A fast, easy to use, free, and community supported 2D game engine
Bear Beware!
My first game! Bear Beware heavily relied on the cocos2d framework and my efforts were greatly benefited by this great community!
This is a simple game. Tilt to move, catch the honey pots, dodge the bees, and help the bear get his fill of honey :)
Any and all critiques ideas or whatever would be greatly appreciated!
Oh ya and its free! Tell all your friends to play :)
Had a quick play, a couple of minor suggestions.
1. The game speeds up but the tilt control doesn't which results in seeing something appear at the top of the screen but you never having the speed to avoid it. You could try adding a little acceleration. (vx += ax)
2. The score screen could do with a background that allows the scores to be clearly seen. A partially transparent panel would help.
3. How have you implemented the twitter functionality? I'm a little wary of entering passwords unless I know where they are going, have you considered using agon or openfeint or some indication of where the scores are stored e.g 'powered by cocos live'.
Having said that you've got further than I have, my first attempt has been sat on the shelf recently due to work commitments :D
I've had another play and I think you may need to put a couple of checks in your gameplay logic.
1. The decrease speed honey pots continue to come down even though I had slowed the game to an apparent stop.
2. The Lives honey pots should probably be generated a little more infrequently and restricted to giving the user a maximum of 3. I managed to get up to 13.
3. You could make the plus and minus speed honey pots random, i.e place a question mark on them. I tended to avoid the increase speed pots as it made it harder to get a higher score.
Woah, sweet ideas! Thanks for the critiques! I have already submitted a update with a few of the changes you have mentioned, but I will definitely admit this game needs some tweaking.
I really like your question mark idea and I need to implement a max and min speed and max lives.
Hope you find some time to work on your project :)
