Halfbakeroids
A customized HB themed game, just for us 1/2bakers. | |
I wanted a HB themed Asteroids game, so I made one. Enjoy!
.
You pilot an SS Croissant lifeboat, powered by the centripetal Space Junk drive, in search of croissant survivors from the collision of the ship with a giant fishbone.....
So the story goes.... Download and play....
And make sure
you have DirectX 8.0 at least....
Screen shots now available, for those who are cautious. Sorry that I couldn't get one with pirates, but I didn't have much time.

Sorry, tried to run it on Windows XP pro, all sorts of problems. Hogged resources and never did run. |
|
| |
It runs fine on this old Dell Precision 610 machine: dual Xeon 500, 1 GB RAM. Crap AGP 2x video card.
XP Pro w/SP 2. |
|
| |
Runs fine, but CPU Usage ran consistently at about 55%. RAM usage about 37 Meg. |
|
| |
UnaBubba, It works fine on every computer that I have used it one. |
|
| |
Same thing RayfordSteele. |
|
| |
Well, I'm getting a painful halfbakerrhoid sitting here trying to get it to work ..... |
|
| |
Cute idea, [LittleFox]. I'm scared to try it, but cute nevertheless. |
|
| |
You could also do Fishbone Invaders, where the player hides behind croissant shields at the bottom of the screen, sliding left or right to shoot at the onslaught of zombie fishbone hoards advancing down from the top of the screen to overwhelm all of one's good votes. |
|
| |
Nice work [FoxyMan]! Those pirate ships are fiendish and your ship is just as impossible to control as in the original asteroids. I'm off for another go. |
|
| |
It didn't run here at work on XP, but I'm a firm believer that XP is trash. I'll give it a go at home. Big [+] for the effort, though. |

Supercrappyfragilesystem XP is atrocious, |
|
| |
Even though the GUI is smarmy and precocious, |
|
| |
....
<avatar continues ad nauseum/> |
|
| |
I got it to work, but I was never much of a 'Stroids fan. How many damn times you gotta hit those bones to bust 'em, anyway? |
|
| |
Is there any way you could do a small video clip link or a screen shot for those of us that don't dare download it to see [DesertFox]? |
|
| |
UnaBubba, are you unzipping it? Try this. Go to a library and load it up on that. |
|
| |
susandonim, I'm not sure it runs on macs. Sorry. |
|
| |
Soterios, I have plans for other HB games, including Space invaders! |
|
| |
2fry's, I will post screenshots as soon as possible. |
|
| |
waugsqueke, put the difficulty on wimp and it takes only 2 or 3. Put it on insane, and it takes 30 or so for the large. |
|
| |
This is a customized version of an Asteroids game that is my project for a contest. |
|
| |
The full, non customized version has many more things to do. I plan to release a Halfbakeroids 2 eventually, which will be a customized version of the full version of the project. It will be after the contest, though, because most of my spare time goes towards working on the game. |
|
| |
And don't be scared to download. No viruses. This game was hand made. |
|
| |
//Well, I'm getting a painful halfbakerrhoid sitting here trying to get it to work .....// |
|
| |
Have not even got to the game yet. I was laughing too hard. |
|
| |
So that's what those pebble like nodules are on my bottom! |
|
| |
I must be retarded. I don't know what to do with the croissant once it's moving. It just floats off into outer space...bye bye, croissant, bye bye! And when it's not floating off, I ram it into fishbones which split into 2 fishbones. And that's pretty much all I can do. I die after 3 seconds. |
|
| |
[UB], try running it on an old piece of trash maybe? |
|
| |
Machiavalli, press space to shoot. I forgot to put that in the instructions. |
|
| |
Aahhhh, got it. Thanks, [DF]. |
|
| |
Incidentaly, whenever I play a game without instructions, I always press every key and see which press does what. Sometimes, it is very interesting. |

She couldn't come up with blackmail money? |
