Icicle Fall, my second gamesalad game for android.

grizze

After making my first game that was a platformer and had different levels, i decided to never do that again due to the fact how long level designing takes time. I decided to rather make a simple game and use my time on unlockables and new features.

I'v been using gamesalad for a month now and im starting to come across alot of walls that stop me from making a good game.

• No play store achievements or leaderboards, sure amazon works but play store users dont use amazon accounts.
• Random generation for levels seems near impossible, googled alot and nobody seems to gotten around to it.
• Very limited ad sites to use.
• No matter how heavy or light game i make, there seems to be lag or better called "stutter" that is disturbing, probably related to game engine?

Anyway, my second game is finally out and im looking for any information on what i'v done right and what wrong.

Any kind of suggestions are welcome, negative and positive feedback is welcome too.

Random generation is possible you just haven't learned enough about building logic. Once you learn how to build logic properly you will be able to build anything. See my video series GSlogic. Not everything can be shown in a video and the key is to learn why you are doing what you're doing and not just copy and paste from a video. It can take a good year to learn gamesalad.

you mix pixel art with vector art. It should have a consistent art style to appear professional.

Its your first game and thats always an achievement, good luck with the downloads mate.

I agree on this, but i am very bad at making art so i decided to use everything i find for free, i only made the icicle and player art myself.

Probably will make my next game entirely by myself, i just have to learn about random level generation before i do that.
