This game shall be hard. It is, at it's heart, an arcade game — and I want to be hard. Easy as you start out, but the higher levels should be reserved for the most hardcore of casual gamers. There is always someone who can go higher.
I'm guessin it gets a whole lot faster than that. I think you're gonna hit a cieling on how fast you can make it though, before it gets unfair. I'd say make the rocks smaller, so the player'd have less distance to dodge, cos then you could have it ramp up to being like twitch-fast.

Oh my good that is so beautiful I lack words! I'd like to print that and hang it up... somewhere! ...you know, you just gave me a brilliant idea. Selling huge high-quality prints of game mockups made by amazing artists.   |

Selling huge high-quality prints of game mockups made by amazing artists. Lmao, I actually did this at my last art show printed off a few mockups. It actually worked, people bought the prints out. So it is a liable idea. But yes this game is looking slick, just like it has from the start. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PpRfLYmXjINew video! Couple of things we are working on: Visibility of rocks Some more visual feedback when things happen on screen Those slightly out of place looking buttons are temporary

Rock visibility could use a little work. They weren't hard to see once I noticed them, but I didn't even realize that there were any rocks until :35 in the video.
Other than that looks great so far!

I always assumed this game was going to be super speedy, and yet the rocks move ever so slowly compared to the foreground (the parallax scrolling is pretty neat by the way). You should probably widen the screen to some sort of super widescreen ratio (3:1 or 5:1 ?) and increase the rocks' speed. I'm not too sure about the music either, it's too mellow for a screaming exploding guy (where is that scream by the way?). That's my 2 cents anyway, sorry if you weren't looking for criticism.  |

I don't have sound on me here, but I agree that the rocks blend heavily with the background.

I'm not too sure about the music either, it's too mellow for a screaming exploding guy (where is that scream by the way?). That's my 2 cents anyway, sorry if you weren't looking for criticism. Your speed increases as the level increases (level display is on the bottom left). That's one of the on screen items we want to bring more attention to. While it may not look it, even at these early levels and at this slow speed, the game is fairly tough, I have yet to make it past level 10, which is long before the wall of fire and falling rocks start to appear. While a scream would be novel, it could also get pretty damn annoying for a lot of people. So i chose not to include it. Quite a few people have commented on the music, I'm considering changing it. Perhaps. Rocks! We can see them now.  |
