LunaticX nice game, good design and gameplay

i love it

Wow, your art design is really fantastic!

interesting environment nice game

Great art, I love it (are you going to release it on sites like Big Fish?).

ortucis, yes, but we need to finish it first =)

Very nice! Great art style and game.

but it crashed between level 9-11(im not sure which one).

it was like i did 2 big square(4 corners same tile) combos one right after other, there was bullets(the things that guy fire from his gun), bombs, and sparkling tiles on the board.

using, win7 english.

(it kinda feels it crashed when it tried to play holy and excelent at same time or sometgin like that.)

thanks Quadraxas, i think this bug appears from fast shooting >.<
by the way, anyone here with not very fast pc? is fps okay?

Very nice game LunaticX

Not sure what you mean by slow, I know my system by no means smokes.

Here are my settings and what I encountered so far.

AMD Athlon 64 3500+
2.21 Ghz, 2.0 GB ram
NVidia GEForce 6600 256 MB Ram

Accepted default options
Screen resolution 1024x768

Session 1
-----------
Just finish Level 7?
Made large block with at least 5 to 6 bombs, bomb grabber came out then program crashed

Session 2
-----------
Just finish Level 6
Large block was selected, tallying up what block encompassed,
Level Finished appeared
crash

Session 3
-----------
Level 2
pBlocked 2 bombs, first bomb grabbed but not tossed
Started to grab second bomb

-----------
Level 8
61000+ score
Almost empty cheese meter
Blocked whole board
Shot many corks
Score went to 63000+
Cheese meter filled up
Level Complete message appeared
crash

Wish list
------------
Setup option to turn off help completely
On the end of level total score screen - need more time to understand scoring (there is a continue button which gives the impression that you should not exit the screen until continue is pressed)

ScholarlyTook thanks.
so that makes two bomb crashes and two after level crashes i quess...

about help, if red "close help" button will turn off help completely for current profile, will it be okay? or leave it as is and make options checkbox?

i dont really understand about "you should not exit the screen until continue is pressed" part =(
can you leave this screen different way?

i can replace button with "any key to continue" words. think it will be better this way?

and will popup tooltips with description for score pictures will be enough or better when descriptions is written under each line?

i gues you already know these but:

when guy shots 3-4 times, after shooting, he starts to shake and doesnt stop until another shot.

if guy gets hit when there is bullet in his weapon, the guy moves the rifle but bullet doesnt move.

aaaand, after completin level 25 game doesnt end, it goes on to 26,27....

If you want to use it commercially, you need to get new souneffects (I dont think the Quake 3 sounds are royalty free)

Quadraxas thanks again =)
and im glad someone made it so far =)
will fix that too.

Oxy yes, we will replace these.

I think with the help option you will need both. Have the checkbox in options menu and also permanently turn off help when selected in game which will set the (one can always turn back on by unchecking checkbox).

You have a screen that tallies the total score for the current level which displays a "Continue" button on it. What happens is the score is tallied up and then immediately fade away. You should leave the player on the screen so they can see the score and how it is arrived at. When the "Continue" button is press the screen can then fade and continue.

Popup tooltips can be annoying and slow the game down. A legend though somewhere off the mainmenu might be helpful but I am not sure if would be appropriate.

Once the player understands how to play the game and how to score they want to play faster. Though there will be people that like a slower pace. This would come in some form of player preference, for example "Slow, Medium, Fast" or "Easy, Normal, Hard".

If I get a chance I will look for a tool to record the gameplay.

Great game. Look forward to the finished product.

Very nice game. I like it. It makes fun to play it.

Looks good, i start the download now.
Edit: Ok the first look is nice, but it is only possible, when 3 stones are in the top down, not left right position. And when 3 same stons are on the screen (top down position) there are not delete. For my opition it is a alpha version. But the graphics are nice.

The graphics and artwork are really hot. Very cool and colorful style.

Love it..but I have manage to crash it.
In 2.Lv of 2.Planet I have set 4 yellow things in every corner..when I connected them..guy just started to shoot like crazy..score started to go up..and game just crashed..

Naja könnte besser sein
