Very cool, it has a clean look to it which makes it that much more fun to play. Music is not bad either.

Better than I thought it would be from the screens I think you should add a screenshot with more colored balls on the Play Store. Looking really solid, I like the twisting transitions. Reminded me of playing International Karate + on Amiga where you block bouncing balls with a shield on one of the bonus stages.

One thing though. I can't quit the game without using the Task Manager. In Android 2.3.x (which about half of all Android devices use) it is common to exit apps using the back button. Actually, it is common to use the back button to exit out to main menu etc. The keycode for this in AppGameKit is 27, same as Esc on a keyboard. So you can use GetRawKeyPressed( 27 ) to get input from this.

Also, your icon does not use transparency so it has white corners. You should use a 32 bit PNG with transparency for your icon.


Demo 3 is out now!

Ok, thanks, there's also a few other things to fix (such as how you can't 'flick' the achievements screen), it'll be updated soon.
I'll probably add a video as well

BTW, I use the back button to open up a pause menu. I do the same if the user resumes the game after say a phone call. If you use getresumed() at the beginning of your loop you can use that to open up a menu so the player can unpause the game manually.

MissJoJo, I think something has happened to your collision detection... I'm getting killed by bouncing balls which are no where near me. Its almost as if the collision area has moved up by about 20 pixels...

Have you made an update using 108.11? I believe something changed for this beta... DA had issues too...

Thought I'd let you know so you can fix it quick...

Thanks, I am aware of the problem and have been trying to fix it, but it's very strange. There's no issue on the windows version, just the Android. I think it's a bug with the Android player so I'll have to figure out a workaround.

edit: the bug is also in the 1076 windows version but not the 1089 windows version

edit2: Issue solved, the problem was the SetSpriteOffset was being called and it seems to change the SpriteCollision area. I had to change it to SetSpriteOffset(2.26,8) instead of SetSpriteOffset(2.26,0) (16 is the height of the Guy)

Hi MissJoJo,

I'm pulling together a selection of games made with AppGameKit as part of a video montage to show what's been done. Could you make available to me a version of the game for PC from which I can capture some footage?

Regards,

Rick

Downloaded & reviewed.

Tilting controls could be more "analog", other that that very solid release.

My simple, free AppGameKit app, made in under 60mins.
Download it from Google Play
