now presenting ALIEN HOMINID: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view.php?id=59593

drew it all out in flash, handed the animations to tom fulp of newgrounds.com, had the guy from LHM do the music and ta da we finished. I'd say if we kept on it, we could have easily finished in a month but we kept losing interest and/or slacking. haha

anyway, enjoy! DO NOT FORGET TO EAT THE ENEMY'S SKULL! You can do it by pressing jump and down while over and enemy, then when riding on their head, press the trigger button to eat it and watch their buddy's reaction HEHEEHHEe that is my favorite part.

Love your graphic style SYNJ btw!!
This game is hard!!!! The bad guys are shooting constantly! Especially for the begining of the game, it is a bit depressing to get killed all the time. But maybe I need to practice more??

[synj]

i should have mentioned that.. everyone says its hard. well of course! if it was easy it'd be over quick. there's only one level hehehe

to put it in perspective i can get through the level with about 5 lives left. should be alot easier with a bit of practice i guess

[Rinaldo]

that is stupidly cool.

[Ian Jones]

Cool! very nice animations. The gameplay is insane.. very hard. It's good in that sense, but it is a bit of a turn away for beginners needing some encouragement.

Really nice work! I'm just getting into developing flash games myself, so this was really interesting. What is the framerate of the movie?

[NeoFun]

I hate you-- I just lost 45 minutes to that game.

[B0b]

OWNAGE!

[landmaster]

Waha! What are you guys talking about?! This game is suprisingly easy... and freegin cool to boot. This game owns me! I love you man!
A 10!

[oDD]

very cool

[2Fan]

Runs damn smooth (everything moves and blends perfectly), and superb effects! One thing tho, i expected more of a reward when finishing the game!
I want a cool synj flashy at the end!!!

Wtf is Cornelius Wreesvijk doing as music in your carrot movie???? He is Swedens Bob Dylan u know!!

Bloody hell, he's also bg music in your gnomes greating card... (!)

Thats one of the most successfull arcade emulation flash games I've seen. Very nice work. Ive been trying to do something like that for a long time, but all my experiments havent worked. Too slow or too buggy or both.

This might be a rediculous request but I could learn a whole lot from the FLA file for that game.. is there some way I could get it?

Here are a couple experiments that are actually barely playable.

If you think the keys arent working.. it's either you havent clicked on the flash window.. or that it just takes a long time to steer the ships. It's remake of an old Apple IIe game..

It's a big download, but thats because of the music The music is the best part of the game.

I havent polished the interface to either game cause I'm still working out bigger bugs.. sorry bout that.

Once again, nice work to you and your team synj

[napalm]

YAY DAN!

Finally! Woo.. GREAT work, love the FBI agents and all the death animations and all, smooooooth and funny and sexy, just like.. shaved cats?

So I guess we're not getting that rake game any time soon, huh? :P Hey hows the X-Box game coming along? Any idea when its due out?

[synj]

yo!

glad you guys enjoy it yeah some people say too hard, some say not challenging enough. personally i think its just right. i can finish it with anywhere from 3-5 lives left. that sounds about right? i think?

oldsuede, sorry man i didn't program it so i dont even have the .fla if i wanted to give it out! haha i just make animations and throw em at Tom Fulp.

Thanks Napalm! HEHE yeah i finished rakeman and sent it to him but he didn't seem very impressed somehow.. aka never going to be made. we have a few other ideas cookin as well as a level 2 for this project.

the xbox game (Whacked!) comes out in october. its one of the main launch games for xbox live! woohoo!

[see]

Yeah thats soo cool and hard, too.

Love to play this game.

[neff]

wah its so hard, but its damn cool!

[Awetopsy]

seems pretty busy, I only get into the game once outta every 3 or 4 times I try... :P

you should make it downloadable.

[2Fan]

It is downloadable awetopsy, you just have to view the source for link (and add a little to it, http.. etc) Not sure that is what synj or newgrounds want people doing, or I would post the link.

Synj!! I still want to know why Cornelius Wreesvijk was your music choice for the other swf:s!!

[aColdOldKodiak]

Synj is da coolest evar! Da game rulez!

[synj]

ah, happiness!!!!!

2Fan: once i did a search for polka and found Cornelis' stuff. I did a search on him after hearing that tune, and started collecting his work. His stuff is great to work to, and sometimes I am like "you know, this tune I was working to fits the piece". That's how those 2 showed up in there.

[AliasMoze]

The game is incredible. Your animation is awesome.

It's a triumph!

[mjmcchesney]

Great stuff, Dan! Always a pleasure to see you animate. In the next version, maybe push for some secret areas that require some platforming prowess. Would be nice to see an orangeyfat altar/fountain somewhere ;]

Keep it up. And we all demand more 3d stuff as well! =]

[keredleung]

great artwork and great game, but too difficult to play. anyway well done. its a ACT game, just like metal slug. but the artwork is absolutly different.

[Frost]

Synj: Wow. I am very impressed by this. VERY impressive indeed. I love platform side-scrollers. Wow. GREAT job!

[Kwiix]

Damn, that's one of the best flash games I've played in a while. Good stuff.

[Snorkles]

I came to the second boss with one life left and he shot me right off when I got there.
Nice animations! Reminds me of the bloody animations in the Fallout series.

[2Fan]

Synj, you've got exellent taste!

I find it awesome that Cornelius tune suits you while working. I always listened to him because of the lyrics, he got some kick-ass lyrics, to bad you dont understand them.

Btw, the music you had for the animated koy parts and that other series, with the cubes(and tiger)... stunning work, you combine art and music very well.

[synj]

bump, just cuz so much work went into it

hehe

good to see you around AliasMoze! Whatcha up to anyway?

mjmcchesney: thanks! haha yeah that would be kinda cool to have some kinda orangeyfat in there somewhere. might just do that on this KGB level i'm drawing today.

yayyy for frost!

[leno]

captain, i can read you clearly now.
it reads:
we are far way from (shoot)ing the duck.

[synj]

[toast!]
