Civgame: playtesters wanted

[Pedro]

I hope I won't disappoint you guys too much, cause this won't involve playtesting a real civilization game, but nonetheless i need some playtesters and some feedback for a game I just made in Macromedia Flash. If you have Flash installed on your computer it should display right under this message and you can start playing immediately.
It's a simple shooter game. Basically you have to click the fanatics and the pikeman to score points and avoid the nuclears, cause they'll decrease your score and increase unhapiness. After 3 citizens have beacome unhappy, the game will fall into disorder and it's game over. It's still very basic, and that's why I'd like some feedback on this game. Maybe you have some good suggestions for the game, some additions, improvements whatever: I'd like to hear about them!!! So I suggets you start playing a bit now. If you like it you can post your highscore too, but please don't spam the thread with oneliners. If the game hasn't finished loaded yet, it will be loaded very soon as it only requires a meager 30kb.

Greetings,
Pedro!

One clarification: you have to click in the game window the first time you start to play to activate the game. So first click the window and then press the space bar to start the game.
Enjoy!

Very cool!!!

I got 266. When you hit a nuke...the pollution should go over more squares....like in Civ 2 game. When it got really fast, it was hard to know if I hit a nuke or not.

But cool. <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/goodwork.gif" border=0>

EDIT: OH MY GOD THE SPELLING!!!! THE SPELLING!!!!!

I beat you, CornMaster! I got 287!

It's a funny game, Pedro. Indeed:

Though I still prefer Civ2 itself.

LOL!!!!

You probably sat here for hours after my post trying to beat me.

And I even wasted my first turn to see what the nuke did.

Hmmm, I got a -22. The things to shoot at flash by super fast, like 15 per second.

OOOh, yeah!

Suggestion: Don't make the final score editable =)
Hmm, real suggestions: maybe make a time limit too that will count down to a stealth bomber attacking so you can't just sit your cursor in the middle and just hit the guys that appear there so you don't have to risk moving your mouse to hit something and having it disappear and a nuke take it's place.
Also, maybe getting a bonus for hitting 3 or more guys in a row without missing.
Maybe have an SDI powerup that lets you hit nukes with dying for 10 seconds.
But I think a time limit is most important.

 

[penvzila]

Whoa! I didnt know the final score was editable!

 

[Ecco]

Tis a very nice game indeed, i personnaly liked it. Maybe one day there will be a DukeNukemCiv Version, where you could go around shootin marines and riflemen...

By the way, I just got 537. (Trust me.

)

And Pedro, I think you can remove the -10 points for nukes. Eventually everyone will have 30 penalty points, because every has clicked on a nuke three times, so what's the point then?

nice... i got 480 and my mouse covered with the sweat of my hand,... now it's time to add something new... more units that appear at the same time, a set of diplomatic rules in case u hit a nuclear but u dont want it to explode and some trade and cultural influence of the arrow of the mouse

[Pedro]

Thanks for the usefull feedback. I'm working on the timer, as well as the metnioned power-ups. For now I've only made the final score uneditable, so that no-one can play tricks anymore (eh Matrix? <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/wink.gif" border=0>)
Please keep providing me with ideas, so that on day this game indeed can become addictive!

edit: if the game hasn't changed (i.e. the final score is still editable), remove the file civgame_v1b.swf from you temporary internet files directory (c:\windows\temporary internet files)

Hey! I can't play here (not at home), because when I press the spacebar, I scroll down.

And you just hold on, PaleHorse76...
