Hot Dog Hero

Sun Jan 20, 2008 5:20 pm

It's a pretty fun game, worked fine yesterday, but today I'm having problems. Once the game starts, he falls off the block and can't jump and dies (he doesn't react to the Ketchup, Mustard, or Mayo platforms either). Anyone else having this problem?

What do you think of the game?

Submit a PM to Pickles with the subject "Treasure Hunt Round 2 - Easy - I found it!" and include links to each of the places you found the clues - in the order they came in.

I think this game looks like a sponsor game. The graphics aren't that great and it's kinda glitchy for me.

I think it's a pretty fun game, but the graphics are pretty bad. And the NP ratio isn't very good either.

I notice that when I expand the game window "full screen" I have this same problem. The hot dog immediately starts falling, I can't draw anything that catches him, and I die with zero points.

When I leave the game window at the regular resolution it is supposed to be at, I have no trouble now. Hope that tip helps. :)

I haven't run into any bugs on it myself, but then, I don't generally play full screen.

I love the music, it's very catchy. Game play is OK, once you get used to it (I still kinda stink at the game myself, but I'm starting to get the hang of it).

And I repeat what I said in the news thread when it came out: It uses pickles as weapons! What could be better in a game?! :P

I've had that same problem even without playing full screen.

Yeah, I don't play fullscreen and I have the problem. It works fine in IE, but not Firefox.

Agreed. I'm waiting for "America's Favourite Hot Dog Company" to pop out and say, "Howdy how!"

Yeah, Heinz too. I'm surprised the ketchup and mustard aren't labeled.

Internet Explorer > Firefox. All FF does is look pretty >.<
It works fine for me.

Hahaha that's a good one. I'll label it for them.

I still like Firefox better, it loads a lot faster, and it has Adblock! The problem is probably caused by some setting I can't fix (worked fine the day it came out), so I'm not bothering to send in a report.

Wow I'm not the only one who thought that! My first thought was that it had a very distinct sponsor game feel to it. I haven't noticed any glitches, but then I only played it once. Games with processed meat as the main character just don't do it for me. >.<
