Holy crap Lassie, you actually got yours in before midnight? Oh, I see, it's incomplete. What HAVE you been doing all this time anyway?

Terminus est. I release my latest abomination upon the OHR community, a game that has made even me physically ill AND left me in hysterics at the same time.

Do yourself a favor and read the readme.

By the way, as per my usual routine, the game hasn't been tested nearly enough. On my last playthrough, the Turtles scenario was randomly making you lose, which I *think* I fixed. The rankings scale was also incredibly harsh, so it may be too easy now. I'll fix anything that's still screwed up in the morning. Probably.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I need to vomit. Ulch.

(Edit: An additional playthrough confirms that the rankings scale is still nicely harsh; also, I fixed a bug but I forget what. Now there is one bug fewer in the game. Enjoy.)

I tried to play SCHBW but got a bug immediately upon starting the game:

failed to unlump 4.hsx
interpretloop encountered noop

This could be due to the fact that I don't have the right version of the OHR (whichever one you used), include a game.exe with the RPG file please?

Also you spelled it "headahe" on the title screen.

Yeah, sorry, I realized once I was already in bed that I forgot to include my version of the OHR. It should work with the latest nightly.

I'll re-upload later, but until then:
(EDIT: The exe is now included, for those downloading it as of this message.)

And, hey, you're right about the title screen. In my defense, it's not really supposed to be read. I'll consider fixing it.

Oh, Tjord!

I kinda blacked out from losing too much bodily fluid through my mouth after watching Hasselhoff's crotch cycle in rainbow vision a too many few times.

Hey, not bad. That's actually slightly higher than I got when playtesting, but then I only played through twice.

If you're wondering about the scoring system, it goes something like this:

- Each battle has a base value of 5 points.
- 1 point is added for each minute that has elapsed. (The game lasts six minutes, so up to 5 more points can be added here.)
- 5 points are added if Comrade Bomb joins the party.
- 2 points are added if the scenario changes to "RUN AWAY" or "LOSE THE BATTLE." (This should maybe be higher, because the change is incredibly easy to miss.) Rarely, it will try to be both and get a total bonus of 4 here.

So a single battle can be worth 5 to 19 points. At the end of the game, your combined score is modified:

Final score = subtotal x wins / (losses + 1)

If you play a perfect game, then your score should be huge. If your wins and losses are about the same, then you get pretty close to your base score.

My record is about 350, but I also rebalanced some scenarios since then, making them slightly easier. I'm gonna go for the gold later today.

In conclusion,

This is a game I can graciously lose to. Thank you.
