Giving My 'Sort-Of-Game' a Point ... Sort Of

George Takes Flight! v2 - http://www.mediafire.com/?w0no3k4h13ipy2b

One major complaint about George Takes Flight! is the lack of any points system. And one commonly suggested addition is a points system. SO. Based on this market research, I decided to take a huge leap of faith, and add ...

... A POINTS SYSTEM.

I know, crazy. But, how to implement a points system into a game in which the overall encompassing theme it the theme of ... Well, pointlessness? A pointless points system was necessary ... Except that it had to have some point. So, I've added a points system, but the method of gaining points and upping your score is, at the moment, a classified affair ;) You'll just have to work the point out for yourself. Points.



Changes include:
  • A change to the menu system (It's now controlled using the arrow keys), and a button to exit the game on said menu.
  • A scoring system.
  • A way to actually win the game, and 'Win Screen' (It will continue to be called this until I can think of a better name, or a better name is suggested).
  • A background that doesn't infringe on someone's copyright, that I made myself. It'll blow your minds.
  • A deep and meaningful storyline, about a melancholy young man and his quest for freedom and world peace ... Yeah, still no storyline whatsoever.
To-Do*:
  • Add sound effects.
  • Add music(?).
  • In-game pop-up menu.
  • Add fullscreen option and options to change screen resolution.
  • Improve the 'Win Screen'.
  • Improve other menus.
  • Re-add (Is that a word? It is now.) a 'free flight' option, maybe as the prize for completing the game.
  • Add coins/ hoops/ aliens/ all 3.
  • Fix the restart option, as there currently isn't really a restart option. It kind of breaks the game.
*The chances of these to-dos ever getting to-done are looking increasingly slim. Mainly because I've finally realised how crap this is.

Screenshots and download link are below! Enjoy ;D

The revamped menu system. It's mind-numbingly incredible. The fact that the background image still manages to make me smile is kinda sad.
Gameplay! It plays the same. BUT NOW WITH A SCORE. And a legal background (That's miles better than the original anyway).
