    I actually bought your game! YAY!

    It's very, very good. I can't get off the first stage, but I like playing it, so you've got a winner there!

    Maybe look into how easy it is for Dave to fall off his bike? Seems to happen way too often when I'm playing it!

    Congrats though - I like it! :D

    Bought game, played it for a while, and given it a 5 star review on the UK appstore.

    Great game. Im really enjoying it...its got a really fun vibe to it.

    So who's the real life Dave, and did he have a stunt double? And was that your grandparents you had to scare, to get the animations on the bench? It looks like you had a lot of fun outdoors during the making of the game :)

    The one thing I think it could possibly benefit from, in a future update, would be some more animations for Dave, for when he pulls off a big jump or a crazy move... but apart from that small suggestion, I really like what youve created.

    From a technical point of view, do you build Dave and the bike from seperate actors, or is it just one big animated actor?
  • Marc_n_SophMarc_n_Soph Member Posts: 111
    Hey thanks chunkpixels, really appreciate that. We both really like your suggestions for more anims too!! We will DEF do that for an update.

    Dave is Sophs dad, the people on the bench are my mum and dad, and the guy in the bin (yeah, in the bin, you'll find him) is me mate simon. Just filmed him bustin some moves for our next game. "Dave on bike" actor is one anim of 17 pngs, and the "fall off" actor is just one png. Just looks like its at different angles cos we constrained it to player rotation so when it spawns, its at the right angle. There is also another single image actor for the bike.

    When crash=1
    Destroy dave_on_bike
    Spawn Fall_Off_Dave
    Spawn Just_Bike

    Thanks again m8

    Thanks mad poet!!

    Hahaha! How could I NOT buy it with those screen shots?!?!?!

    Downloading now... though I'm not happy about the controls being around the wrong way... joysticks/pads are supposed to be on the left!!!!

    LOL. I'll play first before I yell any more... looks awesome ;)

    EDIT: Just played it, controls actually work pretty well! Awesome game! Just managed to beat level one under 60 sec... hilarious stuff! Love it!

    Will leave a 5 star review for you in the Aussie store.

    Also, how did you do the loopable backgrounds? I'm having issues with my scrolling with pictures pulling apart from each other over time (only happens sometimes).
  • Marc_n_SophMarc_n_Soph Member Posts: 111
    Hi polygame thanks for nice comments and awesome review!! Really appreciate that m8. The backgrounds are About 512 pixels wide and have one "seamless" image tiled in the actor attires. Graphics -tile x fix y. Then just stretch out the actor as far as u like. I Made them 512 as when I made them 480, the joining seam was really shown. Bit bigger image seemed to remedy this. I also had real probs with spaces creeping in between two actors when I used the two actors dancing around each other method so I did it this way. Seems to work ok! Post if u need any help with seamless images, thanks again for awesome review!

    Ah, thanks for that... not sure if it would work for my game as it would have to be massive as the stages don't end until you've killed the boss... which can take some time. I could use a combination of both methods... ie have a big BG that repeats itself... les chances of the "gap" and the gap would be much less frequent (luckily they're not too noticeable as the layers are all quite small in height, not full screen as I'm doing parallax scrolling).

    No worries about the review. It's fun. I was actually planning a game very similar as I LOVED Kikstart 2 but I'm finishing my shooter first and I've got another one I need to do first too...
