edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
Had a play today and I'm really pleased with GS atm....using some old art (waiting for some new art) i wanted to make a fast paced crazy gun happy shooter...just finished for the day so thought I'd share my days work.



Not sure if i will continue to work on it or sell as a template yet but it was a heap of fun to make and i love pushing the limits of GS with my old 2nd gen touch..

Included so far.

60+ moving actors on screen at any one time.

Unlimited Waves.

5 enemy types.

5 Power Ups:

Bullet speed (multiplier) collect 2 of these for super fast bullets.

Ship Speed.

Atom Bomb, destroys all.

Shield: lasts for 8 seconds fading away to give you a visable.

Enhance space ship by collecting an extra 2 pieces for some triple fire power.

No Spawn or Destroy but as usual a lot of recycled actors.

Darren.

    Very nice. I am working on a similar game, its a shame this one was not out as a template when I started (too late to turn back now, done with logic - into level design). I am also doing zero spawn and destroy, learned that from your Shoot-em-Up template.

    mine is just two images of transparent sheet with white dots scrolling down at different speeds. Very small in size, easy to scroll and easy to control (change speed, add background objects, etc.)
