Cornflower Corbin is a family friendly, campy, side scrolling shooter about a whale, with a laser, that is trying to get the love of his life back after the evil Mecha Shark takes her from him. He is painfully assisted by his best friend Paul, an oversize clown fish that jokes a little too much, and has to battle his way through a barrage of enemies to get her back. Corbin’s secret power is in his growth. You see the bigger he gets, the harder his lasers hit. But beware, he also gets slower and becomes a bigger target, so finding a balance in size to damage is key. The game is set up to be stat heavy with leaderboards. So get ready to compete with other players by taking out more turtles and sharks than they do.

features

  • Procedural generated enemies making the game change a little bit each time you play
  • Five levels of action including 5 boss fights and 3 mini boss fights
  • Endurance mode where the waves just keep on coming
  • Leader-boards and stat collection for things like shots fired and sharks taken out

Life Is Hard

Posted on by magicrat_larry

I’m writing this during the middle of the day.  Why you ask?  Because life is hard.  See I had to change my daily schedule due to the difficult nature of life.  It happens.  I get it.  What I hate the most is when this stuff makes people truly believe that the world is almost too hard to succeed in.

There are two types of people that think life is hard.  The first is the “Life is so hard, I can hardly stand it” person and the second is the “Normally life is easy, but I make my life more difficult because I interact with the world” person.  I am the second person.  If I wanted to I could lay back and have a simple life.  I have a good job, a great family and I generally enjoy everything about my days.

I personally hate that, oo life is good, feeling and always push myself, and the world to the next level and feel satisfied doing it.  So The other people, sit around waiting for an excuse to explain why they do not do anything other than what they do today.  I hate that.  Don’t be one of those people, please!

Do something that is hard.  Make life hard.  I took my normal life and said I need to do more with it.  So I started fitting more and more in and now it is bursting at the seems.  Not because life is hard, but because I choose the difficulty level.  I choose to be a game developer chasing a dream after work.  I choose to play with my child whenever I can.  I choose to get up early and sleep less.  I choose how difficult my life is and my life is hard and I love it.
