Runaway [Final 10.12.08]

Link9228 · 07-29-2008, 02:17 PM

Update on 10/12.

I think i can call this a Final release now.

Objective:
You play as a little green square and you have to avoid the red square. There are a few different options to change the gameplay (option for teleporting enemy instead of one that follows, and one that allows you to go through the edges of the screen and come out the other side). As of right now, the high score won't survive quitting the game, but will stay there as long as you continue playing. There are three different pickups, (speed, life, and slowdown) that randomly spawn at different times.

Controls:
touch controls
- Dpad moves in the direction you push
-play/pause to pause the game, back to resume once paused

Bugs:
none that are known as of now

please inform me of any other bugs you find, i'm pretty sure there are some others i can't remember at the moment.

Features:
-Select music from different artists on your zune
-Uses ZBlade menu system
-There are many different options to pick from, scroll through the menu to see
them all
-PLEASE NOTE that the touch controls are in a beta state, I do not have a
touch zune to test with.

Any comments or concerns can be directed to my email at rubberduckie3554@yahoo.com, please use Runaway! as the subject line so i don't mark it as spam. Thanks!

updates
added the Guide.Show();
-accessed from the Zune Menu option

You messed up your zuneblade reference. Copy the ZuneBlade dll into the games folder and reference it from there, instead of somewhere on your hd

Link9228 · 07-29-2008, 03:01 PM

I'll try to fix it tonight, but i can't make any promises, and thanks for pointing that out.

ok guys, try again and tell me if it works, the zblade file is now inside of the runaway!.zip file so i think it should work.

Scrapz616 · 07-29-2008, 04:03 PM

I don't know why, but I can't download the file anymore, it doesn't show up for me.

Link9228 · 07-29-2008, 04:12 PM

sorry about that, i forgot to fix the link when i reuploaded, try it again.

Scrapz616 · 07-29-2008, 04:33 PM

Ok, thanx. The link works now. So far it's a pretty fun game. The only thing that didn't work for me so far is the powerdown thing(the circle with the down arrow) made my guy freeze in place.
Its pretty good so far, keep up the good work.

Link9228 · 07-29-2008, 04:46 PM

hmm... that's weird that the powerdown made you freeze in place, i put code in so that the player speed can't get below one, but i'll have to fix that later.

i'm glad it works though.

ok, don't count this as a double post please. I just modified the code, so try it now. i think i fixed it.

Rockman87 · 07-29-2008, 06:48 PM

game works fine. I didn't see any bugs. The touch works great! I like the background scrolling feature.

ZeroCool2021 · 07-30-2008, 04:07 AM

Huh, When I try and play the green guy wont move.
I have tried it with touch on and off, I have a 30.
Help, It sounds decent.
And the freezing thing someone else was talking about happend to me too.

pj9000 · 07-30-2008, 03:51 PM

screenshots please?

shadowseekr · 07-30-2008, 04:40 PM

ya screenshots would be nice

gohstface · 07-30-2008, 04:59 PM

sounds like a good game downloadin it now

(-_-) · 07-30-2008, 05:04 PM

Awesome, just got back from vacation and it's nice to see some new games out. I'll dL in a sec. Good work though.

Link9228 · 07-31-2008, 02:25 PM

I'll work on getting screenshots soon. I am getting my internet back tomorrow. I am glad to hear that the touch works. And to ZeroCool, I have a zune 30 and haven't seen this problem. If you have touch turned on, the dpad will not work, but it should work if you have it turned off. Touch is off by default when you load the game, so try restarting the game and see if you have problems still. The only thing that i can think of is that once you turn touch on, it doesn't turn back off again. But thanks everyone for your feedback, I appreciate it.

sir justin · 07-31-2008, 03:15 PM

Awesome!! I give you +rep!

Link9228 · 07-31-2008, 04:48 PM

Hey guys, i just put up an update that fixed problems with the menu, now you can hit the back button and it won't close the menu on you. There is a close menu option that i added to the menu, and when the menu is on the bottom of the screen, closed, hitting back resumes the game. Plus i added a sound for when you collide with the red guy, but i'm not sure if that was in the previous release or not.

Link9228 · 08-03-2008, 05:57 PM

so... anyone have anything that they feel i should add to the game, or change?

sir justin · 08-03-2008, 07:29 PM

haha man I posted mine in the wrong thread...but this game is ok I guess...kind of boring

Link9228 · 09-17-2008, 03:27 PM

I just released an update. It can be found on the first post.

Updates are: Highscores are working
Graphics updated a bit for the powerups
Improved battery usage by calling updates less

tell me what you think, and i'll make a note of it.

Runaway.zip - FileFront.com

I updated the code to work with the 3.0 zunes. I still am open to any changes people want. There aren't any improvements in this release.

mrgoodnight · 09-17-2008, 04:00 PM

thanks for the update, bout to put in on my new z120
