Slacker
|
||
|
|
=======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Slacker** is a clone/parody of the popular arcade game *Stacker*, in which
|
||
|
|
you must stack blocks to the top of the screen in order to win the game. Boxes
|
||
|
|
will move back and forth at varying speeds. Press the spacebar to stop the
|
||
|
|
boxes and move on to the next row. Only boxes that have something underneath
|
||
|
|
them will be stacked. As the tower rises, the game will make your tower
|
||
|
|
thinner. You win a minor prize at the 10th level (the blocks change color), and
|
||
|
|
if you reach the 15th level, you will win the major prize. Good luck!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the arcade version, credits are expensive (often $1 per play), but the
|
||
|
|
prizes are excellent (the one that I played let you choose between an iPod, a
|
||
|
|
PSP, a DS, or a camcorder). As you might guess, it is an extremely difficult
|
||
|
|
game to win. I have made my own version of the game correspondingly hard, so
|
||
|
|
that the next time I go back to the restaurant, I will have a better chance to
|
||
|
|
win a good prize. Despite the hard nature of the game, I hope will enjoy it,
|
||
|
|
and if you wind up practicing with the game and getting so good that you win an
|
||
|
|
extra iPod, I wouldn't mind if you sent it my way. :)

This game was originally made by Clint and Jennifer Herron (see credits). They
|
||
|
|
wrote the above description, too. I (McSinyx) fork the game to improve the
|
||
|
|
codebase, make it more similar to the arcade game and maybe add more features.
