None More Black updated!
Following the great user feedback on the first version of None More Black, I’m happy to announce the shiny-new version 2, with a few major changes, and many minor ones.
If you haven’t played None More Black yet, it’s a fast-pased asteroid’s style escape-em-up, where you play as a rock star on the run from groping groupies, and dangerous roadies. Try to survive the darkest night with the ultimate hard-rock soundtrack!
Play None More Black here. As before, would be really interested in hearing your feedback!
Those changes in full:
- Added mouse support (click to move!)
- Added WASD keyboard support
- Updated the in game help & instructions
- Made the ‘Lighter’ powerup last longer
- Minor difficulty tweaks
- Made the text non-selectable
None More Black (My First Flash Game!)
As part of the HCI MSc, we have been required to create an application in Flash, to give us a degree of practical skills in development as well as research and analytical skills. I’d decided to make a game, since it’s something that’d always interested me – this project gave me the push I needed to actually complete something.
None More Black is a simple top-down game, controlled with the arrow keys. Your goal is to survive as long as possible in the pitch black, avoiding obstacles like groupies and roadies with only your torch for assistance (and a few power-ups). The game is inspired by a number of classic games – Asteroids, Smash TV & Tilt To Live. As becomes obvious immediately, the thematic inspiration was Spinal Tap.
I’ll write up in the future about my experiences making the game, however I couldn’t wait to share the first version of the game. Please feel free to reply with feedback etc, I’d love to hear how the game could be improved, or your impressions.
None More Black can be found here.
NB: Reviews so far have been overwhelming. “It’s passable” said a chap from a Kongregate Chat Room. “Moderately okay” says the comments. Bet you can’t wait to play it now!
