UPDATED! NEW VERSION INCLUDES:

*New stage: The Chateau
*Cursor over Neo when covered in Smiths to find him easier.
*Power jump: Lets out a shockwave that clears out some Smiths
*Music
*Some Sounds

Here it is. Neo: Swarm Of Smiths. You get to play the best part of The Matrix Reloaded. You'll use items that appear to smack a growing number of smiths around the stage to rack up a high score. The stage holds up to 80 smiths. I wanted to do more but it just doesn't handle them all. But 80 gets crazy enough!

You mean you get to play the only good part of Matrix Reloaded?

Looks good, downloading...

What are you crazy? There were TWO whole good parts of matrix reloaded. Did you forget about the mansion scene?
I actually made a mansion background for this but its the same level except you get a sword instead of the sign. . .Maybe I'll release it later.

Oh yeah, that was good too.

I love this game. It's addictive. It could do with a better engine, but still...this is great. Thumbs up.

I put it together in about 4 hours and now I'm addicted to it too. My highest score so far is 32,000.

Very cool game, but when i play the game and it starts up the first level i got the following error: "cannot find the specified file make sure the path and file name are correct" after that the game plays but i dont get any sound or music

Posted by JustinC

3rd April, 2006

that would be the avi file which is for the music. I thought it would be in there since the standalone played it for me. . .I guess I'll just stick some midi in there.

Thanks Justin, and again very cool game. Maybe in other versions you can add some more levels? Like after you destroy so many smiths you move on to the next level? That would for sure keep the interest going in the game. Or maybe even you have a certain time limit to kill x number of smiths?

Oh and add some good punching sound-effects to and stuff i noticed there is none of them in the game.

The graphics are really great, but the actual gameplay wasn't really that fun. It was basically just mash punch as fast as I could while jumping around randomly and picking stuff up. I think it could have done with a better movement engine, some more moves, and more to it. Good work for 4 hours though.

It's pretty slick for a mini game. May I suggest adding a way to make it clearer where Neo is as he sort of blends in a bit too much with the Smiths.

Posted by JustinC

4th April, 2006

I don't know how to do an online high score table or I would have. . . .

woooooooooooweeee!!!!!! Crazy, but fun! Thumbs up!

Well if you think so please click the thumbs up button!

good idea, nice concept. shouldve stuck with standard aswd controls with lets say the space bar as the "use weapon" button. People with the imfamous "sticky key" thingy will have a hard time. i know i did. the stupid window kept popping up and for some reason theres no way to shut the damn feature off. if your a regular gamer like me then you wouldnt like using the arrow keys. like i said i wouldve perfered aswd. but i liked the sprites and the idea so i gave a reluctant thumbs up.

oh and U.2 little bro... what the hell do you like!? i havent seen you like anything thats been submitted lately

Posted by JustinC

4th April, 2006

There is a way to turn it off, I dealt with that damn sticky keys issue for a while on my other computer. The controls can easily be changed to use / and . for the jump and attack though. In fact you could change them all to whatever setup you want. . .

And my new high score: 42,600! Anyone who beats that should get some DC points or somethin.

To Fix Stickykeys (on my computer anyway)

Control Panel>Accessibility Options>Keyboard Tab

Then where it says "Stickykeys: Use if you want to use yada yada yada" Click Settings. there's a check box that says Use Shortcut. Just unclick it.

Wow this is VERY cool.

Better than the ps2 version where you kick in loads of smiths (I hate the PS2/PC/GC/Xbox/Whatever version)

Yay! An update! I'll have to update my review for ClickZine...

This game's really cool, I'm having a lot of fun playing it. The only problem is, you can stay alive forever on the top platform and just wait for health, so having an online score system would mean nothing.

Aside from that, my only other gripe would be that it doesn't really feel like the Smiths are getting killed (if they even were), which I think would at least give some sense of accomplishment in a game where there's no end. But everything considered, great game!

Posted by JustinC

6th April, 2006

No they don't get killed, since they didn't appear to be getting killed in the scene in the movie either. You get 10 points every time you bash one into a wall. And yeah. . . I know about the "infinite health" thing. This whole time I've been thinking about just removing the health boxes and starting your health off at 1000% instead of 500.

Posted by JustinC

6th April, 2006

(at this point however I didn't see the point in releasing a new version where you can't pick up health. Who would download it now?)

Great for 5 min if ur bored, in fact i would say its the best game for a five min break. its fun, its free, but only problem is smiths are too fast and there should be more moves in the game, for example, you could add bullet time skill to slow down smiths by 75%, also needs more levels and a more bigger selection of weapons. Lol highest score i ever got was a crappy 5000.

Posted by JohnLastrologue

Make the medkits appear on score related events, like in every 5000 points one appear. That way online score would still mean something.

Posted by JustinC

6th April, 2006

That medkit thing might work. And this is definitely a "for 5 minutes when you're bored" type game, but personally, I think that's what more click games should be like, whether a game has 3 levels or 30, the truth is most people here don't ever spend more than 5 minutes playing most click games anyway. How many games have you downloaded and kept on your harddrive for more than a day?
