Ask a Question / Swiping the camera left and right in a scene?

« on: February 08, 2016, 07:53:50 am »

I have a level select scene that is longer than the screen size, so i want to be able to slide the camera across it by swiping my finger, aswell as easing to a halt when the finger has left the screen, how can i achieve this?

(specifically like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXWN-byr5Zs
although mine will just be from left to right)

Nice game sdieters! Works great on my galaxy s6.

I will give you my first impressions and hopefully some constructive criticism.

The menu animations are great, but i found them a bit too sluggish for me, i believe you want to engage the user within the first 5-10 seconds or they will most likely just close the game and not bother with it (i do this a lot)

Also when i got to level 1, i had no idea what to do, there were no instructions, i was just pressing random letters trying to make a word (which i just assumed was the goal). But only later found out how to play after going back and reading the description on the play store. Of course, i took this extra step as a fan of you and your work, other users may not bother.

Overall the game looks polished and im sure the final release will turn out great!

Edit: The way i see a lot of puzzle games do it now is on first boot have the very first scene be level 1 with specific instructions with an obvious solution right in front of their face, this immediately engages the user

Ask a Question / Static and moving sources of light?

« on: December 24, 2015, 07:43:23 am »

Can anyone point me in the direction on how to create light sources (say, over a fire actor) exactly as shown in this game?

« on: December 23, 2015, 11:04:44 am »

Things like this keep me cautious when upgrading, if i stumble upon a stable version i cling onto it and nurture it until is is entirely safe to move on
Right now 3.4 8556 has become a personal favorite

no, each level currently only consist of ~5 backgrounds, 1 tileset, and an actor that moves from the left to right of it
