30.06.2010 - no comments

And here it is! the long awaited update for TimeChaos on Android !  What this update brings is a massive amount of goodies and it brings the game from a 48 hour project into a full and complete fun arcade experience.

You want the details on the update? Ok, how about this:  the single-screen gameplay is now turned into three missions, covering four area’s each !  We filled the area’s with soldiers, grenadiers, tanks, giants, NINJA’s !! laser-shooting-gizmo’s and big-knife carrying psycho’s!

But don’t worry! you get all the ammo you need, grenades, big-rounds, and a lot of powerups to keep you alive. We added more tunes, sound effects, and enhanced the gameplay in all area’s!

Trust me, you will want to get this update right now  the Android version remains free for now, with ad-sponsoring in there, but please don’t hesitate to give us some sponsoring if you want by visiting the Flash version and press the PayPal donate button

beta testing before release

The big update for TimeChaos on Android is coming, all that is left is some hardcore game testing and then we are done. So with some luck we can release it either tomorrow or thursday !  The iPhone version is still waiting for Apple’s approval, but we have good hopes that it get’s the green light this week.

Check out the flash version to see what to expect in the Android version (a freaking third mission has been added!!)  the iPhone gamers will have to settle for two missions, but that’s because that whole approval process is a big pain in everyone’s butt

Flashing our style

Remember what I said about this being a 48 hour project thing? Well after the iPhone version, I wanted to try some Flash development, and what better game to use as my first Flash game (EVER) !?  So now we have TimeChaos as Flash game available to be played online in your browser

At this vary moment it’s even more interesting, because it already features the massive update we have coming to Android and on iPhone. Yup this little Flash version has the full missions with all the new enemies, locations, and grenades!  So give it a try or wait for the mobile update coming next week to Android and hopefully iPhone !

more 8 bit gameboy fun!

So originally this game was just a little 48 hour fun thing I made for Android.. but then last week I ported the game to iPhone (coming soon) and also started to think about the various stuff that can be done to the game. The first thing that I wanted to do was add more environment, so this was basically a very simple thing to do: I’ve split up all the enemies into “waves” and made the background level a much larger horizontal strip that you can walk around in.

So after every wave you have to walk to the right, having a feeling of progressing through the game area’s, and the game already had this increase in difficulty the longer your played, so the farther you get into the level, the hard it seems to become. Pretty simple changes, the most work was put into actually drawing a much bigger background !

Of course this is not where we end, the next update will get all this AND a second level, so we split up the levels into “missions” and we are suddenly getting a much bigger game with little to no changes in the core concept. The second level will feature some new type of enemies and dangers, to keep the game interesting, and possible we will add some more weapons or bonus stuff to keep everything balanced.

I really like this limit on the amount of colors I can put into the artwork (just four colors!!), it means you have to be much more into the details and place pixels one by one to get things looking good.. level one and two are now completely drawn, so have a look at some screenshots from the various area’s:

#iPhone version is ready!

Our little retro GameBoy style game is now coming to iPhone!  It contains everything from the latest Android version, and the gameplay is just as frantic and brilliant as the original.

If all goes right, Apple should be approving the app within this week, so  stay tuned!
