Been working a bit on the visuals in the game, as well as the faceoff systems and the goal nets. Here's a new short gameplay video (with music this time!) to give an idea of the feel of the game in its current state.

Hello all,

Just wanted to introduce the project I've been working on for a few months and to give it a simple landing page on itch.  Forecheckers Hockey (working title) is a simple, fast-paced arcade style hockey game, but played from a first person perspective. There is no switching players mid-play as you'd expect in a team sports video game, so you must play as an actual teammate as you scrimmage against the opponents team. 

itch.io Page

Current features: 

  • 5 shot types (Wrist shot, snap shot, slapshot , one-timer, deke)
  • Manual free-puck control for getting around the goalie
  • Snap-assisted passing
  • Body checking
  • Poke checking
  • Call for pass from teammate
  • Set teammates up for one-timers
  • Simple but competitive AI behaviors
  • 8-directional (currently prototype) player sprites

I've been busy at work lately designing the clock and period systems, and am now happy to report that an entire game from start to finish is possible.  Comments and suggestions are completely welcome and encouraged! I hope to get a very basic demo out in the upcoming weeks to get some player feedback. In the meantime, I'm about to take on the daunting task of getting some sprites in the game to replace the prototype ones. I look forward to keeping all updated here in this thread.

Check out a gameplay video below of unedited footage of an entire (3 minute period) game, in which the poor AI (who is not usually that terrible) gets steamrolled.

Thanks for checking it out!

I thought you might like to see your sprites in action! They are placeholders until I can make the art, but they've done perfectly! Thanks for making them. 


Haha yes, that's a great point. Thank you.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Thanks for pointing that out! I'll check out the logic in it. That was a system that just "magically worked" the first time around, and as we all know, when something sounds too good to be true...

This is great. I love the little bits of visual feedback. Amazing what a difference that can make in the game's feel. Nice!

This is awesome looking! I'm at work on lunch but I will download it and play it later on computer for sure. I used to drive the Zamboni and always wanted to make a "realistic" simulation of one with the blade and water levels and everything, so of course this instantly caught my attention. Can't wait to check it out.

Cute! Nice animations. I'm awful at platformers so I didn't make it super far, but well done!

Pretty good idea that could definitely be expanded on to make some cool puzzles if you want to make it into a larger project. Only suggestion as is is to make a little more contrast between the background and the brown platforms. I have a privacy screen and am in a relatively sunny room and I had to get face to face with it haha. Nice job!

This one caught me off guard! Cool little game and bumping music. I wasn't always sure whether I was hitting or doing anything to the spiders (spoilers!) when throwing stuff at them, but it was charming. Nicely done.

Pretty cute little game of collecting and avoidance! Took me a sec to realize to press enter, but after that we were good to go. I really like the presentation and art style...looks crisp!

Thanks, I appreciate it. Yeah, that song has been stuck in my head for a while now. Putting it in here was my attempt at excorcising it from my brain. 

The plan hasn't worked yet, and in retrospect was an awful idea for achieving that goal 🤔. 

"I know how I'll forget this song... I'll listen to it 70 more times this weekend."

Cheers!

Thanks! I'm very relieved the art came off as at the very least passable. It was an "I'll deal with that later" problem until it became an, "Oh I need to deal with this NOW" problem lol. 

Thanks! I appreciate it, especially about the art, because that is not my forte! Good point about the volume...I didn't even consider that! 

Dang man RIP. :( 

This one is really nice looking and clever. I really like the style of it and the gravity system. Nice job!

No problem, thanks!

Thanks for making this. I got the pack, looks great. Do you happen to know if there are north/south shooting sprites? I Only see SE/E/NE/NW/W/SW. Just wondering. Thanks!

Just looking at the screenshots makes my forehead sweat.

Edit: Jokes on you, I added a decimal function (and fixed a few bugs).

Edit: This game has been updated to increase font legibility, as requested. 

Love Classic Rock? Love math? Hate sanity? Remember Aerosmith? 

