- Welcome to Booger Bungee
-
- I'm sure many of you (if not all of you) have picked
- your nose as one point or another. Many of you have
- even perhaps gone as far as to eat whatever glorious
- treasure you've gleamed from it. But have you ever
- considered that perhaps those simple creatures which you
- unceremoniously tore from your nose and shoved into
- your mouth without a second thought each and every day
- at school... have you ever considered that these simple
- creatures have feelings, just like you and me? Well,
- they do. This is their story.
-
- Booger Bungee is the first and only chapter of the
- long-awaited Nose Trilogy. In it you play the part of
- an aspiring Booger Bungee athlete. For the past year
- you've been training, but will it be enough? This
- year the competition's tougher than ever. All your
- skills will be sorely tested this day...
-
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- Uh, What?
-
- If you're still reading, than you haven't gone off to
- tell your grandmother about the "horrible thing you
- found on the internet". That's good. But you're also
- probably extremely confused. Truthfully, without all
- the aforementioned mumbo jumbo, Booger Bungee is a
- simple game, where the object is to, in a certain amount
- of time, rack up as many points as possible and maybe
- even get a high score. The easiest way to do this is to
- do tricks.
-
- The tricks are outlined below.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- I Still Don't Get It
-
- Oh, shut up, already.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- Getting Started
-
- At the Title screen, you will notice two option boxes
- and four large, plush buttons:
-
- Enter Your Name - I think this is self-explanatory.
- This affects you if you get a high score, so don't put
- down something you'll regret later, like "Barfy".
-
- Speed Option - Booger Bungee has been known to run a
- little fast on some computers (not necessarily better
- ones). I suggest that you do a Practice round to see
- what setting is best for you. 1 is default as that's
- how I play it on my computer. Ha!
-
- Practice - Practice lets you practice your tricks
- without the chance of getting a high score. Press the
- Spacebar or break your rope (more on this below) to exit
- Practice.
-
- Start Swingin' - Allows you to compete for high score.
-
- View High Scores - Only the highest scorers will be
- displayed prominently here, along with their score and
- (hopefully) a witty quote.
-
- Exit - Takes you to a secret game which is fifty times
- more fun than Booger Bungee.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- Tricks
-
- Doing tricks is the key to getting high scores. Tricks
- range from easy to medium to hard, and the amount of
- points you get varies with the difficulty. Let's teach
- you some basic tricks, first.
-
- All basic tricks are done by pressing either a, s, or d
- once.
-
- [Move : Point Value : Button(s)]
-
- Stretch : 5 : a
- Bend : 5 : s
- Switch : 5 : d
-
- Easy tricks are made up of a combination of basic tricks.
-
- Twist : 100 : s,d,s
- Ballooner : 100 : a,s,s
- Smiley : 100 : s,d,a
-
- Medium tricks are made up of a combination of basic
- tricks, but can only be done at certain points in the
- jump.
-
- Supafly : 200 : ?
- Phat Friday : 200 : ?
- Big Poppa : 200 : ?
-
- Hard tricks are made up of a combination of easy tricks.
-
- Muscleman : 600 : ?
- Santa : 600 : ?
- Triple X : 600 : ?
-
- Point values for easy and medium tricks go down with
- each trick you do. For example, if I did three
- ballooners, my fourth one would only give me 85 points,
- instead of 100.
-
- You also earn a variety bonus at the end of your jump.
- The more (different) tricks you do, the higher the
- variety bonus. Basic tricks do not count, so the
- highest variety bonus is 900 points.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- Rope Tension
-
- In the right corner of the jump-screen is a little
- booger face and some text. This gauges your rope
- tension. Rope tension goes up if you do too many tricks
- in a row. As rope tension gets higher, you run the risk
- of the rope snapping, sending your jump to an early end.
- Rope tension goes down when you do new tricks.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- Commentators:
-
- Your jump will be introduced by the famous Raul "Scabby"
- Gonzalez, and MC Elmer, a brand-spankin' new veejay for
- MTVB (Music Television for Boogers). This dynamic duo
- will provide commentary during your jump, and will rate
- your performance at the end.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- One Final Note
-
- At Blackeye Software, we strive to make games which are
- simple to learn and play, and quick to download. I
- think Booger Bungee epitomizes this. It's a game
- which you could spend a lot of time playing, but not a
- lot of time to get into. It's quirky, it's got a lot of
- spunk, and I put quite a bit of effort into it. I hope
- you enjoy this fruit from my loins!
