Super Clam Digger- GET YOUR FATHER'S CAR READY

[TotaliterAliter]

"Oh you gonna love this, boy. Tyrone calls you up, you know, in the game, and he says, "I can dig more clams than you, stupid!" And you've got to say, "Nuh-uh, boy!" And then y'all gotta race down to the beach with your buckets and your shovels. And the object of the game... is to find parking." ~ Meatwad, Aqua Teen Hunger Force

SUPER CLAM DIGGER is a game where you DIG CLAMS. But that's not all! It's a game where you dig clams BETTER THAN TYRONE (JUST KIDDING NOBODY DIGS CLAMS BETTER THAN TYRONE).

But in order to dig you must first drive- yourself- to the beach! And then, you must park! And you must do all of this while Tyrone calls you on your dad's car phone, giving you words of encouragement.

Excuse me, is this the Legend of Zelda? Because I'm think I'm having an Oracle of SEASONS

REVIEWS
"Maybe this be pretty good for a "first game" but....yeah. This was my honest opinion. I would give this game a 2.7/10. yeah...as I said above, no offense, but honesty is what you should expect.... " ~ GoreBlood999
"This game is...um...strange. And it as[sic] a glitch!" ~ Phoenix0
"I knew clowns chased me in the night. I tell everyone they wanna take my feet but no one believes me!!!1eleven" ~ cheeserules
"It's like a bullet hell version of MGS2, but with better cutscenes. I was wondering, is each level like a different day? Or are you and Tyrone racing from beach to beach in order to settle this?" ~ Block0Man
"YOU HAVE SMALL HANDS! Amazing work,Kafka.You make GMG proud." ~ Fawful

Driving:
Use the right arrow to speed up, use the left arrow to slow down. Up and down navigate the car. To park, lodge the car into a parking spot, found on the top and bottom sides of the road (ONLY IN PARKING MODE 3000)
Clamming:
Use arrow keys to touch the clams to dig them. Avoid the seagulls; they steal your clams! Crabs and Tyrone kill you. Tyrone will also charge you if you get too close to him, so stay back!

CREDITS
The Monster Users over at GameMakerGames played a huge role in contributing to this. As for where the various sprites and music came from, if you press F1 in game you get a fullish list.
The original concept is by Vimes, however, and was posted here.

He took the Aqua Teen Hunger Force quote above and wrote out an entire game, which I made in 2009, but then remade this year.

(This is a really odd first post. BTW, my name is Kafka/Totaliter Aliter. Nice to meet you all. I'm here to insult you by proxy of my game)

Looks clammy, to crustacean proportions. Ill be sure to crab this from your shell tomorrow, it looks a right pearl. I can sea this going down well here altogether to be honest, honestly, this place is your oyster.

Gracia, Amy! You sure are a princess to me for doing so. Let me know what you think when you are done!

This game gave me a few laughs. At first I thought that the police cars would arrest you if you were driving too fast, so I made a conscious effort to slow down.
If you're going to add to this game, I'd suggest the cop cars speed up a little bit, just to annoy the player more.

Tyrones constant calls actually do distract you from driving too.
Parking is a nightmare! Hurtling through the parking lot is insane, you better hope there's at least 4 spots in a row, otherwise you are not getting in any of those gaps!
The clam catching is hard, mostly cause Tyrones picture covers a lot of the screen, and then if you get too close to him, he wrecks you and then the crabs start fucking you too.

I managed to get to 5th on the leader board, so I'm proud of that.

Well done man. Graphically, not amazing but the game play more than makes up for that, music is pretty cool, story is short and sweet.

This game is an interesting concept with funny dialogue and pretty fun gameplay, enjoyable and quaint.
you will fail at everything you do

Thank you very much, Potion! I really appreciate it. I had considered doing some minor tweaks to the game, but the problem is that I've posted it like 7 different places and everywhere people are avoiding it like the plague. >.< Man, it's sad that like 3 years ago I could slap a game together in a day, post it on the Game Maker forums, and 100 people would play it easy. Now, it's like pulling teeth to get 20 people.

And also, nice job on getting so high on the leader board! I know seasoned clam diggers you have beaten on there. I watched one of my friends play this game like eight times straight and he didn't make it past the first clam dig. >.< So, I'm glad to know the difficulty curve isn't too insurmountable.
