This game is called quite generically GAME it is a representation of the early days of video games.
You play as the lonely Paddle competing with its own kind for survival. From catching rain drops, to tossing balls around. Paddle changes from one form to different forms depending on its environment.
This is also an experiment of using minimal(no) text to express what one needs to do, by using generic games I am sure it will be easy for gamers to pick and play this game. Although I feel this will alienate non-gamers, this is a safe compromise though because the audience who play these games don't fall into the latter category.
Just a heads up to everyone the keyboards directional keys (up, down, left, right) are the only buttons that will work with this game.
Tools used are Visual C++ 2010, OpenGL, GLUT, GLEW, DevIL, and BFSX. DevIL is only included because i thought i was going to add images but I decided not to.
