Have fun and post your best runs :)

Hi guys :)

The latest prototype is here! Buster is a very heavy bowling ball, and Billy is a disappearing block, who does't like being poked. Together they will show you a bit about the tween behaviour and screen shake.

Hi BadMario

Thank you for the links and the tips!

I've played both of the games and they are very cool, I especially love runback - what a cool idea :)

I'm gonna figure something out for my leaderboards - would be very cool to have them built into my site somehow, so I'll see what I can come up with.

AllanR Wow, that's impressive! You guys must be from another planet lol.

Also, that's really good feedback. I agree 100%, that this would be a nice addition. I'm gonna think of a nice/simple way of presenting it, and implement it in this weeks game, then if it works well - update the older ones.

Again, I really appreciate the feedback :)

Hi AllanR

Thanks heaps for the feedback and for spotting the bug :) I'll make sure its fixed soon!

P.S. That's a really good score, and funnily enough my highest (and I made it lol). Guess what tho, one of my gamedev friends scored over 120 (I don't think he's human btw) - makes me think I need to make some adjustments at the higher difficulty haha.

Mikal - Thank you for the feedback! I'm happy you like the game :)

As I go through this challenge, I'd like to make the games quiet varied in both mechanics and gameplay. It will be interesting to see what choose to make in the upcoming weeks. One thing I've noticed already, is that I'm learning a ton - not only about Construct 3 (which is a absolutely amazing), but about working smarter in general.

BadMario - Mochiads were cool while they lasted :) Thanks for the info, I will have better look into it, as I'd definitely love to add some score / achievements etc.

PS. Where can I find your games... I checked your profile, but no links :(

#7daygame number three is done!

You can play 'Cursed Jewels' here... ninjadoodle.com/games/cursedjewels

From a technical aspect, and what I've learned this week, I'm the happiest with this one out of the three so far. I'm also very happy with the level layout I ended up going with, and feel like it plays and flows well. The one reservation I have, is that it might be too difficult for anyone who isn't used to skill games. I will let you guys judge :) My best score (under pressure) was 12 jewels, while Charlie (my wife) got 4. Have fun and post your best runs :)

Under CONSTRUCTion time :)

Let me introduce you to Helga Heli, a tiny helicopter with a German seal of quality. If you guys want to learn a little about the Pin Behaviour in Construct 3, Helga will help you out :)

Watch the tutorial...

Hi Mikal

Thanks heaps for the feedback! Love the ideas - I was thinking of possibly doing something similar when I finish :) Who know yet what shape it will take, but I'm excited and enjoying the journey/challenge.

The scores thing is a really great idea, and something I've really been wanting to implement.

Sadly, I wouldn't know the first thing about setting up a high-scores framework (and currently don't have any spare time to learn), but I've been looking at one that a Gamedev friend created.

If I can't get it to work with Construct 3, I might hire somebody to make me a plugin in the near future.

Thanks again :)
