Skeletor in Space!!

[gamekill]

!!Skeletor in Space!!

The game has audio now (music and sfx) but only Chrome seems to be able to play it.
Firefox and Internet Explorer play the game, but no sound.

1 - Use and

direction keys to reach and activate the laser cannons
2 - Shoot down the pursuing demon god until it dies
3 - The largest cannons grant you extra rockets
4 - Rockets are limited; Skeletor can have up to 4 at a time (check his bones)

5 - Whenever Skeletor's eyes are bright, you may unleash the
mega-magnetic rage explosion using the [Space] key!!

You can play this version on mobiles keeping the following in mind:
- You need a high end device (dual core or better probably)
- The game's resolution is fixed at 900x600 so you need a high resolution screen
- The Chrome Browser (Beta) is the fastest performing I have tried
- Touch left or right side of the screen to move
- Touch Skeletor for the mega-magnetic rage explosion​

-OLD info below this line (the outdated simpler version of the game):---------------------

The ultra-short (for now) space simulation game:
!!Skeletor in Space!!

1 - Use the and

directional keys to completely collect all asteroids
2 - Collecting small asteroids makes them respawn, larger, elsewhere
3 - The largest asteroids grant extra rockets, and don't respawn once collected
4 - Rockets are limited; Skeletor can have up to 4 at a time (check his bones)

5 - Whenever Skeletor's eyes are bright, you may unleash the
mega-magnetic rage explosion using the [Space] key!!

Sidenote:
The game is also kind of playable on mobile (touch) devices.
Touch the left or right parts of the screen to jump, touch Skeletor for the mega-magnetic rage explosion.
Touch/mobile support is only experimental for now, as of April 10th 2012.

Hope you guys are enjoying it!!​

Pretty sure the deadline has passed for the contest.

That said
I can only speak for myself when I say. Anyone making a game about Skeletor in space farting rockets needs to continue doing so, no matter if it's a contest entry or not. The idea is fried gold.

Hi gamekill,

I believe entries closed yesterday and many of us were rushing to get it in. The thread for submissions has been locked now. Perhaps you can join in on the next contest Since you're here, why not check out some of the entries and enjoy some of the end of contest chatter?

Hope you enjoy your stay on the forum, it's really a great community here!

 

[joannesalfa]

I wouldn't like to disappoint you, Venetia as the admin of this forum has locked the submission thread due to deadline, i believe there will have another contests for next time, would you to practice to make game better?

 

[gamekill]

Thank you all for the replies!!
I rushed to upload the game and register at the forums and let you all know about it.
Only after that I took the time to actually search for the official thread. Then I noticed it was already past the deadline.
No worries though, glad some people like the game concept lol.

Sure I am going to keep studying and harnessing Construct 2's power!!
I plan on sticking around, this really seems a great place to be.

See ya all, and I'll keep you posted on the game's updates and new games as they come along as well!!

[valkyriegames]

I'm looking forward to it. Keep those games coming! :D

 

[Venetia]

Hi gamekill,

I'm sorry, but you did miss the deadline. I'm going to move this project to Projects In Development. Thank you for your interest, though

 

[gamekill]

Updated the game last night. Changes:

- Reduced and fixed the game's dimensions at least for now (can't make it work fullscreen properly)
- Fixed: White background showing behind the stars in some resolutions
- Reworked the asteroids detection, should be 100% accurate now
- Can't launch 2 simultaneous rockets anymore if you only have 1 left
- Final score now dependant on the number of rockets fired (less rockets used = more points)
- Fixed: can't have more than 4 rockets at a time anymore

Planned for next releases:
- Proper Title screen
- Detailed Score at the end (bonus, penalties etc)
- New, better balanced scoring system (as it is right now, you get more points in a Game Over than when finishing the game)
- Random asteroids starting position
- Better graphical feedback overall

This is definitely a neat idea just a few things:

• I think that this game relies more on chance than actual skill. I mean once you run out of rockets your only hope is that a rocket will spawn right next to you
• Dying is way too casual. There isn't tons of challenge because i can die as many times as i want
• I can only collect meteors for so long before it gets monotonous. I can't wait to see what other things you put in there to shake things up a bit.

Its a really cute concept though i laughed at the skeltor shooting rockets. And the background effect is neat (the background is a little dull maybe add some cosmic dust or planets.!)

One more thing. I understand this was moved so i dont know if you know this but the minimal requirement for this board is:

• At least two screenshots. Screenshots show that you’ve actually made progress on your project beyond conceptual stages. Your screenshots need to show actual gameplay, not just title screens or menus.
• At least one full paragraph of story description. You need to tell us what happens during the game, and what the player will be doing and trying to accomplish.

Just post a screenie or two and a little blurb about the objectives/goals. Also having a nicer gamethread encourages people to play your game and i know you want that!

Anyways good luck. Sorry you were late for the contest.

 

[gamekill]

New version up, go check it out..
Also, updated 1st post to make this an official "in Development" thread as suggested.
Thanks for the support, and keep the feedback coming!!

:biggrin: :grin: :toot: :grin: :biggrin:

 

[Shibbyman3]

Ha I like this, but I would agree with pipesnogger, adding some extra elements would help keep interest. I'm excited to see future versions, keep up the good work. :biggrin:

 

[gamekill]

I am currently finishing the gameplay mechanics core, then I'll add the extra elements.
This current version has now become only a gameplay test

There's some very nice stuff planned, like extra elements and proper levels progression.
Hopefully it will please everyone!!

I won't spoil it though. Will keep you updated..

:shades: :shades: :biggrin: :biggrin: :dead:

 

[gamekill]

Just a heads up.
Almost finished with the gameplay.
Still need to add interface elements and menus, extra content, and audio.

:grin: :shades: :wink: :smile: :grin:

 

[bacon]

[gamekill]
