It's been a priviledge in helping you with this as it's a game thats really close to my heart as I've been playing it for 31 years and counting lol. This build is really good mate! I would suggest turning the players fire rate down a little as it's faster than the previous build and thats it I think the rest is spot on :) Cheers
And we managed to do it in just 5 days, too! I'm so glad others will get to try out this game now too. Okay, I've updated the dev build if you want to try out the new fire repeat rate before the release.
5 days is really good going, i got to level 15 scoring just shy of 3k. I feel this is absolutely spot on now as i cannot just sit in the corner due to the fire rate, this also means i have to do a lot more ducking and diving (pun not intended 🤣) it's now more of a challange and yeah 5 days ins't bad going at all, I say go for the release :D Oh I almost forgot, when you lose your last life and your score matches or is lower than your highest score it plays the normal die sound, but when you beat your high score and you lose your last life it plays the note yours does and thats it, the game play is spot on :) thankyou for coding this beloved game
Cheers :)
Erm I did not expect to score this high, I past 4500 with all 3 lives intact and eventually died after pressing the right arrow key too many times at 6040. It really felt like the best speed, the speed of the sharks coming up is fine, would it be possible to speed the sharks up at the bottom significantly after every level between 8 & 12? heres a screenshot :)
Hmm... that's going to then create a big jump in speeds between level 7 and 8 though. Maybe let's try this first. I've updated the build so the cap is now at level 14 instead of 12. This way you'll get the speed boost for both the bottom and rising sharks, but there won't be a big jump in speeds between level 7 and 8. It's probably going to be too fast at level 14 (well for most humans anyway ;-) but I can always then reduce the speed till it's just right. Give it a try and let me know.
