My very first submission on the front page :D INSERT COIN: Pico N' Me (concept and art by DoodleBin). I was thinking i would never get this game down it time, the game didn't even have half it's levels or any bosses a couple of days ago.

I started programming this game from scratch 2 weeks ago using AS3 which I've never used before. I used to just use AS2 but after i started a programming course and saw how easy it was to learn a new language (we learnt Visual Basic and basic Javascript) i thought why not give moving to AS3 a go.

There's some bugs a possible tweaks i'll be looking into but for now I hope this short list of techniques will help some people pass those pesky levels (especially the 1st one! :P).
--------------------------------------
- The most common way to destroy a 'Monster' door (those things that respawn the shooting enemies) is to jump up and down at the right time to dodge the laser going from the guys spawning from it and tap down and shoot to shoot down at the door and possibly hit a couple of heads. Though doing this doesn't always let you dodge all the lasers, so be careful.

- A plain awesome technique for the first level that i made up is; to run to the to the level to lure the worms and run back and jump on the lockers to the very left of the level and aim down and kill them (also killing shooter enemies that followed). Once they worms are dealt with just do the same again but to lure ALL the enemies as far left as you can and the rush back to the right of the level where all the 'monster' doors are and do as much damage as you can as they slowly make their way back, rise and repeat if you have to.

- Some small rooms have cakes such as the; mens toliets and the closet in the basement (just before the Pool boss), if you're running low on health and cakes go in these rooms after you clear the level you're in for that extra cake BUT beware: doing so will mean you have to clear the level you were in just before to be able to use another door there (that includes these cake rooms, which means you can get max cakes just by going in and out of these rooms).

- After you beat the 1st boss in the Pool you go into the cafe which afterwards leads you to a small hallway and then a classroom. In the classroom you can skip the WHOLE battle, just rush up stairs by jumping on the stuff on the ground and drop down the whole into the next room where Darnel is, get the key off him and rush through the door next to high (you don't even have to destroy the living wall thing) and then you can go straight into the gym where the final boss is from there. :D

- For the final boss i found the best way to avoid him is to run straight to the edge of the level and do a run up towards him and jump straight over his head (taking not damage what-so-ever). Repeat this until he starts spawning enemies, then shoot him like crazy while of course avoiding those newly spawned enemies until the Boss gets back up and you have no choice but to kill him to continue the battle.

That's it and i hope you have/had fun playing our game. :D

Oh and i'm going to be working with DoodleBin on another game (already started but on hold for now) in the future and will be out later this year! So look out for that one.
