Now here’s a poem inspired by SAS and more,
It’s actually based on a story I wrote weeks before!
My story starts with an Assault within a Theran base,
With no idea on the adventures he will later face.
T'was just another common night, until he soon found out
An enigmatic Golden Box was in his room, no doubt.
He wondered who would have possibly given him the crate,
He found no possibilities until the time was late.
The dawn before the next day, a strange Medic in his room,
She warned him about Thera reaching its impending doom.
They sprinted to the Dropship flying out for Boreas
Leaping buildings, using trickery to barely pass.
“Now that we are here, we should search out for a friend
That can help us figure out the Golden Box.” The woman said.
They did eventually find the building this friend was in,
But the Runners ran after them, with dark and toxic skin.
The two were well outnumbered, they thought that they would die,
Until they heard the shrill scream of a rocket flying by,
An gigantic explosion vibrating the icy ground,
The Runner chasing them all bombed to char-broiled fleshy mounds,
“That surely is my friend that I was taking just ago!”
They found out her friend was a Heavy, twenty, or below.
He was shown the Golden Box, and soon he volunteered to help,
With flying rooms and starship guns enough to make them yelp.
But when they reached their destination, things went really wrong,
They messed it up and landed hard into the grove headlong.
The three of them, terribly lost, they started to give up
Until the Medic heard a sound. “Do we go this way?” ‘Yup.”
They ran over to wherever the sound was coming from:
A golden temple. “That’s the one, “The Heavy soon confirmed.
“I hope there are no hidden paths.” But as soon as he did touch:
The walls collapsed, showing a pathway. “Secret entrance much?”
They delved into the tunnel, with surprisingly no traps,
No tripwires, no boulder tiles, no wide bottomless gaps.
They reached the end of the path, they couldn’t believe their eyes:
A room with stacks of gems and boxes, towering real high.
They started to marvel, until the Medic shrieked in pain,
A lean man, holding a blade, said, “Welcome to my domain.
I’ll watch in joy as my pet tears you to small, bloody bits.”
And soon enough, a savage roar came from within the pits.
A fearsome Devastator, barreling towards the three,
The Assault said, “There’s nobody to kill this thing…but me!”
He broke the gold seal of the box and found a shiny card
“I found the secret of this box, welcome to your graveyard!”
The pyramid shot out a beam, which sizzled neon green,
The zombie burst into a starburst none had ever seen.
The monster was destroyed, but the Assault was unaware
About the wicked man’s cold breathing creeping to his hair.
He would’ve died, but now his friends were also ready too.
The man was tackled out into the darkness, far from view.
The temple rumbled, and a low voice rang into his head,
“The Bloonsday Device’s power is yours until you’re dead.”
And with his newfound powers, he and his friends beelined
Towards the temple’s exit, leaving the villain behind.
His epic adventure was over, but he said, “I do think
That we do make a perfect team and we act well in sync.”
Where will the trio go to next? It’s still a mystery,
And that’s because this is the end of the story, you see.
Questions from the Comments:
Any updates for Fortress Destroyer?
Some bad news! There won't be any updates for Fortress Destroyer. Unfortunately the game didn't get enough plays. We will keep all feedback and suggestions in mind for any future games that build on that same idea but Fortress is done now.
Will you ever bring back the Global Events for SAS4?
It's possible but there aren't any planned. Let us know if you'd like to see them :)
What platforms will BSM2 and Tower Keepers be coming out on?
Just iOS and Android for now.
Thanks for stopping by!
Aaron
yep, global events are too dead. But I'd like to see more of them, since it's a nice challenge and I haven't seen one in ages.
When you want to play tower keepers and bsm2 so much, but your phone sucks. :(
Rip fortress destroyer.
rip my poem didnt win D:
You made Fortress: Destroyer like a SAS 4 on water, what else did you expect? The only notable differences are lag, and controls really, how hard is it to get that people don't like taking a long time to get anywhere?
I want to ask you Aaron, will ninjakiwi just continue to update games like they do? Or will they make the-below-mentioned amazing game? I understand there are several problems to that - funding, time, etc. but in the long-term, it would most likely be best for the company.
So.... you wonder why FD never got any plays? because it was just another grind-fest. When will ninjakiwi release a game that everyone will play? A game that will take the community by storm, like bloons monkey city and sas4 did? There is no point updating them now, there's nothing more to add. I'm pretty sure most people would prefer to wait a year or even two with nothing from nk because they are working on a huge game that is amazing rather than wait a year for a game that they probably won't even play like FD
Is this game for flash too:?
Could these blog post comments have a reply system?
