I Was in the War

I Was in the War (direct download) is a simple platformer by Bisse, made for the current Poppenkast 3-hour compo. The central mechanic in this game is that you can hit “A” to flip across the red line which acts as a two-sided platform (“S” to jump). Pretty awesome concept.

    wohoo! another one that can’t be played with Vista.

  4. Melly said about 3 hours later:

    Vista sucks.

    But just look around, there are Vista fixes for Game maker games.

    A is flip, S is jump! Got nuked at 19,016 – awesome game!

    Wow yeah, where the hell did I get “N” from?

    Very fun little game, I especially like that you can flip the sides while jumping. The first time I played it I read “Thank strike commence”. That felt nicely ironic :D

    The seemless flipping also reminds me of the Half-Life 2 Mod “Flipside”, made by students of the danish DADIU. Definitely also worth a look :)

    I don’t know Derek. My first play through, unable to flip, I felt like you were sabotaging our scores! 22420 - new nuke score. Anyone know the maximum possible score (points earned per second / seconds until nuke hits..) ? Also, try flipping mid-jump. Very useful, and looks cool ;)
