in Announce Your Game!


Check out the video!

Swipe to navigate - EXTREMELY responsive, will be posting tutorial soon (new method, variation on tshirtbooth's)

Can anyone guess how I got the red blocks to move up and down/side to side in unison with each other? - answer below for a free copy to beta test :)

OBJECTIVE:
- you are the white square
- swipe in the direction you wish to travel (up, down, left or right)
- collect the green squares
- avoid all the red ones
- collect the WEAPON power-up to turn the red blocks into green ones for a limited time - collect these to gain points and get rid of red blocks
- 4 gadgets!
---1) invisibility (allows you to pass through the red blocks)
---2) x2 (doubles all points
---3) magnet (attracts green squares and power ups to you)
---4) megacoin (adds 100 points - not working in the video lol, yikes!)

** the weapon power-up will eventually yield different types of weapons, here are some of the things I have in mind:
1) what it does now
2) black hole (tilt to move the black hole to destroy the reds)
3) a machine gun to blow the red up
4) ..... any suggestions? If I decide to use your idea I'll include you in the credits!

    I apologize for the crappy video quality, it looks really good on retina devices (there are stars moving at different speeds in the background)

    (jump to 1:10 to see the red blocks in the top left and bottom left corners move in unison with each other)

    Looks like fun !

    For the top left hand side red block:

    Y position = 471
    +
    Constrain X position to 14*sin( game.Time *360)+32

    The other blocks are sync'd to the same game.time clock.

    ??

    [weapons] ..... any suggestions?

    Maybe if you hit a certain block it gives you two copies of your 'spaceship' - although they are in different locations they both follow the same controls - but the doppelganger 'spaceship' can't be killed.

    It expires after a while.

    Watch this and it'll make sense:

    I want a full screen Retina portrait of me at the start of your game - and I want it to be on screen for at least 2 minutes - accompanied by the music of Rebecca Black.

    P.S maybe also have a more random enemy, one that is hard to predict where he is going.

    Here's a quick randomly wondering enemy for you, he could be laying mines too (the little white trail) ??

    Turn the speed up for some real fear ! ; P

    Here's another quick enemy, he wonders around and every now and then craps out some space mines.
