Permission granted by Mournblade.

Here is a video game I'm making: http://igg.me/at/blo...itter/x/2490486

Make sure you check the 'Gallery' section to see full screenshots of the game.

I am requesting donations. Here is what I can do if I get certain amounts of donations:

Total of $200 in donations - This game was meant for the mobile platform but I will try to reformat it for PC as best I can and will release it on PC. The money will be spent on a website, getting the presence of the game known, and possibly more. This isn't necessarily an ideal solution as the PC game market is saturated with AAA games, which this isn't, so it will be hard getting a presence known... but it is still a lot better than nothing.

Total of $600 - The game will be released for Android tablets on the Google Play store. This will pay for the hardware for testing as well.

Total of $1000 - I originally intended for this game to be released on iPad, but it turns out it is going to cost me a whole lot more than I thought. I will use the money to buy the software and Mac Mini needed for porting this game to the iPad, and will probably release it on Mac store as well for Macs.

The game features cool gameplay mechanices like tightrope, where you walk across a rope by clicking or tapping the screen but if you hold onto the button or screen too long, you fall. Kind of Warioware style. Then it also features, like I said in the campaign, pushing blocks to solve puzzles, in kind of a classic 2d Zelda style. The villain of the game has basically unleashed an army of polar bears who have invaded outside of their territory and is using magic to control dangerous Magic Flying Blocks.

The game has some talent behind it. A guy who is basically a professional artist has done the art, and better than I could, and one of the songs was composed by a guy who works in the game industry as a 3d artist and has a wide portfolio. So far I have spent $300 on this game and my wallet is pretty dry. However, I will do what I can, if no one wishes to donate. On $0, it may end up buried in a free games portal with a whole bunch of negative reviews from people who don't know how to play games. However if I do achieve even a goal of $200-$250, I will try to offer special bonuses exclusively to people here, not listed on the campaign. So tell your friends. (I'd do it for nothing but bonuses tend to take time or money.)

Either way though, if there is enough interest in general from the community, I will be providing a new demo of the game for Windows PC soon.

If you have any questions or concerns, I'm pretty much the guy you turn to for the game. Also, expect more screenshots of the game soon since the ones on the page hardly do the game justice.

If I had money to give, I would give it to you, I love indie games! It reminds me of the zelda and Pokemon levels where you have to push blocks on ice... If its not like that, I'm not an idiot I just don't know what it is.

I was once known here as KillerMario, but since I really like Banjo-Kazooie, I changed my display name to show them my respect :)

I would donate to you if I could, but I'm a broken college student. Hopefully you get funding for your game, though.

I've dabbled in programming languages but I prefer to use game IDEs with their own scripting languages.

I would, but I don't support mobile games.
If you got the $200 stretch goal, I would donate a little.

Here is a picture of the final boss, the polar bear king:

Demo to come shortly (within a few days). I have 30 levels done and the demo will probably have 12.

Update: PM me if you want to play the full version of my game, which I'm giving away for Windows PC free right now.
