INFO ABOUT GAME:
You play as a fighter, stuck inside a facility. You are equipped with only 10 superballs, which you must use to hit switchs throughout the facility. As you progress, you find the use of P.O.W.D.E.R. (perfected organic whirled dusts enter redemption), which can be used in creative ways. This IS a puzzler, but it has an RPG type storyline, and is VERY distantly based on Portal.


ALPHA RELEASE!
Here you can download the Alpha 0.06.
Remember: this is alpha version 0.05, so it is VERY early.

_~^~CONTROLS^~_~
up arrow key: jump
right/left: move
down arrow:shoot superball
f key: Shoot fire, when you've gained it.
REMEMBER: as it is still in the alpha stage, the controls could CHANGE WITH EVERY UPDATE, so reread the controls each time.

[powdermaster]

what about me?

[ROBiT]

Ah, sorry.

[molopoy]

I can do all of that accept storyline i'l learn tho So yer Ill help

[ROBiT]

Please choose one.

[shirogake]

Okay, you should be able to pick up weapons along the way to fend off enemies. Certain switches activate stuff to kill monsters you can't rid of otherwise.

Controls (Depending on how):
Either
UP = Jump
Down = Duck(To dodge things like fireballs in normal area)
Left+Right= Move Left and Right
Mouse = Aim Superball/ weapon
Mouseclick = Throw Superball/Shoot
Numbers = Weapons, 1-9 are guns/swords/etc. 0 is Superball
Control+Direction = Run, Heightened Jump, and Laying


Storyline for the factory part 1, I'll have soon.

Also, this shouldn't have an end to it. No ending part. To quests/etc, yes, but the game, no.

[none2]

There should be no weapons besides Superball and later in the story, the other elements. But SuperBall should be infinite and the other powders have assorted amounts of ammo, depending on their usefulness. The game should end in escape and there would be a sequel in another factory, explaining how you got there. You should unlock elements and have a default amount, but there will be packages in some levels. Here is my possible order of unlocking elements for use:

1. SuperBall (explained above)
2. Water ( drowns certain beasts, activates pressure switches
3. Fire (basic, kills some beasts and burns some thinfs
4. GunPowder (can be combined with fire for explosive)

More once I think of it!

What About ME!!!

[ROBiT]

And the reason you have only 10 superballs is because in the early levels, you only have to activate switchs with superballs to continue. As you progress, you need to use superballs less and less, so the 10 limit isn't a very big deal. NOTE: Failing a level (such as dying or running out of ammo) Will result in a complete GAME RESTART(this is for the alpha only, until I work out some level restart glitchs.). You can save game, and there will be certain secrets (secret areas, powders, and abilities.) The basic physics (such as shooting superballs, superballs bouncing, jumping) are completed.

HOW ABOUT ME IN STAFF )': you said you hired me

[none2]

Ok then. But how about 20 superballs and there is a level retry button?

[shirogake]

When I say weapons, I mean the other weapons are certain elements.

The game shouldn't have an end, and the factory is like a prologue.

Elements:
0: Superball
1: Powder(Distracts enemies)
2: Fire(Burns stuff. If used too long, kills player. Can make into a fireball to throw.)
3: Water(Used for pressure switches, etc.)
4: Ice(Throw a tiny ice ball. Makes the floor slippery, and is good for keeping an enemy on guard)
5: Gas(For 'blinding' the enemy temporarily. Meant for escaping.)
6: C-4(Used to create tracks to bombs, for blowing down doors, etc.)
7: Stone(Throws a small ball of stone. Used for certain switches, and stuns an enemy shortly.)
8: Box(Here's what it does: You place a small box. You can use it to reach high places, it being a grappling hook there, and is used for certain switches. Can cause an enemy to trip(Only the basic ones) and fall, allowing you to run out of a situation.)
9: Ant(Can eat certain enemies alive, creates passageways to out of reach switches, and can clear the basic solids that are in your way(When Metal, Ice, and C-4 walls for example, block your way)
-: Fireworks(Distract groups of enemies temporarily)

I'll see if I can fit more stuff in soon.

[ROBiT]

I'll try to fit some of that in (such as ants...), but getting the enemy AI to work is my current problem.

[Exthara]

I can do graphics.
And full animation
Do you use game maker-Cause I make gifs which are easily compatible

[ROBiT]

Hired, you are now working under ShiningSilver, so submit your designs to him.

[Exthara]

This is


Thanks Rift...

[ROBiT]

No problem.
UPDATED: You no longer restart the whole game on death, only that level!

[Exthara]

Good...
Make the enemies boxes ;D

[ROBiT]

Actually, they are stick figures... and I think I'm going to leave enemies out until the later levels... it adds an air of mystery...

[Exthara]

oh well
