Hello! I like to look for good BASIC games on Itch. I haven't played the game yet. However, this is a FreeBASIC game. I am interested because I also found some fun FreeBASIC games on Itch in the past. Sure. Anyway, I will play the game later. I will also tell you what I think later. By the way, the maze in the screenshot looks creative. Besides, if you want other FreeBASIC users to find this game easily, you can use this method: here
Bye!
Hello...I finished the level with 5320 points. In fact, the game was nicely made. Since I am busy, I write a brief summary here:
Good:
1. Allows players to choose from 7 resolutions. (4:3 and 16:9)
2. Full-screen mode. (Many games for game jams don't provide.)
3. Provides a 32-bit EXE file. ( I used a Windows XP computer to test the game. )
4. Moving of graphics is very, very smooth. (Though the CPU is a Core 2 Duo CPU and the display card is G210.)
5. I was really excited while I was chased by those ghosts in the game. So real. This part is really successful!
Not too good:
1. No background music.
2. No sound effect. (May it be not too easy to add background music and sound effects with FreeBASIC?)
(Finally, if you have time, you are welcome to join a BASIC jam. This game jam will take place in Mar: this)
"Sadly, sound is not built into freebasic so it requires an external library which makes source distribution a little harder." <---- There are several FreeBASIC games from the BASIC Jam #1 to #3. All of these FreeBASIC games are without sound and backgound music. You can download them if you are interested.
Good luck in 2023! Bye!
I downloaded the new version. The sound effects are okay now. Wow....the game is much more enjoyable with the sound effects! The sound effects are so good.
On the other hand, there is a strange bug about the keyboard control. Have you tested the game on any Windows 11 computer? The keyboard control is not okay. Extremely slow. After you test the game on a Windows 11 computer, you will understand what I mean. (The keyboard control is normal on my Windows XP computer.)
Thanks for the feedback!
I only have one machine with Windows11, an old Dell that is not officially supported for Windows11 but can run it with a Registery hack. I tried the program this morning on this computer and had no issues. Obviously I could not try every version and every resolution, but I did try both 32-bit and 64-bit, both pman and techman and a couple of resolutions and could not duplicate the issue with a few seconds of play.
Can you provide a little more detail? Which binary did you try, what resolution, was this on desktop of laptop, etc. I'd be happy to try to debug this but it's hard if I cannot repro the issue.
