Boring story behind the game:
Back in October 2008, Kongregate released a tutorial dubbed “Shootorial” that taught how to create a shooting game in Flash. Intrigued, I took a look to see how they did it.
It was easier than expected.
I created a near-clone of their tutorial (ie, ripped the code and changed the graphics), dubbed it “Liquid Egg Shooter”, and added some features. Never got around to finishing it. But when Q asked where the Eggony game was? Might as well put out this one.
You’ll notice the lack of polish. There are no sounds for explosions and such. Most of the ships and enemies have no animation whatsoever (the graphic may be moving around, but the graphic is static). And some details in the How to Play might be wrong.
There was also supposed to be dialog during the game to advance the “plot”, but the only story is in the mission briefings before each level. And there were going to be more than just three levels. (You can tell because there’s no closure to the “plot”.)
Anyway, let me know what you think.
A whiteknuckle walrus-bukkit full of awesome and total win!

Reply to Mrs Chessloserfirst of all the aliens look… oddly shaped. just like all the “shape fails” on failblog in fact.
second I can’t get the “f” key to fire fast enough.
third awesome music
and fourth i don’t think i’ll ever get any work done. ever.
Reply to annie@Derek: Thanks, now I know there’s leverage to charge people $.50 per play.
@Mrs. Chessloser: Yeah, but who’s more boring, me or him?
@Annie: Yeah, those aliens were supposed to be chefs, I have to get a better graphic for them…
As far as firing: the game’s designed so holding down F is a bad idea. I usually fire until power goes to half, then stop until it refills.
Reply to DonnieWhere’re the scantily clad women that you advertised?
Great game! Hope you’ll make more.
Reply to AnonymousI was going to complain that we’re flying through the North Korean Airspace and don’t see Dear Leader, but wow.
The only thing missing from this game is a Grand Ayatollah and Chavez. And perhaps a certain Libyan leader.
Reply to Allen@Anon: I can probably fit in some scantily-clad women in level 5.
Eggony is not really the game I wanted to make, but maybe in a few months or so I’ll be able to start on a new game. Too much programming to do.
I’ll add a level to Eggony every few weeks or so.
@Allen: LOL. Kim Jong Il is the natural choice for the level boss!
As far as those other leaders, right now they’re not on the storyboard, but we’ll see. As you might guess, Level 4 will have the Pope.
Reply to DonnieThen I assume the pope would be in the pope mobile.
I’d also like to recommend Putin.
Reply to AllenYes, definitely the Popemobile. Unfortunately, after level 5 the story will take us away from Earth, but at least there’s room for one more despot.
Reply to DonnieWow… I scored a CLass B USCF rating… ironic
Reply to BlunderproneHa. In sidescrollers, they always seem to have a score, but no one really cares. Only getting through the game seems to matter.
