post highscores 

Mine was 12.

Also if anyone would like a flash/flixel tutorial or the source code for this game I can provide links

Needs a game over screen, but EPIC.

dude i played like three times before i actually knew i was supposed to use the space bar

after that the only strategy is to mash the spacebar and move around a bunch
i guess if thats your kind of game than so be it

id give it a 2 out of 4

Great game archmage!

Oh yah, the links to a flixel/flash tut would be nice.

     

He probably shot the cloud dudes, they give 100,000 points each.

but thats not how you get big points...

Let me explain how to get massive scores like my 1.3 million. The main feature to this game is that redstars that come from shells can hit other shell and set off CHAIN REACTIONS. Every time the chain reaction is continued with the red stars the points you get is doubled (points can be seen when an enemy is destroyed). The best strategy is to let the shells build up to get massive chain reactions. See the youtube video I posted for a strategy that will work in my flash version.

In the original, you could get insane scores by exploiting these chain reactions. I have capped the score earned from chain reactions to 9999 because the scoring in the original was just madness.

Pretty cool, my left hand is now dead from hitting space so many times. 

My highscore 227,394.

What's with the scoring system?
Everything gives one, then all of a sudden, something gives 100,000
It's not well-thought out

Only the cloud guy can give 100,000 points. I don't see whats wrong with that.

The cloud guy has a few functions actually...

1. He gives 100,000 points
2. He clears all the shells on stage
3. He resets the shell drop rate
4. It takes longer for the next cloud guy to spawn

The cloud guy is meant to be an easy way for beginners to get points (I personally don't shoot them) as well as a way of prolonging the game.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are only getting "1"s then YOU ARE NOT PLAYING CORRECTLY. What you want is for the red stars that come off shells to hit other shells. Shooting shells alone gives almost no points. Please refer to this video on how to play like a pro http://www.scratch.mit.edu/ext/youtube/ … re=related


The most comparable version to this is this java game. If you want to compare games this is the one you should compare it to.

Things to do:
-Main coding is done, need to make cloud guy faster, harder to hit, may adjust shell speed
-Make a menu screen
-New graphics for a variety of things
-Instructions page
-Tips on death
-(maybe) upload to highscores board


Please note that this game is based off a SNES minigame which already isn't the best, but is remember by a few people who liked mario RPG. I am not trying to make a blockbuster, just trying to make an open source game and hone my flixel skills.
