1pixelarmy Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hi all! Just uploaded my second Phaser game. I made a port of my Android's Retro Basketball game, using MSX palette. You can play it from your browser here: http://1pixelarmy.com/html5_games/retro_basketball.html If you're interested, you can also download it here for your Android device (Android version is native, not HTML5), currently it has >20k downloads! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sku.retrobasket Any comment or suggestion will be very welcomed! Best regards, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevdude Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Good game, nice graphics and retro feel. I have a few suggestions: 1. The controls for aiming the ball are hard to get used to, because the up and down arrow keys control the y position and the side arrows control the x position. It would feel more natural if you made the side arrows control the angle and the up/down arrows control the power. 2. Make the speed of the basketballs a little faster to speed up the pace of gameplay. The gravity should be greater, unless you're going for a moon type setting. 3. Add sounds when the basketball makes it into the hoop and when you shoot the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BdR Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I agree with kevdude about the controls, and why no swipe controls like in iBasket ? Also, I think there is a bug, the aiming ball+line dissapears after entering highscore name and starting a second game (Windows 10, Chrome).

I've also changed controls, I'm not 100% sure I like it more than before, but I'll give it a try. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to add swipe controls soon, so you can play with keyboard or mouse. So far, I've changed controls behaviour following @BdR suggestion. David.

rich Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Quite liked that, although felt quite difficult to aim it right! Also if a ball bounces back, it can hit the ball you're trying to aim and knock it off. I had one ball fly off the top of the screen One last little bug: If you score a basket as the time runs out, the floating points text that appears above the basket remains in the game, through-out the highscore name entry, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've fixed the bug (and another one I found in the way). Also, now you can see your score position in hall of fame, and I've added a Twitter button to share your result.

Swipe controls added, Btw, some great players around, high scores table is quite impressive right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelHunter Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Fun game, but the aiming is a bit hard. Also found a bug: A flying ball can hit the the ball you are aiming with, sending it flying away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1pixelarmy Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Just for you to know. Best promotion move I made so far is posting in reddit. I've posted about the game in /WebGames subreddit and get 1000+ plays in a single day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
