Subject: Week 4... Games beginning with F

Written By: ChuckyG on 03/13/07 at 11:23 am

Would have been up last night, but I got sick of doing some of the stuff by hand, and spent some time at lunch today writing a new script to make my life easier.

So, most likely, I'll upload games every week without fail now.

Red Ant has taken over the cleanup tasks for the arcade, moving things out of the untested category, adding thumbnails and descriptions, etc.  He totally deserves a round of applause for all that effort!

It was a hard game too.  I couldn't get in the right sexual position.  The woman obviously likes it a certain way :D

I love that Falldown game, but damn it wrecks my eyes.  Reminds me of TV sets that had vertical hold

I tried to revive it and set permissions for you only, but apparently the auto-filter for the word fudge doesn't like the even the filenames of the game (wouldn't let me save edits) so it'll have to go stay gone for now.

It was lame anyway... how can I put this?: The object of the game was to introduce young, highly pixellated, silicone inflated, articles of clothing challenged ladies to your secret recipe of high-protein special sauce at a distance from the most phallic like gun I've ever seen.

Of course, I played it once, you know, just for testing purposes...  ;D

As for the rest of the duplicates/broken games listed here, I'll get those removed tomorrow. Nearly 200 new games were added today, so reviewing and thumbnailing them will take some time.

I think Funhousejs should go.  It could possible offend/anger alot of people.  Plus, it's just such a stupid game.  lol

Firestormjs is super lame.  You're supposed to put the flames on each level out as fast as you can, but if you stand in one place, and click as fast as you can, you can rack up 140+ scores.  Boring with a capital zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I think Flyswatter has reverse scoring.  Either that, or I am not swatting those flies in the right way.  lol

Firebase 36 is super hard, especially since the instructions on that game are highly insufficient (if not inadequate).

Here's what you need to know to at least make your batallion move in the direction(s) you want them:

Left click on one of the soldiers. You should hear him unlocking his rifle.
Move your cursor to a position where you want the soldier to move towards. Double left click on that position to get a hold.
The soldier should now answer you with something like "Roger" or "Will do!" and start moving in the direction you gave him. If not, nothing will ever happen.

Firing seems to happen at random. Don't know how to control that (if possible... :-\\).

So far for the basics. I still have to figure out all the extras (like calling for backup, which is essential unless you want to get butchered).

Thanks for the tips :)

It is a super hard game.  Everytime I call on the radio, all my requests get denied.  When I click the soldiers, and point them where to go, they shoot while they walk, but when they get up close to the enemies, they just stand there and get killed.  There really doesn't seem to be a way to make them fire on command, which is the only thing I dislike about the game

Both gone, Firestorm for being seriously lame, and Fun House for saying asshole and its torture theme... and for being stupid and having only 2 levels.

fourballs wont let me submit my score

from start to finish has backward scoring

Still going through the F games, though I'm almost through page 7. Everything up to that point has been checked, edited, described, thumbnailed, etc., and is working fine. I probably wiped 15 duplicate/broken/cheatable games tonight. I need to know about dupes earlier so I don't kill a lot of people's trophies.

I didn't really do anything in flexycombat so I'm not really sure if the games scoring backwards or just stupid.

I went back to flexicombat and didn't press anything.  scoring is backwards if nothing else

I gotta take a break from that Freefall game, otherwise I'm gonna put my fist through a piece of glass

I saw your score. All you have to do to get it is die without scoring points. Scoring isn't backwards, it's broken, so that game is gone.

I Think it's actually a girl.  Either that, or some gay guy in a pink dress ;D

Eventually he will deploy his chute yes.  Amazingly I was able to do it twice (out of about 200 tries; most of which were restarts so I wouldn't get a zero) lol  I wanna beat SB's score in it, but I'm afraid I might smash something if I attempt it.  lol
