| nice, a litle twist of Lemmings :). I like everything except that you used grey's sfx. not that I don't like it that it's gray's. it's just that I studied his code so much tryied, modified and tested that I got tired of hearing it. Other than that, I liked the whole profesional look and feel. by the way, if it's not a bother, make the file name one word plus the extension or use a hyphen/underscore so they can download it directly. the yellow highlite is misleading and I know it's not your fault. |

| nice, a litle twist of Lemmings :). Thanks! that you used grey's sfx I know... its just a placeholder sfx... make the file name one word plus the extension Doh, Ive fixed up the URL (added %20) Thanks for the feedback... |
| ||
| I love these types of games. In fact I was thinking about making one earlier this year but decided against it. Nice Job. |
| ||
| I like it and it plays well, the graphics remind me alot of the 16bit era and Amiga games. What there already feels like its been done well and once you add the stuff on your todo list you will have a very nice game :) |
| ||
| Brilliant. Took me back to the first time I played Lemmings on my Amiga 500. Very well done. |
| ||
| Thanks for the positive feedback games ;) Now just got to finish it.... What did you think of the bomb? Do you think it should explode on contact or did the timer add a more skilled aspect? |
| ||
| This is way cool. I've commented on the framework forum. You are welcome to use the sfx as placeholders (they sound quite good actually) but yeah they should be changed before launched. Good luck with it. |
| ||
| Cute. I did find a bit of a bug: I had two munchies -- one was a blocker, and the other one was walking back and forth between the blocker and a wall. Then when I had the walker throw a bomb, he was able to walk past the blocker guy at the same time, escaping his little back-and-forth track. |
| ||
| I love the look of the munchies... After looking at them here and at Syntaxbomb, the more I look at them, the more I could see myself trying to make some sort of game around them. Look after them therevills, it'll be a shame not too, you've got a good thing there mate! ;) Dabz |
| ||
| @dabhand you know those images are a gift to the community I think by kRUZe he posted a link in the graphics comunity, but the link is broken now. I have them in my archives some where. *EDIT* you can download them from here: http://www.spicypixel.net/2008/01/10 |
| ||
| Oh, thanks Jesse... Top stuff! :) I'll just put them to one-side though, dont wanna take therevills thunder! :) Dabz |
| ||
| Thanks for the comments guys! Its funny, I was working on another game and the artist, Marc, emailed me as I had made a platformer demo with these graphics, asking me if I had done anything else with them and I just started messing around with them again, thinking on the same lines as you Dabz that it would be cool making a game around them, so after a couple of months... The Munchies appeared :) Thanks for the bug report xlsior! |
| ||
| Maybe some keyboard shortcuts would be useful to be able to use the actions faster without using the mouse back and forth to the action bars. F-keys spring to mind. |
| ||
| Very Very cool. Thx ;) JP |
| ||
| @gosse - yep shortcut keys are going to be included - maybe even user-defined;-) Havent done much work on this for a week - been to busy at work (coder by day, so when I get home my motivation is a bit lacking - then I see my BFG royalty payment for the month and kick myself into action) |
| ||
| hey..i just saw this! I have a game prototype (not done in bmax) using this same image set. Mine is more of a generic platformer, but it's fun to see this tile/sprite set used in so many cool ideas. |
| ||
| Hey Guys! Heres an updated verison of The Munchies: http://therevills.syntaxbomb.com/Demos/The_Munchies_July.zip Added: *20 Levels in total *9 Actions (+4 others - Reset/Nomal Speed/Fast Forward/Slow Mo) *Data is saved (options/level etc) *Locked actions *Options Screen w/ Credits Screen *Achievement Screen (not finished) *3 Play Modes -Casual - Unlimited No. of Actions and no Time Limit -Normal - Limited No. of Actions and no Time Limit -Hard - Limited No. of Actions and a Time Limit (some levels have not got a Time Limit set, so you lose straight away! ) Some of the later levels are a bit sparse... If you've played the game before, delete the "The Revills Games/The Munchies" folder from your Application Data (XP) or ProgramData (Vista/7). Let us know what you think Thanks!  |
| ||
| Added keyboard shortcuts too (1-9)... |
| ||
| I just noticed you updated this. The new loading/title/achievement screens look really great but unfortunately they now make the in-game graphics look bad. Are you planning to upgrade them as well? I can't get passed the grog level so I can't comment on the rest of the game but the tutorial levels seem a bit redundant. I think you could combine them into half as many levels. (just my opinion.) How do the keyboard shortcuts work? I naively pressed the 1-9 keys and nothing happens. |
| ||
| in-game graphics look bad. In what way? but the tutorial levels seem a bit redundant Maybe I went over board with them... Its meant to be a casual game, but thought at times it was complex and needed the tutorials... I naively pressed the 1-9 keys and nothing happens. Are the actions enabled? On the screen shot above, you see only the first and third actions are enabled and you should be able to select them by pressing 1 and 3, but 2 and 4-9 shouldn't work... |
| ||
| In what way? I think it's the background image that spoils it. Are the actions enabled? Yes, at the level that I'm at now the first 4 actions are enabled but pressing the number keys doesn't select them. I tried the number pad keys as well and nothing. I have a Microsoft natural keyboard 4000. |
| ||
| Which download link did you get? If you got the July one, did you recently get it (I updated last night - 12 hours ago)? |
| ||
| I re-downloaded it and the keys work. I guess I had the older version. Sorry about that. :) |
| ||
| I guess I had the older version. Cool... thought I messed up there. :) Sorry about that. :) NP |
| ||
| Good to see a well done 2d puzzle game like this. |
| ||
| Help! I need a new name for this game... any suggestions? |
| ||

| ||
| The Crunchies. |
| ||

| ||
| Lead Your People |
| ||
| Two eyed walking Purple People Leaders (with a hue change) |
| ||
| Prarie Dog Exit Challenge? LOL |
| ||
| how about "Goobers" or "Exodus" |
| ||
| how about "Goobers" haha i was thinking the same thing the other day. Goobers: in the quest of chocalot in that sorta fashion, then if the game did well enough he could do more. Goobers: <insert cheezy tile here> think along the lines of Indiana Jones and the.......... |
| ||
| Just don't call it Galactic Goobers lol |
| ||
| Thanks for the suggestions guys... I hate making up names, they either dont suit or just totally stupid... I like the subtitle idea KingNothing... and its funny you mentioned chocalot... (did I mention this at some stage? Cant remember - must be getting old....) |
| ||
| You mentioned chocolat over at BlitzMonkeys. He may have read it there. By the way, is it spelled chocolat in Australia? We spell it chocolate (with an E on the end in the US). |

| You mentioned chocolat over at BlitzMonkeys. He may have read it there. yep i knew i saw it mentioned somewhere. By the way, is it spelled chocolat in Australia? We spell it chocolate (with an E on the end in the US). my bad, got ahead of myself and forgot the 'e' plus i was picturing in my head, the subtitle being pronounced with a bad french accent to go with the cheezy title theme. and pronounced it 'shock-o-lot' if that makes any sence ;-) |
| ||
| Im actually English living in Oz.... They (The Aussies) spell it with the 'E' (like the English/US). I thought KingNothing was doing a play on the word - choc-alot instead of chocolate... lol |
