Katala thanks for the feedback.

Yeah level 6 is pretty much impossible to win at the moment, i think i did it once.

The drop timer (thats the number of shots you have before the bubbles drop down a row) is set to 0 on that level. I havant really done any work on them since i first started making the game, they are really just test levels at the moment.

Everything's coded now though, i just need time to work on devising them which i'll be doing once i get the world map stuff finished.

I'll update the first post as suggested.

Added enemy health bar.

It works by working out the percentage of the level completion based on how many bubbles are left to destroy. Add bubbles and it's health goes up, destroy bubbles and the health goes down. 0 health is no bubbles so level complete.

It's only a rough mockup at this stage, much like other aspects of the game. It needs new text and graphics.

Great work. Looks amazing.

You should use caution when giving out information about yourself (age, sex, location) on a forum. You never know what peoples intentions are.

Added a level title to the game. (ignore the title text, i've just named the levels after fruit for now).

I've also been thinking about the games theme. I've decided to go with a fantasy one. The bubbles will be different monsters, and the main character, currently the arrow, will be a monster hunter...or something.

I've changed the bubble image. It also helps me visually track whats happening with animations, as for example their facial expression will change on collision with wall etc.

I'm also working on a proper level structure. There will be 5 rounds to each level, with each new level introducing a new power up or hazard to the game. It will also feature different enemy and background graphics. You'll also be taken to a map screen at the end of the 5 round to track your progress through the game as is now standard in casual games.

Current version can be player HERE.

Thanks thehen it means a lot coming from you.

Works gotten in the way again so i haven't had much time to work on this, but i did manage to add the "bubble throwing" character. It will be a different enemy each level.

Ashodin what resolution have you made the pc version, 1366 X 768?

It's usually referred to as "shadow casting". There are a number of examples on the forums if you search.

Heres one. http://www.scirra.com/forum/capx-yet-another-shadow-caster_topic75045.html

You could use the "repeat" condition combined with another trigger condition, like

variable = 1

+

repeat N times > create object.

you could combine it with a sub event to create a different object depending on the loop index.

variable = 1

+

repeat N times

sub events>

loopindex = 0 >create object type 1

loopindex =1 >create object type 2

etc.

Pantaloons, thanks for the encouragement.

I'm temporarily using the free sprite font by GeometriX to show scores.

It's counts how many matches were made.

And you get bonus points for difficult shots like rebounding off walls.
