Rev Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 The LTO Flash was released in 2014?? Oops. That's when I think it was supposed to be released. Ill revise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Oops. That's when I think it was supposed to be released. Ill revise. But they said on the podcast that "this is not something that we are announcing and will be released in a few months, it is something that is coming out now!"

wolfy62 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 But they said on the podcast that "this is not something that we are announcing and will be released in a few months, it is something that is coming out now!" Confusing isn't it? Just like Groovy Bees stuff from a couple years ago....never made it out as announced. Weird, I can't figure it out.Stuff happens, people get busy with there real lives.......who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, so you mean that perhaps some people should think about that when vilifying others for exactly the same thing. Interesting. Something about houses made of glass...

Kiwi Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I'm changing the game's name from Kaboom! to Mad Bomber. <--Click to animateThere's currently 9 different bombs. 3 different control types. Cutscene when you managed to get through all 9 bombs. I'm still adding stuff to the game. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBomber.gif <--Click to animate There's currently 9 different bombs. 3 different control types. Cutscene when you managed to get through all 9 bombs. I'm still adding stuff to the game. Looks cool. I haven't played it, but the movement of the basket looks like it could use some dampening for better accuracy. One thing that I always find frustrating is when you have to carefully tap the disc on a precise edge, for precisely the correct amount of time, lest the avatar moves a few pixels too far. Having to constantly over-correct movement and position as a game mechanic is one of those problems that were solved a long time ago, and nobody misses it from the first era of games. dZ.

Will it still have a 'classic' looking screen? Any options for changing basket width? I'll update schedule. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Control type 2 I added WNW and WSW, along with west to move the basket to the left and added ENE ESE, along with east to move the basket to the right. So the player don't have to be too precise on the disc control. The idea for Control 1 and 3 is to roll your thumb around the disc to move the basket giving the player more precision. So that's something I have to test on the real thing. Edited September 30, 2015 by Kiwi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have troubles playing games that are precise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Ah, so you mean that perhaps some people should think about that when vilifying others for exactly the same thing. Interesting. Something about houses made of glass... As far as vilifying people you are the King! And to make the point as straight as possible the folks making the LTO Flash! have never collected a penny up front. Clearly, Groovy collected a lot of cash up front to fund Mars Minis and Rocketeer to support his soon to be??? released hive project. I am just a consumer, game player and collector. Let's see who comes through first, only time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
