Graphics from The Burger King vs. Everyone Else
Art by FnrrfYgmSchnish

Yeah, I started another contest game that I lost interest in before I really got anywhere. This time it was my entry for the Fangame Contest, The Burger King vs. Everyone Else.

Basically, it was half Burger King fangame and half parody of my old crappy 48-hour contest game Xutt's Tournament--the Burger King is going about his usual daily routine of mysteriously appearing behind people and giving them sandwiches when suddenly a weird, one-eyed, tentacley thing appears in the sky over his head. This, of course, is Xutt. He tells the King that he's invited to a fighting tournament, and the winner gets the most valuable prize in any contest ever: "your planet doesn't get blown up." Of course, BK isn't about to let his planet get blown up, so he heads off toward Xutt's desert planet to enter this tournament.

I never really got much further than that; I had the maptiles for Xutt's planet finished, but you couldn't actually go into the area where the tournament took place, since I lost interest in making the game about four days into the contest. If I had finished, though, BK would enter the tournament and then have to fight his way through 16 rounds of opponents taken from various TV shows, video games, and so on.

The way the game would've been set up, each round would be randomized--there would be anywhere from two to six possible opponents per round, and a plotscript would flip a couple of plotscript-coins to decide which one you'd actually fight. In the early rounds, the Burger King's opponents would be painfully weak (like a Pikachu), but after the first four or five rounds they'd get tougher (like Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog) and by the time the later rounds of the tournament rolled around, he'd be fighting ridiculously powerful characters (like Goku and Freeza.) The final round of the tournament would put the Burger King up against either Supernum or Killer Kirby, and after that he'd go after Xutt himself... except instead of an actual "final boss" battle, you'd just get a cutscene of BK handing Xutt's ass to him on a platter until he agrees not to blow up anyone's planets.

I never actually finished the graphics for all of the opponents, but I did get the walkabouts for the first four rounds done. Most of these guys should be pretty easy to recognize, but if you can't identify someone, you can always look at the filenames. Like the last bunch of graphics I submitted for Hamsterspeak, these are free for anyone to use in whatever way you want... as long as you don't try to claim that you made them yourself.

Our Hero
When you're a few thousand years old, 'long live the king' seems like a bit of an understatement

Round 1
By far the weakest opponent in the game
By far the smallest opponent in the game
By far the dumbest opponent in the game
Like a dude with a gun, but furrier
Vastly overrated by Internet scum, though he is the toughest opponent in Round 1

Round 2
Tougher than your average non-superpowered guy
Unfortunately for her, a stake won't work on the King
By far the least well-known opponent in the game
A Pokémon with unusally rabid fans

Round 3
Palette Swap Ninja #1
Palette Swap Ninja #2
Dude-with-a-gun, Deluxe Edition
The first speedo-wearing opponent

Round 4
Dude-with-a-gun, only not technically a 'dude'... and better
You can't beat the King with just playing cards and a British accent
A much better source of electricity than Pikachu
Like Super Macho Man, but with more arms and less talking
