ROM CHECK FAIL - fubar indie game

[BloodShed]

Ever played Super Mario only to find the game goes haywire and you are suddenly playing as Pac-Man in Space Invaders?

Rom Check Fail is a game that will randomly change your game character and environment.

Can you survive this madness?

This just has to be one of the more brilliant things I've played recently. :D

What was that? I was just playing, when I suddenly got a text saying "Game over". What happened?

You lost all 3 of your lives :) (believe it or not there's actually levels in this game)

Basically when you're in one game you have to destroy all targets in it before you romcheckfail over to the next.

Actually the number of enemies (and their locations, along with any obstacles in the level) stay the same. How they act/react differs though :)

I've been having fun today playing this. It's easy to get into, doesn't demand much of my time and provides gameplay I didn't know I missed.

Thanks! :)

I got how it worked now. Very weird, but funny.

I mean, Space invaders in Super Mario?

Funny little game :D Made it to level 13, some of the combinations are impossible to survive.

There are end screens in Rom Check Fail. I wasn't aware there was a conclusion to the game or I might have aimed to hit it sooner. It really isn't hard at all.

The ending (after level 20) is a distortion-transitioning mish-mash of old school game endings. Somebody saved me the trouble of uploading the vid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kCEs1Vc3JQ

Oh, it appears the game starts over after that and plays much faster! ... I died! :doh:

I didn't like this game at all. Sure, it's a funny concept, but it's just not a fun game.
