lerp...very interesting thanks!

Hi,

I am making a game where the camera zooms out the faster you go so you can see more of the upcoming terrain.

The layout has three different levels (layers) of parallax.

My question is: Is it better to scale the layers individually or scale the the whole layout at once?

Is there a marked difference in performance either way?

Thanks... off to work!

Collision filtering please!

Hi Katala,

The feedback i have been getting is a lot like your comment...maybe too hard off the top...no learning curve.

"More time spent dying than flying" (liked that one).

I hope to post Beta 1.1 this weekend, and will drop a note here when it's up and running. Some new animation frames and bits to make it easier to tell when you are in "DANGER OF BLOWING UP".

I really appreciate all comments, and criticisms and compliments.

Many thanks!

Hey Joskin,

Yep noted...will see about skipping levels and search for the "Game Over Space Bar Bug".

This is a huge help!

:)

Thanks Joskin,

It is probably too hard....way points are a good idea, or maybe i need to make a bunch of shorter levels with less stuff to smash into until people get a chance to learn the controls. Been reading about BALANCING a game....

Great comment!

Thanks yaomon17!

I worked to make the file size as low as i could by using tiled backgrounds for most the terrain. The thingy on the bottom of the layout says "approx download 2.9mb Memory use 3.8mb" I wonder if that is a lot?

Anybody else? Is it fun? Too hard? any and all comments appreciated!

Hi Everyone,

I have been working on a game for the last two months and would really appreciate some input from the community.

There is still a ton of things to add (and fix) but at some point someone besides me and my one beta tester is gonna have to play it and tell me if it's fun at all.

No real story yet, just some game mechanics.

So I welcome comments and suggestions and any bugs you may find.

My game is HERE

Looking forward to comments!
