Archer - A bow and arrow game
Hey everyone yesterday I had spent about 8 hour of hard Scratching in order to make my first very complex game. The game is called Archer and in the game you are an archer 
.
You are able to decide whether you want to play on an easy, medium, or hard level. Each of the levels has its own time limit and score limit. Please check it out and let me know what you think
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/SDK/1960894
I am currently still working out some little bugs and I thought that it would help me if you all played the game for a minute and told me a few things to fix. I already know of some current bugs and they are:
1. Help Menu, this is kind of bugging me as well as the game because for some reason the help menu is not aligned with x:0 and y:0.
2. Stage Minutes and Stage Seconds, I have no clue why the variables came up like this and I have no clue why they moved from there place.
If anyone finds a bug in the game that is not on here please let me know on this forum post or in the comments. But please remember I made this entire 39 sprite 182 script project in a total of 8 hours so I am very proud of my work.
Thanks!

Re: Archer - A bow and arrow game
Great game, I really like it 
And 8 hours of continuous coding? I wish my parents would let me do that
And to make the game better, maybe you could make the graphics a little better and maybe easy being easier and hard being harder, as it's not too different. Medium could stay the same, though.

Re: Archer - A bow and arrow game
Thank you for the compliment! I was pretty lucky with them not really paying attention to me
I have a few things more things that I am working on right now such as:
1. Powerups
2. Better Graphics
3. More levels!
I have also fixed a few more bugs such as:
1. Help menu not showing up after one game.
2. Being able to push the play and help button during a game.
Thanks again!

That sounds great! What type of powerups do you mean-Freezing the opponents, running faster, etc.? If you do, you should make it so you can have one powerup at a time, and pressing space or something uses it, because if when you get it it's used, the opponents could be behind walls or something, making the powerup but wasting time. If you can choose when to use it, however, you could make the powerup more worth it. You could, for example, if you have 4 powerups, have a variable named "Powerupnumber" and if they have no powerup, the variable's at 0, if it has freezing, 1, if it has superspeed, 2, etc., and when space is pressed if Powerupnumber=0, no effect, if it equals one, to broadcast something named Freeze, and a script on the enemies that make it so that if they get the broadcast, they freeze. If Powerupnumber=2, it changes another variable named Speed which is usually at the normal player speed, and having the variable Speed be the speed the player goes on, but when space key is pressed and Powerupnumber=2, the variable Speed changes by double for 5 seconds, let's say.
If you didn't understand a thing about the Powerupnumber and Speed variables, I wouldn't blame you, I usually think well and explain horribly xD If this is the case, I could easily remix the project with these two powerups included and give it to you.

Re: Archer - A bow and arrow game
I'm actually in school right now (Don't worry, I'm allowed ), but I leave here at 1:30 (Get home at 2:00) Scratch Time, so if it's Scratch Time I'll be here in time to watch it when it comes out

Re: Archer - A bow and arrow game
I have just quickly added some notifcations that pop up every time you choose a difficulty the notification tells you the time limit and score limit for each level.
My up coming plans are:
v0.2.6: powerups
v0.2.8: unlimited score mode
v0.3: Kiddie and Extreme levels
