Wow I think this is my best project ever....kinda.
I found some free music that can be used even if I make money from the project.
The graphics are pretty good.The basic elements are working.
I got rid of zombies and replaced them with these demons.
Now its time to make some special zodiac related abilitys and polish the game up with dimmed lightening and a flashlight thingy.

It's officially the final week of the compo, folks! You have until this Friday at noon to complete your games, and post a download link in this forum.
I'm very excited to see so much activity and some impressive 'peeks' at what the participants have in store for us. I've also recruited an additional seasoned judge for this compo, to add a broader perspective.

There's a week to go, and a wide field of entries. If there's anyone else with the stones to come up with an entry in time, just post notice of it in this thread, along with your Zodiac-themed source of inspiration.
As much as I love MMF2 and the TDC-community, I think this is going to be a tough one for me to finish.
Final exams combined with amazing summer weather and the fact that there's a lot of personal stuff going on in my life right now, has made it hard for me to find time for making this game.
On top of that I don't really even really enjoy my idea anymore considering there are so many cool things to do with the Zodiac theme, and mine is just kind of too bland and unintuitive.
With only 4 days to go, I sadly don't see myself being able to enter in this contest, but I wish the absolute best of luck to those who do!
As I write this, it's very nearly 11:30pm GMT, Wednesday night. That means there's about 24 hours before all submissions are due for Zodiac Attack 2013.
For your own information, here's a link to the World Clock website:
http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/world-clock/ As a Reminder:
- Please post a download link for your game in this thread. It must be available and your message must be time-stamped by Friday, 31st May, 2013. I realize only now that it would be somewhat difficult for me to see the time the game is submitted, but be sporting about it and do your best to not be late. I know that at 7pm Thursday evening in my current time zone, there should be no more entries accepted at that time. I'll also post a message in this thread to make it clear. You've been warned...
The Judging staff will begin reviewing and rating entries this weekend, and we'll have the results posted as soon as possible.
Best of success to all who have entered, and especially to those who finish and submit their entries in time. I'm so excited to see all the entries...!
That certainly works better for me, but it might be a bit unfair on the others. I can fairly safely say that it would take more than 2 days to get my game from its current state to one where it might actually be a contender for the prize, so it doesn't really matter either way.
Ok I guess that works for me....
Now I am overworking myself trying to finish it since once I had done the main elements I tought it would be easy to make maps and decorate them but now I have to strain myself.Well lets end this one floor 3/20 with some kind of tragedy.....I like tragedy's....As long as im not included in them....

This is a very simple game. You are in the stronghold of an evil wizard. He has destroyed much of the human race and less then a few million people are left. Your goal is to recover his orbs of power, and kill him. Otherwise, he will wipe out the rest of mankind. His stronghold is in Greece and, he has built it to somewhat model the Greek Zodiac.
Controls:
arrow keys - move
SHIFT key - select magic type
ctrl fire - selected magic
At the top of the screen are the follow indicators from left to right: your life strength; a ball that show what color magic you have selected; bars that show how much magic of each color you have.
At the top left are 4 boxes that show what keys you have. Red, orange, and brown keys open doors of the same color. Normal keys open the grey doors. You can carry as many normal keys as you want. But you can't carry more than one colored key of the same color. Skulls can only be killed by being shot with magic of the same color. Human like enemies can be hit with any colored shot. But you must shoot them 5 times.
When you first start the game, you will be in an empty room. Just walk to one of the walls to see which rooms you have not done yet. Open doors can be just walked through. But once you finish a room, the door will close and you will not be able to re enter. Gems add more life and magic types of all colors. Collect the orbs of power by walking over them.
HAVE FUN!
I won't be winning any prize with this, but I did my best. I crunched the last 3 days and although there is a bit of time left, I am so tired and want to get this done now. I had a week in which I was unmotivated, I was missing that time... oh well, I will finish this up beyond the contest, but for now I will submit what I got, since I might as well.
Human race got infected by this terrible virus etc.
Changes you into demons.
I didnt even do half of the stuff I was planning to.
BUT I finished arkham city story mode and started the dtory mode plus one.Also I done a lot of building on my tekkit world but all that matters is that I should have spend more time making this.
FEATURES:
3 GAMEMODES:
!Story mode! (only the Lobby and training floor completed)
!Fight till you die! (Well this is the only completed game mode...)
!Base Builder! (Not even started...)
A pistol!
Some kind of magic power!
!!!LOTS OF DEMONS!!!
And best of all.....
Somehow its about 38 megabytes(about 20megabytes is music =D).I'm guessing its because I dont have any .mid music and I just converted mp3 to wav...Dont look at me like that...
Its not finished but I'm releasing it anyway.
NOTE: I most likely will update this later on...Just got a great idea for a wilderness survival game...
Arrow Keys: Move around
Mouse: Aim Gun
Mouse 1: Fire gun
Mouse 2: Special abilitie
You got a limit of 25 bullets and ammo boxes arnt everywere you know?
Lets not forget that the special ability is very useful but costs 25hp...
And you only heal 1hp per 3.5 secs.
So start limiting yourself...
Did I mention sometimes your gun gets jammed? (this is a glitch but since idk how to fix it I turned it into a feature for you to enjoy!)
Fight till you die gamemode:
There are many changes to gameplay here.
Your GUI disapears thats one.
You still have your special ability tough but how can you know if the next use is going to kill you?
Its insta-kill.....for the demons ofcourse.That's right!You touch, you die...
Good luck....NOT.
Glitches that I know of:
Misformed walls
Jammed gun
Randomly crashing game
Health at 0 after death in storymode( you have to restart application)
And many others that I dont know of.
I should have foucused more on making my game then playing games by other people.I know LOL.

I'll admit the Zodiac theme is a bit of a stretch, but here goes: You play agent Zoe of the Zodiac Defense Force defending Earth from a horde of Green Bean Aliens from an invading space pod. You can attack them with Zodiac Pulse Guns or simply kick them. Once they are stunned you simple touch them to make them fade away. Gameplay is a platformer loosely based on the style of Bobble Bobble.
Heh, I just made that up. Oh well, I hope it's at least nice to look at.
Some really well executed games here. Can't wait to give them a try this weekend.

I thought the deadline was the end of the month, not one day before. There's a distinct possibility I won't be submitting anything. Oh well...
