ya upload them to imgur.com and then copy the link from there. Thats what I do.

#22

done :slight_smile:

Well I thought the clouds looked nice :slight_smile:

First, I think the music that plays on the main menu should play in game too! Its really good and I was sad when it stopped after hitting play :frowning:

Second, its a little too hard. I find myself just tilting my phone all the way to one side and I just hope I don’t die! Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t but not going fast is actually more suicidal than going fast.

Third, there aren’t enough power ups being spawned in. I saw a total of one in around 10 games and I didn’t manage to get it because I was going so fast :stuck_out_tongue:

But overall its a good concept :slight_smile:

For me it was just too fast to be enjoyable. Like others I was just hoping not to die while I semi-randomly tilted my tablet.
You should avoid those intrusive ads, specially when they appear right on top of the retry button.
Thr music is really nice. The graphics are polished and consistent.
I think you have a good game here, but you should improve the gameplay to make it more appealing to the masses.

Thanks for your constructive comments !

Let’s try to answer to them.

  • First, I thought the game was too easy when I was testing it. But perhaps movements are too “shaky” !
    I will try to make them more stable and less fast. A kind of “anti-shake” system.

  • The fact about going fast is due to some gaps that can be tooo big. I will add some checks to ensure that gaps can’t be too big.
    Less big gaps + anti-shake system will surely solve most of the gameplay problems !

  • Powerups are quite rare because I wanted to have a first “clean” version with not too big scores. So now, I will add one or two more powerups, less powerful than the heart-shield one. And this last one will be a bit less rare.

  • I don’t want the music to be a complete pain (despite the fact I composed it to be a pain :D), I plan to add a softer music (a bit less meowy) to prevent your ears from bleeding when playing too much.

  • For the ads on the retry page, it was already a question in my mind. I think a banner appearing randomly during the game and only for a few seconds would be less intrusive and less error-clicking.

Next update will come at the beginning of the week !

Hanggliding Dog is a nice idea but Red Bird is a little bit boring…

#31

yep, I was trying some enemies…

#32

Sooooooo… what are your best scores ???

#33
  1. Sidekeeping useless now, good job!
    What about something like Jetpack Mouse instead of the normal bird there? Or make the bird more special…
#34

yes, good idea !

I love your game. Really cool. I loved the sound the cat makes when dying.
