[pygame] Natto-Cat
Hello,
Some of you may remember my simple Boulderdash clone, Rockhunt!,
released last year. In the last few months I have completely reworked
it, polished it, added features, and given it a definite personality.
It has become a completely new game... so I've decided to give it a new
name: Natto-Cat. I invite everyone to check it out:
http://www.natto-cat.org
So far only a py2exe Windows binary is available.
The game is now quite unique among Boulderdash clones. When enemies
explode, they splatter blood (or custard) onto surrounding objects.
It's actually a bit violent, and very amusing, if you like that sort of
simple violence. And I know I do. ;) In a cave with many explosions
objects can become coated with gore. By editing a prefs file, the
amount of splatter can be decreased, increased, or even turned off -
since it may not be appropriate for very young children.
There are still a few minor bugs, mostly display issues that probably
only I would notice... hopefully nothing that gets in the way of
gameplay. It uses a lot of CPU, but runs smoothly on my 1.2 GHZ laptop
unless there are extreme multiples of blood/custard giblets flying about.
So far there are 25 caves (with 3 difficulty levels for each) sandwiched
between 6 Boulderdash-style intermissions.
