VR Dodgeball Remixed!

Archive: 5 posts


Ever since getting it, I've wanted to make a mini game using the Paintinator. So I decided to do it.

This is another type of survival mini game. The concept is simple, shoot every "player" while dodging the plasma balls. Course, there's a never ending amount of players on the other team, and they don't like to play fair. If you make them real mad, they might even sick their "secret weapon" on you...

It starts out pretty easy...

And it only gets worse...


How long can you survive?

This level was fun, but I have one complaint and that is the electric patch of ground. That patch just came off as annoying and with the enemies being right there it;s kinda pointless to have it anyways.2009-02-08 22:50:00

The idea behind the electrified part is that one of the rules of dodgeball state that you can't go on your opponent's side of the field. Plus, if you could go over there, it would be easy to (for instance) knock the enemies over by jumping at them, so they end up not being a threat. Plus, it would make it a little too easy, and a few of the tricks here wouldn't even be a threat at all if you just hid on the right side.2009-02-09 01:14:00

I agree with gameguy, the electricity patch is part of the challenge.2009-02-09 02:29:00

Hey Gameguy,

I agree that it's sad that this level's received so little feedback.

I managed to come 5th on the scoreboard!

The electric floor didn't really bother me that much (the trick is not to step on it), but the paintinator being in the middle and so close to it did catch me out a few times. I know that the balls are lined up in the centre of the court for the 'opening rush' in dodgeball - but in the heat of the moment, while dodging incoming plasma balls, it's very easy to hit the electric bit while going for a refill, so I was thinking maybe the paintinator should be in a hole in the wall near the back that you can jump into. Not technically dodgeball, I know, but it might incline people to stick with it.

Also - make the score bubbles so that they have infinite lifespan - I thought that I was clocking up a load of bubbles for a killer combo - but most of the bubbles had disappeared!!! With these challenge type levels it's nice to score high, and it would add a bit of strategy to the proceedings.

I had fun in this level - my first few attempts were rather short-lived, but I did get into it. I couldn't work out how to get the key at the end.

Let me know if you change anything, I'd be happy to give it a run through - and I plan to get to your other levels in a bit.
