This is a game I started working on in 2004. It was originally intended to be a present/surprise for a friend. It is based on an old comic I made during boring math classes in seventh grade a long time ago. Me and my friends loved this copy, it was about as insane as we were.
Back in 2004, I found some of these old comics in a box and read them. I was shocked, these comics were insane - much more insane than I am today (those who read the spam thread know how insane I am).
Anyway - this inspired me to make a game for it. Just for fun. The game was absolutely not intended to be "good", it was meant to be strange, idiotic and annoying. Just like those old comics.
I worked on it from time to time back in 2004, and even in 2005. Adding more content and eventually, it was almost a full game. With lots of bugs and other crap (the engine SUCKS!) which prevented me from releasing it in any form, and I was too lazy to fix everything, so I just abandoned it altogether.
Today I've decided to post a single-level demo of it (the full game has about 15 levels or so). I decided to remove everything slightly unfinished because well, I'm lazy. Anyway, this is the best level I think, and that's why I chose it.
Try it out, you might enjoy it - but prepare to be frustrated. The game is HARD. And annoying...
Controls:
Left/right arrow: Walk
Up arrow: Jump
Space: Shoot
ESC: Pause menu (which allows you to exit at any time)
F1: Info screen (very outdated)
Before you say anything:
- The game is meant to annoying. It's not serious in any way, it's not supposed to be good, it's not supposed to be fun (although I kinda think it is). Consider it a joke.
- The controls are crap. If you walk against a wall, you'll "grab onto" it, this way, you can avoid enemies underneath you, for example.
- The game features an original soundtrack, composed by my brother (Stefan at this board). The in-game music ends abruptly.
- The game is intentionally ugly. I usually work with graphics, but this is a rush job and the style is reminicent to that of my old comics (very sloppy, etc).
- Murder of Crows Software, Inc. is just a stupid joke name. It is also something of a reference to a Simpsons episode.
- The flying birds are harmless. They're merely there to add to the "atmosphere."
- There are no items in this demo.
- If you walk "outside the level" you will die.
- The bullets "break" after a while, when they start getting slightly yellow, they won't have any effect. This is a very short-range weapon.
