Dave

So very satisfying to watch! Congratulations - awesome work.

Some progress has been made and a lot of bugs have been squished!

@Dave , may I please request that you add some thumping techno with the next patch?

Pretty, please?

Dave

@vinicity Won't be able to for the next patch, but certainly for subsequent ones I could look at it :)

The game is now called Super LASER BLAST!

It is a relaxing puzzle game, with mechanics inspired by an old flash game called Gimme Friction Baby. Try to rack up as many points as possible by making combos!

It supports both touchscreen and joycon controls, and you can switch display modes on the fly in order to play it with the Switch on the side (Tate style!) or the other way up (for instance when playing on the TV).

Big thank you to @Retrocade_media for the Tate Template code and to @spikey for the persistent High Score code!
I hope you like it, and please post your high scores in this thread!

Expect a new update shortly with support for a new Time Attack game mode.

@vinicity glad to hear this code was useful! I will right away try Super LASER BLAST.

vinicity

@spikey Yeah, a great piece of code, very neat and easy to use! Thank you for that!

I like this you've done a great job. Cool graphics and an original mechanic for the gameplay. And the touch controls make it just a great way to play.

It'll be a minute before I get back to my switch, but I'm excited to try this out!

cheers 😀
I added also a resetHighScores() function.

I don't know why but can't download it because the ip (HBG33MND5C) it says project: not found is this showing to everyone or is just me?

This means that it is awaiting approval. It takes two people to approve a program and unfortunately it is just me here at the moment

Hold off, I found a game breaking bug. Will fix and re-share.

New update is now live!

Please download the latest version of Super LASER BLAST, since there are lots of bug fixes and new features.

Changes made in Version 2.01 (Release date 2020-09-02):

Added immersive HD Rumble
Added Rank view in HUD + Rank up sound effect
Added Time Attack mode
Added Expert Mode
Added new loading screen (thanks, toxibunny!)
Added support for multiple high score tables (thanks, Spikey!)
Various fixes and tweaks

Time Attack turns the heat up by making every second count as you race to beat the highest scores. You only play for six minutes, making this the perfect mode to play while waiting for the bus or for your next zoom meeting to start.

Expert Mode is not for the faint of heart! Only true experts have a chance when circles that are left alone increase their health after every fourth shot fired. Once health reaches ten, the circle becomes indestructible. Better not let that happen!

Version 2.02 is now live.

Contains fixes to make Super LASER BLAST work in Fuze 2.15.
