Steves 'Game in a Weekend'
-
Hello my fine fellows (and ladies too). after working hard on Subs 2 for what seems like an age, I needed a break from it and came up with an idea!
'Game in a Weekend'. sort of my own personal gamejam. Not something I'll do every weekend but perhaps once a month or so.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you GIAW #1 'Row Yer Boat!'
a simple little game featuring 10 levels, including 2 bonus levels and 2 bonus coins per level. Can you complete all 10 levels?
Here is the download code and it is live now: NXK3Z1FD9D
Here is a little video
I hope you enjoy the game and I will add to this thread when I do game #2 in a few weeks time.

I know it's the wrong thing to be focusing on but I absolutely love that music. Will definitely be giving this a try!
-
Top score so far is 303. That second coin in the second level is fiendish!
Edit: Yes! Finished with 410. In the later levels there's no way I'm trying for those coins.. -
That’s excellent mate really really good! Love it
-
That's fantastic! Really like the level design and not sure how you tested it all in a weekend. 325 is my high score and climbing!
My only suggestion is that my 80's arcade mojo wants 3 lives to carry on from where I last died. If you decide to go that route, that would probably just mean you have to add more levels. :D

Thank you, I won't be changing the game as I promised myself once I submitted it 'that was it'. But I'll take your idea on board and probably do it for the next one.

Thanks for sharing the game, it was fun to play! Good choice of sounds as well!
I agree on the 3 lives feedback, but I respect the this is a one weekend project mentality 👍

I just tried the game and I think it is great. Is the gameplay an original idea? Can’t say I have encountered it before...
Well done!
-
Thanks everyone for all the kind comments, I enjoyed doing it.
Sadly it's going to be some time before I can do another (or work on Subs 2) because my Switch has pretty much died and I cannot run fuze or any games right now.
So sadly I'm Fuze-less (which is very frustrating).I intend to do this again when I get a functional Switch, for sure.
-
Oh no, that’s crap. Are you able to retrieve your data? Or if not, did you share a very recent version? I’d be horrified if I lost all my work.
-
it's okay, I did a cloud backup only the day before. so my stuff is safe.
-
Be careful though! Not everything is back-upped with a cloud back-up. For example, I don't have Animal Crossing, but coincidentally I know that you can't transfer Animal Crossing progress to a new Switch using cloud backup.
