[S9/J3] Lava! 1.2.0

[chickenbellyfinn]

TheFloorIsLava! is now ready, and many changes have been made since v0.5

Download v1.2.0(latest)

Changes and notes:

v1.2.0 Major update!
- New Feature: The ball will now "roll" like a marble
- New Feature: Added new game mode "tunnel" (still a little laggy)
- Changed around some menus for new game mode
- removed calibration :
why: calibration causes the ball to jump around, which is no good in a game like Lava! that requires careful control. Until I find a away to calibrate the g-sensor without having it jump around it is better off not having it at all.
-fixed some little bugs



v1.1.5
- fixed issue that the g-sensor was not being calibrated at all
- the version label says "v1.1.4". my bad, but it is actually 1.1.5.

v1.1.4
-fixed that some levels were close to impossible to play

[note for this version] if the game starts on a random level and the g-sensor doesn't work, re-download the file.

v1.1.3
-Renamed the the game to just "Lava!"
-added a small version number to the mainmenu
-made the ball go faster (20% faster)

v1.1.2
- fixed J3 controls
-icons are included in download

v1.1
-Added credits screen
- added highscores screen, the game saves your highscore
-Darkened colors to make it less of a pain to your eyes
- added g-senor control fix for J3, it should automatically detect the device and correct the controls (thanks to Kizune)
- to pause you just press the screen, this should make it easier than having to tap a corner
- You can now retry a level 2 times (so 3 lives total)
-added coins : touch coins to get 1 piont, but they are not needed to advance to the next level
-added a bunch of new levels.
-G-sensor jitter fix : The ball should no longer jitter around becuase of the g-sensor's outlying readings. It works very well on the the S9, not tested on the J3.

Please give me feedback on the game and bugs, ect if you find any.

Instructions to install as a Lynx icon
1. Download the zip and extract it somewhere on your computer.
2. Copy lava.png and lava__l.png to System/Flash UI/Lynx/custom icons on your S9/J3
3. Then open System/Flash UI/Lynx/custom_icons.xml in a simple text editor, like notepad
4. Add the following line in between the <icon> and </icon> tags

<icon name="lava" type="Flash" file="Lava.swf" />

5. Go back to the files you downloaded, and copy Lava.swf into Flash/ on your S9/J3
6. The icon will now be available in Lynx
7. To update the game, download the latest version and just overwrite Flash/Lava.swf on your S9/J3



I'm still taking level designs!
If you think of a good idea for a level, describe it to me in a P.M. or make an example image, and I will try to include the level in future versions of the game. you also will be noted in the credits screen.

s9 style reversed controls on my j3 still, at least horizontally (vertically in the game), but glad your considering the option,,,looks good

also if you could allow the ball to move maybe 30-40% off the edge without dying it would feel more like a ball than a circle.

good catch. Updated and should be fixed. However, I can't allow the player to go partly into tha lava for multiple reasons.
1.) It makes the game too easy
2.) There is no reasonable way to do it.

Gonna try it tomorrow, looks like you made some good improvements.

Just played it for a few levels and the moving objects are pretty awesome tbh! This is by far the most adictive game on the j3 yet. Doesn´t have much time now but will play more this evening, can´t wait to reach level 14

edit: Played some more but can't get past the second level with moving objects, They are going to fast

Great work! I have a suggestion though: In the interest of more levels, you could create a time limit on each (the less time you do it in, the more points, and if you can't complete it in the allotted amount, you lose a life). Also, I found a bug: the volume can't be adjusted while the game is being played! Again, great game and keep up the good work!

The volume???? There isnt supposed to be sound at all!!!

Perhaps he uses a J3. It has the feature that you can listen to music while playing Flash games.

It is not problem of Lynx anymore. It is problem of mine, 'cause I didnt know about "Flash", not "Launcher" =)
