Minimalist Crash Balls is a game where the goal is to hit the ball on the portal, with 20 different levels :)
  • Not sure where to post this really, I don't know if it's a bug with Safari, Construct or something we've done. It's an error that only occurs in Safari (desktop); basically when the music starts on our latest Ludum Dare game, then the browser crashes. It all works fine on Chrome and Firefox. Don't know what to do really, we just added music to the game and then played it.

    Anyone else had these issues? The Safari error message is below if that helps.

    Link to the game is on our Ludum Dare page here:

  • If Safari crashes, it's definitely a Safari bug and not a Construct 2 bug. You should report it to Apple. Alternatively perhaps there's a problem with the encoding of some of your audio files (since it says the crashed thread was "Audio Decoder"). Re-encoding them or using different settings might help.

  • Ashley I get your point Ashley, but we can't stop waiting for Safari to fix their issues. You can't say to a customer that their browser is the issue, to the customer if it doesn't work right away, it's Broken, ant that's a Lost customer, they won't get back, and they definitely won't download another browser. The customer doesn't know how to use computers, so if it doesn't work, they won't dig in and find a fix. They are not geeks, they are not nerds.

    One needs to support their browsers, whatever they use.

    There must be support to Safari with workarounds, like many developers did/do supporting IE, specially now, specially at these point in history that Safari /iPad is the largest user base of customers right now.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • ghost - in this case there appears to be nothing we can do. The audio file is passed to Safari and it crashes decoding it. It's not like there's some Javascript we can change to work around that.
