Over a week without a post, but that doesn’t mean there has been no progress! Last week I finally caved in and bought a Nexus One which has enabled me to easily test the game on a phone (Eclipse integration is excellent). Because of this there has been a bunch of progress made, summary:
- Added bomb character, which explodes an entire row
- Added difficulties, easy, medium and hard
- Added local highscores for all difficulties (no network highscores in this version)
- Finally added a gameover screen, which shows you your score, game time and lets you save a highscore if you got one.
- Lots of tweaks and polishes to sound with subtle variations and a timer that beeps when it’s low so you get warning before the game abruptly ends!
I am still waiting on both the ingame music and some sprites from the art guy, hopefully these will be completed this week. My focus over this time will be the side screens such as a tutorial, credits and a splash screen.
