  • Everade Damn you! You beat my best by 1 point! I can't be having that now! ;p In my defence, my best was on my samsung S3 which is a little harder

  • Looking good mate! The run animation and cape looks sweet! I know it's finished, but can I offer a small suggestion? Right now the torso looks a little stiff. Maybe have the head bob a little as well as the torso (so the belt bobs too). I've found tiny details like that can make a huge difference.

  • BTW, does anyone know why the number of downloads is showing for me on the Google Play store? I checked the page on my phone and it shows 0+ downloads, but I know for a fact at least 5 people have downloaded and played it. The number of downloads doesn't even show at all when the page is viewed on my desktop pc..

    Updated the controls for you foreign guys ;p Z is lower left for me.. soz I completely forgot about other keyboard layouts.. hope this one works better for you!

    Everade, thanks man! Glad you also get a kick (pardon the pun) out of beating up that annoying birdie! Yeah the keyboard layout is retarded if you have to press Z in the middle of the top row! hahah Hopefully it's less retarded now ;p

    Have updated the main post but here it is here to save yous going back to that page..

    Slappy Burd Keyboard Update

  • gillenew Yep a nice harmonious colour palette is hard to achieve and you did well!

    I didn't even realise you had a playable version! I must've got mixed up with some other game that only showed screens.. plus the lack of sleep probably affected my eyesight ;p Nice little game! Love the anims on the octopus.. nice and smooth!

    BTW I found this the other day... Colour Palette Creator which looks very cool. Yet to try it myself.

  • Blacksmith Yeah it's not only the hoops, it's the way they word things. Mostly my issues were with releasing a test version but could not for the life of me get that to work, so I just published it. Big risk, but thankfully there were no issues.. so far :}

    I hadn't fixed the score issue by the time you posted. I'd been up 48 hours, so was tired by that point and didn't want to mess things up from my lack of sleep. Fixed now though

    No dosh will roll in since it's a free app. But I have a few ideas for a premium version. Want to see how the free version takes off before I go ahead with that. 50k a day WOULD be nice! Hell I'd even be happy with 50k a year right now ;p

    Ubivis Yeah I could only arrange the keys according to the keyboard I have. I will update it so the player can customize their keys, but since this was really meant for mobile devices, that's quite a low priority. Thanks for the reminder though

    Wisdoms hahah glad you like and thanks for checking it out!

  • oirad haha yeah, the eggshells were put there to catch the player out ;p

    You're the 2nd person who's had issues with the touch movement. I can't replicate that since it works flawlessly on my S3. What device did you try it on?

    Thanks for checking it out! I'll most likely return to this game and tweak a few things, then release on Google Play.. but that touch issue has to be sorted first! :}

  • gillenew thanks

  • No problem. It's quite daunting but once you get into the flow. Remember to install Java SDK (JDK?) 6u38 and not version 7, although I noticed in the comments that someone put a fix when using v7 but can't confirm if that works or not, but 6u38 worked for me perfectly.

  • I just followed this to get my game on Google Play today.. https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/432/an ... h-cocoonjs

    Worked for me. What are you having problems with?

  • Looks sweeeeet! Love the colours!

  • Blacksmith Thanks man!

    hahah I hope there is an audience but hey, at least I learned how to get a game on Google Play with it if nothing else. That was a huge hurdle for me.. just could not be arsed following the steps etc but it's actually easier than it looks, but is still a little arsey in the beginning.. It was Google Play's dev console that took a while to get my head around.

    So I noticed there's a nasty bug urgh.. play a game.. die.. press menu to go back to main menu.. then press play on main menu.. tada score has vanished (I noticed it scroll off when going back to the main menu.. obviously I buggered it in that transition... simple fix though).

    So having to update the apk again, will keep the process of using those tools etc in my mind so no biggie. It's all experience ;p

    Another thing is the permissions when installing on the device... didn't notice until I installed on my android phone from Google Play... came back to these forums to see wtf... and apparently the problem is with Ludei's and it hasn't been sorted yet :/ That could really affect reviews if not downloads. Need to dig deeper on that one too..

  • .....aaaaand... finally got round to finishing it off today and have now put it on Google Play Installs and plays nicely. I used CocoonJS. Was pretty much straightforward but Google Play doesn't make it easy the way they word things, but I got there in the end! I think I'll have a read of their docs over the weekend ;p

    CHECK IT OOT

  • Ahhh well looking forward to seeing the updated version with your changes / additions
