<?>[G] EzKiv 1.0

[eighthNote]

A play on Eskiv.

The controls/gameplay should become pretty obvious. Collect the yellow circles while avoiding the red.

Old Download 1.0.0.0(I think, it also might be 1.1...)

New Download 2.0.0.1

screen shot/video?

This is pretty fun.
The "M" in "Game Over" seems a little messed up though.

Good job even though i havent tried it

Thanks! The m is pretty standard: Seven-segment display character representations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There isn't really a good way of drawing m's, k's, w's and the like using 8 segs.(not including the dot...)

ahh, very nice.

All this needs is a bigger D-pad and it's a very fun and addicting games.
Also, I'm not sure if you need to move in diagonal directions. I would prefer if you couldn't, but that's mostly because I keep pressing it when I don't want it.
The best would be like a joystick that allows for 360 degree movement, but that's more difficult. With a larger D-pad, 4 directions is very playable.
It looks good and is pretty fun. Just difficult to play.

Meh:


And, yeah, the d-pad should be a bit larger.

Update!

I really just changed how the dpad works. Its pretty nice now.

Also: high scores?
I think I'm doing pretty well with 105

Indeed, it is.

[eighthNote]

I think I'm going to update the graphics a bit, such that they are really easy to scale around to different resolutions to work on older zunes and newer phones.

Its gonna look puuuurdy.

+rep

[eighthNote]

Update.

Now the game makes full use of the screen, the dpad is slightly better, and the name has been changed to better suit what it will eventually become.

(touch the screen for the dpad to appear)

edit: whoops, forgot to uncomment something.

Edit: You could just call it Skivball...+rep anyway.

This is a great example of a simple game with enjoyable, "just one more", gameplay. At first I thought the download failed, seeing as it is only 16k. Great things come in small packages, right? I really like the dynamic d-pad. It takes some getting used to, but it's pretty clever and works fine. Have you tried implementing a tilt based movement? My thumb seems to get in the way. Reminds me of Osmos. Anyway, this is awesome.
