My first game Arkamania has been published

jdbc

Hi all

After one month using Gideros Studio, I have published my first game Arkamania developed with this easy mobile game framework. This game provides a retro gameplay similar to classic arcade games such as Arkanoid or Breakout. My first intention was to learn about programming with Gideros and lua.

Game is available in Google play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=es.jdbc.arkamania

Using Lua programming language, C++ plugins and some lua modules as scenemanager.lua have provided me a real advantage to develop more quickly, only focused on logic game and game art.

I have also plans to release this game in Apple Store but I need to tested it in Xcode.

Thanks for this forum and its great support. Comments are welcome to improve this game.

Ok.

One month studying Gideros and released a game? Nice! Congoratz!!

You could also set your background colour to black at the start of your app - that would get rid of (or at least disguise) the white bands!

I have done this indeed. Next release will change border and background to black.

or simply put two rectangle shapes with black color on top of the scenemanager so if anything goes out of your logical area that will not shown.

I used to put 4 rectangles to do that so that there were black shields on all sides to hide stuff that goes out of the logical area. Did that as some tablets have 'squarer' aspect ratios so the blank area can be at the sides as well as top and bottom.

Hi all again.

After two months, some improvements, changes, publishing issues, finally Arkamania is also available for iOS platform:

Hi, everyone.

I have just been playing ARKAMANIA on an iPod Touch and it is freaking SWEET! I'm still listening to the (EXCITING) menu music now because I cannot bear to switch it off. It has put me in such a good mood.

By the way, you don't have to slide your finger against the friction of the touch-screen in this one (unless you want to). -Freakin' FIIIINALLY!- You can just tap! This is the block-breaker I have been waiting for! (I have tried, and deleted, MANY.)

THANK YOU, @jdbc. ARKAMANIA is WELL cool.

With Much Gratitude,
Platypus

I was thinking to add some icon for music off.

My intention in paddle control was to make easier as I could, and you can simply tap on screen and paddle will go there, just it is your choice :-)

Thanks for the comments.

With some of my help, my brother has also released Arkasteroid, a similar game using on my brick breaker game engine based on Gideros. He has changed levels, music, graphics, effects, environment and some of the gameplay:

It is available on Google Play appstore and Slideme:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=es.jlbc.arkasteroid
http://slideme.org/application/arkasteroid

Gideros is amazing :-)

Great app. Love it. Fun music too!

Arkasteroid is also available on Apple app store

Similar brick breaker game but with different graphics, effects, sounds, and levels.
