Game: Virustroids
Completion: 99%, and no sound added yet - RC 1 out
Movement: up, down, left, right arrows, space to fire

Advice needed:

• The buttons in the bottom left and right are for android - ignore on windows EDIT: Removed for windows testing
• I was hoping to get some advice on my movement code - would like it to be more fluidic
• Advice on my collision code - doesnt seem to work every time
• Overall feel of the game

I tried your game, and the graphics seemed very nice =)

Here are some suggestions for you though:
*In the menus, there's no indicator of what you can press or what you can't. For example, in "How to Play" screen, it's a bit unclear what you can click since all the text is written with the same font and the text won't react to the mouse in any way.
*The control system was a bit difficult for me. I find it hard that pressing right and left makes you rotate for as long as you press up or down. Why not just stop the rotation when the player stops pressing left/right?

Updated the movement code to be more fluidic like actually being in the body and/or space.

Added some end of round stats.

Add end of game code.

I try to turn when I press up but the left turning isn't working!
also I need to know when I'm over a button when I'm hovering it!

[ChefDavid22]

As I said above the buttons on the screen are for android only so ignore them.

You cannot hold down left and up at the same time. According to multiple people here this is a keyboard thing not a problem with my game. I dont plan on fixing it because on android it wont matter.

oh it is an android game! *Face palm*
I seem to now that the controls work perfectly then!!!
perfect controls and that the game play is interesting!

Release candidate one has been uploaded. This is to be the final version on Android once the ability to export to android is out. I also added a youtube video of game play.

Edit: Argh - my site host blocked the upload and I didn’t catch it. I will fix it later this evening. Sorry for the inconvenience.

These graphics look awesome! I would definitely download this game just for the graphics! They are amazing!

[ChefDavid22]

Thanks man. I'm still at work but will let you know when I get the download updated. Should be no more than four hours or so from now.

Cool. I think you got something here.

I didn't play, but I watched the video. Not.bad.at.all! Looks good, man.

Can I give a suggestion? (some kind of 'white blood cell' special, maybe a hyper stream or some kind of 'clear screen mega blast')

However, I wish I knew how you did that custom best high-score page at the end.
I always did struggle with that.

+1. Good job.

@Parrot just use an ini file. Then at the end of the game open it, see if the current score is higher than the saved score, if so update it. - if you never further help ask in the novice forums.

@ everyone else - Download has been updated.
