Socoder -> Off Topic -> Cod3: not a game

Looks like cod3 is getting a skip level button... Truly awful state of affairs... In my opinion, this stops a game from being 'a game'!

its a bit like two footy teams going out to the centre circle, then saying "fuck it, we cannot be arsed with it, we'll just say it 2-2 eh?"

This tickled me...


"Consumers and game players in general are far more mature these days," Mr Blundell told E


Then totally wrecks it with...


'Dude, you've got to check out level four!'


Dude???? Duddddeeeeeee?????

Do they all think everyone talks like bill and fucking ted, and if they do, they want to yank themselves out of the 80's and have a shake of themselves...

Dude my arse, I'm 37 and live in 2015... Stick ta camels testicles craic up your arse COD, ya game killing shitbags!!!

I've added Skip buttons to both Sheep Goes Left (and right) and SpikeDislike3.
Not for the sake of "Skipping to the end", but more so that I can make really really really really really EVIL levels, and people will have the option to skip them if necessary.

I know that people hate the math-puzzle nature of the "Exact Score" levels, and some of those "Super" levels can be alarmingly difficult, but knowing that there's a skip button available eases my worries that the levels might be too hard.

.. The fact that neither of them have sold shit, might be a warning that I've probably overstepped the mark!!

Agreed, it is, all very odd. It's part of the reason I've bunged a single level mode in They Are Everywhere, but I'm not just going to let players skip to the ending credits.

There needs to be rewards for y'know, actually beating the game!

Gamers these days, back when I was a lad, etc, etc.

Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

People complaining that they won't buy a game without a skip level button probably wouldn't buy the game anyway. I've never implemented one and never will. Fuck 'em!
