I'm working on a game called Hover Droid using c++ and Dark GDK.

Here's the latest version, attached to this post, I would love some feedback!

Ok, gonna come with some feedback.

Installer: Seriously no one wants to try out a work in progress game only to find out you have to install it to your computer and add it to the program list etc etc etc... It will be a mess. Skip the installer and just attach the .exe

Graphics: The graphics are ok, not extremely good, nor are they terrible. The fire effect is good.

Gameplay: The game is actually playable, however the physics are crap, try to work some more on gravity.

Well I Made it an .exe installer for fun, wanted to try it out.
I don't think I'll work much more on the graphics, what's wrong with them?

And how can I improve the physics?

Thanks.

Its just my opinion, if you want to take my feedback in to consideration then do that, if not just ignore it.

The physics are bad because it only has 3 different functions:

1: move up if you press up.

2: stand still if you land on platform

3: fall down if 2 is false.

This is good in itself but you could try to add some more realism to it by doing something like this:

I don't understand that code, is it dark basic?
This program is written in c++/darkgdk...

From what I read I think you want me to accelerate the fallspeed while in air? Is that correct?

If you just write it in english what you would like me to do I could give it a try.

It's more or less just pseudocode, you should be able to figure it out.

It's more realistic to accelerate the fall speed because that's what gravity does. Also, you could have him float up and down just slightly while standing on a platform, gives more of a floating appearance.
