[GAME][3.0+] Peppy's Adventure

lionelanton · Apr 26, 2014

Hi all!

Peppy's Adventure is an action puzzle adventure game that I developed on my free time during the last 4 months. I really designed the game like the game I always wanted to play on my phone and tablet.
It's also my first game and as I am currently looking for feedback on every aspect of the game (game design, level design, gameplay, etc.) from as many people as possible, it's completely free.
Please give it a try and comment. Many thanks in advance.

Lionel

Now this is my kind of game!
good work

Thanks

The hardest choice I had to make was the way to control the character (Peppy). I finally choose to do it with double (redundant) D-Pad controllers, what do you think about it ?

i personally like it
it makes for faster runs when you get the hang of it
only problem i had with the game was finding the sound options lol
took me a minute or two to realise there was a > button

Ok, I'm writing "make the options buttons > and < larger" in my TODO file ^^

I'm also thinking about posting walkthrough videos because I have been told that the game is a little too much difficult sometimes (it's something hard to notice when you are the developer I guess).

Yeah some hints would be nice

You're right, hints might be better than a complete walkthrough. I will think about how to do that the best way.. if you have an idea I'm also interested

Don't hesitate to tell me if there is a level you think is too difficult (or too easy)

Cant quite figure out expert level 6

spoiler:

you need to eat the waterlily flower which is at the bottom left first, and the one above it last

Thanks! that was way easier than i imagined

You're welcome

I just updated the game:
- removed all permissions needed
- added FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON to keep the device's screen on while the game is active

I will deal with the (<) and (>) buttons in the options tomorrow
Still thinking about a way to integrate hints in the game (maybe where to start and finish but this is not applicable to all levels because there many ways to finish) and also when should the game propose the hints (when the user is stuck on a level for one day for example?)

Hints should be available after a number of failed attempts i think
not sure how to propose the hints as you say

gonna update now!

just thought of a way

draw the path in the level (the path you intended)
not all the way though but just a little to get people started

I agree on the number of failed attempts but not sure about drawing the path (even the beginning of it) it might be tricky because time is also in the equation, on some levels foxes need to be at the right location at the right time. Maybe some checkpoints which fade out with time or something like that could be a way to show path and time

Anyway thank you for the suggestion, it helps me think

Did you manage to reach the second world (with the snow and ice) ?

lionelanton · May 1, 2014

I'm wondering if I should add some sort of facebook, twitter or google+ integration (even if this is the kind of things I never use in games)
what's your opinion ?

lionelanton · May 3, 2014

Thank you guys!
I'm currently working on optimizing the game for slower devices. Did anyone experimented low frame rates on their phone/tablet ? if so what is your device ? thanks

lionelanton · May 12, 2014

Hey guys

I just added 45 new levels
- 30 in an adventure designed for beginners
- 15 in another adventure for hardcore gamers

lionelanton · May 15, 2014

I uploaded walkthrough videos , they will be accessible from the game pause menu when you try at least 10 times to pass a level without success.
Be sure to update when the next version is up on Google play in the next hours
