BABU Release 1.0


The release 1.0 is now available! Finally!

— ATTENTION: WebGL build — I could build the WebGL version and it runs. That was the good news. BUT: The controls do not feel good. That is a no-go for a skill-centered game. I do not recommend to play that build if you want to play through the game. It is okay to play to get a first impression tough.

I recommend the downloadable version.

My Linux update (from 2009) failed. Could also not install a newer version on the old PC (BIOS problems). So I have no clue if the Linux build will run at all.

New features:

  1. Graphics Update!
  • The old magenta graphics have been replaced by default with blu-ish graphics to better fit the eye.
  • Users now can also choose between the old and the new graphics
  • Minor graphic updates and some new graphics have been added

2.) Impact / Player Feedback

  • The blocks are now showing if they have received damage or much damage
  • The bombs now blow more violently
  • There now is a noteable difference between bomb and super-bomb range

3.) Controlling

  • The player will not get stuck while moving alongside a wall of blocks anymore

  • Small first approach to address a problem with diagonal movement, not much impact though

  • More Gamepad support has been extended. BUT: Still not all supported. Please report any problems with joysticks or gamepads and tell the problem and the type of controller.

  • You can turn up or down the volume in the menu now.

4.) Bugfixes:

  • No(?) more phantom blocks, causing robots to spawn new blocks in mid of a block line
  • No wrong positioning of the player after entering a new level anymore
  • Bomb-spawn-timer now resets between levels
  • WebGL build finally running again (still not a good feeling playing it in the browser)
  • Several minor bug fixes

5.) And more? Sorry I could not include all of the recent user feedback yet. But there will be a next update version 1.1.

By the way: Would you like some ingame music or a title music?

I am always hungry for your feedback. :)

Features to come with version 1.1:

  • Debris from destroyed blocks
  • Enemy robots floating in space when their block gets destroyed
  • New sound effects for those new features
  • 10 new levels, leading you into outer space
  • A new minimap and intro screen for that 2nd part of the game
  • New backgrounds for our new and old journey
  • New turret fire sequences
  • New bomb type: horizontal flare
  • A more refined sound configuration in the options menu
  • maybe highscore input even when losing the game
  • maybe a short(?) title melody
  • maybe a demo playing on start screen when left unattended for some time
  • maybe a bomb countdown after placing them
  • Fix the diagonal movement problem. (That may become my personal hell)
