Hi all, thought I'd let you all see some pics of my first GP2X game. I wasn't going to announce anything until the game was finished but it's coming along so well I couldn't wait to share. :D

The game is a clone of slingo, there are a few differences but the basic gameplay is intact. For those who don't know it's a cross between a Slot machine and Bingo and despite being a game of luck is surprisingly addictive and great if you have a few minutes to spare.

At the minute it has a choice of 10 different skins (though that will probably increase before release) and is very close to completion (may even be ready before Xmas). The core mechanics are in place I just need to implement a few more rules, sound needs to be added and I need to make a few more images.

That's it for now. Pics are below.

That looks really fun, did you do the graphics we see or are they from the original?

I've never played slingo before, but the screens for this look awesome! Really great artwork; very professional! :D

I often get addicted to the mini games you get in rpg games, which is what this seems vaguely reminiscent of. I'm really looking forward to this release now!
 
Thanks for all the comments, I hope that you'll be pleased with the finished article.

How come you didn't enter this into the community game contest? Not enought time to get a workable version? Looks nice btw.

Would have loved to have entered it but I haven't had the 2X long and only got round to having a go at coding this week, couldn't decide what to do for my first project, so many ideas and so little time. ;) I only started making this on Monday although I did have some of the graphics already done before then. Hopefully there will be another contest next year and I'll definately enter. (That reminds me, I have to check out the games that were submitted, haven't had chance yet.)

The blue space freak stays for now, but don't worry I plan to feature him in another game and you'll be able to kill him repeatedly.

Plants have both Stamen and Stomate, and are capable of a sexual reproduction, provided they can get pollen from one to the other.
