WINTER 2011 – CAPTAIN CONDOM (FLASH PLATFORM/ARCADE GAME)
School project – Spring term, first year of university

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
For our final assignment in the Flash and ActionScript course, we were to, under a week’s time again, make a short game involving some simple guidelines that we had to follow. We were to include a minimum of three animations and draw inspiration from one or more of the following, well-known Flash games; Canabalt, Bunny Invasion, Fishtank(?) and Winterbells. At first, I was going to make a Canabalt-inspired game, but in the end it turned out to be something of a more acrade-y feel, with a bit of elements very loosely taken from Canabalt and Bunny Invasion.

Captain Condom VS The Virgin Supremacists is sort of a prequel to a game I’ve yet to make, also starring the heroic and brave Captain Condom. The idea of a condom-clad superhero originally came to me during a conversation with one of my classmates, during which the idea for the character and a possible game popped up. I won’t reveal too much about that original game idea, since I still intend to make it someday

Since the original idea was a bit of very large proportions, being an action platformer spanning across several big levels with bosses and powerups and so on, I decided to first try out the character’s appeal and design in a smaller Flash game for the course at school.
The result is a very simple action platformer, with a visual style inspired by old cartoons and the only real goal of the game being beating your previous high score. High scores are not stored, however, so everytime you’d reload the game, it would be reset. Probably a simple fix, which might even see the light of the day. As for right now though, high scores are reset upon ‘leaving’ the game.

There’s not much else to say. Enjoy the game, and remember these simple things;

• I am in no way reliable for any issues that running this game may cause. It has been tested on several systems and seems to work fine, but should it not run properly, then report to me either via the contact page, or via the comments field on this page.
• The game’s overall style and execution is intended to be of humorous nature, and should not be taken seriously.

If you’d like to give some general feedback, just leave a comment at this page. I appreciate general feedback and/or constructive criticism. Thanks!
