Not much this week, or at least, not as good as Microbes anyway!
I decided to redo Raining Bombs, from a few weeks ago.
The last one was for my Cookie phone, (which has since become a Viewty phone) and this one’s for Windows.
It looks more dramatic than it is!
Two turrets that shoot each other over and over again.
If you blast your enemy beneath the bottom of the screen, you win a point, and then it all starts all over again.
No intro, no music, not even a “BANG!”, more a subtle silent set of weapons 
You can Download Raining Bombs here.
Is it worth adding more to this game?
I said, once I released the Phone version, that I should probably make it a wee bit bigger.
A collection of weapons, shops, and maybe make things a bit more “Worms” like by adding teams, and things like that.
Scrolling, too, would be nice!
I’m not sure if I can be bothered to do all that, though.
I’ll be lazy and say that this is probably good enough.
Want more : Motivate me!!

These are some awesome destruction effects. It’s a nice twist on that one tank game. I really like how detailed the building destruction gets.

It’s really a very simple effect.
Draw the image, save, destroy a bit, save, destroy some more, save again.
Then just load those 3 into 8×8 pixel chunks, and use those chunks to build up the buildings.
(See buildings images in the folder)
It’s a really simplistic way of doing it, but something I would never have bothered to consider, had I not been scaling down for the phone in the first place.
Just goes to show!!
