Another short game.
It didn't turn out to be as good as I expected though. It's more of a picture viewer than a game...
(It's audio-less by the way)

Screenshots:




Notice: There are images in the game that may considered 'perverted' and/or 'too emotional'. If you think you find any of them offensive, I recommend not playing it.
Even so, no nudity, blood/gore, sex related, and violence are shown in the entire game.

Download links:
MediaFire
Sendspace

Gameplay:
-Put your mouse over the black circles to turn them white.
-Click a circle to remove.
-There are 9 layers of circles in total.

Softwares used:
Adobe Photoshop
DarkBASIC Professional
Gamecrypt (plugin)

Video

a few times through and the visuals are great, as expected. i love the mouse trails, explosions and other "particle" effects that i couldn't begin to pull off myself the rotating circles were interesting and, frankly, inspiring from a wannabe programmer perspective. namely, it gave me an idea how a "pick sprite" (and pick object) functionality could be effected without the performance hit inherent to the native db pro command (and past attempts to create a pick sprite command), so thanks for that

good stuff, as always, mike. thanks for sharing!

add: quick question for you - my desktop runs 1680x1050 yet Why plays at 800x600. i see 1280x1024 graphics available (and larger, but this would fit in a window on my desktop, so...) and i'm wondering Why?

@Virtual Nomad: Thanks... I wanted to save up space and shorten loading time, so I went with 800x600...

Mike I'd say your the best artist TGC has on it's forum. Even though you like the more inappropriate side of art...

Still looks great!

@Darth Vader: Thank you, but I have to quite disagree... If I remember right, there's a member here who got in place in the Dominance War IV...

That was Jon Fletcher, but he doesn't count, because we're pretty sure he's not human.

Anyways the game was very cool, though a bit hard to understand at first. Nice job.

i like orange

I have effectively no idea whats going on in that game but I still think its really awesome. Probable the most visually interesting and impressive DarkBasic game (or possibly any game in general) I have ever seen.

Hi Mike Inel,

I really like the art-style, especially the colouring of your pictures, the effects are very elaborate and fit the style. I find a little bit of music, even if only a gentle tune in the background could add a lot to the atmosphere and I think atmosphere is what you were going for with this program(?)
To be honest i found the game itself rather boring and what put me off a bit was the ammount of self-advertising. Mike Inel here and Mike Inel there, on every screen you can unlock, in the download-link, your sig and the image you posted first.
I'm probably exaggerating but i think a simple splash-screen before the game would have been enough to tell everyone who created this program and the art related to it. I don't want to offend you, it's just my humble opinion and as i said before, i really like your style
