still not ready to show some code, but here is a video, where im failed on level 3.... Damn the top part, mightbeen too hard.

Since you will got killed a lots in this game (im will use time and kills count up instead of down). Im might limits number of lives in the free version.

I haven't got the time at the moment to try the game or work on graphics etc. but are you wanting to have multiple themes or are you wanting lots of different images so that you can take your pick?

I have some characters that I created for a game a long time ago that might be OK when altered to fit (they are wearing clothes specific to that game, which wouldn't fit with this game). I've also got ideas for a minimalist style that might look good too.
I came. I saw. I played.

Those who downloaded im came to include source code for v0.01, but those who have created graphics im do thinks could been fun to shown the code as well. So im dont worry at all  =D.

Im do thinks  minimalist style would fit the game very well. in v0.02 the main hero also choice a random color when killed. its depend on the final hero im will use this feature, or im can use colored polygon (which also kill iOS perforcement).

I'm do still want help. I'm still thinking I'm go for minimalist style.

Haven´t tried yet, do you have the gfx on our drop box folder?
Will look into it this week. :good:

spacefractal

The game to tryout as well seeing the graphics is in the dropbox. Yes. The download will been in the first post.

Im today soon upload a new release with touch controls as well moving with arrow keys+spacebar (which means on game controllers, its will uses dpad and a button).

This game will of course use GameInput for gamecontroller support.

im got a draft how the main hero could look like:


And yes, its was something like this im have in my head when im created the placeholder. This one is cute and can still been done in the desired two colors (while the colored hopefully can been draw on the top, to give its a random color, but its not a required feature).

im gonna thinks this game would been splitted up to about 5 worlds with each 8 levels. Unlike my other games, you will allways start from level one, but would been select any unlocked worlds. Each world should take about 5-10min to complete.

Property im >might< do a little mini game after the 8th level, which is based on the lives/times you used to complete those 8 levels, then those would been take account when you need to survival in a little bonus level in the end. Howover something im will look on later on. Just ideas.

Currectly im thinks World one is nearly done and only require tweeks to these 8 levels.
