BichingISH! (Final Version 1.0)

[mateandmetal]

Hello, there!. In this post I submitted my first game. It is quite simple (and bizarre) 

Inspiration

Remember that good old game "Sam & Max: Hit the road" from LucasArts?
I really loved a mini game called Wak-a-rat. That was my inspiration.


The Story

Really? There is a story? ... Well, something like that..

We are two brothers, the owners of a fumigation company. Suddenly, our store is invaded by a new generation of rats, immune to the venom and traps. They come to take revenge for all the rats that we have killed. Having detected the immunity of these rodents, the brothers will have to combat the plague with other tools that are at their fingertips.


Game Mechanics

You will constantly see rats popping from the holes in the table. Rats can have from 1 to 3 lives. They also have a maximum time of "activity", which becomes shorter over the course of the game. If you let them escape with life, they will add some damage to your store (multiplied by the number of lives). The game is finished when you reach the maximum damage.
The game supports two players on the same machine.
You can use mouse, keyboard and/or joysticks.
Network game is not supported. (yet?)


Tools used

Programming: C++, MinGW/gcc compiler version  4.7.2, SFML 2.0 (from GitHub) - static linking under win32
IDE: Code::Blocks versions 10.05, SVN, 12.11 final

Woah, that is awesome. The menus,  the graphics, everything.

It looks like a finished game. How did you hide your assets? 

On a side note, those have to be the most scary looking rats I've ever seen.

I have my own resource file format, based on this wiki tutorial
