| Excerpt | Explore a whimsical Nintendo 64 era world and discover its darkest secrets Catapult for Hire is an action-adventure RPG where exploration and puzzle solving are done with your skillful and creative use of catapults. No job is too big or too small, in this game you do it all. One moment you will be solving huge Zelda-like temples and in the next you are helping a gigantic lazy ogre complete his chores. Earn gold, find and unlock new catapults, fight epic bosses, craft new payloads, heck you can even go fishing. The story is a satirical look at modern issues in a medieval setting. You play an out of work knight during an economic meltdown who turns to freelance catapultry to make ends meet. Even in a whimsical world, life can be harsh. Experience triumphant victories and crushing failures. As you progress you find there are bigger powers at play and that your adventures have found you uniquely equipped to take them on. |
@chrisk - Could you provide fuller hardware specs for that netbook?
I know we've got 2Gb of RAM.
What about Make, CPU type and speed, HD size, native screen resolution, info about the graphics and sound subsystems, etc.?
Knowing that would make alternative OS recommendations easier.-40hz (February 06, 2014, 09:36 AM)
I increased the max bullet count by 2 and tripled the rotation speed and now the game feels a lot more fast paced and exciting.-Deozaan (February 05, 2014, 04:22 AM)
I like it a lot this way, I feel like I've got a chance, but more importantly it's also more fun en route-tomos (February 05, 2014, 09:09 AM)
It will stop rotating when it is pointing in the direction of your mouse cursor. Pixel perfect precision right there. (c:funny, I actually find it much more accurate than formerly, probably because it's quicker, I dont feel I have to keep rotating the mouse to get it there-Deozaan (February 05, 2014, 04:22 AM)-tomos (February 05, 2014, 09:09 AM)
I'm still playing it online via your site . have been meaning to downloadactually I'll do that
todaythis week.
But either online or standalone would be fine if you want to do that with the different builds.-tomos (February 05, 2014, 03:36 AM)
Have made it to 34k now, not sure what level that was though.-tomos (February 05, 2014, 03:36 AM)
If it rotated a *lot* faster though, I think it would be harder to be exact with where you're stopping to shoot.-tomos (February 05, 2014, 03:36 AM)

I just heard about SplashTop. I haven't used it myself, but from what I've heard, it's very fast (unlike TeamViewer, which takes forever sometimes to update the screen).FWIW I never found TeamViewer to take forever to do anything. It's as light or lighter than any other RD tool I've ever used. But I guess it really all depends on the the quality and speed of the network connection so YMMV.
It might be worth looking into.-Deozaan (February 03, 2014, 08:17 PM)

And here's the opposite opinion: http://sealedabstrac...-the-games-industry/-phitsc (February 04, 2014, 01:37 AM)
See, in the in-app purchase model actually predates phones. It predates video game consoles. It goes all the way back to the arcade, where millions of consumers were happy to pay a whole quarter ($0.89 in 2013 dollars) to pay for just a few minutes. The entire video games industry comes from this model. Kids these days.
But in fact, the model predates computers. I can trace it at least as far back as the Periscope mechanical arcade game from Sega in 1966 that offers to sell you ten lives for 25 cents ($1.80 in 2013 dollars).
And at market rates, I made almost $300 today for playing a silly game!

I'd recommend it.
