ArcticXC

If you're not aware, Blast Works is based off of Tumiki Fighters which is a game made by Kenta Cho of ABA Games. There you will find some of the best freeware shooters ever created.

It seems Majesco (developed by Budcat) has liscenced his work and made it into Blast Works, which initially just seemed to be a port of Tumiki Fighters. Somewhere along the way it became a sort of Game 2.0 where you can customize basically anything, and create your own levels and characters and enemies and then share them with friends or just put your creations on the web.

Unfortunately the multiplayer seems to be local, but it would seem that the customization is the big draw for this game anyway. Some reviews have come in and it does seem to be getting fairly good reviews: http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/941651.asp

There is a website for the game here: http://blastworksgame.com/
And the Depot is already online if you want to check it out: http://blastworksdepot.com/

I'm mostly just looking forward to seeing what is made from this, but I'm pretty sure that 90% of everything made will just be flying dongs.

Anyway, here are some links if you want to get more info or see more screens:

See, I was excited till I read it was only for the Wii.

SirUltimos

I am seriously considering picking this up. I love Kenta Cho's work and having all of this in one package I'm able to play from my couch, and have all the customization is fucking awesome.

What are those gigantic sub-weapon growths that shoot out of the ship for a second?

In Tumiki Fighters, whenever you kill an enemy you can grab their corpse and it'll attach to your ship. The enemy will then use their attack whenever they are shown. You can press a button to hide all the 'attachments' that you have. They also fall off when they are hit by a bullet.

rRootage made someone else and I sick once.

gunwarrior

Kickass! This is so bought'd.

Garthor

I like the first video because it's got a pair of hands fucking with the Wii remote / nunchuck just so that it's clear that it's a Wii game. I mean, seriously, they're just flailing their hands about. It has nothing to do with the game.

I wonder if there's stock footage for "fucking around with Wii remote and nunchuck."

NailbunnyPD

This has to be one of the best OPs.

I can't tell if you're trying to mock me or if you just forgot to lime...

Antihippy

So I gave torus trooper a twirl...

It's pretty goddamn awesome!

Only that I'm pretty confused by the bullet patterns, because sometimes they look like they should hit, but don't, then they hit.

Pretty good music, too.

Yeah, this thread reminded me of Torus Troopers and how awesome it is, but I'm still confused as how to dodge bullets or what a good technique is for doing well. I just go really, really fast and hold down the fire button and spin around and hope I don't die.

I was agreeing, but I rarely lime. Those who ask for lime get "off-lime." You get what you deserve, greedy-guns.

I was trying to find out how I should feel :...:

Iceman2343

I, myself is interested in this for the fact that you could create almost anything with the editor from what it looks like.

Accualt

I like the concept but those screenshots are uuuuugly.

If it's anything like other Kenta Cho games it will look far better in motion.

New review from IGN. -> http://wii.ign.com/articles/879/879925p1.html

Gave it a 8.1... I don't know what that means since I don't really pay attention to scores anymore.

Looks like storage space might be an issue... C'mon Nintendo stop bring retarded and let some hack up some HD storage or even flash.

Torgo

Ken Cho games make my nipples hard. I rRootage and Torus Troopers SO MUCH. I hope they have the great music like all of the other ABA games had.

ArcticXC

I've heard mixed reviews on the music, however I'm pretty sure Kenta Cho had little to nothing to do with this game, he just allowed Budcat to use/port his older games. Also apparently you can't import your own music into custom levels.

Then again I'm sure the ports will have the same music, so who knows.

Also, there is a dev posting on the GameFAQ forums here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=941651

Some of the more interesting tidbits are that you can make the screen scroll in any ONE direction you want (up down left right) and can also toggle the "sticky ship" stuff.

Recoil42

that op is magnificent.

Blast Works - 8, 8.25
-- From Game Informer


I ordered from Amazon because I figured no stores would get it in.. but WHYYYY did I pick super saver.

Cyrixd

I've been so excited for this game since it was first revealed. I just recently played some of the ABA games (for the first time) and they're really cool, I'm excited for BW and all it's customization. Plus:

is awesome. I'd love to make top-down levels as well as horizontal.

I actually made some of that footage once for a local news channel. It was a story on Manhunt 2 (surprise surprise), but they also wanted a close-up of my hands messing around with the Wii-mote, so I just pretended like I was playing Tanks from Wii Play.

slash000

This game's been getting great reviews/previews and such.

I might have to get it.

Dusda

Wait, did I just see the ability to build lasers that output based on a custom-defined vector/cone?

Shit, there goes one of my ideas.

ArcticXC

May or may not be delayed... again... uugh.

Checked Amazon and it said: Shipping estimate: June 16, 2008
Also I've heard that Best Buy had it as the 17th.. so.. welp.

ArcticXC

Aaaaand a B+ from UGO: http://www.ugo.com/ugo/html/article/?id=18713&ampsectionId=51
(I have never heard of this website before...)

I've heard mixed info about the release date.. so.. if anyone sees it out on the street let me know so I can cancel my Amazon order before they ship it.

ArcticXC

Aaaaand the 1up review: http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3168186&p=44

I've heard that it should be in stores tomorrow.. so.. um.. yeah. At least it better be due to the fact that I just cancelled my order via Amazon.

NH03

I've been watching this game since gamespot first announced it and it couldn't come out on a worse month.

Just bought a damn video card and my funds are shot.

darunia106

Bought with the hope that I can make my shmup loving brother quiver with delight and writhe with envy.

slash000

Every review I read makes me want this game more.

Dammit. I'm not made of money, people!

Zxerol

This game went from "Oh, that sounds dope," to "BUY NOW!!!" as soon as I read Kenta Cho.

Akito01

Fingers crossed it actually turns op on shelves today.

I've been dying to get into the user created stuff ever since I first heard of it. My first instinct was to put together my own version of R-Type, but now that I know about the vertical-scrolling option, I'm actually eager to try and do a variation of Space Invaders. The blocky graphics would fit perfectly, especially with a green-black color scheme.

In any event, I'm insanely anxious to dig into this game. I really think Boom Blox would have benefited from the kind of content sharing method used by Blast Works, because creating levels in that game was a pretty lonely experience without the real ability to share with others.

SilentCoconut

I don't have enough money for this, but I already have it queued up on Goozex, so hopefully someone will buy the game and hate it, and ship it right out to me. I hope the paper airplane stage from the trailers is built into the game, because it really fit with the graphical style.

MayGodHaveMercy

Can't say I'm terribly interested in this game, but...
