Primitive Nightmare for the Sega Dreamcast Review #22

[Lazyhoboguy]

I have played this game for a bunch of hours and I really like it. I think I will upload a complete playthrough when I get some time. I made it up until wave 42. On waves 6, 10,20,30,40 etc probably. On those waves u have unlimited ammo. I didnt realized this until a few playthroughs as well. I find the tractor beam is a great idea for gameplay. I think it would be way too easy if it sucked in powerups too. Basically it seems like its more of a dodging game than a shooting game.

@Lazyhoboguy Damn youtube comment limits made my previous one sound all disjointed in order to make it fit the limit lol. I will say my whole opinion on it when I upload a playthrough of it.

@Lazyhoboguy Yeah the creator of the game commented on it and he makes a good point about the tractor beam. It is a really amazing game and really addictive. :D I'm thinking of asking him to be a guest on my podcast some time in the future.

This video inspired me to get a Dreamcast (well I wanted one anyway), but this game sealed the deal for me.

I wonder how much work it would take to port to wii homebrew? .dol format

[JerryTerrifying]

The developer of this game has a youtube account and he posted a comment on this video. I don't know jack shit about programming anything more complicated than a VCR :D So I'd ask that guy. His username is FusekiGames.

Thanks

The Fenix runtime (the language I used to write the game) would have to be ported to the Wii. That's currently wayyy beyond my expertise. But if it was ever done, I'd port my game in a hot minute...

did you just say Mondo Cool via Krillian of DBZ fame.....I think I made the right choice in subscribing.

[JerryTerrifying]

You sir are 100% correct! I love that scene...especially when Vegeta agrees that the space armour is indeed Mondo cool. And we all know KRILLENS IN THE HOUSE!

badass

p.s. I'll add this video to the site. Once again, thanks for taking the time to review the game!

[JerryTerrifying]

I'm glad you took the criticism well. I noticed in another vide on here that the blasters were unlimited in the survival stages so I will take that into my next session.

I still stand by wanting the OrbMag to work on the blaster ammo. There's been a lot of times in regular stages where I'm out and 2 ammo pods are basically inside and enemy and I don't want to take one or more hits getting to it . In those cases I'd rather just try to clear the wave.

[FusekiGames]

Thanks for the review! I really appreciate it.

The non-VMU saving is a limitation of Fenix. I'm working on fixing that one (need to adapt my code to a different version of DC Fenix), since it is a game of high scores (like the ones I played as a kid in the early 80s). It's a feature I'd like to enable (the code is in there).

Blasters are unlimited in the survival waves (note to self- add infinity symbol to rev 2), so blast away!

Orbmag critique: think strategy. Think shields!

What a trip. This game reminds me of an Old School arcade game I used to play when I little.

Sometimes reading the comments is so satisfyingly funny. Nice dick joke.
