Great job!! Had a feeling this would be N&N for the Mac! Congrats! I already bought and reviewed a week ago

gamesmold

Thanks a lot @ butterbean!

Appshopper tells me it's now place 5 in games, 24 overall. In the US store it's actually 9 in games, in Germany it's already place 4.

gamesmold

OK, place 4 in games US and Germany, above it only Star Wars and the two birds.
20 in US overall, 14 in Germany overall.
I'm excited how it will perform this weekend!

You mean the falling Gamesmold logo? That's no video, just an animation created with the GS physics. Actually, I let a 2D actor fall down and bump onto another actor. And then I use that actors y-position to calculate a 3D perspective view, rendering the Gamesmold logo in the appropriate size and position.

Awesome my friend, MAybe you can beat out those pesky angry birds.

Thank you Tshirt! I'm hoping for the best. But it went back to place 5 again - seems like I can't beat your highscore from last week so easily after all... ;o)

Great Job Mate!!!!!! I can't believe you did that in GameSalad, quicky question though, How did you manage to get the particles effect different colors? I could see you doing only one but it looks FANTASTIC! Also, how do you "Draw" in GameSalad?

Anyways, EXTREMELY impressive, and GREAT job =D Hope it does VERY well!

That's so cool! I've always wanted to be able to do something like that!

Particles are only those that come out of the rocket during flight. When it explodes, I just use two animated graphics with some colorful spots... ;-)

Cool, finally, someone asks! When I started to create this drawing routine, I thought that it would be somewhat revolutionary in Gamesalad (but later on I've found out that some people already had the same idea before me).
It's pretty simple. You use a timer, operating every 0.02 seconds or so, and then simply calculate the angle and distance between the previous mouse position and the current mouse position (can be done using the vectorToAngle and magnitude functions).
And then, you just stretch a very thin actor to that length, rotate it to that angle and place it in the arithmetic mean between those two coordinates. Woop, you got a drawing engine. The first time I worked this out was back in 1998 in Flash 4, that was before Macromedia introduced the Drawing API. It had the same limitations as GS has now, but still you could do almost everything with some little tricks...

And thank you all for the great feedback!
Now it's placed 4 in games and 16 in overall.

I just bought the iPhone version. It's adorable. When there is an update that speeds up the load times I'll give it a five star review on iTunes.

OK, it has been on place 3 in games all this day long. And it has just moved to place 12 in overall, now right behind Garage Band.
Maybe my cow can still catch up with those birds...?
