Actually that's me coming in on my Hoover Board :)

.... along with 3 intrepid knights of the round table :)

Hello Ladida

Very nice, Bplus! love the shimmering sun :)

Thanks!

Do you have the image before you printed on it?

Yes.

Haha, it wasn’t a screenshot, bplus. I edited the image with an image editor and inserted the text (using Steve’s Olde English Font). Getting the image onto the screen in the QB64 program, which should be fairly trivial, is my problem. Need to study QB64 commands more assiduously. Thanks Steve for the fonts tutorial. :)

Color usually good, how about different fonts overlaying a screen image of the land of la-di-da :) or image of that mean old and nasty Sphinx. ;-))

haha.....good suggestions bplus, thanks! wanted to do text-only to save time but of course images can be added :)

Thanks everyone for your comments on my game!

I've added the following as a result of the comments:
1. Color
2. Music
3. More hints

Windows build and source code attached.  

I didn't finish on time for this one and probably would have less time in the future so I don't know if I'd be able to participate, but it's a fun experience if you have the time for it. Would be a good idea to announce directly from the main QB64 twitter account before it starts, maybe.

Anyways, after getting some sleep I was able to fix the problem I had compiling, so I attached my game here.

It's a simple side scrolling action game where you can make use of a antigravity shot. It tosses everything it touches into the air, so you can use it as a shield, to navigate the screen, etc. As a shield it neutralizes energy fire and causes the bullets to harm enemies instead.

Controls:

Keyboard

esc: exits

left, right : run

up,down: aim gravity shot

x: jump
c: punch
spacebar: gravity shot - first press shoots, second press activates it, third recalls it.

Also works with gamepad

On my gamepad, A jumps, X punches and Y is the gravity shot, but I didn't have time to set up any kind of option to configure controls

Great looking game...@Gets, a pity you couldn't compile it in time. Superb graphics, sound effects, music, use of gravity.
Like HoverBoy, I think the game will be more exciting if the player gained points for killing monsters or progressing to next levels. :)

Nice!

I would definitely be up for another one.

Brian ...

Me too.
