Why watch the video when you can play the game now…

Obligatory description:

“A bit like Pang” (lol)

  • PoV

    Yeah, wow. It’s totally like Pang/Buster Bros, but you can shoot in multiple directions. Is this “Super Obliteration” actually an existing game, or is this an iterative improvement to Pang?

  • David

    More like a exceedingly lame ripoff from Pang/Buster Bros. It’s a waste of time and effort folks, move along..

  • caffeinekid

    It is a remake of an Amiga game of the same name from 1993. I used to love it (and Pang of course) so I’m making a PC version.

    Thanks for the support, David. ;)

  • Jake Birkett

    aha “interative improvement” is that the new buzzword for “clone” ;-)

    Anyway, I think I recall the Amiga game too, long time ago…

  • Wolverine

    It’s great fun. Used to love Pang myself but am enjoying this more. I like being able to shoot at angles too.

    Certainly isn’t a waste of time. Most fun I’ve had from an indie game in the last month or so.

    i think dave f**ks horses

  • Mr_Staypuft

    I’ve played it, and it’s quite fun.

    Did you _play_ it David?

  • sparkes

    David, let’s see your games then so we can compare them side by side.

  • notfuckingjill4eva

    if you’ve made any LOL

  • jammy jeff

    You’re getting him mixed up with “Harry Potter in and The Boy Who Fucks Horses In The Nude” which is that new play in London. Or something like that, anyway.

    LOL

    Earth calling Dave, come in Dave. Ground control to major Dave… ??

    The original was great, this remake is great. Just forget the idiots that didn’t even know there was an original, they are 14 and were brought up on a diet of FPS’s and MMO’s. Sucks to have missed the blossoming glory days of computer gaming.

  • moi

    What a disappointement, I watched that video thinking it would be a remake of ObliteraTOR.

  • Infamous

    Its 100% accurate to the original which cuts out the middleman of having to mess around with emulators (have you tried to set up winuae? after trying that i reckon im ready to fly a shuttle for nasa.) The graphics stick to the original feel very well, im sure if someone stepped up and offered their services to update the gfx caff would be more than pleased to obliged. the sound = perfect (and thats because im biased :p)

    gameplay… yes its pang but back then it was FREE pang… free pang with turri.. can (could have been its sale pitch that). and for its simplicity was a much lauded game by amiga power (and mainly stuart campbell who seemed to want to marry it) and its not lost its charm now, except for them flying invincible blue things… gah!.

  • hm

    is it done yet?

  • caffeinekid

    Nope. lol

    I still have a few days before my self imposed deadline is up though.

  • caffeinekid

    Ummm, the full version is out now (for Windows only so far) if anyone is interested. :)

    The online scoreboard is getting a hammering by someone called “The Fear” who needs some competition. lol
