It's a Ninja. That Lunges Lemons.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTinYesterday, I decided to do my biology homework. We had been given a paper with a 10x10 grid, and was supposed to, without looking, make 100 dots randomly all over it with a pen. We would then ask anoher person to say 10 numbers between 1 and 100. We would then count how many dots were in those 10 grids in total. This may not seem like biology, but it was something about figuring out how many individuals of a species there was in an area by taking random samples all over the place. Anyway, I realised I forgot that paper at school. Hmph. And I didn't want to make a new one. Even though it's not supposed to be in til Thursday, and I could take the paper home on Monday. But the geek I am, I decided to let the computer do this for me! So I made a program in Game Maker that generated 10 random rounded values between 0 and 99, which started over if any of the 10 had the same value, then created 100 random objects that were assigned one random rounded value between 0 and 99, and if that value matched any of the original 10 values a global variable went up by 1. Then that variable was drawn. Then you could press a key to restart. Then I spiced it up by adding several tracking variables that tracked how many times it had restarted (not counting the restarts when two of the original values became identical), the total value of the global variable (the result) and the mean of it. Then I decided to look at some old games I made. I mean, heck, the last time I used GM was several months ago! And I stumbled across this. My best game, even though it's unfinished. It had great potential. Such a shame...
This project was started by me and 3 friends about a year ago. I did all the programming. But when we after a month or so didn't have a single sprite, cuz our artist was slower than slowpoke, we just stopped working on it and waited til we would get anything from him. I worked a little on it once in a while ayway, and managed to make what could be called a demo, consisting of one small level, one big level and one boss. Except that all sprites was placeholders stolen from the GM platform engine, which was used (but altered) btw. When that was done, I just waited for the artist. Who never drew a single pixel, even though we DOITNAO every day. And it was DEAD.
Since there's only placeholder sprites and it's not finished, I would like you to pretend that:
The main character is a Ninja.
The yellow dots are Lemons.
The green/blue dots are Limes.
The mushrooms are coins.
The level sign is different.
The ammo symbol is a Lime.
The monsters are different.
The tileset is different.
The boss monster is a big white monkey.
The sound effects are different.
There is music.
There is 21 levels.
Controls:
Arrow Keys: Move/Jump/Climb
Ctrl/Z: Lunge a Lemon (can crit)
Space/Shift/Alt/X: Lunge a Lime (stronger but limited ammo)
F2: Restart level
F1: Brings up some blargh I forgot to remove
To activate cheat mode, press, in the following order: L E M O N Enter
Shift: Instant critical Lemon
F11: Go back one level
F12: Go forward one level
