Good day all,

After mulling over a few ideas, here is my current entry for the TGC Nexus competition.

SpaceCrash - Pod Rescue

A simple game increasingly difficult....

- You are in a rescue pod escaping from a space station going through a labyrinth of structures, debris and lasers (!).

- The single level is increasingly complex and speed will increase slowly as you progress. Setup as a finite but loopable scene, you will eventually come back to the same place, but with higher speed

-Choose wisely - an array of bonuses will give you more points while giving you the means to clear the way in places to facilitate navigation including: laser, small impactors, and shield.

- Online Highscores will be provided (thanks to Phaelax)

- I will be releasing a beta for testing shortly once the bulk is in there.

In the meantime, more below:

And a quick video...a bit slow and choppy due to the screen capture...working well and smoothly on all the android devices at hand..

That's it for today..

Cheers,

Tokidokee

Thanks Ched, I may take up your offer.

Things have been progressing well, although I have spent a day and a half sorting out a very annoying bug...(I use SetViewOffset for the level and did not realise this had to be reset to see the menu screen...)

I will probably release a beta towards the end of the week for testing.

I'm sure that won't be the last annoying bug

I've attached my Holey Cow! source code - you'll find all the Advert and High-Score stuff in there. Both are contained in their own agc files, but i've included everything so you can see where and how I use it.

[href]LyxqqqH_6XQ[/href]

Now with specific settings for phone or tablets/PC e.g. zoom and GUI size.

Bonuses are in !, all for a max of 3 seconds- Accessed by pressing the large (on phone) right button
- Lightning Strike - Explode a wide area in front
- Side Speed up - Go Quicker sideways
- Small Lightning Bolt - Fire and forget - Middle scale damage
- Slow Down -Slow down the speed momentarily
- Shield - Go through anything, but don't get caught out in impossible places !

Lightning Strike

Shield

The game starts at a slow pace and speeds up regularly.
Since the world comes back on itself,the decisions you take at each turn (to blow things up - or not) will make your life more of less difficult the next time round...

- Music and sounds are in
- All animated bonuses completed
- Touch or Keyboard play

Left to do:
- Setup screen for various volumes
- Highscores
