Description:

Bouncy bullet is a platform game where your objective is to defeat all the villains in each level. To fire your gun use the space bar, but beware your bullet will bounce around the room and you can only fire one bullet at a time. Use the left and right arrow keys to move the main character, the down arrow key to force yourself down in the air, the up arrow to jump, the up arrow after that to double jump, and hold control to run. When you come across any Villi-nator 2000's make sure to shoot them till they are gone, or else they will continue to produce enemy units! At the last level fight the evil boss Mr. Bubbles. After completing the game, you can decide whether to restart from the tutorial, enter the next difficulty, or enter Infinity Mode. (Some bugs here in infinity mode that will be fixed soon)

If you read my previous blog Bouncy Bullet Game Development and Alpha, you'll know that I started this game in a class at SJSU and this is my turn-in for the project. I was given about a months time to work on this with the help of my teammate, and I'm proud to say it has gone far since I posted the alpha just two weeks ago. You can try out the previous version and compare it to this one to see how far it has gone. The bullet, character, and enemy animations are improved, the game is much longer, and there are limitless difficulties to test your skills.

Add-Ons:

One addition to the prototype that really made a difference was the bouncing animation for the bullet. With this addition, the game was given a "Juicy" feel that brings life to a game. Before this was added, the bounce had the same mechanics, but was smaller and had didn't even change image angles when it hit a wall to match what direction it was going.

The Game was a great learning experience, and I hope to continue work on this game and make it even better. 

Go try Bouncy Bullet today and see how you can do!
