We have a new game on the go, its very early days but we're all excited about this one so thought id post a quick mock that Chris knocked together.
Name might change to Demolition Man or Mr Destructo or…..

Love the work Chris does with his art. He needs to start selling some new stuff! Excited to see whats up your sleeve!
Looking forward to seeing more.
Great start.
Looks nice. Curious about the gameplay!
Show me some gameplay
Really cool Darren!
Working on the level select area, i have coded in a double unlock system so you have more than one level to play so when you complete level 4 easy it unlocks level 5 easy along with level 4 medium.
We have also made it so you repeat the same level 4 times with different difficulties and it gets harder with less bombs and lower blast goal.
This is being made with the nightly build to take advantage of things like change scene at index etc etc.
Darren, Chris & Ben.
Looking good!
How the gameplay look like? @DeepBlueApps
The art is very atractive, waiting to see the game mechanics
Wow !!! Very interesting level design ...
I can't Wait! The Arts is really cool!
Started making some test levels today so here a sneaky peek at the gameplay…
You replay the levels 4 times to go from easy to normal to hard to extreme with the bombs available and blast line changing.
Please note a lot of placeholder art is still in place but Chris is busy making it look pretty.
We have also gone for some funny hillbilly style speech and there will be around 30-40 different speech depending on certain situations.
"I think they put too much gunpowder in that er there bomb!"
It unlocks levels like so…if you complete level 5 easy it will unlock level 5 normal and level 6 easy so there should always be at least 2 levels to play.
Also another nice feature is it searches the table for the next available level and difficulty so if you have completed a block of levels say 6 7 and got to level 8 medium and go back to level 5 to finish extreme for e.g. it will send you to level 8 medium after completion.
Lots to do but its a blast (pardon the pun) to make so far and were all having a lot of fun.
More updates soon…hope you like.
Darren, Chris & Ben.
Interesting. Looks like fun!
That looks AWESOME!
Great! When i can download it from my DBA RC Pro
@DeepBlueApps Mr. Bomber is a solid name, why change?
Very nice. This is a lot like one of my old games, only yours is much, much better.
Looks fun.
Love the sound effects and the music ...
So we worked on the options scene yesterday (quick video below) and today its the title, we're going to have Mr Bomber animated pressing the button and blowing up the scenery so should be cool.
Darren, Chris & Ben.
Looks really nice! I like the extra touches you put into the menus.
Added over 100 speech sounds (with I hope a lot of humour) things like "anyone seen my moonshine"? "yee haa off to the moon"....reference to old tv series like dukes of hazard etc, will try and get a new video up soon but it's coming along a treat.
@SlickZero I will check yours out to see if I can get any nice ideas for level design, does yours have any bonus items in? I was thinking of knocking birds out of the sky for eg.
Darren.
More blocks and glass has been added along with some more work on the title screen (still need to animate the guy to press the button on title page).
Darren.
Coming along nice, lots to do and lots of polish to add but were really pleased with it so far.
Added tweet sheet today so when you tweet it will message what level and difficulty you just completed, along with Facebook integration.
Darren, Chris & Ben.
Added an animated title and tested on iPad 1 all good.
Darren.
Nice game , great job. You should probably animated the bombs after you place theme, like zooming out and in or so.
Cheers
@freshworksplay yep we will
there's lots of polish to add yet.
Darren.
