Cell.Protect

Here is the prototype of my first game in Construct, a basic shooter inspired from Arc Aether Anomalies. It's not complete. Right now there is no 'Game Over' screen, you keep on playing forever even if the health is negative.

Download Prototype:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5811650/Cell.Pr ... 0v.0.4.exe

Controls:

W,A,S,D to control the ship. Mouse to aim and fire.

Objective:

Shooter the spores/crater(whatever you call it) and protect your cell/planet(whatever you call it )

Collect the circles/protiens/enzymes (which one is the best?? or can you suggest a better name??) that spawn after destroy the spores.

Features I may add:

Make the cell destructable, i mean if a spore hits it, the cell gets deformed. I tried using the destructabke terrain trick, but couldn't succeed.

Here is the result of it.

Make the sprites better.

A online highscore board. (i don't have any idea how i'll do this)

Help I Need:

Please can somebody suggest a good sound track for this game? I am really bad at choosing a suitable soundtrack for my games.

What do you think of the difficulty? Currently the game spawns 2 spores per 2 seconds. Should I increase it?

Help regarding the online high score board.

Please post your best scores here so I can change the difficulty level to the most suitable.

Please leave your suggestions and Comments!

Really nice abhilash2863.

Although I suck bad at it - I cannot for the life of me use WASD I don't know why maybe it's the years of 8-bit gaming they always used arrows.

One thing that would help would be screen wrap - Like the old asteroids games go to far left warp on the right. I got stuck off screen and had no idea where I was facing or where I was

Also I have no idea why your destructable terrain doesn't work. I made a small example from scratch to see if was a bug in the newest unstable release - but it works fine.

Maybe you can see any difference always easier when you know your way around a .cap.

Nice start so far.

thanks for your comments.

I am no better at playing the game with WASD, but since it's most common I used it. I think i should add customizable controls.

this was on my list, but i just forgot to mention it.

the only difference i can see is that the bigger circle sprite is destroyed after it has been pasted on the cell.

One last request-

what was your best time of survival in the game?? because i think i have made the game a bit harder.

it working now,i just needed to destroy the "pit" sprite to make it work. Thanks

About 45secs, yeah I know I suck, but my brain doesn't process WASD.

Glad you got the terrain bit working, although I'm sure I tried that when poking with the .cap you provided.

Keep it up man.

the game is nearing completion, added some effects, customizable controls and difficulty levels.

Some screens:

the only thing i am stuck at right now is the music, could somebody suggest a good soundtrack for it??

i tried digging newgrounds audio portal but couldn't find anything.

I made two original soundtracks just for this game.

Download:

Here (my website)

or Here (MediaFire.com)

PS: I don't want anything for it! I made it, because I wanted to make it

You just forget to destroy that pit after pasting to canvas

thank you for the tracks!

they are nice,i liked the menu soundtrack more. I think i'll use the menu music in the game and some "pulse" sound loop for the menu.

PS sorry for the late reply
