I would not have expected to like "open movemnent" Qix, but I do. :)

[Escape the Obstacles!]

Someone got the pixel day memo. Nice thicc pixels.

[TANKéMON TCG]

Note to self: steal this. Really. This is cute idea for a gallery and the execution is super fun.

[Pixel Paintdown]

Super slick! Super sick!

[PINSKI]

Really fun idea and great execution. I'd love to see you do something bigger with it, but it's a great little game as is.

[Wanted!]

Super polished and way more fun than it should have any right to be.

[Madness Combat: 1982]

Damn. This made my day. Does just enough and the controls are tight (at least on VICE). With the laser beans there's just enough challenge. I can totally have seen myself loading this from a PD disk passed to me without a label or downloaded off a BBS.

I really love your having an official music recommendation and it's slick how you integrated it into the web version. I loaded it up to loop on VLC for the complete experience.

One thing I would recommend is including a README in the zip confirming you should load and jump to the .bin directly at $8000. I know that's the standard, but I still had to guess. Obviously, a self loading d64 would be even better. Also, the README definitely needs to include the keyboard controls. I assume they are strange to work with the embedded web emulator, but for me they were something bizarre like 1,2,END, and CTRL.

I really appreciate your bringing this to NG. This is awesome!

siddikinz responds:

Thanks! I totally forgot to include a README with the zip file, but I'll be sure to add one now. I'll also include a self loading disk image like you suggested!

EDIT: The zip file now includes a README and a self loading disk image!

[I'm Not a Doll]

Sure there's a couple of bugs with the hotspots and sizing and I do miss the visceral aspect of being able to actually drag and drop the clothes, but it's all more than made up for by the theming and having an actual goal. It's a nice little take on doing something more with the toy format. I like it!

[edit/reply1] So the black and white striped "Beetlejuice" blouse seems to become unclickable when you're wearing certain tops. You have to switch to a different top and then you can click it. Could be a matter of just a small area to click on I'm not sure.

Thetageist responds:

You’re the second person to suggest adding drag and drop. I think I’m going to look into figuring out how to do that in Game Maker. Biggest question is probably going to be how to make it work both ways, so that it isn’t confusing for people who play these either way.

(Also, what hotspots are you referring to, am I missing a bug?)

[UFSMagica Quest]

Pretty good walking demo.
