Runaway [Final 10.12.08]

[Red Sky]

Update on 12/31.
Please note anything with attack mode is broken, it's something I'm working on at the moment. Selecting Attack mode in the game modes is probably a bad idea, as i'm not sure if you can get back to the normal game without resetting at that point. [/p]
Also, this will fix any issues with zBlade and restarting. I fixed a minor bug with the touch controls going faster than non touch. I think i fixed a few other minor things, but this has spanned over months, so i'm not sure what else i've done.

I think i can call this a Final release now.

Creator: Joseph Donofry (Link9228)
Version: 1.05
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

Bugs:
none are known as of now (Please tell me if you find any)

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

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

[Red Sky]

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]

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

[Red Sky]

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

[Scrapz616]

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.

[Red Sky]

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]

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

[ZeroCool2021]

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]

screenshots please?

[shadowseekr]

ya screenshots would be nice

[gohstface]

sounds like a good game downloadin it now

[Soccerfreak24]

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.

[Red Sky]

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]

Awesome!! I give you +rep!

[Red Sky]

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.

[Red Sky]

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

[sir justin]

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

[Red Sky]

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.

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]
