Toxic Below by dertom
Since lots of people told me the game is almost not controllable I changed the controls to keyboard. Everything else stayed the same...
You fly a Toxic-Chopper to clean the earth from toxic fluid that got pumped in years for years by the oil/gas industry.... Now it comes back and it need to be removed again...and that is YOUR JOB :D
Fly carefully to the toxic and pump it up with your vehicle. Don't get too deep into the toxic! Otherwise...
There are 5 Levels!! Come on, it's not that hard.
Afterjam-Controls:
left/right : a/d or arrows
thrust : return or space
Jam:
100% Mouse-based:
Left-Button: Thrust UP
Mouse-Movement: Left<->Right
Yes the controls are tough, but that is part of the game. It is all about timing... :D
Mac-Port: Got the game ported to mac. There are some issues with openal and it have a bug when leaving the game....but hopefully it should work :D
Android: Touch to thrust and accelerometer to move! :D The accel only works only on devices with portrait as native orientation correct. Otherwise the wrong accel value is taken...Game needs lots of power and a decent resolution(otherwise the start-game button won't show up :D)
Since my engine has still some issues it would be great to tell me your system you played on (especially if it crashed)

@Titiesouris: Hmm,seems the GUI is not shown, damn.
@BlazingFanfish: Yeah, the controls might be a bit hard and might differ from mouse-settings,...not sure why I didn't implement keyboard-control (too late for this now)
At some point the "toxic collected" counter gave a value of 199.99999/200 so I was afraid I had to restart the level, but fortunately it still registered as 200/200!
to bad really wanted to try looks like a fun game .
PS : keyboard version work well and nice sounds ;)
One big critic: the sound effects were too loud (elvating sound, hitting-the-floor )! That's a pity because I had to turn the volume down and could not hear the well done, moody bg music anymore :(
Crashes at the end of the level so I couldn't play it entirely. Good game though. I like the graphics. The slurping animation is very good/funny. Also, nice engrish. It's always interesting to hear man-made MIC sound effects.
Also I made a linux version of my game for you (the daring adventures of the blob)
