Coming Soon: ‘The Lake’

Jul 21
2006

I’m working on a new Flash game that should be ready in a few days.

In The Lake the player controls a fish who swims along at the bottom of the screen. The object of the game is to jump out of the water and catch mayflies fluttering above the lake. The controls are quite simple: hold down the mouse button to make the fish dive down, and release to make him jump. The deeper the dive, the higher he will jump. You have to time your jumps right to catch as many flies as possible—bonus points are awarded for catching multiple flies in a single jump.

All the game play and graphics are finished—I’m just working out some bugs and refining things a little before I publish it. I expect to have it out early next week.
