MeteoDash

My first game completed on stencyl =D
Not much, just a simple get from point A to point B avoiding the fireballs kind of game but let me know what you all think. Anyone experiencing performance issues please post them here along with any relevant information.

Apparently there is a stutter in the game on the higher difficulty levels when played in Firefox, Google chrome seems not to have this problem for some reason =/

You're right, "not much," but fun!  Simple concept and well executed.

The background scrolls a bit too fast -- especially for stars in space.

Giving the meteors an animation for when they hit the surface would add some polish, I think.

I'm a big shmup fan, so --inevitably-- I thought that some more "bullet patterns" would have been cool for the meteors.

All in all, though, I enjoyed it.  I played and beat it on insane mode.   :D

Admittedly I am not a great artist pixel or otherwise. That being said I'm always looking to improve in that area so eventually I'll probably have better graphics for this game, such as animated meteors that explode when they hit the ground/player eventually, and by eventually I mean sometime between now and then.

Stars and their movements are all about perspective, on a much smaller planet/largish asteroid moving across the surface of said celestial body would alter your perspective on the sky far more drastically than when you move the same distance for example on earth. So the game either takes place on a rather small planetoid or I'm just making this up as I go along, I'll let you try to figure that one out  ;)

As for more bullet patterns, that will have to wait for another game (a sequel maybe, maybe not who knows) after I've refined my skills with stencyl a bit more.

The performance is good. I just suggest to make the fireballs animated.  :D

Update V1.1
New Fireballs have been added (yes they are animated, still no explosions though)
Many Tweaks and touch-ups.

Again, Let me know what you think, and thanks for playing =]
