To summarize a lot of words, we have released another casual game, called: Beat the Beetle.
It’s a pong like game, which unlike pong, has a gravity element to deal with. People who found the previous game too challenging will love this one, you can play it with just one finger, using the spacebar to jump and bounce/block ball (beetle). Anyways “an Elvis man should love it….”
(more…)
Well sort of anyway, just like this blog, the game is put live but in silence. No-one knows about it, but people will find it because google already knows about this blog and it’s only a matter of time that this game will generate heaps of traffic!
Anyway this is how it works, you enter the game via the splash page , there are only 3 pieces of text to get you going, if you click through you enter the game lobby, this is like the waiting room where you are able to challenge other visitors, just click a person and you’re in business, let the games begin!
The game is a hybrid platforming strategic game, first you carefully position your platforms then you are going to jump them, the goal is to get to the opposite platform and touch the golden star, your victory will be huge and of great importance!
The game is becoming more and more playable, right now we are testing the game-play, playing & sitting next to each other and that’s a lot of fun. I’m not sure if this fun factor remains the same if you play it in different physical locations where you really can’t see each other. The game is turn based and there is a moment that you’re actually sit and wait until the movement of your opponent starts to play back and you’re up, to do your stuff. In this waiting-time you are able to chat a little and get your opponent out of his/her concentration. Anyway it won’t take long until the game is released here on fullscreen.nl and I would like to invite you all to give it a shot.

Yes the game is on, After recoding some old as2 into spanking new as3 we are now on our way of releasing our very first multiplayer platform game, my partner is putting together a nice challenging system in Flex, in this environment people can challenge each other to play this platform game where the primary target wil be to cross the screen to your opponents starting point. The game is a hybrid concept leaning both on strategic and agile skills of the players.
