Title: Heroes + Villains
Post by: Alec on February 11, 2009, 05:19:52 am
I've been working on an iPhone game for the last couple of months! (with some of the folks from Infinite Ammo)

(http://infiniteammo.ca/public/blog/heroes_villains_clemens.jpg)

The game is a little bit like Lemmings meets The Incredible Machine - you play as a team of super heroes tasked with saving all the innocent civilians in the current level. Each hero has a different power, and you'll have to make clever use of them to save everyone.

But - there are also villain levels, in which your goal is the opposite - to kill all the innocent civilians. >:]

In addition to the iPhone/iPodTouch version, we're thinking of making a PC+Mac downloadable edition.

You can see all the H+V blog posts here (http://infiniteammo.ca/blog/tag/heroes-and-villains/).

Let me know what you guys think! :)

Awesome. I've been following the game for about a month now, and it looks superb.  ;)

But why didn't you keep this (http://infiniteammo.ca/public/blog/h+v-0002.jpg) version of the strongman?  :(  :)

This is bloody brilliant, once again something entirely original, or at least something that really hasn't been done a lot before.

I checked the site and I'm very impressed, I really hope it'll come for the PC, I'll definitely be spending my money on such an awesome game.

It's cool, but do you have to sound so incredibly bored?

Uh, I sound bored to you?

I was pretty tired when I recorded that... but I certainly wasn't bored.

"Oops."  *Died!*  "Heheh!"
Villain! ;D

But yeah, looks like fun!  I really hope you guys release this on PC.  In addition to Lemmings, it also reminds me of The Incredible Machine in a way.

That's not bored Alec! That's professional "making a video for the government" Alec :)

Same as everyone here, i'd be happy to see H+V on PC.

I didn't understood the game until i saw the video (maybe because i don't have an iphone/itouch, so i did not read all posts).
After the video, i though too bad it's just for iphone. But now, you are thinking of a PC/mac version, everything's different :)

I'm going to watch the video again, and with the sound this time :p

PS: by the way Alec, if you have the time,  can you check, i sent you a mail a few days ago about getting the last version of aquaria, currently i'm still "stuck" with v1.0.3  :'(

Looks fun.  If I had any intention of ever paying hundreds of dollars for a phone, I'd totally get it.

Done (it's the same email as the one used for the forum). I'm not sure the PM has been sent, as it's not shown in my "outbox".

PM's only get to your outbox when you check the "Save a copy in my outbox" button.

Yeah, I'm not really interested in the "phone" part of the iPhone.

iPod Touches have all of the cool functionality minus the 'phone part, and they work basically the same. <3

Looks great! So if I ever buy an Ipod Touch, I can play it there? (because I won't buy an iphone) Fine. :)

All the games available for the iPhone are playable on the Touch (another good reason to skip the phone function IMO).  :)

this looks so very cool Alec  8) is there an emulator in the works for iphone/touch for pc/mac?  if I get a smartphone, not sure if it would be an iphone, sort of leaning towards the new palm these days.
