News:
June 27th; The final version of the game is now ready to download ! There has been a couple big modifications and a lot of bugs were fixed. First, the controls have now slightly changed. They are now simpler and more dynamic : Use the arrows to move, and press Alt to roll. New add-on : you will now roll in the direction you were facing, so it's still possible to do a charging roll attack with a little bit of practice, and don't forget the space button to shoot ! The medals system has been changed too, and one big thing has been added : The Intensive mode. If you finish the game and you still have some lifes left, you'll be able to use them all for getting the most points possible in the Intensive Mode. But beware.... this mode is not for the faint of heart.
May 6th; Good News ! The game is finally ready for you to try ! Keep in mind it's still the beta version, so if you find any bug or suggestions, you can contact ed_323@hotmail.com or jonathan.gagne@umontreal.ca (Please put "PC" in the email title), we will do our best to fix them the sooner possible ! So here it is
The Cochone's Pursuit Beta 0.1
The Game:
This game is an arcade-style shooter where you control a mythic creature called "flying cochon" evolving in eight high-in-color worlds, fighting hundreds of different foes for the search of a "flying cochone". This game was entirely designed and produced by Edouard Mercure with the help of Game Maker, a game designing program delevoped by Mark Overmars. You don't need any installation, and any moderate computer should be able to run it.* While remaining a simple game, this game might surprise you as much by its amazing toon graphics than its incredibly fun game play. You might ask : "Why a flying cochon... why a Pursuit ?" Well...
The game consists of 8 worlds containing each 3 parts in ascending difficulty. The beginners can always go through the first exit door, but they won't get as much points and might miss some bonus and items ! More advanced players can try to reach the second and third parts of each world, and they might get interesting things ! More than this, they can even jump one or two worlds if they wish to... but beware ! There is a mighty boss at the end of every third part. If you want a hint on how to get the best high score you can, try beating each three parts of each 8 worlds without losing a life !
Oh ! And by the way, the ones who can get a sufficient high score will be automatically posted online on the left-part of this very website ! But keep in mind: you need to be connected to the internet when you're playing if you want your score to be posted. All will be done automatically, thanks to vex.freehostia.com !
*You could experience problems with the game if you are running Windows Vista, please send us feedback if this happens to you.
Here are the highest scores... try to beat them and your name will be posted right here !!
In far away times, these mythic creatures called flying cochons were all living in peace, spending their lifes fulfilling their dreams and living their passions, until one day...
But one lonely flying cochon decided to quit his own village to find out what was going on...
The great Cochone Pursuit was started...
