  • Awesome. Original question seems fake though, or the guy's an idiot..

    If it was on any site other than Yahoo! Answers, I would've thought the same thing.

    See: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/weekend ... isited.php (kinda NSFW)

  • Hmmm... only getting half a screenshot there...

    That's becuase of the actual forum, since the image is larger than the width of the column. Right-click the image and select view image and it should appear full size.

  • Just played it and I love it! A little on the easy side, in fact, it's impossible to lose! I hit space bar 10 times in a row and I'm still alive (though some did deviate off the path).

    I've always loved Tower Defense games and I wanted to make one using Construct. Well, you've done it first... Can't wait to play the completed version.

    Spacebar abuse!

  • I got just over 3000, probably wouldve had higher had I not accidentally clicked out of the window and die. XD Anyway, it was surprisingly more fun than I had thought it would be. If it had powerups it would be much more fun.

    Not a bad score . Glad you enjoyed it!

    A fullscreen mode will probably help solve that problem, so I'll be looking to add one in the next version. Though first I'll need to change the resolution to one which supports full-screen mode.

    As for powerups, I was thinking of adding health items but mapping an additional attack to right click (maybe like a instant-kill shot with limited ammo? I'll think of something) would be a good idea! Well, stronger weapons will normally mean cranking up the spawn rate, but that's not really an issue.

    I really enjoyed this game actually. Nice controls I think, but then again I used to play Soldat some years ago. If anything, I thought it was to easy to reach the high score. I played it once without a mouse (on a laptop) and off course died pretty soon, but it made me plug in my usb-mouse and try it out. And that time I got something like 6800 without too much of an effort. As mentioned, it would be nice with a fullscreen option so you don�t accidentally click outside the window. You might also consider awarding more points for hitting the flying enemies, since they are more difficult to hit.

    I don�t really like the graphics of the player, the enemies or the ground, however I do find the explosions and those other effects great! As for the sound, I actually think it fits the game pretty good. You won�t win a Grammy for it, but with the weird graphics those odd sounds you call music really match quite well. The music also helps setting the intensity of the gameplay I think.

    Edit: I don't know what I did that second time I played your game, but now I stuggle to get more than 3500, so the difficult level is probably fine as it is.

    That's really an impressive score for a second time playing it My brother has played it around a dozen times but struggles to get above 5000. As mentioned above, I'll likely add a fullscreen mode in the next version, and I do agree with the flying enemies being harder to hit. I'll consider awarding more points, but only a marginal increase.

    I'm glad you liked the music. As for the player sprites and enemy graphics, I completely agree. The enemy graphics were made at first placeholders while the player sprite was a recycled graphic which I used when I first tested construct. I've started remaking a second version of each graphic. They're not going to be great, but they'll hopefully be an improvement. I'll probably leave the ground for now (I like it ) but I'll make it better looking later on.

    So, improvements include:

      - Full screen mode
      • Powerups
      • Redone graphics
      • More points awarded for flying enemy

    Thank you both for the feedback! With your suggestions I'll hopefully be able to make a more enjoyable game

    Oh, and I'll try to post a screenshot of the new player/enemy graphics next week. It all depends on the amount of work I have in the following few days.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • Certainly a game I'm keeping my eye on and if it gets an Australian release and decent reviews, I'll certainly buy it!

    One of the most stunning 2D games I've ever seen and I'd certainly love to see someone with the artistic skills make something similar in Construct

  • Really not bad. Plz make a scrolling Run'n'Gun game with this engine!

    Would be cool if the player could crouch by pressing 2nd mouse button.

    A 'Run'n'Gun' platformer is what I'm looking into and if I do go that route, I'd certainly have a ducking feature. But as already mentioned, I'm focusing on Year 12 now so that'd be in 9 months. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Also, was the game too hard to jump into? As I've been testing it for a while, I can't really determine if it'd be too hard for a first-timer. The default high score was originally 4500 but I changed it to 3500 just before uploading.

    It took my brother a couple of attempts to beat it, but he already had an idea of the controls and had tested it previously.

    The controls might seem intimidating at first, but for anyone who plays it, please don't give up after the first attempt

    Also to all those who have played it: Please post your high scores!

  • Love the depth effect it creates and it certainly gave me a better idea of what can be achieved with loops!

  • It's working fine for me. What version of Construct do you have and has it always been this way? Normally when I have these type of problems restarting Construct/my PC will normally fix the issue.

  • While it's cold and snowing in the UK, it's scorching hot down under in Australia. Melbourne just had it's hottest recorded day of all time, reaching 46.4C (~116F). Insane!

    All latest versions can be downloaded from here!

    Block Forever is a shoot 'em up minigame where your objective is to... shoot 'em up! Your objective in Block Forever is to try and survive the onslaught of enemies which gradually increases the longer you manage to stay alive.

    The project is currently in a developmental stage so not all aspects of the game might be running as smoothly as intended.

    As always, I'm looking for impressions! Love it? Tell me what you love! Hate it? Tell me what you hate! I can't effectively continue improving different aspects of the game if I don't receive constructive feedback!

    Also, post your high scores!

    I hope you enjoy!

  • Man, I'm stumped . Just checked over for the dozenth time (okay, maybe third) and I still can't seem to find the problem...Anyone have any idea on what might be causing the problem? (read my previous post)

  • That happened to me just when I got my laptop working again! Thought it was a virus or something since I used my PC just earlier and everything ran fine...

    Guess it was just a coincidence.
