Wow great game I can’t believe I missed this
the bee pulls out a 12 gauge shotgun and fires in 6 directions-
this is stupid i know
Suggestion for full game release:
make it so that you can skip cutscenes that play in-between phases, the cutscene to the last phase is WAY too long.
Attack Idea:
Am I seeing triple?
The bee multiples into 3 smaller versions of itself and each of them recklessly flies around the screen with warning lines and you have to dodge them for a moment, then the bee’s group back together and the next attack begins.
Yeah, I’m gonna attempt that. Maybe not for the phase two one, I’m gonna tweak that so phase two’s cutscene begins at 5 health.
As for phase 3, I will find a way.
Thank you
Yeah, anyone can use it
Wait how do you import songs?
Wanna know for my game, thank you!
I just used trial and error, can’t really remember how I did it.
If you’re just starting the project, copying the code in from JavaScript could work.
GGRRRRRRR
IT BEEN 2 WEEKS
Y U NO RELEASED UPDATE YET?
I have a REALLY bad work ethic…
I’ll get onto making it now.
Oh forgot to ask too, what did you use for the fade technique?
This is actually one of the most fun games I’ve run across in Makecode Arcade! Good work with the scripting and buildup. I died to the big bee (mostly because I stink at games).
Feedback and Questions (I’m pretty new to Makecode Arcade so these may seem like dumb questions):
- No need for swear words, it’s not helping the game.
- I absolutely love the fast background in the beginning, that’s really cool and inspiring for some “fast” game ideas I have for the future.
- What did you do/write for the chat bubbles and the intro text (that seemed to wrap to newlines? Was that manual with
textsprite
? - Did you use simple timings for the “AI” of the bosses? I’ve been interested in figuring out ways to make my enemies smarter, I assume it’s kind of a timing script.
Keep it up, this is really good combination of difficulty, replay-ability and fun. The game “engine” itself is hard but making a balanced game is waaay more difficult and this is a good example of that balance.
I didn’t look at the code
I used the ‘Colour Fading’ extension
- I’ll fix some of those
- The scrolling is pretty simple as well! Just use the background scrolling extension.
- The chat bubbles are super simple, I used the ‘mySprite say’ then what you want them to say after that.
- The AI is weird… it’s hard to call it ‘AI’ when all of the movements and timings are hard coded. What I did, I made an attack cycle using functions and then looped that when the status bar’s value was over 0.
Awesome. Yeah you always wonder when you see something that looks and works so nice if there’s some “extra magic”. Typically though it’s just a series of things you already know or just simple things you would have done if you just sat down and tried it yourself.
Thanks, still learning “what’s built in” va “what’s custom made” in this area.
Project Update, stuff isn’t going well.
It’s all because of skipping the cutscene that builds up to phase three. If you press B after skipping the cutscene, then the cutscene continues to play and everything just falls apart. I don’t know why it’s happening, and I don’t know why it’s going wrong, so I was planning on sharing the most up-to-date version of the game in hopes that one of ya’ll can maybe help.
Only issue, it keeps on saying ‘Oops! Not connected to the internet!’ Over and over every time I try to share the link. Which might be an issue, because my chronic stupid could make it difficult for me to fix this myself and if I can’t share it the game may be broken permanently, just because I have to implement a skip cutscene.
I’ll post again when I’m (hopefully) able to start sharing again /:
16 days
and still
no update
THATS ITT!!!
I SUE @Galcake
NOOOOO DON’T SUE ME
I promise I will get one out soon, I’ve just been doing assessment stuff in school and currently J.O.B is not my priority.
- PHASE 3 SKIP CUTSCENE!!!
- Finish the game already
I am JUST AS FED UP as all of you guys are with the lack of this update. Almost all of the things holding me back from actually updating it is this stupid phase three cutscene skip that I can never get to work and is honestly kind of demotivating /:
I was probably gonna scrap it (seeing as it wouldn’t be consistent if you could only skip that cutscene and not the FAR SHORTER phase 2 cutscene) but I decided it’d be better to let you guys pick.
Make sure to vote!
