Download SB_win072310.zipI'll have a mac version soon…hopefully.
Mac version didn't work, doesn't like fullscreen apps…but I'll fix that later
Download SB_win072410.zipCorrected the bouncing, but not perfect yet.
Use up/down to move the turrent, space to shoot, escape to escape.
Game ends when all blocks or your shield = 0
Currently just some block behaviors, all the basic bonuses. I'll work on powerups and special powerup inducing bonuses later on.
I didn't expect the game to end by closing. I think I got 1000000+ score (give or take a zero).
Functional, but here's a few observations (as usual):-Bullets should always bounce in the same direction when hitting an obstacle in the exact same spot.-Bullets bounce oddly when hitting the low or top edges of the screen.-When the bullets are completely small they look weird to me for some reason.-Smooth out the symbol animations to match the smooth movement of the turret.-The shield's glow intensity could be dimmer as it gets weaker.-Add a glowing effect on the glyphs.Not much else, besides keep it up and fix the download URL.The current method for bullets isn't quite that good at the moment, I'll admit…
The shield glow will be added later, I had it in the last GM version.Glowing effect would be a nice touch.Its still pretty early, so not much for closing scores yet.get the quotes out of the link
( http://host-a.net/scott_aw/SB_win072310.zip )the bullets bounce weirdly :oMay have fixed the bouncing, but I think I'll just redo it.
looks good, I think bullets need more speed. And I also hope you aren't keeping that low of a limit on shooting :P
The limit will increase with your score, starts at 4. Other bonuses will allow for spreadshot and machine gun style shooting that won't have a limit.
