<div class="trow2" style="display:none; padding:4px; margin:1px;">

  Among the farthest reaches of the universe, there is a fairy-inhabited galaxy known as the Fairy Galaxy. Amongst this galaxy is a lush planet called Pix. The fairies that live there call themselves the Pixies, and they flutter about with their wings and enjoy a peaceful lifestyle. All of that is about to change.

One day, everything on planet pix seems to be like any other day, blissful and quiet. Suddenly, a dark haze envelopes the entire planet, blocking out the sun and covers the land with darkness. Several comets suddenly drop from this haze, crash-landing all over the planet.

Hostile creatures started to appear from the comets. They attack the citizens and wreak havoc wherever they go, sending this once-peaceful world into a panic. Up in the dark sky, a cloaked figure gazes upon the mayhem and laughs. The Space Demon, Sir Grimm of Darkness, has arrived to conquer the planet.

Among the violence caused by the monsters, a small, green-haired fairy rushes to a shrine. She bows down and makes a wish to the stars, her message became a star and flew off into space. Somewhere among the Fairy Galaxy, a space ship hovers slowly, carrying a sleeping, white-haired fairy wearing pink boxing gloves and a star-stubbed tank top. Suddenly, the ship sounds an alarm, awaking the fairy abruptly. The alarm has detected a wish to a Galaxy Warrior, and a planet is in deep trouble. This young warrior's name is Tinabom, and she sets her ship to warp speed to travel to the planet Pix.

While this little fairy doesn't really know what she has to do yet, she has a feeling that she is about to do something big for her small size.

Tinabom "Tina" Halley

Age: 130 (Equivalent to about 13 or 12 in human years)
Species: Star Fairy
Tinabom Halley was originally a denizen of planet Pix. She possessed a rare elemental property called the "Star Element", giving her the ability to absorb the power of stars in the universe. Recently, she enlisted herself as a Galaxy Warrior, an interplanetary militia whose job is to protect the galaxy from destructive forces, such as Lord Grimm. She currently undergoing training until she has met the qualifications in becoming a true Galaxy Warrior.
Tina has an optimistic view of the world, and she tends to care little about what other people think of her. Since she was a little fairy, she was obsessed with punching people and pulling pranks. She can also be very brash and disobedient, even to the higher authorities in her Galaxy Warrior division. Regardless, she has a caring heart, and can't stand it when she witnesses injustice. Ultimately, Tina's goal is to make sure that there is peace in the universe.

Dori O. Rion:

Age: 120 (about 12 -11)
Species: Grass/Woodland Fairy
Dori is an orphan fairy who lives on planet Pix. Her parents were interplanetary adventurers who, due to a tragic accident, lost their lives while away from their home planet. Since then, she developed a very withdrawn personality and is overly emotional. She is often teased by other fairies due to her sheepishness. When push comes to shove, however, she does show signs of courage.
Dori was the only fairy to call upon the Galaxy Warriors when Lord Grimm invaded the planet. Unfortunately, she was captured and imprisoned by Grimm just as soon as the message was sent. She has always desired to have a friend, will her wish ever come true?

Lord Grimm:

Age: He's been around since the beginning of life
Species: Space Demon
It's a mystery as to where Lord Grimm originated from, or what he really is. All that is known about him is that he was originally meant to be a creator of Tina's galaxy, but was turned away due to his evil influence.
Grimm tends to hate everything that is not his own creation, and feels great pleasure when those other creatures suffer. He wants to rule the galaxy and replace existing life with his own, creating monsters to do his bidding.
Now, he is targeting the planet of Pix, sending his beastly creations to take over the planet and remove the fairy race. Can you stop him?</div>

<div class="trow2" style="display:none; padding:4px; margin:1px;">

NORMAL GAME
Fool Ghoul:

Slow in both movement and thinking, Fool Ghoul is considered one of Grimm's worst creations. It floats gently around the area, going wherever it pleases. When Tina is powered up, it will start running away like a coward.

Bonehead:

This creature looks like a skull with glowing, yellow eyes and two legs attached to the bottom of its head. It moves just as slow as Fool Ghoul, yet it is smart enough to follow wherever Tina goes.

Marty:

Marty looks like a bat with two horns and a single eye. Because it is flying, it can pass any block. Movements can vary, though predictable.

Wheelin:

An enemy that resembles a wheel with an angry look on its face. It moves quite fast, yet only in one direction.

Bon:

Bon looks like a smiling head covered in flames. It moves a little bit faster than Fool Ghoul or Bonehead. Once in a while, it will get tired and take a nap.

Targit:

Targit looks like a target symbol with a face. He exists only in the bonus level of the game. Smash away!

Perforato:

If you run out of time in a level, all remaining monsters will transform into this spiked creature. It is invincible, and comes at you fast. To put it short: if you see this monster, you are done for!

CHALLENGE GAME
Imi

Replaces "Fool Ghoul" in the Challenge Mode game. This gooey cyclops slithers around the field baring a blank stare. It's not much faster when compared to Fool Ghoul or Bonehead, but it changes direction much more erratically.

