Apple Quest

Hi guys,

 

It's been a while since I follow this forum but, I am a member just now.

My name is Nuno and I am starting with game development now. I am not a game developer but a javascript developer and that was the reason why I choose HTML5 + Javascript to develop game, this way I can have fun and also improve my skills.

 

My first game is a simple Side Scroller Game very basic. You control a caveman that needs to collect all the apples so that you can go to next level. I have chosen ImpactJS as the game engine and I am quite happy with it (why impactJS)

 

The game is available in my website and also in Google Chrome Store

 

I would appreciate any feedback ...what did you like, what could be improved etc

 

Thanks!

Nice !

Can you add a transition (maybe fade in/fade out) between two levels please, it's very brutal and hurt my eyes ^^

Love the dinosaurs! They look fantastic!

[Mike]

Graphics and level design is cool...

 

On the start level and the end of the level I expect a hard wall rather then invisible wall and thin air.

Also I don't like the "air "time" and sliding physics of the main hero when jumping.

 

And one feature request ... please make him able to throw the axe and kill dinosaurs P

Nice graphics. But very noise jump sound.

 

I think would be great if you make arrow up key as jump too.

Hi!

 

My thoughts while playing:

 

• Great Artwork! Especially for a first game.
• Maybe Non-8-Bit-Sounds would fit better to the overall style?
• Why the Axe when you can't use it?
• A little tiny bit of story (why does the guy need apples?) would do good.
• The acceleration while jumping should be as quick as while walking. Of course it's not realistic to be able to move while jumping, but it feels better.
• Why is there an "X" for the goal? An "X" feels more like "don't go here!". Maybe replace it with a b/w checkered pattern, like at car-races?
• Why does the guy need to go to the finish? You could give the character a girlfriend, who is waiting at the finish-area and who wants the player to bring her apples, because it's too dangerous for her to go due to the dinos  

All in all i think it feels really polished and I hope you'll take it a bit further!

 

cheers!

Will there be a mobile version?

Nice work, the game looks great!

 

I would agree that it could use a small back story, just to help connect the player to your character! And possibly look for some non 8-bit sounds that will better compliment the graphics!

 

I look forward to the next version

Hi guys,

 

I really appreciate your feedback! 

 

Agree with all your requests... specially the one to throw the axe! : ) I would love that too!

 

The thing is, I am just a developer and I didn't do the graphics, actually I bought them and for that reason I am very limited...

 

So... unfortunately:

 

- no sign without cross 

- no axe to throw

- no frames with character without axe

- why apples? .. well didn't have nothing more actually

 

 

At least I have a mobile version:

Maybe I'll try to make it available on Android (with more levels perhaps..)

 

 

Thank you all again!
