I don't know what I would do with my time, should these forums die...hmmm...maybe play some of those games I have downloaded?? :P Thanks for all you do. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6103#post-63464 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 23:01:56 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 63464@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks rO.</p> <p>I've had Botonoid for a few years now. Not the best by all means, but it's okay for a short knock around, (I'm probably too fussy over my favorite arcade genre, having collected hundreds of arkanoids over the past decade). Apart from the odd space shooter, arkanoids were about the only arcade games I'd buy; {though I also bought other arcade games like Gish and Gutterball} until the game giveaway opened my eyes to loads of other genres; that's why I'm rather critical of most free arkanoids)</p> <p>It looks like there's no game giveaway again over the weekend (<em>assumption because i've not been notified</em>), so I'll post Sundays freeware game again (<em>I've already got it ready for posting, lol</em>). </p> <p>Thanks for your continued help with this project rO; you and Wizzard have been invaluable over the last several months (<em>I'd probably ave packed in by now if you hadn't offered to help</em>). G@rgoyle (<em>also a big thank you to you</em>)has said there are now around 1600 games posted in the games Synopsis. I reckon there are not may places were you'll find such a great resource for free games. Every game having been tested by us and selected for its game play.</p> <p>Don't get disheartened by the lack of comments. I'm sure there are loads of community mebers grateful for the games we find.</p> <p>I'm looking ofrwards to seeing what you have in store for us tomorrow. :)</p> <p>WR </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6103#post-63441 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:15:41 +0000 reverseOrder 63441@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Here are two games by the same guy. Botonoid is a great arkanoid clone where you control a boat in the ocean. La Guerra Esosa is an average space invaders clone. I should also mention the arkanoid clone called Furiod by ozzyyzzo who posted it <a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2607/page/3#post-63357">here</a>, in case you missed it (the site was hacked a while ago but it's fixed now). My scanners didn't find any viruses or malware.</p> <p>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Botonoid</strong></p> <p>Botonoid is an arkanoid clone where you control an aircraft carrier in the ocean. Destroy all the bricks while making sure the command module doesn't fall into the water to complete each level. There are seagulls that can drop bird droppings on your ship, and you can hit them so they fall on your ship causing blood splatters. But it doesn't seem to do anything other than make a mess on the deck of your ship. There are several powerups and many levels. </p> <p>Controls:<br /> Use mouse to move pad.<br /> Use space or left mouse to shoot.<br /> Use P to pause game.<br /> Use F2 to record your game (while playing).<br /> BEWARE: this features creates a HUGE quantity of data. Use it at your own risk.<br /> Use F11 to get a screenshot.<br /> Use ESC to return to main menu. </p> <p>Powerups:<br /> Light Green - Increase boat size<br /> Brown - Decrease boat size<br /> Light Purple - Adds guns<br /> Blue - Double ball<br /> Navy Blue - Temporary adds fog<br /> Dark Purple - Clears blood/bird droppings from boat... :)<br /> Yellow - Increases ball speed<br /> Green - Random</p> <p>Download (1.94 MB):<br /> <a href="http://www.bottomap.com/Software/BN/BN.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bottomap.com/Software/BN/BN.html</a></p> <p>Alternative Downloads:<br /> <a href="http://www.demonews.com/download-3284.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.demonews.com/download-3284.html</a><br /> <a href="http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f956.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f956.html</a></p> <p>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>La Guerra Esosa</strong></p> <p>La Guerra Esosa is a simple and very repetitive space invaders clone. You drive a car and use a laser to shoot random people. Your laser gun has a powerbar that decreases when you shoot, when it's empty you can't fire as quickly. There are no powerups or upgrades so it quicky gets boring. There are three types of enemies (+ one "ufo" type enemy) but they all behave the same way and take one hit to kill. After a while they start moving in random patterns. This game has infinite levels and there is no real point except to obtain a high score. Thanks to the Caiman link, if you set the clock to December 25th one of the guys gets a santa hat as a small surprise.</p> <p>Controls:<br /> Use Arrow keys,mouse or joystick to move around.<br /> Use space, left mouse or joystick button 1 to shoot.<br /> Use +/- to change volume.<br /> Use P to pause game.<br /> Use F12 to get a screenshot.<br /> Use ESC to return to main menu.</p> <p>Download (4.84 MB):<br /> <a href="http://www.bottomap.com/Software/LGE/LGE.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.bottomap.com/Software/LGE/LGE.htm</a></p> <p>Alternative Downloads:<br /> <a href="http://www.demonews.com/download-3285.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.demonews.com/download-3285.html</a><br /> <a href="http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f1763.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f1763.html</a> </p>
