Fun! Fun! Super Fun Bee Assault Party! - A RetroforceGO! Game
Sonic9jct | 9:59 AM on 08.01.2009 19 comments


Greetings, readers! I'm here to present to the Destructoid community my small game, Fun! Fun! Super Fun Bee Assault Party!, a game I made in honor of Topher Cantler and RetroforceGO! It's a small project I made using Game Maker and is distributed through the fantastic game development group Gamma Prime (of which I am apart of).



The premise of the game is simple; This is a shoot-em-up (or cute-em-up?) in which you play as a little bee. You must fight your way through the stage through an onslaught of enemies, the dreaded Slurpee. If you are skilled enough to make your way through, you can fight the final boss, the most evil and vile enemy of all...



Like I said, I made the game in Game Maker and the idea was inspired by Topher's scale for rating XBLA games. This was also an exercise for me in which I handdrew all of the sprites in a game. I really like the way it came out and I look forward to doing more games in this style. This is also the last game I'll probably make in Game Maker, as FFSFBAP pushed the program to it's limits. Please let me know what you guys think of the game, and if you have any, leave some constructive criticism. And as long as you're checking out the game that I have created, check out the other games that my colleagues in game design have also created, they are all fantastic games
that deserve your attention.

DOWNLOAD THE GAME HERE.

Enjoy. :)

UPDATE: The link should work now.

It's a shmup and therefore Topher likes it.

Which by proxy, means I like it.

I thought it was the Intellivoice.

It's supposed to be Double Dribble speak, but I had to use an Atari filter in Garageband to do it.

Great job! I really liked the game, especially the double dribble speak and the bee sprite. Cute :3

The only thing that I though was annoying was how the bullets wouldn't stay in a straight line and would go diagonally. But I do need more of this, perhaps a sequel in the future?

I just assumed it was double dribble speak since he said it was for RetroforceGO. It does sound like the Intellivoice though.

Haha, I'd planned on doing one of these and I think I still may... but I'm flattered to see my little bee getting some mileage.

Why is the download link 404ing for me?

Also, I've heard of gamma prime before I joined distructoid. Cool to hear you are a part of that.

Ack! Since our redesign a week or two ago, that URL changed! But I got it working now. And if that doesn't work, the link should be right here. http://www.gammaprimegames.com/main/index.php?page=fun-fun-super-fun-bee-assault-party
