[Phaser]Duke of Bows

[Team_Q]

 

 

Hey Cool Crew,

Here is my attempt at making an HTML5 game using Phaser and typescript,

 

I'm traditionally a Flash/XNA/Unity developer but I've been trying my hand at Phaser. This is my first attempt!

 

Play!!!

 

Comments and Critiques are welcome. I'm still updating it and I'm going to add sounds, but check it out.

Thanks,

Eric

Fun although quite tricky on a touchpad! I think it should automatically fire the arrow if the cursor leaves the game area, or it gets stuck and when you move back over the game it's sort of locked.

 

I liked the way you could kill the birds by just walking into them with an arrow drawn

Thanks buddy!

Yeah I'm going to have to figure how to set out of bounds mouse cursor up.

Thanks for Phaser, used a bunch of your Flixel extentions back in the day. So phaser rocks for me.

Look at the Game.onBlur and onFocus signals. Also Game.onPause and Game.onResume. Using a combination of those you can easily tell when the game has lost and re-gained focus (on desktop at least )

This was actually quite fun. Great artwork. I will say it would be nice if you added the full screen mobile support. Great job.

nice game.

 

You might reverse the controls to have the bow angle when you point more into the screen instead of out of the screen?

[Team_Q]

I figured the controls as they were are more indicative of "drawing back your bow". I'm trying to incorporate for screen scaling now, thanks, RubyHelix

Fun game, feels like a prototype but that doesn't make it bad. The controls are a bit icky as mentioned above with the problem of losing focus getting the arrow 'stuck'. I also noticed the birds sometime fly out of screen while passing you. You only briefly catch them in top right or bottom right corner.

 

Anyway, score: 29!!!

 

+1 keep it up

Pretty cool game but there's no sound effects..?

 

I also noticed some birds flying too high or too low out of the screen, so you don't see them passing you. Also, maybe add balloons with powerups, like double arrow or continuous firing arrows?

[Team_Q]

I'm not sure I understand what's wrong with the controls. You're drawing back, like with a bow,you can click anywhere on the screen to draw.

 

Noted about the birds flying off of the screen, I'll come up with a solution for that issue.

I've updated the Duke!

Fixes include:
Dynamic Screen Size!
Black Background!

twice the number of ways to fire arrows!

Loading Arrow is the correct way!

Birds less likely to leave and never return!

Deleted useless files from folder!
 

Still working on:
Sounds
Desktop focus issues.

I've tried this out on IPad 4 and HTC 1 and it seems work/scale correctly.

Any feedback/HotTips appreciated.

 

Play!!!
