Ooska,

Hehe, forgive us. I did try the game, and I have to say very good job. However, when at the boss stage, the controls would not work at all.

Mousemovement is the controls on the boss stage.

Yea it's good for no media...

But I actually can't see why you have to punish the farmer for giving away free balloons... Do they explode or something when you hit them??

Very interesting... (in a good way) I really like this game! It's really good for no media and considering you only used characters.

That was awesome! Power in simplicity. It took me a couple tries but I finally beat the super ultra mega deluxe omega farmer boy.

In the first stage, I know you dodge the balloons, but what are the little "O("s at the bottom?

Well, controls are pretty not responsive sometimes and it lags. Other than that good job.

Thanks guys!! One of the first times i've gotten POSITIVE input.

ONE:
The game needed a story (no matter how stupidly pointless) so I just gave an explanation for the balloons and a story. Two ....turds with one stone.

TWO: The 0(s are just to give the image of movement. (theyre actually 00s i just didnt use "get image" very well and i cut off half the second 0.)

I think I'll make a sequal, except it'll have more features.
Feature ideas: (feel free to add more)
~ Ablity to change color
~ Two different uh...projectiles. (adding vomit)
~ A stomach-o-meter that will fill when you eat something. (you can only poo when its full.)
~ A nasea-o-meter you can only spew when it(and the stomach-o-meter)is full) Fill it by performing tricks.
~ Once you beat the game you gain access to the create-your-own section. YOu'll be able to draw your bird, (or ship or whatever), the enemies, and the boss.


Thanks again guys for the input!!!

Great game and cool ideas for the sequel.

You can make graphics without media. Darbasic has 2D drawing commands. That's the way us old foggies used to do graphics. A thousand line statements written on paper then typed into the code.

Thanks.

Yeah, I decided that I liked the kindof..retro feel of symbols only. But the draw-your-own will allow you to move past symbols.
do
if mouseclick() then dot,mousex(),mousey()
loop
(and of course the color changes)

Good fun - if a little too fast on my machine.

The little white character at the bottom only took about a second to go across the screen so was near-on impossible to hit until I slowed it down a bit.

Or is this the correct speed and it's my old brain that's too slow? Lol!

Anyway, it reminded me of a competition I entered once where you had to write a game which used NO graphics commands or media at all - no images, no sprites nothing.

You could only use ASCII characters on screen using the Print or Text X,Y commands and the Ink command.

Oh thanks! Yeah, like I said, the little white character is simply to imply motion. Its the ground. A rock. Use your imagination.
Hehe sorry if it looks like a target.

OH, and about the speed. I made the game into a final. And i put it on a CD. I brought it to my friends house and it was rrrr-eee-aa-ll-yyy slow. I think it has to do with my sync, but Im not sure. Any help?
