Opossum Massage Simulator [arcade]

Yup, this video and the massage one were my biggest inspiration.

I saw the massage one in 2010 but I didn't notice the alien one until a few months before making this game.

Lol, I find that to be a funny backstory xD

Remember, though, that the arcade, PC and TI-Nspire versions of this game were ported from the 84+CSE version by @gameblabla , though, and the story is different. Also, the ticalc.org and Cemetech versions of the CSE game don't mention Trump:

Quote from: Original version2017 AD - Earth is in danger. Opossums are your last hope. Their instinct let them detect aliens.

So US leader Donald Trump got BruceLee's relative Chin out of retirement for his new massage skills.

Possum requires good massage to be happy. Massage him so he repels aliens back into space!!

Quote from: Abridged version (ticalc.org and Cemetech)2017 AD - Earth is in danger. Opossums are your last hope. Their instinct let them detect aliens.

So US leader got BruceLee's relative Chin out of his retirement for his new massage skills.

Possum requires good massage to be happy. Massage him so he repels aliens back into space!!

Quote from: Gameblabla's version2017 AD - Trump's now president and promised his voters to ban aliens from murica.

Aliens felt offended by that and now, they want to kill all humans on earth for good. Earth is now in danger and opossums are our only hope.

Possums requires good massage to be happy. Massage him so he repels aliens back into space!! Good luck!

That is funny. I wonder if that is on purpose.

In any case, the backstory is quite entertaining, did you put it in the readme?

u/gameblabla May 15, 2016, 05:17:23 AM

I have decided to improve it a bit.

I have added some sound effects and music to the game and it now comes with a new font.
The story was tweaked too (with some engrish at the end), here's how it looks like now :
[spoiler]
2017 AD
Trump is now president of the USA.
As promised, he will ban aliens from murica.

Aliens felt offended by that.
After much debate,
the alien assembly decided to invade earth
and kill all humans on it.

Earth is now in danger.
Opossums are our only hope.

However, opossums need to be massaged
to repel the aliens back.
Please chin, save our god, protect murica...
FOR GREAT JUSTICE !!!

Good Luck !

I have updated the Windows and the TI Nspire port.
However, Juju needs to update the arcade version so if you can juju,
that would be really nice.

QuoteThat is funny. I wonder if that is on purpose.

Yeah, more or less.
I thought DJ omnimaga's story could be improved so i tweaked it a little.

Haha I like the update actually. I saw the Nspire version now on ticalc.org looked different so I checked Github and downloaded the Windowss version. I was gonna poke @Juju to update the arcade copy.

This update is closer to the original at least, since it mentions Chin.

(the CSE version is an unnoficial sequel to Hong Kong 97)

(also if you add @ before someone's nickname on the forums it notifies them via e-mail if they have that enabled)

EDIT: Also the engrish in the CSE version was intentional, but it was also because I could only display 20 characters per line.

Yep, I'll update when I get to it.

u/Dream of Omnimaga May 16, 2016, 06:11:39 AM

@gameblabla by the way there is an issue with the new version: There's no sound, even though your post and the readme says there is. I am on 64 bits Windows 7, by the way.

Yeah, sorry. Sound was not enabled in the Windows build, oops.
It's fixed now, re-download it please.

u/Dream of Omnimaga May 16, 2016, 06:55:13 PM

Yay! It works now

I should make a Youtube video of the game (and retitle the CSE one to specify it's the original CSE version)

EDIT: Suggestions:

-Make the music so that it either never stops or at least resumes where it left off after closing the title screen. Or maybe make the music starts immediately at the I Wanna Be With You portion once gameplay starts. Otherwise we never really reach that part of the song lol.
-Make Donald Trump picture the same resolution as the two other pics, for the sake of consistency.

EDIT: There is now a Youtube video of the PC version in action
