That being said, Invader Zim music is the fucking shit when its being played during this game. It adds to the atmosphere. That and Virt's Option song is awesome too.

I also made a boss. http://www.freewebs.com/cpubasic13/dualships.fed
It splits into two. If you just fight it without upgrades its a pain at rank 100. Otherwise, a nice transition boss if anything.

Kinda neat how they stay in formations. That and the lasers they're equipped with are just sdabsdfsdbsdgbsdl.

Other than that, it's pretty good.

Considering its my second boss too.

I need to make one that is just deadly and awesome too. That one has only a few weapons and I was thinking of adding more too.

EDIT: Also, made a YouTube of me playing it earlier.

What I'd like to see is someone make a boss that actually has the core tucked away inside a huge maze.

Of course, it'd be too easy unless you put a few hazards in there along the way

First link, check out Supply Depot. It is like that, except not overly complex and starts off with two ships attacking you. I highly sugges trying that one out. Then escape from it alive.

Just tried it not long ago; pretty awesome. Although I kept dying continuously. I had no upgrades, however.

HyperDumb v1: just a small ship I threw together in about 10 minutes. Although, sadly, I died fighting my own creation

Hi, X.

Hi, Chaos. This thing splits into 4 at the middle at the beginning, though.

X
Chaos
Sword (annoying bastards that try to ram into you and then self-destruct)
Toaster (

)

I hate all of you, by the way.

Chaos is actually rather interesting in that it has a really nice balance. It's tough as nails if you try to fight it normally, but if you blow up the weakpoint (it's one or two L1 blaster shots) it falls to pieces

(No item boxes for anything but toaster, mostly because I thought they were random

)

Hydrapheetz: Hyperdumb doesn't move at all for me, so it's really just "shift left, shift right, shoot with blaster"

cpubasic: eh. I dunno why, but for some reason I found myself geting aggrivated at yours

I just got this and watched a couple of youtube videos on it. It feels and plays great if you ask me.

Im currently working on a boss. Nothing like THIS though.

I want to get that one. Or make something close to impossiable

The only thing I don't like about the game is the camera.

Spinning around and around until you vomit isn't ... fun

Hence why I said it wasn't finished yet.

Although I'll probably work on it some more today.

It's possible, maybe. parts.txt gave me a hint as to how it might be done.

Although, really, I'd like to see someone attempt to disassemble the format the parts use. I'm just going to assume each part definition contains a list of actions+movement code+other crap.

Insight could come from turning on 'info' in the enemy editor, it shows a script-like structure, though opening parts files in notepad -> gibberish.

I tried this and was blown away by the AWESOMENESS!

Rough estimation of awesomeness:
Ask BMF if we can make this into a smiley...

I have to say, this is fun. Now I should make my own. (As soon as I stop playing...)

Gentlemen, Behold.

The Grappler!

Here is the thing about this boss.

Getting close up to him will either cause two things

1- Orbiting vulcan Crosses may hit you / or the Bullets (By the way, one of them has a part that circles around, constantly regenerating the Boss)

2- If the sword touches you, you are gone.

However keeping your distance is tough too, seen how the sword may hit you, it wont effect you as bad as it would being close up to it.

Oh yeah, Yousendit is not working, I need to host this.

I will create more as I post along. He isnt the best I made, but whatever.

Death Spindle, my second attempt at a boss (I might upload my first, Vortex Stinger, if I can make it suck less). It starts out completely immobile, but soon detects your presence and splits into four spinning wheels of doooooooooom, each one having a different method of attack.

Death Spindle

...yeah, it's probably way too easy, and horribly unbalanced. I'm working on it.

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

Crystal core attempt...

(and third boss as well... the other two not worth displaying...)
This thing is pure defense... and unlike the gradius version it will cover its weak point most of time, so I had to make it so you can destroy its arms...

Overall it will take a while to destroy... At the lowest ranks it will focus mainly on defense and ocassionally shot easy bullets... but at the highests it becomes insane.

You can also upgrade the explosions thing and cheat through its armor from behind... (yet that's suicide on high ranks...)

And I know it's very... purple...

It does look like the crystal core, only purple instead of blue, also please host it somewhere, it's nice to look at it, but I'd rather fight it.
Anyway, I posted these already in IRC, but for those that didn't get them:

The Thingy
-My first, and possibly best, creation. The arms that hold the plates swing around.

no image
DOOOM
-This was a joke, but turned out very fun to fight, just a core with a crapload of homing lazers, set to rapidfire in 8 directions.

The Wing Core
Based off of a similar foe from Gradius III, it's pretty self-explanatory.

Lvl: 16 ~ Vit.: 100% ~ Exp: 19365/20256 (891 left)
----------------------------Crystal core
Sightly modified. Now has a bit more blue (but still purple/white overall

It's hard to make a dark blue when you only have cyan and purple lights...) and will fly away from you. I had to make this becouse otherwise it would just curl up, face away from you and shoot you with its rear guns... hopefully now you might fight it...

Flying Sword

Random sword thing... Even though the laser kills you (or should...), is as easy as the bullet manta or the fighter...

Flame ring rev.3

A modification of the Flame rings 1 and 2... This one has 4 extra boosters to increase speed a bit more and 2 kinds of attacks...

Something
No picture becouse the thing is a mass of moving metal and fire.
My second boss... This thing atacks by firing waves of shots in certain patterns. It also has flame trowers and these nice blades at the end of each arm... Just stay out of its reach and keep shooting it. It takes a while to kill and slows down a bit...

Dragonfly Nest

Take out the four dragonflies guarding the nest, then blast away the nest's protective shielding to expose the main core. Be careful--the nest has some defenses of its own!

(this one gets super crazy at rank 100

)

Hey Mog, do those dragonflys actually fly around the Main core? If so, How did you do that? I have been meaning to know how. ____________________ This layout would look better if I freaking knew how to make it transparent. Better Days
