Maniacally Obese Penguins Present...

Flauncy Space Cows

Introduction

Well, it's been a wicked ride over the past few months, but after much work, we have completed (at least for the time being) our Asteroids clone, Flauncy Space Cows. The process began in February 2006 and has taken up far too much of our time until today, May 8. Version 1, which is not available on this website, was completed by: Kyle and Katie then extended the work to include the two-player option, an interactive opening screen, and high-scoring abilities (as well as small, quirky improvements that align with our twisted sense of humor).

The Story

Flauncy is a simple penguin farmer trying to make a living in the impossible conditions of space (and people complain about the midwest!). Unfortunately, the zero-gravity environment has transformed his well-meaning group of farm animals into an unavoidable death-trap. What's more, killing off his animals only makes them morph into smaller animals, and every time they seem to be gone, a new supply of cows is sent up to his space-farm. Flauncy must maneuver around his farm animals, destroying as many as possible before they destroy him (believe it or not, one of our group actually is a vegetarian, so no complaining).

Design Document

Here is our design document. We have strayed a little bit from our original ideas in this version, but the general game is the same.

Source Code

Unfortunately, you need to build a java application from the source files because we haven't managed to make a .jar file, but here are all the pieces you need to be able to experience the craziness of Flauncy Space Cows.

Screen Shots

No game website is complete without the amazing-looking screen shot, right? Well, here you go.
