I stumbled upon my old game project today. I remember trying to use hl textures in a 2d game, and when I ran it I saw that t'was looking pretty good so I decided to work with it a little and got a working map with explosions!

Screenshot!

What do you think? :)

I think its already been done and valve would murder you for using their resources in another game, but do it anyway

Sweet. Shame you didn't beat Codename: Gordon to it.

It's a shame Codename: Gordon is crap, but will always be more popular if you ever released this.

Here's a link to a nice little game that can inspire you and help you improving your game. It's controls are good, graphics are amazing for it's time and most important it has a crosseir... something that lacks in Doom2D and Codename: Gordon.

Valve wont kill you since the game is based on one of their games. It will only give them publicty. After you finish it publish it in the steam forums. Maybe they'll accept it and make it official.

its a REALLY old concept anyway, 2d scroller games back in the amiga days had mouse aiming and keyboard moving

Codename: Gordon sucks :( Yours looks so much better. Cool idea to use HL1 textures. Is it done?

No matter what you do, you wont beat a game called "Abuse".

This IS the all time classic of this specific genere.

Seconded. It has some weak spots though. Like the part in a pit where you need to jump from a rail gun turret to another, and so on untill you reach the top of the pit... or even worse... the time they are missle turrets instead...

Another weak point is that usefull bug: the game doesn't remember the amount of health you had after you load a game. Great way to gain health but sometimes annoying if you have more then 100 health.

Metal Slug rocks.

Now, why the hell does everyone complain about C:G? Honestly, you've absolutely no grounds to say that it sucks. It's not like you were forced to pay for it. Personally, I thought it was a very cute, fun little game, even if did run badly on my CPU.

I agree with Ant, I think C:G is fun.

Hell yes, I've played that.
It's so awesome! I love a good old side-scroller now and then. ^^

But I must say, Lode Runner is the ultimate side-scroller of all time. No other has EVER come close to it, that I have played.
It was also the first game I ever had. ^^

But omg it's excellent !