<div class="trow2" style="display:none; padding:4px; margin:1px;">

Tina of the Stars is an action game with a focus on clearing the level within a given time. The objective of the game is to clear out all monsters on the screen. Unfortunately, Tina is very weak early on and a single touch from an enemy can kill her. However, every level is filled with stars for you to collect. Once you get all the stars in a stage, you can achieve your "powered" form and go on a rampage!

>Arrow Keys/Joystick: Move Tina around the field.

>Action Button: Punch (Only when Tina has collected all of the stars on the field).

>"A" Key (or whatever you assigned to be button "X" in the configuration window): Pause the game.

... That is all you need to play Tina of the Stars!

Game Objects:
HUD: These include you Lives and a timer. You are given a maximum of 3 lives in the game. If Tina comes in contact with a monster outside of her powered form, she will lose one life. If all lives are lost, then the game is over.


Tina can recover lives in two ways. The primary way is by eating a magical fruit called a Peacheak, which appears randomly when an enemy is defeated in Tina's powered phase (you will hear a sound confirming its presence). The second is by successfully clearing the 2nd bonus stage in the desert world of the game. Note that both life gains will only occur if you are below 3 lives.

Every level has a unique amount of time for you to complete, displayed at the upper right hand corner of the screen. If the timer runs out, the "Perforato" enemy will appear and kill Tina, costing you a life. It is recommended that you keep moving to collect stars and defeat foes to avoid running out of time.

STARS: Stars are scattered about each level. Tina must collect all these in order to obtain invincibility and defeat the monsters in the field. There are certain areas, like the bonus games and final boss battle, that don't require stars to complete.

MONSTERS: Every area, except for bonus games, has a certain amount of monsters you need to defeat. Initially, Tina is vurnable, as if she comes in contact with a monster before collecting all the stars, she will lose a life. However, when Tina becomes powered, she is immune to monster attacks and can defeat them by walking straight into them. The "punched" monster will be launched towards a wall and explode, turning into a gold coin. Tina may collect these coins to convert to bonus points at the end of a level.

Special Areas:
BONUS GAME #1: This is a game where you attack as many "Targit" enemies as possible to gain points. The game ends once the timer runs out.

BONUS GAME #2: This is a memory game. Tina is required to form a shape out of pink blocks within a given set of time. If Tina touches a "good" block, the block will be destroyed, but if Tina touches a "wrong" block, the game will end, and no bonuses will be rewarded.

FINAL LEVEL: This is the only boss fight in the game, the time where Tina finally faces Lord Grimm himself. Put your skills to the test and defeat Grimm for the good of your planet!

Tips:
- Try to learn the movement patterns of the enemies in the game. You can find ways to exploit these patterns to your advantage.

- You do not need to collect all of the gold coins that pop out from monsters to clear the level. If you are running out of time, make some sacrifices.

- The faster your clear time, the more bonus points you will receive during the end of a level.

Demo is up! Check the first post.

Complete repost from RRR. :P

Instead of repeating the same mini game where you smash as many monsters as possible, I decided to do something different for the bonus level that comes after level 4.


A puzzle idea that was implemented in games such as Kirby and Bomberman. The object of this game is to break the blocks so that the blocks remaining would form a given shape, which is a star in this case.


If you try to break a block that is necessary to make the shape, the mini game ends and you get nothing. I'm considering an alternative result so that the punishment won't be as harsh, however.

If you do break the correct blocks, you will receive a wallop of points and an extra life.

At the moment I'm STILL working on the hand-drawn intro and considering on making the shapes of this mini game random as oppose to just a star.

Also, it seems I didn't put the video up on this board. Check it out!

[DerVVulfman]

I'm surprised. :) I knew that it wasn't just another LOLZ GURLS game given the detail you put into this, but an arcade-style platform/puzzle game? Sweet.

[Ratty524]

I've been making serious projects before making joke games, but I guess my jokes were a lot more well known then my attempts at making serious games. :P

Being tired of working on "full" games, I decided to keep working on this game, which was originally for a short games contest.

[Iceplosion]

Yep, Ratty's actually taking this game seriously, he started it for RPGM's mini game contest and didn't submit it because he wanted to finish it properly.

I'm still looking forward to it ^_^

[Sporky]

That looks interesting Ratty! I love the artwork... Is that the Breeze sprites? First game I've seen them look great in

The tileset (except for one set that I'm making) are breeze tilesets. The charactersets were made by me, however, using the same types of color palettes that were part of the Breeze characters/tilesets. That was done so that they would match.

New Title text design
At first I was against using the text tool, but it was cleaner to do so. After some research I was able to find a font I like, so now feast your eyes on this comparison!

Old...

NEW!

The title text isn't all I've changed. The lives/timer display has changed as well!

The cleanliness, the beauty! You cannot resist such a sight?

In addition, a new bonus game after level 4.

After the fourth level, you be transported to a random map. Each map requires a different shape to be made. There are a total of 4 possible maps for now.

All screenshots will be added to the first post. Stay tuned for more updates!

[DerVVulfman]

Looks fine to me. New minigames too? Nice.
