Bravely Bear

Hey everyone!

So after several false starts and a lot of learning I finally am coming to completion on my first game!

You can find the Alpha HERE.

I still need to insert more obstacles, add sound, add my start screen, tweak the object generator, and enable saving the high score.

But I think it’s finally post worthy.

Thank you so much to everyone that has helped me along the way!

EDIT: Oh, right…

Left and right arrows to steer and start.
R resets the game.

EDIT 11/23/14: The latest build is out and you can play it HERE.

EDIT 11/30/14: Getting close to finished. Latest version HERE.

There are some control issues. After my initial flight, it keeps wanting to turn me to the right, even if I held down the left key. If I held left at the start of launch I would fly straight up until I let go, then it would veer right and spiral out.

There’s control issues. During first flight, right moved stiffly while left moved fluidly. However after restart, it would always go hard right and crash, regardless of keyboard entry.

Seems to me the maths for left and right turning might be off, let us know if you need any help with anything. Seems like it will be fun.

Fixed!

EDIT: I accidentally buried the key up function in under an “if (play == true)”. OOPS~!

Got to 8! Was fun. Nice work.

Got to 108. Pretty tough! After I couple of tries I got spawn camped through because I spawned inside an airplane. You may wanna reset them when you restart.

Has anyone managed to get to 1000 meters?

That’s about the point where I want to place the “end game” obstacles. At 1000 meters the sky is 100% black and I want to have it start space things.

got to 900 or so the screen is pretty dark, almost black. The transition happens naturally.

Flappy Doodle Bear Jump. Nice. Controls are too hard though, for noobs like me :slight_smile:

I’m not the best player but I can get to 1k about 1 out of 10 times so I hope the wobbly controls are a fun learning curve.

Awesome! Good to hear. I simply made an all black qaud and set the transpancy to 100% then update it each frame.

The blue is simply the camera’s bg color. Sorry, “colour”. :wink:

That’s tough. :slight_smile:

That is tough! I love it! I got to 74.
The high score stays up after you’ve played once without resetting but there isn’t an indicator how high you currently are. It’d be nice to have the current height in addition to the high score when you begin a new game without resetting.

I really like the subtle secondary motion the bear has.

nice! its cool, i like it, got potential to be a fun little arcade game. few suggestions, fix the controls (it is to easy to tip the jetpack over and go into a spiral), maybe update the character to align with the cartoon feel of the back drop and add some kinda points, similar too “Collecting coins” or “power ups” kinda thing :)! just to make it more fun! and of course a tittle screen!

on a side note, made it too 283 :P!

222 xD

man, no one’s broken 1km yet?

EDIT: A lot of issues have been fixed, such as the score not reseting. Also, nothing spawns for 10 meters. And I’ve got 11 more obstacles as well as some random super rare easter-eggs planned out.

Expect to see the updated version very soon.

New build can be found HERE.

(Don’t worry, the Space ship will be moved higher up as more obstacles are made.)

If anyone is interested I’m still chipping away. Today I’ve got almost everything up and running.
