Indie Brawl: Catmario

Catmario is a fairly light character with many tricks up his sleeve.

A: Scratches with his sharp cat claws.
A>: Leaps forward and scratches
A^: Kicks upward
Adown: bites low to the ground
S: Turns into giant muscle cat and drops on the enemy for massive damage. The downside is that if you don’t cancel out of it quickly you fall through the ground and die.
S^: Places an invisible coinblock below himself and bounces off it. The coinblock sticks around and damages enemies who hit their heads on it.
S>: Throws a sunglasses star that bounces along and damages enemies.
Sdown: Lays a barely-visible spike trap on the ground which will activate if any player walks over it.

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

I think that it’s a sad testament to the security of Windows XP/Internet explorer that you can contract a virus by simply visiting a site on the web.

Now, I will withdraw to my ivory tower of OS X… where there are no indie games :(

Is this an XP/IE only bug?
Am I safe if I’ve only used Firefocks? Is my vista box safe?
Frosty

I’ll pray for you Pandy Panda!

Satan is my God, also!
agh

I use Firefox3 and the Noscript-addon.
And Noscript blocked this virus even before my antivirus software had to handle with it.
So I think Firefox is safer.

Keeping the Cinco De Mayo Comicompo aliiiive! Sing it with me. (Seriously folks, who’s got that thing now?)

P.S. does this mean we get extensions on our demakes?

P.P.S. I agree. Policedanceclub IS suspicious. REFUTE.

Oh, also, I need thems forums bad. Power to The Progium. YOU CAN DO IT!
nayon

Melly

C’mon, little panda, you must eat if you want to be stronger. Please, eat. EAT! EAT YOU MOTHERFUCKER!

MUUUUUF.

also, why does everyone suspect me?

What.

This is going to be deleted, isn’t it
Flamebait

Can the TIGSource bigwigs at least post the bootleg demake competition rules somewhere else? I get the essence of the compo, but there are some points I can’t recall.

are you guys serious about the virus infecting through a website?

if so that’s a pretty high class virus, we should consider it a compliment :D

also the reason the panda is sad is that its not fucking, what it needs is some Barry White!
increpare

Maaaaan I miss you guys. MISS YOU GUYS.

Hope panda gets better soooooooooooon.

No forums and no demake updates make Noyb something something. Go crazy? Don’t mind if I do!

Christ. It’s been like 24 hours! Now is when we begin to lose all resemblance of reason or logical thought. It can only go downhill from here.

I’m starting to think this has nothing to do with a panda. In fact I was doing some research and it seems that websites have no correlation with pandas. Who would have guessed?

@slick: oh yeah, in that movie Ornella Muti was hot!
You need to watch the italian version of the movie, with her real voice acting: “Klytus, sono annoiata” :D

also, i like how a post about a sad panda can top the record of comments and totally destroy the average of 20-30 posts on news related to indie gaming xD

Haven’t read so many comments since that infamous “the underside” first trailer news.
Don Andy

There is no virus! They just took the forums down so the blog gets more love!
god

I hope he dies of Aids.

(I hate Pandas.. )
god

On the side note, at least now you don’t have that last haunting pic up on the front anymore. Congrats.. censorSource.

I agree that Smithy was behind this. I bet he snuck the virus in in his massive logger’s beard.
renkin

This game sucks.
Drakkar

BARRY WHITE IS PEOPLES, PEOPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GeneralValter

Eclipse: We’re just posting here because the forums are down.

Derek, make a Werewolf game VIII post on the blog so that we can continue from there!
slick

HEY GUYS, THE FORUMS ARE BACK UP!
slick

Ornella mutti is so hot in that movie, she said this sentence with the voice of Max von Sydow huh!

Maybe the server isn’t Y2K8 compatible. Massive meltdown and the eradication of humanity ensues. The prophecies have already foretold: “when the mighty tiger shall fail to rise from his deep slumber the Earth will tremble and the sky shall be torn apart to make way for the coming darkness.”

Now look at what you guys started.
Cheater

@slick:

You lied to me.
moi

JUST when I’m about to break the 1000 posts the forums “get a virus” huh?

I ACCUSE the bigwigs of TIGsource of trying to keep the little guy down.
You guys suck. DOWN WITH THE BIGWIGS.

Derek, you should update the Bootleg Demake post in here with all the rules while the forums are like this, or give a few days extension to the deadline later.

Doom is upon us if this keeps up. We’ll be doomed. Digipen style.
GeneralValter

Moi: I managed to break 300 just before the forums went down. Neener neener!

What’s disturbing is that TIGSource is already the #1 Google result for ‘sick panda’.

Also, forum withdrawal.
policedanceclub

Wow thats cool creepy.

Also moi

The robots did it, I just know it.

I say 666.

This’ll either summon Satan or fuck the whole world up with a massive EMP.

Actually I think the compo deadline can be moved earlier now, with the contestants actually working on their entries instead of lazing around in the fora :D
policedanceclub

:D

I feel the exact same way.
