Bees, flies, and angry bunnies

The game is 80% done.. which realistically means the game is half done, because the final tasks tend to be small but very large in quantity so it can all take longer than expected. I added some flying creatures that can snatch acorns on the branches, and annoying bunny rabbits that are small and difficult to shoot. My friend has a garden so he requested that the bunny be the most ruthless creature of them all. I don't look forward to balancing this game.. it's going to be the most time consuming and challenging task.


I'm glad that most of the interface work is out of the way. I've purposely avoided putting text on the screen because I estimate only 50-60% of the players will speak English, according to the statistics from Pigs Can Fly.


Some things I still have to do: main menu (if necessary), monster info ui, weapon upgrades, baby rockets for bazooka, fence/wall shake, a few effects, game over screen, game win screen, acorn indicator, audio and music.

Please please please say you're still going to name it "Defend Your Nuts". Even though I don't have nuts, I'd totally play a game for that name alone.

The game is looking great. I can't wait to see the finished project!

Okay :) Consider it named.

I'm so shocked all of this was 14 years ago. I'm not sure if you'll see this, Elliott, it seems like your blog is frozen in time. It's pretty eerie if you really think about it. I discovered both of your "Defend Your Nuts" games on an unblocked games website called Classroom 6x. I really have to say these games are amazing. I always play these games when I'm born during, and it's a really good time-passer. Again, I'm not sure if you'll see this at all. Hell, I feel like this over a decade game creating period during your life has ended and I believe your on to bigger and better things. Whatever it is, I hope you're doing well and thank you for the games.
