A platform game set in Candy Land. You have to complete all the levels by overcoming all obstacles and getting to the end. Two game modes. Can you get your name on the highscore table?

i have been working a lot recently so not updated news for a while, but i have still been working on this when i have had time. Deadline for release has been put back until end of September i`m afraid because of work. Anyway here is everything i have done since last update. I am currently creating levels for the game which is taking a bit more time than i thought it would, in creating challenging levels. I will update news at more regular intervals from now on.

everything seems to be coming together nicely now, i am creating new levels that will be in final game, and trying to get the difficulty curve so that game gets harder as you progress.

Improvements:

  • Added a background image to the level select screen.
  • Added a main menu button to the level select screen.
  • main menu button on level select screen now works.
  • Added IAP to game to get rid of adverts, still testing at the moment though.
  • Added credits screen.
  • Created sprites to animate for death sequence.
  • implemented death sequence.
  • Had to turn physics off when sarah died and turned into an angel as she could not fly through the tiles.
  • Added a back button to the high score table, to take you back to the main menu.
  • You can now enter your name when you get a high score.
  • created graphics for high score screen.
  • Tidied up the high score name input screen, now looks ok, and name centered as you type it in.
  • High score screen now finished, all data formatted so that it looks good when printed to screen
  • Changed all the menus so that they have a standard look.
  • Added game save facility, so that your progress in casual mode is saved along with how well you have done in each level.


Changes:

  • Game now checks if you have an internet connection when loading high score table. Game would previously crash or hang until one was found. It now checks for 5 seconds before continuing without the high scores.
  • fixed a glitch when playing casual mode score was being added up before going to score screen as well when it got to score screen.
  • Added a "loading..." message after splash screen whilst the game is being initialised.
  • You now get an extra life when you collect 100 stars in arcade mode.
  • added some particle effects when you get an extra life.
  • Added hi score to game hud. So you can see what to aim for, in arcade mode.
  • Changed size of the settings screen as it was too big and i was changing size within code. This has now been made smaller so it will save space and not needing to resize in game.
  • stars collected were not being displayed in casual mode, this has now been fixed.


Bug fixes:

  • when viewing high score table before playing, in game score is set to lowest score in table. this has now been fixed.
  • Small glitch fixed when score was not being reset when starting new game.
  • The score was not adding up correctly in certain situations, now fixed.
  • Fixed a bug where entering name in mobile version was not working.
  • The game crashed when displaying the high score table which contained less than 10 entries. now fixed.
  • fixed an issue where the score was not counting down to zero when adding time left bonus to score in arcade mode.
  • fixed the issue with sarah as an angel not appearing in the mobile version. I had saved the image in a format that AGK (App Game Kit) did not support.
  • Fixed: progress in levels was not saving correctly.
  • Fixed: sound for extra life was being played when sound was set to 0% in settings


Known issues:


  • Sarah seems to float about for a while when you reach the end of a level.
  • Game still crashing sometimes when loading new level in pc version, not as much as before though.
