Game name: Blubber Dragon 2
Game version: 0.16 (6th March 2007) Limited Public Test Version
Game type: Side scrolling 2D platformer game. Freeware.
Game Maker version: 7
File size: 6.78Mb (5.74Mb zipped) Includes one unfinished character and one game level

There's no date set when this game is going to be fully finished. Very likely it's going to take few years as I'm doing this mainly alone and I'm pretty busy in life at the moment. This game project was started in October 2005 when I started to learn to use Game Maker 6.1.

MINIMUM system requirements are something like this:
Operating System: Windows 2000, XP or Vista
Processor: 400Mhz (over 1 Ghz recommended)
Memory: 128Mb? (More recommended)
Graphics card: Direct X 8 compatible with 32Mb memory (If the game doesn't run or you can't see the particles then your graphics card is outdated)
Sound card: Direct X 8 compatible (The game doesn't load properly without a sound card - player falls through floor etc.)
Display: At least 640x4 resolution and support for 16 or 32 bit colors
A keyboard and a mouse (with at least two buttons) are needed.

Planned features list, changes can happen:
- 3 anthro dragon player characters (+ some unlockable ones)
- Funny cartoon like graphics, animations and sounds
- About 20 levels (The levels will include many land types with different theme, weather, enemies, traps & puzzles)
- 3 difficulty levels
- Replay value by randomizing enemies and their positions at level startup
- Many enemies + bosses
- Some friendly characters
- Few mountable/ridable creatures
- Many collectable and useable items
- Special bonus levels
- A story
- A level editor?
- Multiplayer modes? (TCP/IP and IPX, at least 4 players)

Story:
The game happens on an unknown planet populated with many types of intelligent creatures. For an unknown reason a teleportation goes wrong, sending three dragons to this unknown planet. The three dragons must explore the planet, try to save local creatures from slavery and weird experiments, and find a way to return home.

Game Desription:
The goal in the game is to go from a level's start to the exit, collecting maximum points on the way by collecting powerups, extra lives etc, knocking out or inflating enemies and end level bosses with attack moves and using items like throwable fatgas potions, and avoiding traps (spikes, inflating traps etc). The enemies also try to inflate you (mostly with fatgas), and you have to avoid it to remain as mobile as possible. You need the mobility because the levels have a time limit and you get more points the more time you have left at a level's end.

Sometimes in levels you are stopped by a puzzle. There are some items like collectable springs and boxes that can be used to your advantage. Also at times, you need to purposely inflate yourself in order to continue. For example with the help of helium you can get much higher than normal.
