I think classical music would work.

Megalomaniak

1812 overture, during the cannon shots the turret gets a damage buff.

Ok here is the first html5 for structure test. "In the grimdark of the human immune system there is only war!"

Spacebar to shoot on battle screen, mouse to aim. On bodymap screen click red cells to goto battle map. Click green cells make them vanish. The cells dont affect organs yet or kill patient yet. I will add that on next write.

Kill BobTheCancer before the white blood cells kill you or the cancer cells escape. The green cancer just cycle back thru if you dont kill them right now- but they will spread cancer on next write.

I do not have a victory condition yet, nor do I have any save functions this is to get further ideas on game play and make sure game functions. There is stutter on audio on page loads.

But you can see the game flow and base idea and let me know what works for you and what sucks. Would really love feedback harsh, funny or not. :) This is the first game I have written on prescription narcotics! LOL

Kill all Cancer!

Thanks JB

Space bar isn't shooting anything for me- anyone else?

Are you on the battle map? The one with the cannon in the center?

Oh, wow! That's actually a lot of fun and not exactly like any game I've ever played. I think it still might need a little polish but it's looking very good.

Yeah it needs a lot of work. It is hard for me coming up with a non-depressing game mechanic on this one. And I wanted it very simple. Thanks for the encouragement.:)

I changed the body to have a death scenario, the green cells if unclicked turn into red cells, the red cells if unclicked get bigger and scale up the battle scene with the tumor, if unchecked they grow again, and if still unchecked kill the organ turning organ gray. If all 7 organs die the patient dies.

I have not updated my html5 on itch yet I am waiting till I have more finished. So these changes are not on the Itch io version yet.

Here are the 3 stages of BobtheCancer in the battlemap. The purple dude is a killer t cell. He shows up during stage 2 and 3 and he can kill your cannon with one touch or explosion. Vs the 3 touches required by white blood cells.

Also I updated the cannon sprite LED's to match the battery health(?) bar. And added a cancer escaped count on the top HUD on battle map.

Nice cohesive style.

Uploaded next update. Updated some graphics, added scaling difficulty of bobthecancer as he gets more powerful. Added some persistency between the bodymap and the cancer battlemap. As far as finishing this I can see the light at the end of tunnel now- or maybe a train headlight?

I actually have not figured out a game mechanic for the win scenario which would be a cancer free body. But techically in games terms it is cancer free when the map starts, maybe cancerfree variable that counts so many tumors destroyed plus all organs cancer free.

I dont think I will add any upgrades to cannons or workers, like I thought originally. I do think I will have a difficult that increases number of active tumors at start.

Also I have a bit of game art to remake.

Let me know your thoughts and if this plays for you.

cybereality

Oh, cool. It's playing fun. I finally realized you're supposed to kill the green guy, I originally thought you just had to survive for the longest. It makes more sense now.

jbskaggs

Yeah he's the cancer tumor:)

Erich_L

Ah yeahhh with the newest version my space bar let me shoot. I wrecked that cancer!

jbskaggs

I have not updated file on itch. But I added a difficulty screen. It randomly generates 3 profiles. one with just colon cancer on easy. One with colon stage 2 and lung stage 1 cancer on medium. One with colon stage 3, liver stage2, and lung cancer stage 3 on hard.

I thought this would be easy- but I could not get the randomizing to create separate numbers. Eventually got it to work.

Game is released publically on itch.io. https://jbskaggs.itch.io/kill-all-cancer[https://jbskaggs.itch.io/kill-all-cancer](https://jbskaggs.itch.io/kill-all-cancer "https://jbskaggs.itch.io/kill-all-cancer")

I went against my nature and fought feature bloat to the death, as well as trying to make this as fast as possible for me.

Anyway I appreciate and feedback.

Looking better. I found some bugs, though. When going full screen the space bar no longer worked so I couldn't shoot. Also when the purple cells touched me the cannon would disappear, but there would be no game over screen, it would just continue forever. Other than that it's pretty close, you just need to polish it a bit.

Also, you might want to upload a logo graphic and like 2 or 3 screenshots so people know what the game looks like. The page looks really blank right now and could use some design. Hope that helps.

thanks

I have no idea why the spacebar quits working in full screen. I fixed the other isue and will reupload

This was a learning experience for me- as I had to relearn a lot of things I forgot in chemo. I need to learn how to speed up scene changes. I am guessing preloading and making instances would be faster than tree changescene(). The whole point of adding loading please wait popups on the html5 ver was to give time for the scene t load- otherwise I couldnt even tell if the buttons wee doing anything. For about 15 minutes I was trying to figure out what was blocking my mouse click. But it was just a long scene load instead.

I also understand this is a really primitive game at this state. Hopefully the next one will be better.
