My first game, Ghost Zapper
I've played with game makers in the past, but really haven't done anything beyond the tutorials offered. I've been using a new program called Construct 2, which makes your game in HTML 5 and it's pretty easy to use. I had a good time making this admittedly pretty bad game, and that's what really counts. Basically I made a little Ghostbusters rip off, where you control the proton gun on the bottom of the screen. You can move the proton gun left and right with the A and D keys, and you use the mouse to aim the gun, holding the left button to fire a proton stream. After holding the stream on a ghost for a second, it will be zapped. You also have 3 ghost bombs, which you can use with the W key, taking out all ghosts on the screen. Rinse and repeat until you're out of lives. I think my high score right now is around 570 points. You can play the game by clicking here. Feel free to leave a comment below. Even if you don't like it, you can say that too, it won't hurt my feelings!
