"140" a little game worth the try

I order you to forgive yourself!

I got the game 140 from the current Humble Bundle sale. And I had quite a lot of fun even though I beat the full game in ~40 minutes.

The game is in every way like the bounds I used to play in Starcraft Broodwar. They actually managed to make defeat feel fun. So even when you lose it feels rewarding somehow.

Math + Physics + StarCraft = Zoan



Man, that's awesome! And it's nice just listening to it in the background too

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

I like how it's a blend of classic jump'n'runs and bounds. (though I don't like both genres)
I really like how they integrated gameplay elements into the music.

The music and sounds effects manage to sell their style really well. I'm hoping for a longer more developed sequel.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
