Can you believe it? Happyman FINISHED something!! That NEVER happens!

I've been working on this game using GM 5.3a for about a month now. It was inspired by the game Jumper (also for GM); a fan site can be found here for this game if you want to learn more or download it.

I warn you before you play this:
This is a very difficult platformer game. While you are probably going to have deaths numbering to perhaps the thousands, remember that there is no death limit, and you can always play on the stage you left off on, so the only penalty for dying is that the level restarts. Even if you become frustrated early on by a tough level, keep trying, because you'll get it eventually!

If you aren't very good at platformers, I still think this game is worth a try.

Please pardon the banners and popups and crap. If you know of a better host that I can use, please let me know.

Here is the download page for Blobbo's Adventure.

Screenshots are on the site if you want to see them. Credits, copyright, and some instructions on using the program are included in the readme file. A program that allows you to create and view replays for this game is also available! I'm planning to make a level editor, but I can't make guarantees.

Have fun! I really hope you guys enjoy playing this as much as I enjoyed making it.

Well, It sound fun. I'm downloading it right now actually. I'll update this post and tell you what I think about it in a little while.

Update: I just finished the forest levels. It's really good so far. It's quite difficult though, that's for sure.

Yay! You finished something. People seemed to like the demos on that forum, so I am definitely going to check this out. I actually have been thinking on doing some stuff in Game Maker, but haven't decided fully yet. Anyway, I look forward to this game. Looks fun, but hard, and that means it's promising.

gah, that's hard! it's fun, though. nice work

[CrystalBlade]

I'm downloading it now. I'll review it later.

[Exate]

I myself will get it later on (must depart soon), looking forward to it, Happy.

Now that you got this done, maybe you can decide to work on that 'ONE' quest, if you can find the time.

[Radien]

Wow, a FINISHED amateur/fan game. Those are in short supply. For that reason alone, I will definitely try it out sometime. Good job getting it done.

Awesome, Happyman. I'm so impressed! ^_^ .. So how many deaths have you accumulated so far? QuestWizard88 have been swapping saves in Jumper 2, (Along with levels we created ourselves.) And we're pwning the game so far. We've already unlocked.. well.. just about everything. I can't wait to get my hands on that level editor of yours. Heehee.. Again, congrats. I can't wait to play this baby.

Oh yes, Jumper 2. I remember seeing the Ogmo image in your sig and him on the Jumper forums. Got 100% (he did too apparently) quite awhile ago.

Anyways... if there's enough demand for it, I'll release an easier version of the game, but I doubt it will go through the whole thing.

DToE told me in real life he had trouble with the final part of 1-4 (first level with walljumping). There's two ways to do this:
- Wall jump from the right wall, then use the slam to get down to the ground immediately.
- Hold right after doing the wall jump from the right wall.
Trying to do a second wall jump off the left wall is impossible; you'll always hit one of the spikes.

Any levels you're stuck on: tell me and I'll do my best to make a replay for you.

[LinktheMaster]

Grrrr! This thing is impossible! I can't get past the second world (the fortress). I can't seem to do the slide jump wall jump. But, this is a very good game. It has also made me want to try out this game maker.

Replay of me completing 2-1. Hope that helps. 2-1 is a hard level anyways for being so early in the game, so that should be good for those who get stuck on it. I'm surprised you were able to do the middle part, it's pretty tough.

To view it: Unzip that into the Blobbo's Adventure Folder, run the Replayer, select View Replay, and click on the file to see it.

[Shoelace]

Wow, Happyman, this a pretty cool. The controls are okay, but you did a lot of cool stuff. I downloaded like 20 minutes ago and I am at level 2-1.

That 2-1 Level is a toughy. My fingers are not that fast to switch the arrows, it is freakin hard. I hate that I got to the last part then die. Because now I can't do the middle part again. Grrr..

[LinktheMaster]

Yeah, I beat it probably right after you got done posting that. Yes, that middle part is some pretty tough crap. I think I pretty much beat it from luck. I'm now in the sewers, and have found out that it is pretty hard. Again I'm stuck, but give me some more time before you feel the need to post the replay. I think I know what to do, it's just doing it that's the hard part.

[HappyPuppet]

If it's 3-2 you're stuck on, you might be on that for a little while. That is a pretty tough level. Gotta know how to do those walljumps.

[Dustminion]

I downloaded the game, and I must say I really like it.

I'm on level 4-1. It's becoming too hard. Yikes.
