I am prefering the competitive approach (Dota 2) to grinding. Grinding is annoying for me.

This has the basic option except shooting the meteor (but you can implement that easily enough imo):

edit: guess I misunderstood the game a bit, but at least it has checking for the correct answer in it, you now only need to combine it with your meteors.

Why not use a 2d array?

If you can only save a string for each highscore, convert the array to such a string when saving and convert the string to the array when loading.

Not a bad solution with the padded zeroes —

Litetween would work indeed.

You're right about gameplay. Games have evolved into a completely new form of interactive storytelling in the last 25-30 years, but at their core, they're meant to beplayed. If a game these days has an amazing story and breath-taking graphics, but the game itself is a chore to play, then it's a bad game.

That's why the term "game" is antiquated to use for our medium as a whole. People start using the term "interactive experiences" and videogames are just a part of the whole.

Obviously people are going to compare. Also people are liking different things. As small developer you probably will not make it right for everyone (even the big developers can't). Good thing to have is some sort of "selling point", something that sets your game apart from the mass in a good way. Then you'll attract people that like that.

This is why Apple sucks (okay, not only because of that, there are a lot of reasons ^^)

WC3 uses tiles + cliffs + a height map (and units, structures and doodads on top of it). It is 3D, emulating all that in construct is not feasible. That doesn't mean that you cant create a two-dimensional RPG map, like in SNES RPGs etc..

I have no problem with just hitting launch in Steam, then doing it again. Right now I have 2 instances of C2 open and Kerbal Space Program.

I've had that working like that on one computer as well, but it didn't seem to be replicatable.

Extra credits is a good show indeed.

immediately placed on steam a negative vote on the program constructor 2 and I was not the only

or also requested an immediate refund via paypal [...] constructor 2?

constructor

immediate negative vote steam for construct 2

Steam version of junk

Multiaccount? ^^

You know that by raging around you won't reach your target (refund) any better but instead annoy the people that have to deal with you, making success less likely :D.

Browse to your steam folder, steamapps/common/construct2

start construct2.exe there. Steam will register it as free version, but when it runs, it will be the registered version. Additionally to that you can run the Construct 2 personal from steam. This way you can at least run two instances.

If that doesn't work, then it has something to do with symbolic links I guess, since I've made one for construct. Use the mklink command or try the steam mover for that task.

Arguing over price if futile anyway. It is their choice and they have to make a living with it, so they need to sell it at that price. If they can, guess the price is fine. One might think the pricing is too high, and yes, they might be right, but it is no use to argue with their business decision. It is the difference between people wanting 1 dollar for their apps or 10 dollars. I know that the 1 dollar one will probably outsell the 10 dollar one by a hundredfold, if the apps are of not too different quality. Not to mention that a community driven app will gain advantages from a larger community. So in the end: yeah, it is smarter to sell for an affordable price in many cases of virtual goods (thats why F2P-games work, you bring many new customers in by deleting the entry barrier and then profit off the big community later on in some way), but everyone with a product has to decide how he wants to sell his product.
