You Go Boom

Jeb dreams of one day becoming a big game developer and he's created a bunch of cheesy arcade games that he wants people to play-test for him. But he doesn't want any girls because he thinks girls aren't any good at video games. Lilith will try to show him just how wrong he is.

About the Game

You Go Boom is a game created by one person, using only three different programs (Gdevelop - the game engine, Studio One - for music & sounds, Clip Studio Paint - for all graphics). For the most part, YGB is a collection of simple games with simple controls. Some games require you to complete the level, while others are endless, high score challenges.

Features

* Lightweight - under 300MB install size, low system requirements (just about any windows PC made in the last 10 years, with a 3D card, should be able to run it)

* Variety - a total of 18 mini games, many different genres including platformers, vertical shooters, horizontal shooters, tower defense, pinball, shooting gallery, etc...

* Unlockable items - lots of little things to discover and unlock, an evolving/customizable title screen and shooting gallery game

* 2 Modes of play - try your hand at story mode or just jump straight into arcade mode

* No Saving/Loading - high scores and story progressions are automatically saved and loaded, no need to deal with save files, quit anytime you like (outside of a mini game or story intro) and continue later
