MUNCHIE MOVES 1.2

Version 1.2 brings a total re-design of the game. New title screen, logo, playmode selector, improvement of some of the in-game graphics and even new icons. New playmode: Piggy terror.

Banana Munch is a puzzle in which you have to guide Munchie the monkey so he can eat all the bananas in the jungle. To do so, visit all the squares of 10 by 10 board. You must follow a certain movement pattern. You can jump over two squares in a straight line or over one square diagonaly. And you can visit each square once and only once. Legal moves are marked by a green square, illegal moves are marked by a red one. It is possible to visit all the fields, but not all starting positions may grant that.

Monkey Hop is a puzzle based on peg solitare. Miss Munchita has a hard time deciding which of the 36 male monkeys of her tribe should she mate with. And so, males have to fight for her! On a grid of 37 squares there are 36 monkeys. Only possible move is to make one monkey to hop over another to an empty square. The monkey that jumped stays on the board, while the one that was jumped over is removed. The goal is to remove 35 monkeys leaving only one on the board. That will resolve Miss Munchita's dilemma!

Piggy Terror is a turn-based survival horror puzzle . Munchie wasn't paying attention and walked right into the hunting grounds of the dreaded carnivorous Pink Guinea Pig Tribe. They aren't very smart. They will run blindly towards Munchie - sometimes crushing into each other or stumbling over their unconscious fellows. Click on arrows to move, click on Munchie to stand. Scream to scare off the closest pigs or run away in panic to a random location. You can also make a last stand and let the Pigs close in. Save Munchie!

Features (1.0):
- Original graphics
- Original music
- Highscore
- Special bonus if you get a perfect score
- Gets boring quick

New Features (1.1):
- Improved interface (RESTURT button

).
- Brand new play mode
- Gets boring slightly less quick

New Features (1.2):
- Whole new interface
- Some improved graphics
- New playmode

What the game lacks

:
- Still no Snakes on a Plane mode
- No guest starring Hollywood celebrity

This is my first finished and polished game ever, even though I'm clicking since Klik n' Play was released. Big thanks to all of The Daily Click community - you've
encouraged me to take back on clicking just by beeing there. Special thanks goes to Phizzy - for all of his smart-ass talk wich made me feel I HAD TO learn some more advanced
tehniques (like fastloops

). Also big thanks to Circy, whose decision not to close the GOTW poll made me upload a new version of the game with no delays.

Enjoy your bananas!

hmmm I didnt find this interesting or fun in the slightest

Sorry :S
It's all nicely made apart from the actual gameplay and design. Thumbs down from me

Sorry if my last comment was too negative, it's just not my type of game I suppose.
Btw; is it supposed to just hang after each game (forcing player to F2)?

Posted by Mruqe

26th April, 2006

It's done on purpose - to let the player analyze the field a moment longer. So yes - you have to press F2 or choose 'new game' option from the menu.

Not a fan of puzzle games? No problem

Just don't vote thumbs down becouse the game is not your favourite type. I hate shooters and racing games - so I never vote on them at all

Well, I actually do like Puzzle games; Super Puzzle Fighter, Bust-a-move/puzzle bobble, tetris etc.
I just found the concept idea for this particular game way too basic and not very fun.

Posted by MJK

26th April, 2006

I love basic game ideas. This one was well implemented and polished, so it's thumbs up from me. What I would change is that thing at the end of the game; it's a bit confusing when nothing happens when you click the screen and the game is like freezed. Of course you can click it from the menu, but I'd like to see "click here to play again" on the screen, too. Other than that, I enjoyed this game. Online hi-score list would be great. This would also fit to the V-Cade very nicely.

Posted by Mruqe

26th April, 2006

There wouldn't be much point to an online highscore as the maximum points you can get is 100. And there is some twist you only get to see when you actually manage to eat all the bananas - so once someone completes the game - she or he can let us know

I will include "click here to play again" button soon, thanks for your suggestion. And for the comment.

This requires too much thinking. People will just click at random.

random is superfly

Posted by Peblo

27th April, 2006

Haha, what's the lowest score?