Introducing "The Steven Tyler Calculator", a simple browser based calculator that includes over 50 ear-shattering (not in a good way) vocalizations of Aerosmith's frontman Steven Tyler when a button is pressed. 

Whether you're a math-enthusiast unfamiliar with the massive rock group Aerosmith and looking for an introduction, or you're a fan of the band and looking for a justified exit, this is the calculator for you. This is a fully functional calculator that can be used to do simple math.*

So, tie a miniature scarf around your pencil and let's do some homework. 

*(Note: There is no decimal input option, so just like the rest of the application, the calculator's functionality is "pointless")

Testimonials:

"I don't get it. " - My mom

"You didn't install that thing on my phone, right?" - My wife after I used her iPhone for mobile browser testing. 

TL;DR: This is a typing game with global leaderboards about trying to redeem as many gift cards as possible before one reaches the scammer in the center of the screen, ending the round.

Fluff:

Hello all,

This is a fan-made game inspired by the YouTuber Kitboga, who has humorous engagements with scammers on the phone. One of the more popular scams is one where they make people buy gift cards and then give them the codes off of the back of the cards. One of Kitboga's more popular "games" is to act like he has the gift cards, but then redeems them himself while the scammer watches on a shared computer scream and freaks out. Thus, the inspiration.

The point of the game is to redeem as many gift cards as possible before before they reach the center of the screen. This is a short typing game playable in web browser, and only takes a minute or two to play each round. It is only available for computers (sorry mobile users). There are also global leaderboards. 

Anyway, I know that this is a niche game, but I always like to have as many people play my games as possible.

All the best,

Thanks for the input! Hopefully someday I'll get back around to expanding this one.

Thanks for checking it out! I haven't touched the game in months but I'm actually planning to optimize it a bit for a mobile release and during that timeframe I plan on fixing some bugs and doing SOMETHING about that dialogue scene. Thanks for the feedback and I agree...it's kind of a mess. Anyway, I'll check out the video when I have a moment! 

Best,

Andy

Thanks for the kind words, appreciated!

Between the Lines is a brief point-and-click adventure game a la the old LucasArts and Sierra games of the 90s. You play as a question mark in a WWII-esque setting in the midst of a war between Letters and Numbers.

This game's Android port was recently featured on droidgamers.com's Best New Android Games This Week article from Oct 5th.

This game was originally created for the $106 Game Jam on itch.io. Due to the two week time limit (as well as work and children), I couldn't create the entire story as I would have liked, but instead made a prologue (see: "playable demo") to a much longer adventure game that I am continuing to work on. 

Between the Lines sees the main character, a punctuation mark, stuck in the middle of a struggle between the Commonwealth of Letters and the Confederation of the Nine. Being an outsider as a punctuation mark, the main character must try to find their place in  a strange world in which letters and numbers are struggling for supremacy.

The game in general is pretty short. In fact, if you knew exactly what to do, you could probably speed-run it in less than five minutes. But, if you're interested in speaking to all of the characters and learning about the lore, it should give you a decent chunk of experience.

Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks for the review and kind words! Will check it out after work.

Thanks man, appreciate it! 

Thanks for the kind words! I'm still going to work on it so hopefully down the road we'll see how this thing pans out.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a ton for playing. I plan to keep working on it. :

Awesome!

Yeah, that's exactly how I built the Mac release. With both supported in the build. Hmm. 

Hello. I think I might need a little more info on this. Are you receiving error messages? I'm not certain why this build wouldn't work on your system, but I'm sure it's something I'm doing.

I don't know much about Macs, but there aren't any build options that I see that would specify a chip or anything.

I'll check it out when I get a sec. I've never built for Mac and I don't own one so might be a bit of trial and error.

A MacOS version is now available for download.

Best, -Andy

Hello. Let me get on in a little bit and make a Mac build. 

This is awesome! Thanks for the playthrough. I apologize for the leaderboards not working.... They were working throughout testing with the actual game build, but I'm guessing it's an HTML5 thing. I'll look into it!

The leaderboards are still wide-open for the taking! Playable in browser.
