Entry for "Swiped Out" by Ray Meyer:

This is a special version to meet the criteria of the competition, specifically the ads and continuous play.

Instructions:
Swipe or run your finger across 3 or more objects that are the same, like 3 red balloons, or 3 apples. The more you swipe in one hit, the better the score. Complete a certain amount of swipes to refresh the screen with new objects. Each new screen has objects that use different physics to challenge you. The objects get smaller and the variety increases, making it harder to find 3 objects close to each other.

Swipe 10 or more objects together for bonuses and extra lives.

Post winning scores at the end of the game to a World Wide Leaderboard.

Hint: Tilt the screen to 'mix up' the objects.
Wait until there are lots of objects so you can swipe many at a time for maximum points[img]null[/img]

If I only had the time...

"What a poor little man in all that trouble.
Looking at the poor man surrounded by sharp spikes,
molten lava inside a deep dark claustrophobic vertigo
instilling mine pit makes you want play just to save
him; oh and there are mines!" - Chris Tate



Concept:
In Mine Climb, you play a Jim - your average miner. On the job deep in the mines,
Jim unintentionally releases the forces of a dormant volcano! Luckily Jim is wearing
his climbing boots and has a chance to escape by rapidly climbing up the side of
his mineshafts. The mines are quite a work safety violation, though! On the way up,
Jim must jump out of the way of any obstacles that will knock him off the walls and
into the rapidly rising lava below.

Control Jim and his boots as he climbs up out of the endles deep! Try to reach all four
distinctive zones, and see how far you can travel as you compete with others to give Jim
the fate he deserves.

This game only has one key! By pressing the space key, you can jump from one wall
to another to avoid obstacles as Jim climbs out of the pit. Which might be endless...
Jim has been digging for a while. Poor Jim. I hope he gets paid overtime.

Screenshots:




Instructions:
- Feel free to either launch the game directly or use the provided launcher to set your config before you play.
- Remember to set a unique name to distinguish yourself when you reach the top of the leaderboard!
- Once you launch the game, use the space key for everything! The arrow keys are also used when navigating the menu.
- There is no pause in this game - the volcano waits for no one. You can, however, press Escape if you desire to seal Jim's fate at any time.
- NOTE: this version has an odd crash bug and will occasionally not launch. If it does this please try again!!
- Good luck, and have fun!

More Information:
-I created all the graphics myself from scratch!
-Software used: Dbpro, Adobe Photoshop CS3, Paint, Audacity
-I used Scoreoid.net for the high scores database - check it out!
-Interesting fact: It took me hours to get the screenshots for my post
because I couldn't reach those levels! How's that for a difficult game

Moving Blocks



The aim of the game is to help the bird to collect the oranges. The twist is that the player does not have control of the bird but can move the buildings and blocks using the mouse to drag them.

Title: Super Footie - Pocket Edition


Screenshot:



Description:
The goal is to run as long as you can without losing the ball. You will score points for running distance and getting past opposing players. Kicking the ball is done by swiping across the screen. This works like drawing an arrow. The length and angle of this arrow determine the trajectory of the ball. The farther you run, the faster the game becomes.

Work-In-Progress-Thread:
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=210721&b=48&p=0

Instructions:
Just tap or swipe to kick the ball over opposing players.

Edit:
Attention! I just discovered a critical bug in the ball selection that crashes the app. I will fix this now and replace the download (for the record: I published my entry in time!).

Edit 2:
Ok, bug fixed! It should work now, without a critical crash in the menu.

Edit 3:
Everybody who wants to play the game: please have a look at the development thread on the AppGameKit Showcase board for the most up-to-date version. The competition version still has some critical bugs that I wasn't able to fix in time.

Tricky Hop!



Tricky Hop is my take on the endless level style of gameplay. You have the keep jumping the frog to make sure he doesn't fall off the bottom of the screen. Jump, and while in the air you can give him a gust of wind if your wind meter is full! This is useful to save yourself if you misjudge a jump. Both the speed of the swipe and the angle affect the frogs jump, so keep that in mind, and try to get the high score!



Here is my wip thread:
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=210469&b=48

I changed the name from jumpee to tricky hop.

Enjoy! Download attached.

Title: Chompski
Description: Feed Chompski the melons by rotating him so the mouth and melon line up and he can eat it. Avoid the birds.

It's quite buggy at the minute and not really finished. I wasn't originally going to submit but then I rushed something in the end.
It's my first game (ever, in anything) so it is very basic and mostly me figuring things out.

I was putting the ads and leaderboard in place and nearly had this done then lost work when I got confused over which 'main' file I was editing. This version is an older less complete build as I didn't have time to fix it back up.

I did the music on an ipad with a couple of loops so it's not very professional but it was fun doing it anyway.
Graphics mostly me except for the explosion I think.

Instructions:
A - Move left
D - Move right
Left Cursor - Rotate left
Right Cursor - Rotate right
Score as high as you can.

AUGH NO - I'm a few minutes past the official deadline... Please forgive me, I overslept
Jet Lag
Your task - Pilot your jet over the eerie, dangerous ruins of a lost city. What are you running from? Where are you running to? Who knows... You can't help but wish you had a jet with less laggy controls though!
With each new district of the city explored, it becomes harder and harder to avoid the piles of junk in your path - architecture obviously wasn't a strong point of whoever built this city.
The health of the jet is shown by the bar at the top of the screen. You can survive most small knocks to the jet with enough health to soak up the damage - head-on collisions usually don't turn out well, no matter how much health you have!
Your visibility is also slightly better when flying lower to the ground, so try not to go too high!
(Hopefully) have fun! Since I haven't had the time to make a leaderboard, try to beat 4800

Controls: Direct the jet using the mouse. To give yourself a speed boost, hold down the left mouse button - while flying faster, the jet is also more responsive, which is handy for quick dodging

Screenshots:




Jet lag (old):
https://www.mediafire.com/?o55ocxffx4hlttx

Jet lag v1.2:
https://www.mediafire.com/?y7x7avi9wg72yjp

NOTE: The old version is the original version I uploaded for the competition - I kept it because it's probably cheating for me to be updating my game after the deadline!
If you'd rather judge the newer version, though, I'm not complaining
Apart from the new health mechanic, it's mostly just bug-fixes that make the game harder and more enjoyable...

The code never bothered me anyway...
