Cause Galactic Genocide in Space Balls…

Alan Martin — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:39:40 +0000

This week’s new game is all about wiping out life on distant (and not so distant) planets. It’s Space Balls!

The Evil Emperor Wang is bored. That’s bad news for the population of nearby galaxies, who are about to be wiped out to keep him entertained for the next few hours.

This is where you come in: play inter-planetary pool to make literally killer shots. A handy sun to burn them up? A vortex to knock a planet in to? All handy stuff…

Help Design a Match Day of the Dead User Levels Pack!

Alan Martin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:50:14 +0000

We know there’s plenty of you out there who can’t get enough Match Day of the Dead. The built in level editor certainly has a load of gems in there, but we know you’re busy people (right?) and don’t have time to sort through the hundreds of user levels uploaded every day.

That’s why we’re looking into creating a User Level Add On Pack – and we need your help.

We’re looking for 30 brilliant levels to highlight the creativity, talent and brilliance of our players. If you send us a design, and we like it, it’ll go in the game with full credit to you.

Just send an email to userlevels@mousebreaker.com containing:

- The Level Name

- The name/nickname you want in the game

- The level export code

Don’t know how to make and download level code? Here’s how…

- Load up Match Day of the Dead: http://www.mousebreaker.com/games/matchdayofthedead/playgame

- Click Editor

- Design an awesome level

- Test it, to make sure it’s completable

- Press Export, then copy the generated code into the email.

A few things to note:

- Levels that are near impossible to complete won’t get a look in!

- Levels that make the game run too slowly will also be discounted

- Offensive levels won’t make the cut (we know what’s possible with the tools!)

- Don’t steal other people’s designs as your own

Good luck!

Jumpers 4 patched to 1.4

Alan Martin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:26:46 +0000

Just a small – but very significant – patch this time for Jumpers for Goalposts 4 fans. If you were one of the people for whom the game crashed after one shot on the training ground, then you’re in luck. We think we’ve fixed it here.

Other than that, it’s small fixes, but keep reading for the full list…

What’s new in 1.4?

- Fixed: A small number of players couldn’t get past the first shot in training. This was a bug with the way sounds were played, which has been fixed.

- Added a second longer before the ball comes in for snapshots, volleys, headers and overhead kicks to give players longer to prepare

- Moved events that charge the player money to later in the game so players don’t get plunged into early debt

- Fixed a couple of typos

Alien Survival Horror Action in Outpost: Haven

Alan Martin — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:21:18 +0000

Being a space marine isn’t half as exciting as it’s made out to be. Take Outpost: Haven, it’s just a typical day at the office, where you have to go and check on a radiation leak at a nearby outpost. It’s basically like being a plumber on call out.

Unless its been overrun by vicious aliens of course, but that all seems a bit far fetched.

Oh, wait.

Okay, maybe the plumbing analogy isn’t quite right. This may be a little more risky, and a little more blood-splattery. Guide your marine round the plant with the arrow keys, or WADS and use the mouse to shoot. Be sure to check out the terminals as you go – very atmospheric!
