DamN

Toomuchsparetime · Post by **Toomuchsparetime** » Sun Aug 17, 2008 13:37

On the TIGsoruce forums, I'm making a "bootleg demake" of DooM, which just means a technologically inferior parody that almost breaks copyright law. Naturally, it'll have a cameo of someone who bears similar resemblance to Keen... hanging from a noose, probably.

It's "DamN"! The story of a space marine who discovers that he has no working guns when the legions of Hell attack, so he has to solve the situation using his brainpower. OH NO! You'd better give him all the help he can get!

While the sprites may look DooM-y, the gameplay is basically Paganitzu.

Interesting concept. Looks like fun.

Is there some other control apart from the arrow keys that I've missed? I can't see any way of solving that level simply by moving around and pushing things...

Alright, I've collected all the silver coins, I've cleared my way to the exit, but I can't think of a way to get the silver coin that is in front of the imp without killing mÐµ.

Plus, I found a bug. Try to blow a barrel in the lava at the bottom (where there are two silver coins) and you'll blow the silver blocks. You'll open a hole outside of the field and if you move out, you'll disappear. Or maybe thats just part of the evil "restart" plan.

Iv4n: See the big diagonal of green barrels? Hint: The only one in that original line you want to move/use is the upper right one.

:) Cool level, TMST. Took me a while to figure out!

Well done, Xky.

I haven't done anything about "border-breaching" yet, Ivan. I will, though. It's an "off-the-map" error thing that makes you disappear.

Interesting. I can't figure out how to get anywhere in the test level, though.

It's a funny idea, but I can't pass the level either! Are there some controls or moves other than those keys?

Head to the right from the start, to use the teleporter. :)

Ok, I got that figured out, but can't get any further from there!

That's nice. Now after the big explosion I don't have enough barrels to clear the exit

Coins actually block enemy attacks.

But how the garg you people get around pushing those barrels?!

I can only push one toxic barrel downwards and one to right, and those three non-toxic barrels one step right each, and that's all! And are there more controls than arrows, why can't anyone answer?

Ah, I've figured out a bit more - it's just using the arrows. If you push any kind of barrel onto the slime it removes the slime, and if you push a slime barrel onto the dirt square there's an explosion, which you have to quickly run away from (which is odd because if you cross the path of one of those demons you can't move until you die.) The explosions take out those demons. If you push a normal barrel onto the dirt it disappears.

Once you've gone through the teleporter and run up to those three barrels (with a coin, shirt, coin next to them - the ones in KR's post) you can creatively move those barrels to get past. (If you push the top one and the bottom one, that gives you enough room to push the middle one *down* instead...)

KeenRush: Check out 2:20 in this video, or more clearly 1:20 in this video. :)

The Adventures of Lolo is a great series, with annoyingly cute music.

Also, Malv, in true DooM fashion, I think what you're referring to as "dirt" is actually Lava. :D

Malvineous · Post by **Malvineous** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 9:36

Haha yes, lava, of course. Explosive dirt seems so silly now

And hooray, I figured it out and passed the "level leetness" test as well

That was a really tricky level though - it took me a while to figure out how to get that one extra barrel you need to clear the exit! A bit frantic too running away from that really big explosion...!
