Please tell me you have this on somewhere other than Mediafire, as well; even Dropbox would be preferable. >.<

Thanks for reminding me that I had a 50 gig DB :I I added a link to the desc

That was pretty awesome, i like the concept to :3 hope to see more updates on this soon.
Gotta learn how to make these little games myself x3

This is so cool. I really like this. I really admire people who have the know-how and the actual motivation to make video games.

that was a fun game ^_^

That was a nice demo, gameplay was spot on. Really interested to see how this game will evolve. :)

OK, I have a few things to say about this game:
Pros:
Awesome Music!
Responsive controls (Essential for platformers)
Good game so far

Cons (Including bugs)
(Suggestion) No female character. Maybe make as an unlockable?
(Build Issue, maybe bug) MASSIVE CPU hog. This was taking a good 45 to 55% of my CPU!
(Bug) Invincible though you might not have put in a "death" yet
(Bug) If weight reaches max and then you get slimed again, the game flashes the "knocked out on back" sprite then freezes the character in place. Even if all the weight is removed, you still can't move.
(Build Issue/ Suggestion) No reset or menu button, but I assume you just haven't built that yet.
(Build Issue) R seems to throw away my gun... Is this intentional or what?

Sorry for all the negatives but I hope that they will help you make the game better and I hope you will continue to upload links to the game in progress here on FA! Oh, and if you want a play-tester and debugger, I can help with that! Just note me and I will see what I can break!

Actually all this seems like a very good feedback for the project he's building. I had the flashing sprite issue also. But it's a very good start on the game.

Just found another bug: If you are increasing his weight and you go off a ledge while still increasing his weight, he stays in the air until you stop increasing the weight.

Also an update on the "flashing sprite" bug: As long as you are still holding down a or d when you get slimed, you will be able to knocked out sprite which will do its fall over animation at every weight "milestone" until you the weight bar hits the end, then it will loop every 12 to 15 seconds.

Oh yes. most of those just haven't been put in. The R key is actually a test key as well just to un-equip. I know why it takes up a lot of memory, I'm putting in a inactivity switch for objects that are out of view. Right now its running the whole scene at once.

As for the Knocked out sprite, that is an accident I forgot to remove :I I changed my mind about weight being the game pass/fail and I forgot to take that out.

I caught another bug, after I force a max weight gain on the character. If I eat more slime monsters, the character just freezes. Still, I like the concept of the game and I hope this may turn into a good project ^w^

wait, How do you 'Force' max weight gain?

left and right keys

Oh right, Thanks. c:

Cool! Though I recommend bursting out of his uniform as a slight blob at max weight :3

^^ THIS :3

:D

I am going to make a max weight sprite; When at max weight, mobility will be reduced to 0, and the player will have to wait some time before being able to move again.

I'm not sure if "thirded" is a word, but yes!

I'm just going to point out the issues since that's what I do best (Did enjoy the concept though)

Wasn't sure of the need for the installer since most gamemaker games tend to work fine from just the executable but that's a general preference.
Try moving where the view camera is positioned at to above the player, most of the time you'll be jumping up anyway plus should help the tutorial text not get in the way of the player.
I'm able to get stuck near corner ledges though I suspect this is because your using the frame of the animation to detect the collisions, you can fix this by manually setting them to be the exact same size, or using an invisible box sprite for the collision and put the player at the position of the box(This would also make sure that gun stays at the same position as the player if linked to the box as well), or by scripting your own system.
I generally felt the gravity to be slightly high, you can change the jump power to keep the heights the same but it felt like the character was under extreme gravity (Its up to you mainly).

Game Maker: Studio creates an installer for its executable; I don't know if there is another way to do it, but I think its for management purposes. For the next version I'll just zip up the install directory and give people a link to that if it's an issue.

As for the getting stuck, I actually tried using an invisible box but it looked really awkward. Even at 60steps per sec, having the player/arm adjust their position to the position of the box is still slightly odd looking, and it messes with how i change my sprites :I
I did manually set all of the collision boxes, though. It's weird because they all are the same, but for some reason some sprites like to hatch onto the inside of the box. I think what i'll do is set the barrier that stops you from moving a couple pixels wider to stop the player from rubbing all the way up against the ground

Very nice work!! ^.^

It's fun, original, and the music is awesome!
One note: it takes a frustratingly long time to walk off the weight.

Is there a download for mac?

unfortunately the engine wont let me export to mac unless I'm on a mac :I pretty lame. I am trying to get html5 working through so it can be played on a browser. I think that should work.

Yaaaaay! Note me when its up

Its a good start

Might wanna add in an opton to duck or make the ceiling a bit higher. At the end with the spider, the only way to avoid it's shots that I found was to keep running back. Also you might wanna make it so that the character faces the cursor. It looked a bit akward when his arm was out behind him holding the gun, though that brings in the whole headache of having to make him walk backwards... :T

lookin' great =3 can't wait to see more X3

I'd recommend maybe making there be some kind of powerup that loses weight: I know it sounds a little counterproductive, but in a game like this it can just be tedious to run back and forth so you can make a jump. :3

Yes, I have begun to balance that a lot more. For one, I'm more lenient on the jumping and made it follow more guidelines. No weight=3 block jump height, 1 weight=2, 2 weight=1 and so on. I don't want to make the lose-over-time any greater because to me it seems too fast already so I am going to include stations for that like I did in the first one.

btw some of the animations don't play, such as if the weight gets "Over" or the HP hits "0"

there is no death yet and no max weight yet. I recently put those in and itll be in the next update

ok

Also, I think some of the sprites could use more "action" to them, like when Science dog gets so full that he faints. Whne I did manage to "Glitch" it to where the overweight faint animation plays, it's just 3 little pictures.

Sparkle stuff is always the last stuff that gets done with this. Making it functional is far more important than how many frames the animation is right now.

ok just thought I'd say X3

Is the first version still available anywhere?

I might be able to find it. if i do ill put a link on this submission description

cool

any luck finding it?

How is the update going?

when is teh full game?

It works in Wine... But I hear you can export it for Linux directly with the later versions of GM... This would help as the game gets bigger and more complex.

xD This game is so cool! I can't wait for the full game!

Could you give me your gamemaker project please?

Possibly, if I can even find it ;P What would you like it for?

add enemies, fixing some bugs and, co op mode

i dunno

updates about this games? :/

I've been too busy with a game for my small company to work on my own lately, but i'll get back to them eventually

any progress on this?
