I love the retro LCD look and the controls and sounds are great!
I did find the game a little too easy, after about a minute I just figured I should draw a bunch of horizontal lines in the lower half of the field so the ball won't even come close to the hole:
Maybe there should be a limited number of coexisting platforms?
Also I've noticed one small bug: I can still hear the ball bouncing on the game over screen.
Ahh, thank you so much for playing and the feedback!!
You're totally right, I need to limit the amount of platforms you can draw. I was thinking on limiting the length of the lines drawn as well. To stop full screen platforms.
What do you think would better for getting platforms back?:
- After hitting a platform, you get one back.
- After destroying a block, you get one back.
- Catching the ball..
- scoring X amount of points?..
Really, thanks again man, I really appreciate it! I'll try add the platform limits and sound fix tonight!
You're very welcome. I'd probably go with the first version (hit a platform, get one platform back) or maybe introduce a pixel "currency", where you have N pixels you can use to draw more small platforms but fewer big ones. Come to think of it, maybe simply limiting platform size could suffice as well. Destroying blocks could also raise the platform limit (either permanently or temporarily).. not sure, it's best to playtest it :) which I'd love to do if you make updates!
So i uploaded a new version, its pretty buggy though. I thought i had it figured out in the editor but after playing the build in browser, there are some pretty major bugs.
The core idea for limiting platforms on screen and length is there, so i guess give it try if you can and let me know.
Just need to fix some stuff, somtimes it just lets you place as many at any length, somtimes none at all. Ill try get it fixed asap, thanks for you help dude!
Yep, this is definitely more challenging, although partially because of the bugs :) I'm not sure what could be the issue, sometimes I was only able to draw very small platforms, sometimes I could draw really long ones as well. I'll be back for the next update though!
