Credits -------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Booger Bungee I'm sure many of you (if not all of you) have picked your nose as one point or another. Many of you have even perhaps gone as far as to eat whatever glorious treasure you've gleamed from it. But have you ever considered that perhaps those simple creatures which you unceremoniously tore from your nose and shoved into your mouth without a second thought each and every day at school... have you ever considered that these simple creatures have feelings, just like you and me? Well, they do. This is their story. Booger Bungee is the first and only chapter of the long-awaited Nose Trilogy. In it you play the part of an aspiring Booger Bungee athlete. For the past year you've been training, but will it be enough? This year the competition's tougher than ever. All your skills will be sorely tested this day... -------------------------------------------------------- Uh, What? If you're still reading, than you haven't gone off to tell your grandmother about the "horrible thing you found on the internet". That's good. But you're also probably extremely confused. Truthfully, without all the aforementioned mumbo jumbo, Booger Bungee is a simple game, where the object is to, in a certain amount of time, rack up as many points as possible and maybe even get a high score. The easiest way to do this is to do tricks. The tricks are outlined below. -------------------------------------------------------- I Still Don't Get It Oh, shut up, already. -------------------------------------------------------- Getting Started At the Title screen, you will notice two option boxes and four large, plush buttons: Enter Your Name - I think this is self-explanatory. This affects you if you get a high score, so don't put down something you'll regret later, like "Barfy". Speed Option - Booger Bungee has been known to run a little fast on some computers (not necessarily better ones). I suggest that you do a Practice round to see what setting is best for you. 1 is default as that's how I play it on my computer. Ha! Practice - Practice lets you practice your tricks without the chance of getting a high score. Press the Spacebar or break your rope (more on this below) to exit Practice. Start Swingin' - Allows you to compete for high score. View High Scores - Only the highest scorers will be displayed prominently here, along with their score and (hopefully) a witty quote. Exit - Takes you to a secret game which is fifty times more fun than Booger Bungee. -------------------------------------------------------- Tricks Doing tricks is the key to getting high scores. Tricks range from easy to medium to hard, and the amount of points you get varies with the difficulty. Let's teach you some basic tricks, first. All basic tricks are done by pressing either a, s, or d once. [Move : Point Value : Button(s)] Stretch : 5 : a Bend : 5 : s Switch : 5 : d Easy tricks are made up of a combination of basic tricks. Twist : 100 : s,d,s Ballooner : 100 : a,s,s Smiley : 100 : s,d,a Medium tricks are made up of a combination of basic tricks, but can only be done at certain points in the jump. Supafly : 200 : ? Phat Friday : 200 : ? Big Poppa : 200 : ? Hard tricks are made up of a combination of easy tricks. Muscleman : 600 : ? Santa : 600 : ? Triple X : 600 : ? Point values for easy and medium tricks go down with each trick you do. For example, if I did three ballooners, my fourth one would only give me 85 points, instead of 100. You also earn a variety bonus at the end of your jump. The more (different) tricks you do, the higher the variety bonus. Basic tricks do not count, so the highest variety bonus is 900 points. -------------------------------------------------------- Rope Tension In the right corner of the jump-screen is a little booger face and some text. This gauges your rope tension. Rope tension goes up if you do too many tricks in a row. As rope tension gets higher, you run the risk of the rope snapping, sending your jump to an early end. Rope tension goes down when you do new tricks. -------------------------------------------------------- Commentators: Your jump will be introduced by the famous Raul "Scabby" Gonzalez, and MC Elmer, a brand-spankin' new veejay for MTVB (Music Television for Boogers). This dynamic duo will provide commentary during your jump, and will rate your performance at the end. -------------------------------------------------------- One Final Note At Blackeye Software, we strive to make games which are simple to learn and play, and quick to download. I think Booger Bungee epitomizes this. It's a game which you could spend a lot of time playing, but not a lot of time to get into. It's quirky, it's got a lot of spunk, and I put quite a bit of effort into it. I hope you enjoy this fruit from my loins! -Derek (in a sleepless daze) -------------------------------------------------------- Credits Concept: Derek Yu Game Design: Derek Yu and Jonathan Perry Main Programming: Derek Yu Programming After Derek Got Too Lazy: Jonathan Perry Artwork: Derek Yu Beta Testers: Derek Yu, Jonathan Perry (this is a small operation here), Aaron "Mad Dog" Pickering, The Gimpenstein Special Thanks: No one, absolutely no one!
