next step : add malus and things to make the game more difficult.

Hi guys!

News about my game:

-new malus : Reverse malus
-add new sounds for some events
-Now "spiders" launch liquid. If player hit liquid, a web immobilizes him for 1 second.
-bonus calculation if much faster now
-New gfx for loading and game over screen (wip)
-Music does not start at every level.
-I tried to change some code to avoid -1 lives bug.

Please, can you test it ?

I really like your attitude to that whole game thing. you stay on it and don'T change your mind all the time, but the same time, you are creative and bring in really good ideas to the game =)

*opens a fanclub*

botu, you should really follow the advices of Ichiro and his strategy of advertising his games.

Thx I have lot of ideas to add in the game. In fact, actually the game could by boring after 10 or 20 levels. I want to introduce elements of gameplay after x level, and x levels after new elements again.
I have to find a way to share the game too. (adv, website,..)

I will create an option for child too (ball slower, spiders don't shoot, bonus used directly when picked..)

Thx for testing!



You'r right! First step is maybe to create a little movie and a web site?

New version, with dds textures max 256/256. I gain 40 meg memory and the game looks more faster. Can you tell me how it works on yours systems ?

Great additions, great monsters and great sound, when the ball gets lost.
I'll test it tomorrow relating the performance, seems to be better now, I'm not sure whether it is good enough.
It is not clear what the "kamikaze ball" is about, until one clicks right mouse button and sees a stone disappearing.
The panels with the results and points and such are too early and too fast and too blurry and too fast disappearing.

The black small monsters with the dirty food steps are fantastic!

kamikaze ball destroy all and don't bounce (except mushrooms). A good combo is to
get multiball *6 and use kamikaze ball just after

One question, I want to create an online "best time per levels". Tables with faster players for level 1,2,3.... What is the "easiest" way to do that ? (note the "" )

Did you see Damocles' test with an online highscore?

Another feedback about the game:
it is annoying that one has to start from the beginning when he lost instead of starting from the level after the level that one already won.
In casual games it is common to start from the last started level.

The level editor looks easy to use, maybe, you should make the element which moves with the mouse pointer invisible, when the mouse pointer is on a panel.
