    I do like the game, but was wondering if there's any plans to do a 'swipe left or right' to move the saucer at all?

    Cheers,

    QS :D

    Do you feel that the buttons a not responsive enough? Might be a good idea to add an touch control option. Thanks for the feedback:)

  • JohnPapiomitisJohnPapiomitis Member Posts: 6,256
    Thanks for the feedback qs, we have a update planned soon so that will be something to look into ;)

    John/Dhondon,

    How did you guys do the "saucer?" I'm making a game like brick breaker and am interested in how you got the saucer and shots to bounce off in an arc-like manner. Is it a Circle collision type or is it done with some type of coding?

    Thanks guys!

    Amazing and then some!

    This should do well on the iPad and Mac as well.

    I can imagine that on a larger screen, you rival a lot of games. $9.99 should be worth the risk?

    Basically my first game I have ever bought and played .... But I died :-(

    Went down in flames shouting: "I know the guys who made you"! .... but those rude little Messerscmidt's didn't give a damm

    No problem. It's not so much that the controls are unresponsive, it's just that a common mistake of a lot of devs is to have the graphic the same size as the actor.

    This just makes things a little fiddly sometimes, especially if the controls are small, and the action is hotting up!

    The player's attention should be on the main screen, where the action is, not on finding the exact X/Y of the buttons!

    Believe me, it's nothing personal - I've seen far worse, and I'm still enjoying the game! I just imagined that a swipe left or right on the upper screen - or anywhere on the screen - might suit the game better?

    Anyway, nice one! Still playing it!

    QS :D

    @xylo i dont know how i would make it threw class wihtout you making me laugh hehe, and im honored you bought it! :D

    @QS im really glad you like it! Maybe in the update have the option to switch between the controls how they are, and then a swipe like you said? hmmm ;)
