SnarkRanch

Inspired by the Snarkpit Christmas game, I used some open-source editor
to program another snarkpit game. It's called "SnarkRanch", and features great fun & good music. This is an Alpha
version.

Check it out for yourself

(I'll paste the info as an image, I am too lazy to copy it. Press F1 during the game to see this text. :razz: )



And a screenshot (real version's bigger, don't worry)



I just chose the members of which I had a clear photo. No harm intended.

For the next versions, I'm going to splatch down some bugs and make the
game harder/easier if necessary, you guys tell me. Maybe I'll add some
more levels later on, too.

Corrupt zip eh?!!? Why I oughta...

It keeps telling me it's corrupted. I tried to dl it three times.

Sorry guys ... forgot to check my host disk quota, a piece of the file fell off due to lack of storage space.
In about 1 minute you will have a non-corrupted file. :smile:

edit Done !

now go play !

Well I got bored at 1000 and gave up at 5000 having never been
penalised. It was worth it to see the disembodied heads though. :smile:

At request of reno, I'm making it harder now. You can't touch those
cowboys with your cursor ... so you probably have to wait for the right
moment.

Indeed, it was a bit too easy.

New version up in 2 mins.

edit new version up.

(download link stays the same, so make sure you have the new version.)

Another update is up, introducing the green snark to reset all the
snark speeds to normal. Call it a bonus. Thx again to Reno for the tip.

music toggle?...

tomorrow. zzz

edit Fixed it for you. Same download link, bla bla.

LOL at the game, doh! you hit teh leper!

Haha, it was teh fun. I got bored at 7000 though...

I noticed some people find the game a bit too easy.

How about this system ?

Every level, you get 2 minutes to rack up your score. After that, the level changes ( new map) (and the game gets harder.)

I don't get it. A green thing rushes around on screen. Occasionally you loose marks. Clicking doesn't seem to do anything. :sad:

Then read this:



:razz:

You are a bad person for wasting my time like that :razz:

who ? me ? noooooo :razz:

(suggestions on the game are always welcome)

Not you, A_S for posting the same picture twice and making me think they were different, and so read both :biggrin:

Hehe, I looked at the source first. I thought someone hax0rred my info.

Anyway, I did an update.

• Changed Lep & Cass' speeds. (lol, this sounds funny.)
  </li>

• Randomized movements of snarks/cowboys

• cowboys hitboxes = bigger now

• Fixed penalty bug (you could avoid penalty by just keeping still
  when a cowboy passed over your cursor. bad luck, you cheaters :razz: )</li>

Don't make me port it :razz:

This game has no element of danger. There's nothing that makes you stop playing, and the heads are ridiculously easy to avoid. My suggestions:

• Save High Score clears your score back to zero - this creates a gamble of do you cash in or keep going for something bigger, knowing Lep's still running around.
• As you click on the snarks and they get faster, a corresponding head should speed up, with the green snark reseting head speed as well as snark speed.
• Bonuses in dangerous areas - like the fruits in Pac-Man, you need to travel into enemy territory to grab em. In this case, enemy territory would be the less protected interior of the map. Right now, it's easy to just move the cursor out of the playing field. I think the bonuses should also be valued depending on how fast the snarks are moving - a bonus for taking the risk of faster heads by not hitting the green snark.

I could fix the high score table, and do the bonuses.

I'll think of speeding up the cowboys too.

Also, I'll try to make a border so you can't move your mouse out of the
game area. If it's not programmable, I'll just make you lose points if
you do get out of the area :smile:

Ty for your comments.

Ok I haven't played it yet (I'll give more comments when I have), but I think that Lep should be replaced with someone else, and a semi story put into the game. Like "Leperous has lost his snarks from his pit and needs your help to round 'em back up!"

Also add more levels with different colours, and later levels could have more snarks which do stuff like shoot back or something, maybe have a damsel in distress character that you have to stop the snarks getting at?

Ok I played it, wrote a kickass list of suggestions and accidently pressed back on my mouse. I'm too lazy to re-write what I wrote.

Your previous suggestions sound good, and they all look like things I was going to implement anyway.

Thx all for the comments, never thought it would be this fun :smile:

Hey Cass... mind explaining to us what "Bitches.wmv" would happen to be?

he just made that file so his screenshot would look badass

/me giggles..

i have nothing constructive to add, because i figure the game is running behind due to my pic being a part already :biggrin:

perhaps, you could have some sort of wave file trigger if you hit a head, one with us bitching or something.. mine of course would be my insane depletion of diapers

i showed my wife the screenshot.. i think she sums it up perfectly.. "Oh Gawd"

Xtreme thread revival!

If you all send me a wave file with you cursing a bit, I'd be glad to implement it.
