Depot Games: Flatch

Current Version: v1.1

Project Status: Completed

Links: Web Site

Category: Arcade

Developers: MickyD

Ports: Windows

Source Code: Not Available

Author's Description: Flatch is a game where you are a bubble generated by a fish's flatulence. You must help Flatch get out of the ocean in one piece. Dodge fish, turtles, seaweed, toxic waste barrels, and black starfish.

Beating the game is a difficult task (even for the programmer of the game) which I challenge everyone to attempt. If it gets too easy for you, increase the difficulty in the options menu.

Get powerups to help you along the way and meet requirements for awards to help you achieve the high score.
The powerups are: pink starfish which will make you smaller (which is a GOOD thing), a dark pink starfish that makes you bigger (a very BAD thing), a bright blue starfish and laser pack which allows you to kill the fish and rack up on points, a yellow starfish which kills all the fish on the screen and multiplies the combo level of a blue starfish, and beer which makes everything blurry but you get a lot of points.

Here's a list of awards you can try to recieve (awards help towards a REALLY high score):
Name Requirement
---- -----------
King Get 10 perfects
Captain Planet Kill 40+ toxic waste barrels
Martial Arts Get a 25+ combo
Opportunity Get 20+ powerups
Big Boy Get at least 2 black starfish and survive a whole checkpoint's worth

Public Opinion
Overall Rating: 7.3
  • 6Very good visuals and audio. Gameplay is original and sounded like lots of fun when I read about it, but turned out to be just average.
  • 6First of all, nicely done! Gfx, music and SFX are all excellent! The (simple) idea is also polished to the max. However, i think it needs something more to become really addictive. More interaction? Perhaps different speeds?
  • 8A nice and simple game with some polish. Lacks variety and I would have prefered it if I could collect powerups when my bubble is flashing, but you want to keep playing. I liked the music and the SFX.
