Title: [CC] Sky Chasers iOS game
Post by: Gruthix on November 10, 2015, 04:22:09 pm
Hello friends,
My name is Jasper and I work at Lucky Kat studios. We're making pixel art games for mobile, our debut title Nom Cat currently has over 3 milion downloads and is available on iOS and Android if you want to check it out :-)
We have decided to make a bigger game now and we'd love to have more feedback!
We also have a teaser trailer which reveals some gameplay. This is still alpha though and everything can change.
I'm currently working on a new enemy and we were not entirely sure about the colors or eyes so I have made 3 versions here. (http://i.imgur.com/Nu19fmb.gif)
I'd like to know which you think is the best and any other feedback you have :)
Thank you for reading! ;D

Thanks a lot ;D We're not sure if this game is suitable for PC but if it's a hit on mobile we might look into it, but it will require big changes to the game.
The video is not loading for me either. Have this link instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RZI8Byod_c&feature=youtu.be (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RZI8Byod_c&feature=youtu.be)

Don't copy the entire URL, just part after "watch?v="
Game looks really good. You probably won't get much meaningful criticism unless you post a couple of individual sprites.

Looks awesome! :D (is there a reason for the spikes being out of wood as well? just wondering)

The "stomper" obstacle. (A giant tree log that stomps) is of the same material as the windmill, but you can touch it sides because it doesn't have spikes. So if the windmill didn't have spikes you would think that you should be pushed away, instead of being destroyed.

I think Pusty was asking about why the spikes are wooden, rather than the more common metal or stone, not why there are spikes in the first place.

Oh sorry! I read something else :-X
I decided to make them wood because it looked nice! I didn't want to much color in the rotating part because it gets really busy and I just wanted to make a readable dangerous looking shape :)

Here's a small gameplay detail I noticed in this gif
(http://i.imgur.com/4llnX80.gif)
The two logs that retract back should twitch a bit right before extending. That would give a bit of anticipation as well as give a visual cue to the player that they're about to extend. By the way, the coins when they bounce around and rotate look excellent.

The Stomper(The logs) is one of the few instant lethal obstacles in the game, we made these to make it a little harder, if we make it retract it would be to easy to avoid :) The player just has to anticipate when it STOMPS

Hey people,
We're working very hard to get this game done for the release!
We changed the bee, it now chases you down to a certain point. Also added rain and wind effects and sharp rocky tiles that hurt you on touch.
Let us know what you think, and contact me on twitter(@Gruthix) if you are interested in beta testing (android & iOS)

Hi guys, We've released a new trailer with all the new content that has been created since this post! We've worked very hard to come this way and it has been a tough development, we've learned A LOT from making this game and we hope you'll like it when it releases in January :)
