Game Preview

Project Beta
61

Another new build:

  • Sound will start playing again from anywhere after being interrupted by ad

  • Sound on/off toggle in pause menu, just in case :wink:

  • Finally got around to fixing the ground on iPhone (:

  • Jack can no longer go outside the screen

  • No longer exit one screen and end up right on one where you tapped

  • Bullets stay in front of Jack

62

That’s sad, that you can’t get the highscore from GameCenter :frowning:
Otherwise, great work!!

63
  • The more you shoot the laggier it gets, until you pickup a laser upgrade.
  • The laser upgrade removes all existing bullets, they just disappear.
  • If you get faster then the bullets then they just like catch on to you, they should always be faster.
  • You can still get outside the screen, just tilt more. Try checking the “outside screen” statement after the horisantal movement.
64

Can you post some screen shots? (as most of us aren’t on your beta-test group) :slight_smile:

Man it’s hard to upload images to imgur with an iPhone :stuck_out_tongue:
Anyways there you go! :slight_smile:

@akaJag, how far out off the screen are you able to get? And is it only on your iPhone or also on the iPad?

On the iPhone image only Jack’s hand is visable (at the far left side).

What happened to the app, out of development or what??

70

@akaJag, no I’m sorry I haven’t been active in a while but I don’t have access to my computer right now so I will resume working on it when I can (maybe another week) and get to work on all those things you’ve pointed out

71

If you don’t mind I can help you, but only on the lua part. :slight_smile:

72
  • If you shoot too much the game becomes laggy until you take a laser power up.
  • The character is too fast on the iPhone, making it impossible to predict where to shoot.
  • Maybe add multiplayer (kinda big request), but would be awesome to play with a friend via wifi or bluetooth.
  • It seems to always be a plane at the far right when I start a new game on the iPhone.
  • Maybe change the power ups into clouds, ex: a thunder cloud for the laser upgrade. And once you jump on it the cloud turns into a normal cloud.
  • Add more types of enemies.
73

@akaJag I am already working on the lua part, I just cannot update the TestFlight version without access to my computer :confused:

74

Ok. If you need any help just ask ;:wink:

75

@akaJag So i FINALLY got the new version onto TestFlight. Sorry it took so long :slight_smile: Please tell me what you think

76

Nice work! :smiley:
I got a small game test and I notice some things:

  • New laser beam :o a bit funky looking (see picture), no actual laser just a weird sword or something, kills enemies even tho it’s not touching.
  • When having the laser upgrade the character is bigger, Idk if that is intentional but oh well.
  • Jack is not having an animation when having a upgrade, shield or laser.
  • Would really like a indikator when the power up is about to go away.
  • When you leave the app it would be noce if the game paused.
  • Clouds overlap the score (see picture).

@akaJag:

  • I wanted to try something new for powerups, if you think it was better before I can change it back, I will make sure it kills only when touching

  • He is supposed to be bigger

  • I will make him animate

  • I will put in a little notification for the last (5?) seconds

  • Not really sure how to tell if you’ve left the game, so I don’t know about this one

  • I’ll fix that

78

@akaJag, could you specify when it kills them without touching? Ex: Does it kill ones on its right, left, above, or below?

79

Above.

And for the notification, try just making the character flash some color before it disappears. Try make it flash more and more rapidly until it’s almost constant flash and then change. Catching my drifts?

80

@akaJag thank you I will fix that. And as for the notification, I thought of that but decided something like that would be a bit distracting so I put a little notification up top:
