[FP] "Every Extend" Bomb Puzzle Game

[TheWanderer]

Hi guys,


This is me and my partner's Gr 11 final project, named "Chain Omega"
You can call me J and my partner A

On a side note, we actually sit directly next to AtoZ in class, who has recently joined compsci
and uploaded their Ace Combat final project; coincidence XD.

The game is an adaptation of Every Extend, created by codename OMEGA
(still unaware of her full name as I am Japanese-illiterate)
which has become Every Extend Extra on the PSP.

The .zip contains:
- .exe of game
- Player's guide in .doc format
- in-game font file (be sure to copy into c:\WINDOWS\fonts for optimal aesthetics)
- hopyfully all the necessary .bmp's, .jpg's, .wav's, and .mp3's needed to run the game

Before trying it out please read my player's guide for the controls
as the game immediately starts the action once you execute it (after a title screen)

Again credits go to:
- OMEGA : for the original game idea in "Every Extend"
- Adobe Systems : for the font "OratorStd"
- Maxis / EA Games : for background music "ElectriCITY" from SimCity 4
- Adam Bielinski : sparkle blur effect in "Forces"
- H2O Entertainment : developers of "Tetrisphere" on the N64 for the sound effects

Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to make sure I included the proper credits for elements I used.


Enjoy!

Hmmm...nice title page (photoshop?)
Anyways it does, really much, remind me another game that's very similar...*cough* Forces *cough*
Though, it's pretty good overall...

P.S. Go Tetrisphere('s sound effect)!

Oh good you recognized the sparkle blur effect~
yes I gave credit to Adam for that element, didn't I?

if you look at it from a whole, drawing lines with Turing then using the sparkle blur will look like Forces since its the same graphics engine : math.

But you're wrong. Why? because its supposed to look 100% like "Every Extend" which is what this game is based on.
Edit : we decided on using the blur effect, but the concepts of the two games are entirely different.
Forces is fun in a gravitational way, Every Extend is fun in an explosive way XD

If you want to say I copied anyone, I copied OMEGA. And I gave credit. This IS an adaptation after all lol
and it was fun to code from scratch ^^

any comments about my gameplay? difficulty? bugs? all welcome. Remember, the game ideas are not mine. The programming is.

Edit : actually just the items and the chaining explosions are OMEGA's.. the background sparks and explosion stay using Adam's sparkle blur are our ideas.
download Every Extend and try the original for yourself. freeware game.

Yes you did...I'm just saying...no need to panic ...

Wow wat a great game!
(it does remind me of forces a little... XP)

Total score: 5774080

lol we couldn't think of any other way to draw the items without them obscuring your view, especially filled ovals =\
Forces also has the same items so I guess that, coupled with the blur engine and shifting enemy shapes, would look just like Forces at a glance.
any suggestions for changing the item appearance?

I can't stress enough that most elements you visually see while playing the game are not my own nor my partner's. we didn't use any ideas from Forces though o.o
please, please look at a screenshot of Every Extend (link from previous post). I'd rather you guys say it looks "EXACTLY like Every Extend!" cause that'd be right ^^ rather than looking like Forces

Edit : our goal was to recreate the most fun, simple game we knew (Every Extend), from scratch; so that if we wanted to create 1000 pixel radius explosions, we could XD
now that it's done it feels awesome, as it was just for fun as a challenge. our friends liked it much, so we decided to share.

5m score is about halfway; I'm glad you like it.

While I was eating breakfast the other day I managed to hit a 1122 max chain with my right hand only; I was like lawl.
the effects looked awesome at that point XD 13m score~
