Detonate
« on: July 27, 2011, 11:56:11 pm »
Introducing... DETONATE

Detonate is an innovative game that I had the idea for soon after submitting my demo of Cube Droid to the contest.  I've been working on it on and off since then.  You can do a few things:
1. Push bombs around.  Whee.
2. Set off said bombs.  You do this by setting a pilot bomb by pressing 2nd.  Then it moves down the chain in all directions.  These bombs can blow up other bombs as well as certain blocks, but of course, they can also blow up the exit.
3. Get to the flag.  Do this to advance.

This is going to be a smaller game, but I will not sacrifice much for pure size.  I'm just not going to worry about size at all and see if it ends up around 3000-4000 bytes or so.  Part of this is because each level only takes up 26 bytes of memory.  You gotta love octal compression (plus two bytes).

Let me know what you think!

Hmm, a question:

Couldn't you just push all the bombs out of the way to get to the flag?

And if you couldn't push the bombs away from the flag (because they're so densely packed), then wouldn't that mean that attempting to remove any bombs in the way via explosion would also destroy the flag?

I like the brick sprite -- it looks nice :)

Woah awesome ztrumpet. Nobody had +1'd you before, but it's well-deserved ;) I like the explosions and the engine seems good because the bombs explode bombs near them too.

It looks interesting. Are all levels going to be on single screens?

Then you have to press clear to restart the level. :D

Yup!  (Remember that this is a test level, and I wanted a way to test exiting before I coded the bomb explosion code.)  Real levels won't be so easy. ;)

Yes.  I think this will make it much more user friendly and also allow for more complex-because-they're-dense level design.

Thanks for the support everyone!  I hope you enjoy the concept. ;D

Sounds good Ztrumpet. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this. It's also great that the levels are so small in memory. Also, planning a level editor? :D

Ah, ok, I see.

And you should make a level editor :)

Are there going to be more tiles then just the solid walls and the bricks?

Axe.  I should've mentioned that. ;)

Nope.  I think I'd rather stick with a minimalist game, as I've been wanting to do one is this style for a while.  I think there'll be a lot of depth in level design, though, even if there are only 4 different tiles.

How about more Axe 'programs'. ;)  I've been an Axe programmer since 0.0.5 and supported it from the beginning. :)

Sorry to nitpick like that, but I just wanted to make sure that you didn't think I was new to Axe. ;)
