Let me know what you think and how I can make it better.

You can view it on youtube to see a larger version but it makes the images kinda blurry...

    Neat, good job. I like how you don't have to collect all 3 to proceed, but at the same time it's an optional challenge to go for all three for the harder levels and etc.

    In regards to the end level screen. I think the back to the menu button should be different maybe just a button that says "menu" or something. The button on there makes me think "rewind" like back in the old VHS days. The other buttons are fine.

    Thanks and sorry about the premature bump. Sometimes I get a little too excited.

    Thanks, you might have notice the "extras" button on the main menu screen. The tadpoles will kinda serve as tokens to unlock extra bonus features so even though they aren't mandatory to proceed through the game it will still be worth going back and trying to get 100%. Kinda like the red coins in Kirby Canvas Curse.

    I had trouble trying to come up with what a simple "back to the main menu" icon would look like and thats all I could come up with. Replacing it with text may be a good alternative though... Thanks for the suggestion! ^_^

    Is anyone interested in more updates on the progress of this game?
  • goliathgoliath Member Posts: 1,440
    I am.... I like the concept and the art looks very nice. More video updates would be appreciated (I can't wait to hear some nice music during the gameplay and see some more gameplay).

    Looks good so far though.
    Warning There was an error rendering this rich post.

    Thanks. Once I add/change enough stuff to justify another video I'll post it here. I've been working on making some background music but I can't seem to get it sounding how I want.

    If anyone knows of some royalty free loops that would fit this game please post a link or something. :D

    Looks really good.

    With the menu screen at first glance I thought the backarrow was a reply item.
    I think maybe make it a replay button instead. And out a MENU button saying menu in the middle of the replay and next level.

    I love the progress display.

    And I think it's very clever game, Might actually be hit! very well done.

    Thanks, I'll make a few versions of that screen based on FutureNewb and your suggestions and see how they turn out. I really appreciate your feed back. ^_^

    I've already had so much fun making it that if it became a hit I would be completely overwhelmed. I'll just keep working on it and hope for the best. :D

    I LOVE it haha. I really do. the only thing I would say to add is a blinking animation to the frog just as an added touch. haha. I really like it! I would def. buy this.

    Thanks! I agree that it would make it look better but I'm using the Animate behaviour for his swimming animation so I can't figure out how to add the blinking animation without it looking "looped"... I don't really know how to explain it... I may spend some more time trying to find a solution later in development. I appreciate the suggestion. ^_^

    Just out of curiosity, how much would you be willing to pay for it? lol

    you don't need clarification. Its OBVIOUS this game is a winner:) I love the art style. Simple, but stands out and looks good. Liking this game all the way. got a name for it yet?

    Well I like to stay humble and not just assume that everyone thinks it's awesome. I really appreciate all the complements though, it's really encouraging. ^_^

    I've come up with a name for it but I'm not really comfortable with announcing it yet. I don't want anyone to steal it or anything. =P
  • BackUpAndDownBackUpAndDown Member Posts: 685
    Heres a video showing some of the progress I made yesterday. Let me know what you think! ^_^

    you know you can reserve the name right? haha.
  • DreamLabDreamLab Member Posts: 2,127
    as for the level complete button problem, make the menu button a "home" icon. like of a house. everyone knows that. and the next level, just an arrow or something.

    and as for the music. I like the first one. the second one was a bit too techno for me. thats just me. I really like this game. haha. can't wait!

    Really? How? For how long is it reserved? This is my first "real" app (Not including the test project I uploaded to the app storel) so i'm still pretty new to this whole thing. lol

    create an app id. TSB has videos for that. make it for the app. and go into itunes connect and go to new app and type the name and fill out all the info and put a screenshot and icon(they can be blank) set the date to whenever, and its reserved. its like MAKING an app without submitting. but it reserves the name.

    if you need more info, just PM me.
  • DreamLabDreamLab Member Posts: 2,127
    PM'd you:)

    How do you reserve names?

    its just making an app is all. basically. haha. what you do is create an app id for the game, go to itunes connect. click add new game. fill out the info, use a blank screenshot and icon(it doesnt matter, you just need one) and fill out the rest of the info and stuff and it reserves your name. its not OFFICIALLY for reserving names. but it does it. it creates the app, without putting it on the appstore basically.

    Very fun. I would actually use both music tracks - to break it up a little. Perhaps on different levels or one for the menus and the other for the levels.
    Keep on trucking and good luck with it!
