  • I'll start by quoting the game's website:

    [quote:3oqyvoic]Phenomenon 32 is a free 2D exploration/platforming game with RPG elements.

    BACKGROUND

    In an alternate 1940s, scientists discover an extremely powerful and dangerous new area of physics, code-named Phenomenon 32. Years before it can be fully understood, the United States government uses it to create the ultimate weapon: the Reality Bomb, whose blast not only destroys matter, but shatters reality itself.

    By the 1950s, the Great Depression has reached an unimaginable low. With the threat of revolution and pressure from the multinationals on the inside, and the aggressive policies of Stalinist Russia on the outside, the government sees only one way of revitalizing the economy: war.

    Within less than a day, the Earth is gone. The Reality Bomb has done its work.

    Twenty years later, a small population of humans is still alive on the moon. Previously dismissed and laughed about as a waste of money, the Moon Colony is now humanity?s last shelter from the insanity of war. But the Moon Colony was never meant to be completely self-sufficient, and now resources are finally running out.

    There is only one place to get more.

    In a special ship designed to withstand the dangerous environments of Earth, you are sent to explore our former planet, to gather information for research, and to find all the materials needed for the Moon Colony to survive.

    But Earth is no longer the Earth we knew. Things have shifted; out from the cracks in reality, dangerous creatures have appeared. Radiation from Soviet bombs is widely spread; and in some places, reality itself is so fractured that not even your ship?s shields can protect you. Phenomenon 32 has turned the Earth into something? unknown.

    And the features:

    [quote:3oqyvoic]

    * Explore the strange world growing in the ruins of Earth.

    * Follow the story of humanity?s last survivors and their desperate attempt to secure a future for themselves.

    * Collect four different resources necessary for research and construction.

    * Find or research new technologies that allow you to explore new areas or defend yourself better.

    * Minimalistic black-and-white graphics designed to evoke the eerie mood of post-war Earth.

    * Non-linear progress through the game world.

    * Revisit levels to collect more resources or find new areas.

    * Full voice acting.

    * Music by BLUnderwood that will chill you to your bones.

    And yes, all of this was made with Construct. I think it's probably the biggest game to be made with Construct so far (I know some of you guys are working on big stuff, too). I can say with some certainty that it will not appeal to everyone - my games tend to either be hated or loved - but I hope some of you will enjoy it.

    Caution: it currently does not work properly on Windows 7. I started a thread about it, and could use your knowledgeable input about this. I may have made a huge game, but I know most of you are much more proficient at this than I am.

  • I really like this

    Its a -little- unforgiving, but what post apocalyptic world isn't

    My one gripe is I can't seem to shoot as fast as I would like, and sometimes, probably due to the frame rate, my bullets go through enemies without killing them.

    I do appreciate the amount of work that must have went into this and I think its awesome. i give it, 4.5 stars (out of five don't worry)

  • I'm downloading this right now! Haven't played any games in a long while so I hope it means something when I say that I'm actually excited to try this out. I'll let you know what I think after I've played a bit!

    edit:

    unfortunately, it keeps crashing on me at the opening cutscene right after something about a "data burst" ... probably has to do with my computer being old though haha

    Glad you like it! The fire rate can be improved on the workshop screen by collecting construction points. And yes, the thing with shooting through enemies is annoying, and I never figured out how to fix it.

  • Try Construct 3

    That's odd. What kind of system are you on?

  • <img src="http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/vinnyang/System.jpg"><img src="http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/vinnyang/Video.jpg">

  • Yep, this is the case of the system not being strong enough. Sorry .

  • Damn.

    I wanted to play it but my cpu falls under the old "SSE2 bug".

    Looks like an interesting game, though. Maybe I can try it out at a friend's house.

  • Kickyfm@ss game! This is definitely the largest and most polished Construct game I have seen to date. The music and voice acting was awesome, very professional sounding and really fit the game well. It was quite addicting yesterday and I explored all over the place for several hours. Unfortunately, the game locked up on me today and forced me to do a hard reboot and that wiped out the save file (apparently) because now when I start it back up it goes to the start off the game.

    Here is some feedback based on what I found:

    1. Don't write the save files/directory to the C:\. It should either go to the program files directory or to the users "My Docs" directory.

    2. Give an option for the user to have multiple saves. If only for helping to avoid wiping out the only save file you have. Strange enough, in the "Phenomenon 32 saves" directory I see three .ini files but I'm pretty sure there is only one save point.

    3. The game was interesting up to the point of working on later researching and buying some of the more advanced systems. This was starting to require some serious grinding and I found myself going back and back and back again to the same layout aimlessly collecting the same gems over and over again. It was fun at first, but after a couple hours I was starting to lose steam. Perhaps there would be a way to have more side quests that the user could do to avoid going back to the same areas. The other problem was they were "easy" resources and there wasn't good payback alot of times for going to the harder places.... so mining of the easy resources was encouraged. It was still on the whole very fun, but I think some improvements could be made.

    I don't think I have the motivation to start over again but here is the a screenshot of my progress before it crashed:

  • All your game's so far haven't disappointed me, this is no exception, the bleak and dark atmosphere of this game keep's it more interesting, great game Jonas, so far I haven't experienced any error.

  • so far I haven't experienced any error.

    Yeah, it was super stable for me too. I probably played for around 4-5 hours and it only crashed twice. Once when trying to start the program, and the second one that wiped out the save file. It's a bummer cause I really like this game.

  • Grinding was mentioned, is this an RPG or strategy?

  • Grinding was mentioned, is this an RPG or strategy?

    I'd consider it an action/adventure but it includes many common RPG tasks similar to leveling up. There wasn't any strategy that I could see.

  • Thanks, on dialup so large downloads are a pain if I'm not sure about what I'm getting. Rpg was the magic phrase though.

  • the game doesn't work for me, there is not even an error message. When i start the game a black screen appears then the game hangs, i have to use ALT+CTRL+DEL to exit the game. Downloading a 200Mb+ game on a 256K modem and finding that it doesn't work is not a nice experience.

    Here are specs of my PC if you need them:

    WinXP SP2 32 bit

    2 GB RAM

    ATI Radeon X200 graphics

    DirectX 9.0c (i'm sure i have the latest version)

    Anyways I liked the story i read on the website, but I have a one doubt, what is the meaning of destroying reality??
