Goochman #6 Posted November 15, 2019 This is a very fun and addicting game - been awhile since Ive had this on the 8bit. Cartoon Wars was one of my fav iOS games and I know it cant be done on the 8bit but this has alot of the same feel as that. Great job! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

REALLY, REALLY nice (!!!) ...And yes, it oozes a sort of polished aura / look, to it... It's quite impressive on NTSC, when all said-and-done (it looks a lot better to the naked eye that what the pics. show!): Great Job!!! It is very similar to a game we have on the Playstations.... And gotta LOVE that silky-smooth sprite movement (!) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This jumpstarted me to finalize Castle Defender. There were some graphical bugs/glitches that I fixed yesterday and today. I have couple things still on my list, but I hope new release will be out very soon. 4 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know this might be too much to ask for, but anyway: Is there any chance, that there will be a Level-Editor to create custom levels? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McKong #13 Posted February 6, 2020 Yeah same here, played this game a lot and even though I completed it I still enjoy playing it. Thanks for bringing it to our platform. A level editor is a good idea Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for bringing it to our platform. A level editor is a good idea I'm not saying it's impossible, but it would require lot of effort. Level graphics is not tile-based, so it's regular bitmap. There are lot of data that are level specific: enemy paths, distance between enemies, enemy queues, enemy designs, enemy health & shield, tower spots. All of this would need to be parameterized in the editor. I can provide the data structure for someone who would like to code the editor, but I refuse doing it.
