Cycloid
A downloadable game for Windows
Nonsense vintage stupid game, don't play it.
Seriously, this was the very first game I completed back in 2008.
I just uploaded to itch.io as a
If you really want to play this garbage:
You are just a ball that catch other balls and shoot at bigger balls.
It takes around 20 minutes to finish the Quest Mode and 2 hours to completely beat the game with all unlockables:
- 2 Additional Quest Modes
- 3 Extra Balls to shoot
- A new option in arcade mode
- 3 Secret Bosses
- They are all Free unlockables already in the game, no freemium bullcr*p here.
You can also play with your buddy, offline though.
This is a 16 years old game with MIDI music done by me, trashy but I put love into it.
If you want a spoiler on how to unlock anything specificallly just ask in the comment section, I'll help if I remember.
Extra development info: The game is old, created in 2008. I rebuilt it recently but using the same compiler and tools from back then. - The music was fully done by me and I didn't know much about composition, so don't hate me please. - The game was developed using C++ and allegro (no engine behind) - All art except fonts and BG images were done by me procedurally. - The game is hard to beat with all unlockables, make sure you do combos to get better scores to unlock extras modes.

This looks dank lmao
Thanks bro!
Refreshing to see a coded game without an engine. The ball concept I have not seen yet. For what it tries to be, it executes that well. Rating on a global scale is pointless, we all know that.
I suggest, should you not know those, look at bullet hell genre and the tempest remakes for inspiration. They are basically music videos with the frantic gameplay as the video. I could imagine that ball shooter (what a pun, hilarious) like one of those. Eye candy, ear candy and splosions. Best played with a stick, I guess. Mandatory with shooting from balls (ok, I stop with the puns now). But seriously, that is arcade gaming.
Older than itch. Do not make me go on tvtropes. Please. I need sleep.
hahahahah... I'm glad you liked! XD
