Edit:
And here are some free promo codes for you guys! Let me know when they're used and I'll cross them off. My only request is that if you choose to install it, please do not uninstall for at least 2 weeks. This has a huge negative affect on the ranking and I don't want that

Edit 2: So I forgot to give apple my tax info and stuff. I've done that but apparently it can take up to a week for them to verify it so the iOS version won't be live until then. Expect it to be up by the 15th of July

Edit 3: Tricked you all, Apple verified it within 30 minutes. App Store listing is now live!

Wow, those codes went fast!

Best of luck with the game. It looks great, and it's always exciting to see another release developed with AGK.

Thankyou very much I agree it's good to see new games here on the forums

Quote: "Wow, those codes went fast!"

Sadly no, the codes just haven't been activated. Unfortunately Google won't let me start the promotion until tomorrow so the codes won't be active for some hours yet The Apple codes should work fine though

Edit never mind, I fixed the codes. They should work fine now

I wonder why it is $1.99 for IOS and $2.99 for Android ...I thought Android users spend less than IOS users in general, so why the difference ?

I rarely play puzzle games like this (or mobile games at all) but I must say this looks very well made. Nicely polished. Have you considered testing a desktop release on GameJolt or Itch.io?

It's the same price across both platforms. However the price differs between countries. Most likely Google Play is displaying it in your local currency but the App Store is displaying it in USD

I've considered publishing it for PC too (Steam as well as what you mentioned), but haven't actually done anything about it yet. Maybe at some stage in the future

I'm really happy to hear that! Thanks for making AppGameKit so fantastic. This game would have been much much more difficult using any other Game Development option. Coding it in AppGameKit was a breeze

Let me know what you think of it. Any and all feedback is good

So I accidentally did an [Andoid] release with some debug stuff still up which set the current level to 61 for all devices and also printed out some debug info during gameplay. Guess it's just a reminder to always test your builds before you release them

So I had a lot of complaints about people having difficulties trying to aim precisely, especially when bouncing off a corner or something. The reason for this was if you move your finger 1 pixel, it could be the difference between landing on one side of the level or the other. I had a few idea about how to fix this, such as adding a confirmation button to fire alongside a slider to finely adjust your aiming. Unfortunately this wouldn't work in many of the later levels since they require your to aim and shoot while moving or extremely rapidly.
Fortunately I came up with a solution, here's how I did it:
I realised that it's possible to detect if the player is struggling to aim precisely. They will be moving their finger slowly, the BioUnit will be almost still, and most importantly, the final position of the BioUnit will vary wildly between frames. So I simply store the final BioUnit position from the previous frame and if it's changed by more than 5 pixels in either axis (and if they other two conditions are met), the aiming mechanism will be put on fine mode. Here's my code:
[Givng away all my trade secrets here ]
Touch control code:

[As you can see, the touch coordinates are stored in an array which is 'bumped' back each frame (meaning that nx[10] stores the current x coor, and nx[1] stores the x coor from 10 frames ago. The reason I do this is when you release, people always wobble their finger a bit. I use nx[1] for the preview, but nx[7] to actually fire. This makes sure their shot is steady]

Fineness detection code:

This code is executed in a for k=1 to 50 loop which is stepping the physics sim each frame to trace the player position while aiming. So it's detecting to see if the final position (hence if k=50) has changed a lot since the previous frame and if so, adjusts the fineness variable which in turn makes their aiming finer in the first code block. It's also checking to make sure the BioUnit isn't moving too fast and the player isn't swiping their finger super fast either.

These few lines of code are a massive quality of life improvement to the gameplay. This is why I love coding, solving these sorts of problems
EDIT: Of course I pushed out the update with hardly any testing whatsoever and realised several critical mistakes in my code after the update Fixed them now though

All Android codes are gone so I tried to purchase but it's not letting me use my google balance as a payment option which is a bit odd. Will try again later. [EDIT]: Purchased.
[EDIT 2}: Nice game! One thing: When you run out of shots, there's a big message that says something like "tap her to restart"... no matter how much I tap, it doesn't restart. I have to go to the pause menu and restart that way.

I love that you can exit the game with the back button!

Having enjoyed the game during my commute to work for the last couple of weeks I've left a five star review on Google Play.

Thanks again for the code, and I hope your game's successful.
