• [Released]Homebrew Game – Slime Roll v0.1

    PS3 Hacks, Uncategorized , 20.08.2011

    ThatOtherPerson has yet again released another Homebrew game, this one called Slime Roll.

    Here is something “new” that I have been playing with. It’s sort of a continuation of a browser based demo I made when HTML5 was the cool new thing and I was still messing around with JavaScript and an HTML5 canvas for the first time.

    Currently there is some green stuff that falls down and you can rotate the world to make it fall in a different direction and in doing so you can get the green stuff to navigate the world. There is a built in level editor.

    It is just a toy at the moment and a roughly constructed one at that. I will probably do a bit more work on it and make it into a game but I don’t know when. I’m not really considering it a very high priority. If you think it’s interesting and want to see it improved upon sooner rather then later then let me know.

    PS3 controls:
    * Left analog stick = Move the camera
    * L1 and R1 = rotate the camera and the direction of gravity
    * L2 and R2 = zoom the camera in and out
    * X (in the editor) spawn a wall (hold and drag to scale)
    * Circle (in the editor) spawn a something (hold and drag to scale)
    * Square (in the editor) spawn slime
    * Triangle (in the editor) delete the most recently spawned thing

      I have to agree with CrystalWolf. The dev is releasing a lot of "games" and non of them should even be considered alpha let alone beta. I appreciate his contributions but I would rather have 1 or two near complete or complete games then 4-6 totally incomplete ones.

      I gotta say I really like this, and my other half was mesmerised watching the slime moving around, lol. I love the games that ThatOtherPerson is putting out, for the PS3, and for the Wii, so keep up with the good work, its nice to see someone doing things for the PS3 that isnt another rip off of a back-up manager.
      I do have one request for this game, a delete button for ANY wall u have made, being able to delete only the most recent blob is fine, but not when u get all the way around something and realise u r stuck, lol.

      P.S. If u ever want me to test anything, gimme an inbox and i'll be happy to help

      I agree with CrystalWolf and xPreatorianx. The Games are nice to play, but only for a few minutes, then they get boring because you cant accomplish a goal.
