Smurf Rescue (New Amiga Game)

[hipoonios]

My second game is released! Smurf Rescue! A platform game for your Amiga!

You play as Smurfette and your mission is to save all the other Smurfs.

Yep, this is my own version of the game and has nothing to do with Smurf Rescue on other systems. The game uses graphics from Lollypop and most of the sprites are from The Smurf on Sega Mega Drive/Game Gear. The game also has lots of samples. All ripped from the Smurf movie from 2011 (voice: Katy Perry).

The downside is that this is (just as my first game) made with Backbone. That means, the game is incredible slow even on fast Amigas. But it's very playable with (Win)UAE if you use these settings:

A1200, CPU: 68030, 4 MB Fast RAM, Fastest Possible and no Cycle Exact.

Any chance you could change the font you use on your website ?  It's nigh on unreadable!
Screen shots look good though :-)

Watched part of the longplay, didn't want to spoil it too much though. Looks fun, hope it's playable on my A2000, why is Backbone sooo slow?

That looks really good!

Nice work on that game.

Nice Job, congratulations!

Looks really Nice!

P.S. I have a slight problem playing it on my NTSC A1200. The bottom screen is not visible and thus preventing me from seeing the danger areas.
Is this game made for PAL Amigas only?
Can you set the PANEL to the bottom instead the TOP, that would solve the problem.
Thanks

Boot in PAL mode via early startup?

I am installing this on my A2000 right now - we'll see how it goes......

Yes, I did that, my Workbench then can be set to Hi Res PAL and I can verify that by switching to Composite video (the video is in BW, so I know it's PAL)
BUT, when I start the game it changes the screen to NTSC (the composite video is in color now) and I can't see the bottom.

I did try to adjust the OVERSCAN preferences by shifting the screen UP, but the game is not using it and shifts the screen down anyway.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I wondered why I got a warning from BB that saying the game and panel is too big together! It looks better to have it above the game. So i don't really want to change it. I will think of NTSC users next time

However, I have compiled a new version for NTSC with the panel below the game. So now you at least see the ground. But the panel seem does not display at all (only tested with WinUAE). O well, you can try it if you want:

Many people complain they can't read the text on the site. I have no problem with that. Tested with latest versions of Chrome, FF and IE. Can someone provide a screenshot?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Huh, the font looks different now.  Did you change it?  On my computer at home it looks normal in Firefox, but too tall and skinny in IE.  However on a different PC when I checked it a few days ago it was some nigh-unreadable cursive script.

Keep up the good work!! Thanks for creating this game. :cool:

Tried it on my A600HD with 030/25 and 64MB RAM, and it runs ok.  Need to switch to pal to run it correctly.  I just used a small prg called "pal" and I put it in c: and edited the script to run it first and it works fine when I start the game.  When it gets busy on screen, it does slow down a bit much, but other than that, nice game!

I can see the ground now! Yes! (I can't see the panel on the bottom at all, but that's fine.

One more thing, I think the inertia (when you stop, but keep sliding) is too much, makes precision jumps awkward.

Looks nice, looks like you put alot of effort making the game.
