thanks guys. you are all great.
Updates:
- Menu added to the game. still needs the "Evil Tower" and the main player animation, that's going to take the most work. I want to add some Ambient animation too.
- the Money amount changes to Gold, when the player beats the current High Score.
- the Night bar Fills up now since you are exploring during the day.
- Spider enemy added. it lays down webs which if you are on them give you a -1 move.
- temporary music track in. just to get the sound level and muting code working.
- started work on animated water for in the levels.
hope to have a new build out to testers this week.

getting the Options Menu in, which means I need a way to access it.  which of the three on the left do you think works the best for an options menu? any other ideas? Edit: the options menu will be underground so when you hit it the screen would scroll down. I could also do a down arrow. the player would only need to hit it once to know what it is. would that work better? Edit2: any stats you would like to see recorded? I have total wins, total deaths, enemies killed, and total gold collected. (not sure if it should only count gold you win with though) |

A "?" makes me think "help" not "options". The gear is becoming pretty common as an options/config/preferences icon, but the wrench kind of works too. Will the title animate? I wouldn't have it touching the tower like that. |

The down arrow could work, especially since the player is likely to press it and then they'll know what it means from then on. Also moves taken might be another good statistic to know. Would be interesting to see how many moves it took to get the gold you get.
Think it should also only count gold you win with and ignore when you die with it. Or else you could end up with higher scores by aiming for gold and not worrying about dying.

Franklins Ghost: moves taken is a pretty good idea. originally the options screen had player grid, music,sfx, and reset Data. it also had room for 4 stats. Maybe I should make a button that beings up a separate Stats screen or is 4 stats enough and I just need to pick the best 4.

For a small game 4 stats is enough and I think he was talking about the title going over the tower.

The title box overlaps or sits on the top of the tower in that pic. I'd separate them. |

I dont think I have much room. I also want to make the Tower much Larger so it will have to overlap. the other idea is I might make it a cave instead of an evil tower. which means that it wouldn't overlap.

I like the tower and if you did do it larger and made it stick out from the top of the title also, it would help.

Either extend the tower above the title box, or put it in the mountains – it can look massive just by playing with scale.

the plan will be to have the player run into it so It needs to be in the the front.
Updates:
- Full working options screen now, including stats and reset data.
- New Enemies: Snail and Wolf.

Question for everyone. right now when you get a treasure chest you either get 1,3,5,10. right now I have an icon for each one. would it be better to just have one icon (The Coin) but still give the player a random amount. I could also note the amount under the current gold amount +1, +3, +5, +10. any comments?

Well I wanted to get a lot done, but spent most of the day playing Kerbal Space Program and cooking. sooooooo maybe tomorrow. I should have a new build for the people I have testing. if you would like me to send you a build just leave a message here, or PM me.
