- No 'Click to Start' text. (Still have to though)

SuperDog, the play button does work. It opens the menu.

manufan 12 years ago

That's why I called JP. :P

The worst problem is without any doubt the fact that you cannot load a level while playing another one.
And I guess at this point, after you fixed the current bugs, you should try and go for a certain artstyle.
Oh yeah and the sounds are terrible.

manufan 12 years ago

Yes, I have noticed.

Daft_Punk 12 years ago

I don't know if anyone else noted this yet, but there seems to be some issues with the scoring system.

Masquerade 12 years ago

This is probably the only game that has something for the testers to do this early in development. XD

Jos 12 years ago

Nice - a new game. Keep up the work to finish this game, manufan. Can't wait to play and make levels for this.

Treazer 12 years ago

I'm playing with the bugs, so I can get some impossible scores ;)

manufan 12 years ago

Treazer! Your score has gone crazy! :O

Also, DP and MX both support the game.

Edit: Treazer you have to complete the tutorial levels again as you got an unusual score.

gameinsky 12 years ago

As far as I know, the only thing that you could call "made" are the physics.
The sounds are annoying and the bricks are still in their alpha-graphic state...
Neither is their room for any innovative ideas as for now.

Treazer 12 years ago

Manufan, choose your testers wisely. Choose good designers and some people who really support the game.

manufan 12 years ago

I'm removing comments that are semi-useless, offtopic and downright mod-ish.

manufan 12 years ago

Okay. I'll add you as a tester if you want, so you can take a better look. Also I hope you have understood the points in my previous messages.

gameinsky 12 years ago

I was talking about someone with designins skills like ally, Elizea, DemonicYoshi, kiethy etc.

manufan 12 years ago

Yes there was.

@Azz: Exactly my point.

azz 12 years ago

Treazer is a tester, he has good design skills, I'm a tester I have Ok design skills.

Treazer 12 years ago

We'll see manu ;)

manufan 12 years ago

More like 9 months Treazer. :)

@Azz: Sure! What do you want it to be called?

Treazer 12 years ago

Manufan, this game is still pretty far of being finished. I say it's done in a year.

azz 12 years ago

Manufan, I don't mind the award but you could have thought of a better name >.> At the moment it sounds dirty.

Treazer 12 years ago

Great manufan, that are beautiful news!

azz 12 years ago

What's the difference between the black blocks (without the x) and the red blocks?

manufan 12 years ago

Thanks for the suggestion!

azz 12 years ago

Maybe you should use a button to start a level instead of the whole screen, it makes taking thumbnails a lot harder.

manufan 12 years ago

It has been accepted. To make it official please change the thumbnail (by deletion of level).

azz 12 years ago

Ok I've now created my first astro breaker level :P

manufan 12 years ago

It needs to be one after the other. So your level would be:
0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1

(Also, you need a space after the comma.)

azz 12 years ago

I have entered this level code:
0,1,1,1,1,1,0
1,0,0,0,0,0,1
1,0,1,1,1,0,1
1,1,0,0,0,1,1
But my level doesn't seem to be working. Am I doing something wrong, I click test and it's just a blank screen.

manufan 12 years ago

What Glitch? Try pressing F5?

SPOILER

You have to hit the Death Brick last.

Remake in Progress

Quoting manufan from Game "Astro Breaker"

Hey everyone. (Long time no see... about 18 months)

Posting here to answer a few questions so that it's clear where this game is going, and so no question remains unanswered thanks to my inactivity (that's the aim anyway).

Why were you inactive?

I was inactive because I just finished my GCSE's (secondary school qualifications for those outside of the UK) and am studying for my A-Levels (college-level qualifications) in order to prepare to study Computer Science at university. The workload is harder, plus my social life is also changing so I'm finding little time to come here anymore.

Are you back?

Most likely no. I mean I'll come on now and again to see how things are getting on, but like I say, I'm quite busy at the moment.

So, Astro Breaker is just a dead game?

As you may remember me mentioning just before my inactivity, I was in the process of remaking the game using ActionScript 3.0. Astro Breaker can help me in terms of constructing a portfolio of my work in terms of progressing with Computer Science, and so I will continue to develop the remake - at least, that is my intention.

The remake will include a level editor and if it's all figured out, I will make the game BL Compatible. In terms of moderating levels, I'm sure a solution can be figured out down the line - maybe I will lead, maybe someone else will - we shall cross that bridge when we come to it.

Hope I've managed to clear everything up. Was great to come on here and see the progress that's been made, especially with the release of Simon's new game (Congrats). Best wishes to all. :)

Features

Bricks can be any colour dependent on Level Data (in code, so you can't really visualise this).

Types of Brick are:
- Normal (with strength stated on brick when > 1)
- Bomb (destroys all 8 bricks around it)
- Railball Powerup (ball does not rebound off bricks)
- Speed[+/-] Powerup

Any suggestions would be welcome in a PM. Any updates and I will update the link and notify you.
