Introducing the best pocketpc game ever...

There's a blatant shortage of original ppc games out there, so I give you my concept:

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
I can render all the art assets and I have people who can do music/voice - now I just need ppc coders.
It's kinda a 3D pre-rendered ride utilizing the touch screen interface unique to ppc to get you feeling as if you were in the cockpit.
You control the gunpod/weapons systems but not the flight path, your sexy female pilot does all the flying.
What do you think of the idea?

if you don't control the flight path, isn't this just a 2d shooter with nice background? Like Operation Wolf!? Al you've got to do is tap on the asteroids/tie fighters etc?
Just a suggestion for the gameplay - in one of the pics you've indicated the player is taking hits from behind. That will be impossible to prevent/predict in a 2d on-rails shooter - so perhaps something like the scanner in elite, as a radar, will allow you to 'see' what's going on behind you. However, doing that in 320*240 won't be easy I guess!

Actually, off the top of my head there's two ways to prevent it - as indicated you can set shields forward or rear, also, if there is a section of the level where you are being attacked from behind; the turret (pre-rendered camera) can just turn around and look behind the ship for awhile - it'd appear dynamic even though it was (all) pre-conceived.
And yes, it's a shooter with a nice background, not really like op wolf though.. i'd say more like einhander + mechwarrior II + rebel assault.

really so little interest?

looks very nice for a spacesim. More detail, upgrades, powerups, options..multiplayer?...

Yes there is alot of different configurations for weapons and so forth planned - I really want to achieve the level of customizability and interaction in mechwarrior II (I always remembered how I loved the way you had to powerup and setup your mech before heading in to battle) and weapons configurations inspired by the classic einhander backed by a great story that makes you want to play over and over.
I was thinking of making a demo video but if I can't find coders, it's all for not..

ok where can i get it from ?????
Looks very good to me

Bro, it's still under developement.
Nice game, can't wait to beta test

Is it any harder coding for ppc than other platforms?
Is it similar to programming for x86, just compiled differently?
There just seems to be so little out there...

Look for a book called Win CE Application Programming.

I can't go learning how to program, it's too far from my field. I really need volunteer coders.

amazing, my favorite genre

Great
thanks I liked it

Pretty cool game, art is good and implementation is pretty solid.
Couple quick notes: consider not using a wake lock
Device battery life will be significantly affected by the use of this API. Do not acquire WakeLocks unless you really need them, use the minimum levels possible, and be sure to release it as soon as you can.

(from android sdk PowerManager reference)
Try using
Code:
this.setKeepScreenOn(true);
inside your main View instead.
On the first playthrough there was a considerable delay between all the boxes being knocked over and the end-game screen coming up, consider bridging this gap by disabling touches and putting up colors/streamers during this time.
Also, the targeting bars shown in the first level are pretty helpful - consider keeping some version of them throughout the game! (How does it look if they are faded/more subtle?)
Lastly, kudos on your ad placement - it's out of the way, yet still visible.

I will check the setKeepScreenOn feature!
Disabling the touch will cause the impression that the game is frozen, which is not. It is waiting everything stabilize (the same happens on angry birds). Maybe some feedback to the player might be useful, i will think about it!
I will think about the target bars!
Thanks for the feedback!

iatll,
I did what you suggested: removed wakelock permission and added keepscreenon!
thanks! =)

This is great news. Finally the PAC is back. Flashing right away.

Not bad. I just installed it and I gotta say, it looks quite good. Certainly pays homage to the game that started it all. I just hope that Namco doesn't have anything to say about you using one of their most iconic figures without permission.
Could you please attach the apk to your post so that people without Play store access can get it as well? Thank you and thanks for sharing.

Hi, I just uploaded on google play a puzzle platformer game I made using libgdx, I'll be updating and fixing bugs in the coming days,
if anyone can download it and check the performance on your device (android 3.2+) would be great.
• On Screen Analog Stick
• Physics
• Pixel Art
• Increasing Difficulty
• Simple to learn
• Challenging puzzles
• No ads
• Free
Get it on Google Play

Great. Fun game with lots of variety during gameplay. Easy enough to pick up and play. Hard enough to keep my interest.

thanks

can i up the thread?

up

It looks really hard, but only at first look. Can you make posting of scores? I got hight scores, I wonder is there somebody else who could get more?

you mean scores as the highest level you reached? I could add an online score with it on the next update, good idea

Here's a gif showing how to solve level 7, for anyone stuck there
http://imgur.com/uQJD2gt

Added Online Ranking and Achievments, minor bugs fixed!

Good job

Nice, the pacing is perfect; gradually bringing in new concepts. I'm also going to give a positive review on google play.
One thing though; on level 4 the stone has a tendancy to roll away from the door platform and it feels more irritating than a challenge. Also on my screen (galaxy S3) the stones appeared distorted it is always wider than it is tall (even after rolling)
Other than that; perfect

Nice work! Look good

thanks, can u post a screenshot of the distorted stone? I have a galaxy S3 too and it looks fine :/
at level 4 the stone is bigger than other levels and go up isn't difficult, maybe it should have other levels before helping players become familiar with the control

I've taken a screenshot. The stone is wider than it is tall, but after it rotates it's still wider than it is tall

thanks, I'll try to fix that on the next update

It looks easy. Too bright green as for me. Controls are not comfortable

Nice concept, I think the graphics and performance need a little polish, also it should default to landscape as my device had huge portrait borders above and below the game area.

Thanks for the feedback , I left the auto-rotate to 4 directions because of so many different devices but you can use either portriat or landscape mode it supports all. I will work on my art skills haha. I tested the game on various devices and didn't have problems with the controls. I missed Super Mario Land for Gameboy so I made something similar styled.

Thanks for the feedback anymore would be helpful.

Hello,
I like this kind of game. It's always fun but indeed, I think also background when I play is too bright green. Characters needs perhaps to be more refined.
Keep up the good work .
Sylvain

Thanks for the feedback its wierd how different devices display like some are just right and some display the green as too bright.

Cool. The colors are a bit bright. I guess it's too late now, but for your next project I'd suggest that you check this site out: http://www.pixelfor.me/crc/ <-- It's great for when you're making retro style games.
Good job though

Thanks I never seen this site and tools before. Its just like the color style used in the old NES days.Thanks!!

I found the controls difficult. I don't know if it was intended but I found it easier to slay enemies by jumping right when they got next to me rather than attempt to land on their heads.

Toxic colors.

What device do you have? I know on devices older than SSG 3 and below the controls are sometimes sluggish.

My next game I might make something easier to control like a runner. This time I was just inspired by platformers and the old gameboy.

Superland Platformer is still up and I was thinking to do a part 2. What are your thoughts?

Use transparent icon!
