Hello people of the forum, Before we begin I should state how work in progress this project is. I don't even have a name for this app! However, I think it is important to showcase this app early so I can get early opinions. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Code: Swipe Game (let's call it that for now) is going to be a two-player Game Center Multiplayer game where player can either team up with friends to take down new monthly boss battles or compete with players head-to-head in intense space battles. What makes the game unique is the different movement options space ships can perform in this game. You have so many ways to move, but you can do everything with a single finger. Tap to move, swipe to dash, and 3D touch or long press to teleport. Tapping the super button unleashes a powerful attack/transformation that can drastically swing the tides of battle. With such fast-paced movement and crazy super moves, each match will keep you exhilarated from beginning to end! This game will include: - Awesome multiplayer modes including 1v1 battles and monthly boss battles - Different ships with their own unique abilities and stats (All can be unlocked for free as users play the game) - Cool palette swaps for ships - Game Center Leaderboards and Achievements - Online Ranked Mode *** Color Swaps While the game and space ships are available for free, users can purchase unique colors in order to personalize your favorite battle ship. *** Screen Shots Thank you so much for reading! I encourage you to post in this thread you opinions and criticism. You can keep up to date with the latest news here: https://adibkhanblog.wordpress.com and here: https://twitter.com/AppsByAdibKhan and of course I'll be constantly updating this post!
Holy crap those sprites look great. Hope to get my fingers on this one soon! PS: Kevin MacLoed is the best!
Thanks for the reply, if you like those sprites you're going to love some of the new sprites for the other ships: PS: He is the best!
Nice job so far, thanks for sharing. I think the control mechanic here is going to be key to whether it works. It's tough to get right, but will be worth it. Any ideas for explaining the different controls to users when they first play it?
Thanks for the reply, the control mechanics are pretty simple you either tap, swipe, or 3D touch/long press but it does take a bit to get used to. I plan to introduce users into the game with a small tutorial so that they can understand how the game works. And of course there is training mode. What are your thoughts?
Follow up! Hello readers, I'm working on a trailer for this game with updated graphics. Here's some screenshots of the game at its current state:
Well that concept for controls seem fine, I was more just saying that any time you spend perfecting/making sure it works as intended will probably be worth it. It's okay if there's a learning curve, but could be frustrating if taps ever get interpreted as swipes, or vice versa, for example.
Oh I see, thank you for bringing that up. I'll take special care especially during beta testing (whenever I get there) to make sure controls feel deliberate.
Thank you for your reply. Did you mean Battlestar Galactica? Which ship? I based my designs off common spaceship archetypes. The second one was supposed to resemble an alien ship.
this game looks awesome ! Can we play again many players at the same time or is it just possible to compete against one ? When will it be released ? Keep me posted about this game !
Thanks for the reply! I'm not sure about the release date but I'd say I can start beta testing by August. Currently the two game types are both 2 players but I plan to make another 3 versus 3 game type if all goes well!
Holy crap that 3rd super was awesome. I can't wait to play the game and go hulk on a tiny ship! Keep me posted!
Oh I see the resemblance! Thanks for pointing it out! I also see a lot of other cool ships from Galactica that gives me ideas.
Graphics Concept I noticed the game looked terribly unpolished so here is a concept I have for the game's new graphics.
Yeh I see! Now just to think of awesome supers and stats to match. I'll probably be taking suggestions during the game's beta
