Space Pilot 2094

Post by SpookyElectric1 »

Think this is in the right board but please move if not.

I done an iOS game which can be grabbed from here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/space-p ... 29579?mt=8

Space Pilot 2094 is the first in a new range of retro LCD games which have been carefully designed from the ground up to look, feel, sound and play authentically. Just like the original hand-held games from the '80s – they will be easy to pick up, but difficult to master.

Guide your ship left and right, avoiding the falling asteroids while keeping an eye on your fuel level – which can be topped up whenever the tank appears at the bottom of the screen. Run out of fuel and it’s game over. Hit three asteroids – time to call Houston. As the obstacles increase and things speed up the game will get difficult, but never impossible, thanks to the clever patterns you can learn from repeated plays.

Can you ‘clock’ the game by reaching the coveted score of 999 and resetting everything back to zero?

** NO IN-APP PURCHASES & NO ADVERTS **

Nicely done.

Would be nice if it had

- A pause option.

- A high score (just the best go would be fine.)

- A way to start at a higher level or a difficult mode that starts as though you a few minutes in.

470 odd first go, but disappointed with that. Sone silly deaths...

Thanks for the feedback. Not the first person to ask for a pause button. The originals didn't have one though – so for the sake of authenticity I've left it out for now, but could definitely think about adding one as it's the most common request so far. I guess it's not 1982 anymore. My only concern is that pausing the game would make it easy to 'cheat' and give you time to decide your next move. What I would probably do is blank the screen in some way while it was paused.

High score (while on the 'Press Start to play' screen) is already on the first planned 'update' list. Updates put the game back on the map, so it's worth throwing one out there every few weeks/months even if you've just removed a comment in the code. Facebook 'bug fixes' anyone? ;)

Nice opening score there BTW. The silly deaths are easy until you know the patterns.

Oh, and it would be really fantastic of you if you could pop a quick review on iTunes / the App Store. You know, something like 5 stars and 'The best game ever'. See, I've made it easy for you too. Just copy/paste what I've written there. ;)

Version 1.1 has been released. Fixes a very unlikely blank pattern about a third of the way into the game.

For some reason I don't get the 'write a review' link on any app in the app store. Most odd and googling has found nothing obvious so far.

So I will leave a review once I figure out the issue...

Odd. Although you can leave a review directly through iTunes on a PC/Mac:

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/space-p ... 29579?mt=8

EDIT: Are you using a beta of iOS11? If so, you can't submit a review in the app store and will need to do it via iTunes. If that's not the case, try the following:

Tap "All Versions" to the right side under the screenshots. Then when it refreshes the screen - tap "Write a Review" under the Customer Reviews heading. That should work for you. Then the popup screen should appear and you can enter your password and type the review.

Not running iOS11 and hard tried all sorts of things to get the link in the app without joy.

Review now left via iTunes.

Space Pilot 2094 picks up a great review on AntyApps, a Polish mobile games review website. Well, I think it's a good review – it's in Polish and Google only manages a fairly broken English translation at best – but it appears to have been given 4/5 stars, which is not too shabby. :)
