Frogging - XNA by gladers

[raw]
made by gladers for LD30 (JAM)
UPDATE ITS WORKING!!
Thank you for all your comments. I have fixed the game and also included Microsoft XNA with the game. (Its a 6mb install file)

-------------------------------------------------

The year is 1985..
On route 69 there has been a head on collision between two trucks.
One containing state of the art arcade games such as frogger and pacman, pong clones and the other containing toxic waste.

The toxic waste has caused the arcade world to connect with the real world.

The roads are overrun with Space Invaders, pong has overtaken a basketball court and Pacman has found a hedge maze in the local park!!

Can you escape to the other-side of the river before the military comes to clean up this mess??

Replay the game for harder difficulties.

-----------------------------------------------

Windows - Unzip and install XNA if you don't have it already (you probably do have it installed). Then run the Arcade.exe to start the game.

Crashing on launch for me, on Windows 7. No error, just an application has stopped working message.

@5T4MP5 do you have xna 4 installed? Can you try to open Arcade.ccgame if you have xna?

lol this was awesome, I loved it. I managed to complete all the levels (It started over so assumed I was done)
A brilliant idea!!
The controls and collisions were a bit unforgiving, but I really liked it, and wonderful use of the theme! Great job!

@Mekuri Thanks for playing :D
It restarts and gets a bit harder, theres an ending screen if you can complete it on hard, but the pong level is brutal on hard mode :)

If the games not running and you have xna installed, please contact me by twitter @gladers so we can diagnose and get the game running on as many pcs as possible.

Good game, but very repetitive. Would love a little bit of variation in an updated version

@Vytheros if theres enough interest in extending the game I will, remember frogger only had 1 screen, this has 4 :)

Hehe, poor frogs! Mixing up so many gameplay elements in one weekend was surely challenging. Gave you 5 points on Innovation and Humor :)

Very cool! We actually considered doing a frogger game that was connected to a racing game so the cars could run over the frogs.

Great game, I like a lot how genres where mixed together.

Not too innovative and quite short. And collision detection on pong level is so unfair it makes me cry. But it fits the theme very well!

*Hint the left bat aims the ball right at you. The right bat reflects it. The easiest way to dodge the ball is going downwards. Make the run from the right of the screen.
See you tube video if you are still stuck. Anyone else need the pong round made more simple? Theres like 5 different ways to complete it.

Definition of Innovative - Introduce (something new).

To the world of Frogger, theres a lot of new stuff :)

Nice. If this was an arcade cabinet you would have made all your money on the pacman level.

I liked the way you interpretated the theme 'connected worlds', but besides that, the game is not bery original... Good graphics.

The game looks really hard. I really like the idea of mixing different arcade games. I know some of these assets I think ;) Great entry - good job

Cool way to fit the theme. Fun and polished game, and I like how you can keep walking up to increase the difficulty. I got stuck on the insane difficulty though.

Great job, neat idea. I liked the music too! I got stuck on the pacman level though, could never sneak around those damn ghosts. I wouldn't have a chance on the "hard" mode :P

Nice interpretation of the theme, and it is impressive that everything work! That said, the gameplay is a little stiff, specially on the "PACMAN" level. Don't know if that was intentional, but it didn't feel natural.

By the way, I see that you tried running my game last week, but it crashed. I've detected and fixed some memory errors, so you're welcome to come back and try it again! Thanks :)
