Shoot, I Got Abducted!

Alarconte · Wed 14/05/2008 03:58:01

Wa, Downloaded and played (what about, fiveteen minutes at much?

Well, I don't like this too smart games, I Love to get inmerse in the story, the art...

But I have to recognaize that the time I played was inmersing and interesting.

I love the alien art

Spoiler

(not the ... er... Famous Gungan master xD), the purple guy was so cute, and the tater... (and the girl)

[close]

But the first character doesn't like too much. One problem I have is that "village english" what a non-english-speaker could be maybe difficult to understand word by word.

But for 3 days work, is an funny esplendid game!

My opinion: A 30 minutes-1 hour duration game could be very fantastic, but this make me sad, make me thinking that could be great, but only ten minutes game is (I don't know how to say this word...] anonying? disgusting? make me sad?

But a great "game", yes ^^

So you planning on using that mirror?

Just add it as second mirror..

Ok, I'll give you sixty years then I'm gonna kil..eh stop the link.
Anyway, cool game. Nice intro.

Great game. Congratualtions!

Loved every BIT of it. Graphics, sounds. Right length, right puzzles. Not too hard, not too easy, just right!
Please don't do a sequel. There are enough sequels already and this game is great the way it is. Just because there's only one. Make more of those unique, creative and brilliant little games though. So if you have another 3 days to spare...

Play_Pretend · Wed 14/05/2008 14:37:23

Ha! That was so cute. My favorite part was the inner tube.

Great graphics, a very fun little game! It only took me about 10 minutes to finish. I can't wait to see "Shoot, I Got Indentured Servituded!"

ThreeOhFour · Thu 15/05/2008 06:33:28

Alarconte: I'm glad you found the game interesting and liked the graphics. I understand some people are disappointed by short games, but I do not regret the length of the game - I enjoy shorter games myself. Thankyou for playing and taking the time to comment

.

Dualnames: Yessir, I'll get onto using that mirror as soon as I figure out how to add a second mirror

. I am pleased that you enjoyed the intro.

Leon: Thanks for your very kind words! I agree that a sequel would be rather pointless, and yes, I plan to make little projects like these every so often when I get bored

. I am sure I'll find 3 days somewhere in the future, but for now I have a couple of bigger projects which demand my attention.

Strange Visitor: Thank you for the nice comments

. The inner tube idea I knew was perfect - I chuckled as soon as LGM mentioned it to me

.

You can always change the rapidshare download link i guess.

Finished it. Didn't take too long.

miguel · Thu 15/05/2008 12:19:20

Finished the game as well! Congratulations! I spent some quality time playing your game, Ben!
Good jokes and graphics!

BadlyDrawnGame · Thu 15/05/2008 17:44:37

Hi. Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the game, so thank you!

However, one thing needs doing if you recompile at any time

Spoiler

Add at least a sound effect, as feedback, when you press the numerals on the console.
I spent a great deal of time assuming I was looking for a keypad elsewhere as the buttons didn't seem to be working

[close]

Otherwise, great stuff and I look forward to more

TassieDevil · Fri 16/05/2008 02:54:45

Great game, you got my vote on the game page!
I am glad you had a mirror, the main download page didn't work, it said quota exceeded or something like that and asked me to subscribe.

I didn't mind having no save option, you play it through in one hit anyway.

ThreeOhFour · Fri 16/05/2008 06:24:22

Dualnames: Thanks, I shall do that. Glad you didn't get stuck playing through

Miguel: Thanks for the nice words. I am pleased you had fun playing!

BadlyDrawnGame: I appreciate your kind comments - thankyou. The issue with the keypad had been brought to my attention and is now fixed

.

TassieDevil: I appreciate you taking the time to rate the game on the game page! I didn't think you'd need a save option, however everyone is different

.

For those interested, the game has now been updated! Things included in the update:

-Up/down walk/talk cycles for Bob.
-Skippable introduction.
-Basic save/load function.
-Visual/audio cues for keypad.
-Various dialog/bug fixes you'll find boring if I detail

.

A very big thanks to everyone who has played the game and also a special thanks to everyone who has commented on here or the games page. I really do appreciate it!

Short, easy and left me smiling. Just the way I like 'em after a long day at work.

Games I mean, you dirty minded buggers. (Otherwise short wouldn't be a requirement.)

Gave my vote at the games page. I can hardly wait for whatever you decide to release next.

Mordalles · Fri 16/05/2008 22:58:58

ThreeOhFour · Sat 17/05/2008 02:44:02

Tube: Thanks for your nice comments (and a spot of humor is always good too

). I appreciate you taking the time to vote

Mordalles: Thanks for playing, and for your nice comment about the walkcycle

MashPotato · Mon 19/05/2008 04:08:59

Very cute and enjoyable! I enjoyed the cartoony graphics

Spoiler

and of course, anything to do with potatoes, particularly werepotatoes, is awesome

Nice job, Ben! Look forward to seeing more from you

EDIT: oops, wrong spoiler code--fixed

ThreeOhFour · Mon 19/05/2008 04:41:36

Hahaha, thanks Mash! I should have known that'd get me bonus points

I plan on having more to show soon

Seeing a lone man drawing/animating in such a beautiful way and displaying such consummate storyteller's abilities (albeit in a tiny and simple enviroment) warms my heart and makes wonder what awaits next in the AGS galaxy.

A question out of curiosity: in the first screen ("a game by Ben chandler") we see 7 blue squares placed in two columns. Is there a meaning behind such a logo?

edit: tunes are catchy and not boring, so handshake to the musician too!

kaputtnik · Tue 20/05/2008 23:39:26

Hello there, bicilotti - as the musician I'd like to express my heartfelt thanks for your appreciation (especially since you took the inconcvenience of editing your original post) - these three tunes were rather hurriedly dispatched since Ben had already set the pace, be sure to check out Lode whenever it will be ready, it will feature some of my more elaborate (and hopefully still catchy and not boring) tunes and - compared to this here game - a whole galaxy of Ben's (definitely still consummate and not boring) storytelling and graphics.

I don't know if Ben wants me to give away the secret of the seven blocks, but I suppose I can give you a hint: Take a close look at his nickname.

You're really into the blocks and colors business, aren't you?

Not to go too far off topic, but since you dropped in: Good luck with finishing ColourWise, I've been keeping an eye on it ever since you have posted it and I love what you have revealed up to now.

ThreeOhFour · Wed 21/05/2008 05:59:05

Hey Bic - thanks for the nice comments! I never considered myself a storyteller much, so it's nice to think somebody liked my story. As for the 7 squares, yes they have a poorly veiled significance which Sebastian has hinted at. Thanks again for playing

SuperDre · Wed 21/05/2008 16:29:25

Just played the game and it was a great short game.. Hope you'll expand it into a larger game, the character itself is quite a funny character...

neon · Wed 21/05/2008 18:49:21

Just played through. Nice little game, no bugs, good thing for the coffee break.
