Well, my second game has been completed. Galactic Mail is a little more involved than Evil Clutches, which is a good thing. In this game, you play the role of a galactic mail carrier. Using your spaceship, you must deliver mail between a group of moons and planetoids, while simultaneously avoiding the asteroids that are flying around. It sounds simple, but I am sure you will find it fairly challenging (I certainly did while testing it). The game currently has four levels, with the level of difficulty getting progressively higher, though I have a few ideas that I may explore to add more levels (if I can find the time).
As with Evil Clutches, clicking the link above will allow you to download a .zip file containing a ReadMe file, and an executable file. The ReadMe file contains the game information and controls, and the executable file runs the game. There is nothing to install. Also, as I mentioned with Evil Clutches, you will see a banner add for the Game Maker software when starting the game. That ad will appear until I can get the pro version of the software at the end of the semester. The game should run on any Windows PC, it has not been tested on other operating systems.
Once again, constructive criticism is welcome. I hope you enjoy the game, and look forward to hearing your thoughts about it.
Thank you again to The Game Maker’s Apprentice for providing the graphics and audio for the game, as well as the instructions to get the basic game created. The additional mods were done as part of the assignment for my class.
