Did the UI have handlebars.....?

Noooo, would have made it impossible to play. Hopefully early next week if I have something decent to show then I’ll post a WIP screenshot or video depending on how smoothly things go

[Steve Elliott]

Ooo it's a secret lol. 

Lol for now will reveal more soon when there’s some joy joy visuals but it’ll be pretty obvious then

lol based on my Avatar it's obvious what I'm doing, but visually it will be quite different to what's in the gallery.

Look forward to seeing what you're going for.

I thought you were doing Burger Time based on your avatar

[Steve Elliott]

  Burger Time is perfect, pointless even trying to recreate it.  I only considered it because emulation was a bit rubbish at the time.

burger time? ... well I can ask Rebecca Heineman,she knows a thing or 2 about burgers.
anywho I found what i'm making, It's just a columns style game, I just need to come up with a gimmick for it.
As simple as it is I definitely suck at the math side of puzzlers...crud

@Steve Hmmmm. Could be Xevious?

[Steve Elliott]

@Adam, Nope...It's a blend of 2 games - Crossfire and Bomberman.

Oh well  At least I thought I might have had it.

Here's my in dev shot for this week - it's been very slow as I was readying new version of other app...

Nice pixel artwork, ship looks really good - Eggs in space?

[MrmediamanX]

Nice @iWasAdam ... I get the feeling your throwing us for a loop again buddy
For now I just got my main engine running, I'll still need to do most of the graphic art.
Not to sure when i'll get the time though.

[iWasAdam]

looks like I'm on the right track (this time - hehe)

@MediamanX try toning down the background (turn down saturation) and your block graphics will 'pop' more
Make the blocks bigger (from the third to 2 thirds) and give them some attitude to really shine \o/

[MrmediamanX]

I'll give it a shot,I'm stuck with a 640x480 screen res though the window can be scaled for blind moles like us
Not much in terms screen real estate to be used so art based scaling is limited... darn it. but i'll take a jab it, most of the scrolling background will be covered by the "HUD"....given it's still early the entire thing may get a kawaii overhaul from my
niece.

I was sort of thinking something along the lines of:


remember your playing the game not the hud