Posted by Mruqe

27th April, 2006

@ Phizzy: Sorry, that was because I copied the descreption from the games readme file.

@ Peblo: I managed to get 32 once

27th April, 2006

Its fun.

I got 72 points, then i got bored.

28th April, 2006

To all of the people voting thumbs down - please also camment on the game to let me know why don't you like it.

Posted by Mruqe

28th April, 2006

Fair enough, 5|\/|4R7455

But what do you guys think of the graphics and the presentation?

Posted by Mruqe

28th April, 2006

There used to be a development-time cheat. Pressing 'z' on the keboard tweaked your score to 100 so you could watch the end animation. I removed it, of course, because I'm evil

I'm thinking of maikng a sequel to this with some more game modes - a quest mode, where you would have to eat all bananas from custom locations with obstacles and a survival mode where you would jump across stones... Hard to explain now, really.

But I'm going to do something completly different first.

Nice work thumbs up

Feel free to vote for it in the GOTW poll then

It would be much helpful since noone seems to remember that the poll should be closed by now and someone is rigging my oponents votes right now

Thanks for your comments

This game is pretty good, make a sequal to it with more stuff to do.
Like a puzzle mode where you have to clear certain levels in a set number of moves or something.

Posted by Mruqe

8th May, 2006

Thanks Aiko - I intend to do that.

Posted by Mruqe

11th May, 2006

Allright - 1.1 version is here. Some new graphics and animations were added. And of course - a new play mode.

I have an idea for another one. I'll try to klik it within a week.

In the meantime - please re-download the game. I think it's better then it was. Oh, and let e know if you find any bugs.

11th May, 2006

Lol, i cant wait to see your 'Snakes on a plane'-mode

Anyway, very nice game! Nice imporvement also!

Posted by Mruqe

11th May, 2006

I still can't think of a way to implement snakes on a plane in a turn based puzzle game

Thank's for the comment.

11th May, 2006

Hmm, I got the score of 100!

...By the power of hex-editing the score file.

Posted by Mruqe

11th May, 2006

How devious of you.
But did you manage to see the ending animation that way?

Posted by

11th May, 2006

I just wanted to announce that Prask 2 is under development.
Bye!

Posted by Mruqe

11th May, 2006

Way cool!

Could you put Lawrence Fishburn in it this time? And could I contribute in any way?

Buuuut... Please don't stop working on your other game - Gimmis. I love that one.

Posted by

11th May, 2006

Sure! Lawrence Fishburn this time!

And if you want to help out you could always draw a really ugly picture that i can use as title screen!

Posted by Mruqe

11th May, 2006

Oh! That's something I'm good at

Posted by Mruqe

14th May, 2006

Well... looks like Munchie won GOTW after all. This means an update with a new play mode soon. Also - I've came up with a idea how to implement a Snakes on a Plane mode

But I'm saving it for later. First - something in the mood of survival horor game. You'll see

Posted by DaVince

14th May, 2006

I didn't see the ending animation, as the app wasn't open, so I'll have to get 100 for REAL.

Looking forward to a new game of yours.

Congratulations for winning GOTW!

But next time, ill win!

I just got an email from an editor of one of Germany's bigger gaming magazine and it seems they want to publish munchie on their cover DVD. I'll guess they have plenty of space to fill

Nonetheless it seems like Munchie's getting somewhere.

On other news - I've completly re-designed the user interface and polished some graphics. It looks quite good now, in my opinion. But that's something you won't see until version 1.2 is released

Posted by Mruqe

23rd May, 2006

Ok, version 1.2 is uploaded.

Posted by MJK

24th May, 2006

The new version is definitely great. I love the 3rd game mode. If you keep adding one or two modes (when you come up with a new ideas once again), this is actually becoming a very nice collection of mini puzzle games. As I said earlier, this is very polished, nicely implemented game. Well done.

Nice graphic and all that but this is hard and boring and what does the avatar means

Posted by Mruqe

31st May, 2006

I can agree to "boring", but if you find this hard there's something seriously wrong with you.

Avatar is that picture thingie next to your posts. You know - the one you have in .bmp format.
