Loved the game! :D The music and concept are very original. Nothing quite like it. A few things:

• The .swf seemed to randomly decide it wanted to be as big as my maximum resolution would allow (1600x1050). This is seemed to cause some pretty heavy graphical lag.
• I was left wondering what purpose the gauge on the left served. Same with the multiplier. As far I can tell, it mainly repeated the information available when my flower's radius grew after eating blue and green rocks
• Some of the levels would end me understanding how I had completed them. I am sure there were still some blue and green rocks to feed my plants.

Keep up the great work! This would make a killer Wii port.

The Lost Vikings!

If you are investigating the current RTS space I would recommend finding some info on a few MOBA's (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) currently released or in production. League Of Legends, Heroes Of Newerth. Bloodline Champions is currently in Open Beta I believe.

League Of Legends as been making waves in that regards and is technically free to play. It's not a pure RTS per say, but it takes it rooks in them and develops interesting mechanics and gameplay. Plus it as terrific metagame that I quite enjoy.

Sorry for the bias, I'm just enjoying the heck out of it.

I personally like the concept of crazy button mashing to be fun.

Great job. There's a solid foundation here.

Just Toy Tank and nothing else? Boring.

My opinion as well, but everyone else thought it was extremely simple, straightforward and ultimately easier to find on the AppStore.

With the person in charge of producing, we decided on the title "Toy Tank". Fine enough, I guess.

Dying from asphyxiation in the vacuum of space.

So traumatizing.

The key is that you keep the alliteration

Tiny Tank Tumble

Ahah! That's neat. Tumble doesn't quite convey the sense of light-hearted conflict we're looking to express here.

For some reason, I am always disturbed when my character gets petrified. It greatly unnerves me, I think it's awesome.

Me and a team are working on a 3D iPhone game featuring toy tanks fighting in oversized environments, not unlike Micro Machines. We're using the Unity Engine and it's coming out extremely well. It should be released at the end of the summer. So far I have a few name ideas:

Micro Tank Mayhem
Micro Tank Rumble
Micro Tank Battle
Toy Tank Mayhem
Toy Tank Rumble
Toy Tank Battle
Small Tank Rumble
Small Tank Battle
Mini Tank Mayhem
Mini Tank Rumble
Mini Tank Battle
Tiny Tank Mayhem
Tiny Tank Rumble
Tiny Tank Battle

We're trying to catchy name or acronym. I can't show screenshots yet, sorry. If you could help me by telling me which of these doesn't completely suck, or suggest some ideas you might have, that would simply splendid.

These are great examples so far!  Anyone know of games that actually switch up gameplay style and mechanics in real time?

Maybe Henry Hatsworth was actually innovating, because I can't think of any other game that does something similar to it.

If you had to juggle both constantly then I'd find it more interesting due to the split-brain requirement.

In my game (it's called Flubs, released in a few weeks), I am automating the switch between modes (destruction/construction) to make it easier for casual players. Each gameplay mechanics are tied to a single mode. It comes out slightly forced.

So I'm left wondering if it's the mode switch that's being communicated badly or the mechanic that's just simply being broken or not refined enough.

Heck, I've tried running an entire ship on my own...that is hard.

Dear GOD, I can imagine.

bayou billy, perhaps

Interesting! I wasn't aware of that game.

Hello everyone. I am presently doing research on games that offer complementary gameplay modes that are connected yet completely different.

I think the best example I can give is Henry Hatsworth and the Puzzling Adventure for DS. It is both an old-school platformer and puzzle-action game. Watch this video  (

) and see for yourself. It's a-ma-zing.

I am currently working on a puzzle action game that combines strong elements Arkanoid, Tetris and Puyo Pop. The player will switch between two modes: one where he destroys blocks or groups of same-colored blocks, the other where he deposits falling pieces. My ultimate goal is to find a way to convey the playstyle switch in an enjoyable and natural process.

Does anyone know of any games, indie or otherwise, that offer this kind of experience?
