What about a plasma sword? Not sure if it could do anything the power ups don't already do... But it would be a cool nod (;
Make a golden playable block skin unlock..it could correspond to a powerup that when collected gives a huge supercoin upgrade amount..for a limited time each time collected..and a third leaderboard? A thought.
How about a power-up that affect level spawn, like removing the horizontal gap between platforms for a limited time?
Can you do something similar to the freeze option... But have it just slow the rotation down? Slo mo? That way if you have the bezerck power up you could have potential to "eat" more red?
An easy fix and something cool might be just adding a power that gives all powers..and that floor thing..timed tho?
Sounds a bit too specialized and unpowerful without berserk Too powerful, but how about a power-up that gives 2 random power-ups? Could be nice, without being unbalanced.
Two powerups would be nice..random is cool too..or working on what K said stop rotation and increase berserk... Or one that started secret mode..Timed?
An sort of upgrade of berserk? How about something more spectacular like having berserk attract the enemies like the magnet. That would be a power-down Thanks for the help on brainstorming, we now have 2 decent ideas. Need to think which one would be more fun AND balanced.
Hmm I think that the berserk upgrade could cause problems. Probably going to go with the 2 random pwr-up, unless a better idea arise.
You can't bump a thread which is already on the top of the pile That feature alone would probably double the development time of the whole game. Get me the game on the App Store top 10 for a single day and I'll do it!
Yeah me too at first, then I thought that it would cause unfair death by bringing an enemy right on your path just before the timer stops. Might also be a bit unbalanced...
In score? 10 instead of 5? Probably unbalanced too. Something like 6 or 7 would be more reasonable, but then again, getting 2 random power-ups is probably more exciting isn't it? I'm doing it for the players so I don't care myself, I just have to make sure that the integrity of the game is preserved.
Ok 2 powerups it is..but tweak them a bit so they last longer? And look different in line up? All shiny and glowy..
I'm just spurting some ideas, you never know what may create a spark in someone else's mind amirite? And yeah I think the 2 random power ups isthe most exciting one so far. Perhaps one where your block gets bigger? (Like a mushroom in Mario haha). But this'll probably crest problems as most of it is set up specifically for the normal block size. Hmmm
a 2 random pwr-up buff feels underpowered? Don't forget that pwr-up spawn rate is cumulative with the number of pwr-up unlocked. Since there's 8, adding this also acts like having a 12.5% global increase pwr-up spawn. Could also pop 3 random pwr-up, but that sounds overpowered.
Exactly...that gave me the idea of a score coin PU (one-time value of like 15-20) but the other idea still looks better. Toyed a bit with the shape size idea, though I could not lead that down a satisfactory path... Made the first tests on the double PU spawn, looks nice so far. An interesting consequence is that since you don't know what just spawned, you end up juggling between playing the level and calculating your new possibilities.
