  • Hmm... interesting. Thanks for the help!

  • Hey. Making a speedy wee game that requires quick reflexes. It works okay on PC, but when playing it on Android, the frame rate's all over the place. It's usually flopping about from 50 to 60, which makes some jumps hard to nail. Is there any way to set the maximum frame rate to 50 n' never let it go over? I think that'd sort these problems out.

    thanks for your help.

  • this is great man. the level assembling effect is great! are you parsing a TMX or something?

    I've no clue what that even means, man! Haha! I'm just using a plugin called move_to to move them to the correct position when the player gets close. It might be a performance hog, but I kinda just make this stuff up as I go. Haha!

    The new gifs of the finalized robot and toy lands are amazing! The toy world especially is an interesting one. Great job there. One of the really good ones here this production of yours is.

    Thanks a lot, man. I'll put that in my ego box for later!

    This looks amazing! Such a fun concept.

    Thanks, lad!

  • I used 'on tap', but it seems slower than 'is touching' or 'on touched'. Thanks a lot for the help, lads.

  • Mario 3 and old silly cartoons with animals hurting each other. Haha!

  • Hey. Thanks for all the lovely words, guys. Been chipping away at it more over the Christmas holidays. I've updated the original post with more GIFS.

  • Hey. Got my controls set up like this: Left side of screen to shoot fireball, right side to jump, swipe to slide. But if I swipe, it shoots or jumps depending on where I swipe. Is there a way to ignore a touch action if I'm swiping? So I don;t accidentally do those other 2 moves?

    Thanks for the help.

  • Thanks for the kind words, guys.

    The cactus(?) looks so bad-ass! Love it! Do you have other enemies in mind?

    I sure do. Gonna do a flying enemy too. The enemies' designs will change with different worlds 'cause they'll be set in the usual platformer themed levels like ice worlds, volcanos, space.

    Not that everything in the game would need a logical explanation but how come that lasers found their way to block Piggy from finding water? Is there some evil mastermind behind all this who hid the chili in his food in the first place?

    That laser level will be set in a futuristic cyber factory or space or something. lasers look outta place in a dessert. As for who put them there? I have no idea, let's just say it was some paranoid alien!

  • Hey, thanks for the feedback, lad. That's a cool idea about running on four legs, but I'm already attached to the slide 'cause it looks stupid as hell! Haha!

    A wee update. I've added some baddies to the levels. Check this guy out.

    Here's a new level (with placeholder graphics, those red things are lasers!)

  • Thanks! Tried the overlapping at offset idea, it works, but only if I've landed on the block, if I just run onto it, there's no change. Hmm...

    Both objects have rectangle collision polygons.

    Took out the Trigger Once n' everything is well! Thanks again for you help! Really appreciate it.

  • I'm still a bit of a C2 noob. I assumed that if I didn't, it would just keep resetting the shake animation for as long as the player stood on the block. I've tried it without the Trigger Once, but it doesn't help. Tried just making the block explode on collision, but that doesn't work either. It;s a head scratcher.

  • Hey. Having some trouble with these wee blocks that should blow up when they collide with the player, If you check the GIF, you can see that SOMETIMES they do and others they don't. I have no idea why this would happen. Has anyone come across anything like this before?

  • Makes you laugh, eh? Haha! Great. I'm gonna have a wee intro story bit at the start. It's about a pig who eats a chilli (that's why he can shoot fireballs), he turns red n' can't stop running until he finds some water.

    faster music for faster speed is a brilliant idea. Thanks.

  • Hey. Started working on a wee platformer, something simple that my 4 year old nephew could play, but with a bit of extra depth for people looking for a challenge.

    You can take the game slowly n' just pass the levels if you want something casual. Like this...

    Or put the pedal to the medal n' speed through it...

    Some Piggy animations. Just for the craic.

    Some more speedy shenanigans (level tiles aren't applied yet, of course).

    I'd sure appreciate any comments or feedback. Anyone wanna help me with some playtesting?

    UPDATE 04.01.16

    Some new GIFs to check out.

    The robot world comes with DEADLY LASERS!

    The toy world is assembled before your very eyes!

  • Jaysis! that fixed it. I need a good facepalming! Haha!

    I assumed it wouldn't affect it 'cause they weren't actually overlapping. But that did the job. Thanks.
