Well you go around and little dots shoot out your backside.  You're trying to hit the enemy with them, and not be hit by his dots.  Very easy to do, but it takes forever to get his health all the way down (and you have to be really bad to get hit by him).  Supposedly the fluid (the cool green and blue stuff) affects the 'bullets' but as far as I can tell it doesn't do much.  It is a little bit more fun with multiplayer (I played with my little brother) but not much - it takes a long time to get the health all the way down.
The funniest thing happened yesterday.

We are back with 6 new games, 2 new reviews, and a staff change. cha0s is no longer with the FBGD project (we came to a mutual understanding), but we have a new arrival - hexdude. I wish him many hours slaving over my FBGD staff job requests.

*evil laughter*

Hrm...that was redundant.

Anyway, be sure to check out the games and perhaps post a user comment.

Oh yes, we passed the 100 games landmark as of this update. A reason to celebrate? I don't know.

I agree with the contents of this update.  I didn't manage to score the new Explode! - But I must say that the latest version is much better.

Yet another update. 5 games this time, and a RPG maker.

Quite few nice entries this time.

And all this without any help from my staff members. Hrmpf!

Hey Lachie, sorry I haven't been around, if been away for 5 days. Trying to write you something whilst packing on monday didn't really work, so I'll try to make up for it by writing something today.

You can't make up for it now. It's all over now! Gone! Forever!

It will never be the same!


Wah!  :'(


Someone help me please!


Anyway, don't worry about it. Just don't make it a habbit or else...

I just can't remain serious.

Boondog download and description updated to version 1.2.

Score increased to 15. :)

One screenshot added.

mambazo, any future Boondog update will have to be of the final version.

I have a week off and I feel apathic.

@Lachie
If you downloaded the installs for my games before 12pm EST on 8/25 , there is a bug in the desktop shortcut that does not change the working directory to the game directory, so the EXE does not find any of the resources. If so please re-download them from my web site... www.imakegames.com

Thanks
-Vince
Cheers!
-Vince

It seems I forgot to upload the setup files completely. Ack! And the server is giving me problems right now.

I'll upload the latest setup files ASAP.

BTW, zipping the setup files is a bad idea. I'm talking here about your website. Provide both the setup files and game files zipped. Some hate setup files (as me), and would like to have an alternative.

Why is that? You hating setup files and all... ??? BTW: Some firewalls do not allow downloading EXEs or receiving them through e-mail which is why I have a habit of ZIPing them.
