Topic, Game "Hog Pop"

  would you also like to test push???

  I will like to be a tester to if i can.

  hi! .. i just read that there ist a new game .. or even two :> ... maby some1 can add me to testers =)?

  MORE SUGGESTIONS:

1-no pop bubbles, with some sort of graphical difference, such as a pink border, to allow you to warp between two boxes continuously or require avoid a skull multiple times, there could also be switches to make them poppable, so you have to pop each bubble in order.

2-uh... well... there is no two.

  You could add the color parameter to all bubbles, or at least the skull and star ones.

And regarding invisible lines, there are a lot of things to consider, such as:
- Whether to set an invisible parameter for the curves so they can be constructed more easily. Or to make a new type of line altogether.
- Invisible dead lines? Should they be allowed?
- Invisible lines could be put over background lines, making them non-background, which might make things confusing.

Then again, there are already levels which stack two types of curves together.

  My internet connection is too laggy/buggy to play the games, but I can read some messages.
thx of rthe suggestions.
For the upper limit, I can add it for sure when it's an infinite powerups.

  jp, maybe you need to set an upper limit such that the hog dies when it flies too high while using a float powerup.

[edit] One more thing, is there a visual differentiation for nostick bounce curves?

  SUGGESTIONS:

Sticky break ground-you can't jump while on it, you have to wait for it to break.

Space mode-there is no gravity, you just float in one direction until you hit a wall.

Miniature hogs-smaller versions of you that follow you around on some levels, helping you pop bubbles.

  Okay, it turns out this game is much easier than I thought. It's funny how the difficulty goes down when you realize that you don't have to have the screen sliding around while you're trying to aim.

  Have a nice time jp :-)

  jessiah, you've been added.
As you may ahve noticed, I mae a few changes to the presentation. And now you are notified when the level is in "Rebirth mode". If you find a better expression for "Rebirth mode" let me know.

I will be off (vacations) for 1 or 2 weeks Hope I can check the site from time to time. Asforien is admin and can accept the levels.

  It's still in the testing stage. jp will probably add you as a tester if you want... but actually why not open it up officially already =)

  How Come I can't play Hog Pop?

  It's like Rolling Turtle in the same sense that Breakout is like Space Invaders.

I think that's actually a pretty good description...

  is this a game like RT? or something different?

  Multiplayer games require too much time/servers. While I'm alone on the site dev, you can forget it :)

I've updated the game with a few chagnes :

- unlimited powerup when duration is set to zero
- stick parameter to allow or not the hog to stick on a curve, use only on curves where the hog can escape by sliding.
- the BOUNCE+ type is a little less bouncy.

  Well, I'd personally suggest the private messages of jp or tonypa or someone like that, but since you already posted your message that isn't important.

  Yes :P

  Is that the comment you wanted to post?

  Where do i post comments like: "Would it be possible to make a multiplayer BonusLevel game?"

  Done, now I display the number of remaining bubbles to pop instead of the number of rebirths. Also, when there is no more rebirth, I still display the "1" to show this was a rebirth bubble.

Btw, I've corrected the bug of remaining "WAIT..." that was happening from time to time when completing a level. The correction should apply to every game so let me know if you see it again.

  it's confusing in the tuto, but you get used to it.

  It might be confusing that a bubble with the number 3 on it has to be popped 4 times and not 3, so maybe it would be better to skip the number 1 and label a bubble that respawns once as "2" etc...

  Now i understand what what BonusLevel HomePage is about! :D

  WooHooII, your BonusLevel level was very good even when you don't know it's a screenshot of the homepage.

I don't mind private jokes, but maybe later when the game is released. Levels with private jokes can be accepted but for official levels I prefer neutral levels or private jokes/sequels refering to a previous official level in the same game.

[edit] The reason being also because usually a free version of the game embedding all official levels is released for other websites a few months after it was released here on bonuslevel.

[edit2] Just saw the BonusLevel level by TheNiNJa on HogPop, it's also very good. I can be a good promotion for the site to get new players, designers, so it might be in official levels too.

  Those were advertising, in hog pop it's different :P

  What's wrong with private jokes? You didn't seem to mind my BonusLevel and BLockoban refrences in RT (or burfy's Hitchhiker's Guide refrences).

  Right. :P

  I don't feel that Hog Pop is suit for stories like in RT. As I told in the comments of one level, we must forget RT when designing Hog Pop levels. Most of the Hog Pop players will not know anything about RT, and they will not undertand our private jokes :).

  Trkzgr, i was thinking about something...
Your epic story "Story of a Turtle" is a masterpiece.
I think it would be awesome running a parallel story... "Story of a Hedgehog", describing why the hedgehogs moved to the surface etc.
