Yes, folks..... the team that brought you "The Three Flamingos" returns with their first beta level.... "Grab the Yellow Things".

Seemingly simple at first, mastering this little game will require all of your skill and cunning!

So go ahead..... GRAB EM!

What's this now?! Grab the yellow things is up?! (runs off to tell Vmethos so he can spend all night getting the high score)

btw, here's a picture, Ccubbage:

This was a fun little game in the Beta!! Simple, but some serious scrambling involved to get a high score.

The spinning thingies are a treat from triangle to giraffe. Giraffe? oh yeah.. xkappax.. never mind, perfectly normal thing.

Might have been fun to add some extra point things, but as a raw race, this is pretty darn good clean fun.

4 stars and a heart.

He was off in the corner and no one had seen him for a while. I was making the plus sign or ... some shape. I don't even remember.. and we flew up to see what he was doing and that giraffe was there. I learned that day that a giraffe was indeed considered a shape. 2009-12-29 01:44:00

It was a fun challenge. Have you thought about making some type of punishment for touching the floor? It seems like it would make it more intense if you know you have to go from obstacle to obstacle to get the best score.2009-12-29 16:48:00

Hmmm... hadn't thought of that. From the very beginning the idea was to simply throw the player back up when they hit the floor. Maybe if I can get the rest of the team together for "Grab the Yellow Things 2: Now there's death!"

Maybe it should be "Grab the Yellow Things 2: Grab the Red things"
Either way, I'm in. Let's do it.

Part 3 could be Grab the stripey things.

Ok.... I think I see where this is going.... let me replace a few stickers and move a few shapes.... ok... that should about do it!

Now releasing.... 5 new levels: Grab the red things, the blue things, the stripey things, the black/white gradient things, and the kidney-colored things!

Should hit page 1 at about the same time....

In order for it to hit page 1, it's got to have "when the bombs drop" in the title. That's a new requirement, or didn't you get the memo? 2009-12-30 13:15:00

I totally grabbed all of the yellow things today. Larry got the high score under my name. And Ccubbage, larry said that if you really did want to make a sequel, he'd be totally up for it. ^_^2010-01-03 02:14:00

Last night, Larry and i played 2 players and got the high score. Then Vmethos obliterated our score on single player. I have to hand it to you, Ccubbage, this idea was simple, but it's so much fun!2010-01-05 16:44:00

Yeah - it would be pretty cool to build an entire level out of it... maybe multiple stages and paths.... we should start thinking about it.

By the way, didn't Vmethos help with this game also? I know a 4th creator came in, but I couldn't remember exactly who it was.

Yeah, he did. He was over the house and we both used my playstation. He was playing as me and i was in on the second controller. It's hard to create on the same screen as someone. He made the ninja star object in the bottom left. I think he might have made something else, too, but I can't remember what.

I'd gladly work on a full "grab the things" level. I think Larry and Vmethos would be more than happy to help, too. Larry hates creating, but I'm almost positive he'd do this. We were talking about it a little last night when we were playing.

Cool - I'll start thinking about some ideas. One thing I think would definately improve the level would be the insides of the shapes not being grabbable - this would make it more satisfying to grab the things.

lol. yeah, that was my only complaint about the level. Sometimes I would be grabbing the insides of the ninja star instead of the yellow thing.

I'm thinking that if we have a story, "kickin' karl" will have to be involved. Oh man, this could be so zany! ^____^

True... not a bad idea, but some shapes it might be helpful to grab part of the insides, just not around the "yellow grabby thing". Like the pound sign looking thing. ..might be helpful to grab in the entrance paths for a bit, but just not where you need to grab.

that's true. There are a few shapes that were a problem when you got inside of them to grab the yellow things. the ninja star was probably the worst for grabbing the wrong thing. That's something that'd have to be addressed if we were to do an expanded version.2010-01-05 18:57:00
