flash games for mobile devices
It’s been almost a week, but I’ve been waiting for all the alpha testers to try out the game and give me any form of suggestions and/or comments. So now that the wait is over, I decided to sort out all the similar suggestions and comments and show it all to you.
Today the alpha testers received (or should have received) the latest version of the tower defense game. I know it says v5 on the screen, but it really is v.08 :]
There’s been a few improvements over the game.
If you are an alpha tester, please e-mail me your input!
Thanks,
Santoki
EDIT: oops, I did forget to mention that this is the “hardest” mode available. I set it as default, because I was just that good The beta release will have the easier option. :] – haha.
A short post, but I just wanted to let you all know that the alpha testing positions are coming to a close very soon! Everyone that has applied up until this moment is confirmed. If you would like to apply, but haven’t as of yet, your chances are closing up. There’s only a few open spots left.
To the alpha testers, the testing will commence sometime this week.
The alpha testing will mainly consist of weighing the ratios: the cost and rate of towers, the enemy and other balancing issues.
If you are reading this post right now (to be taken down as soon as people fill up [20] spots), it means you are eligible for alpha testing Tower Defense v0.3!
If you would like to be one of the first to play this game please follow the rules below.
Good Luck!
If you’ve missed the chance, or was one away from the alpha list, don’t worry the game itself will be released very shortly as a beta.

Believe it or not, but this Tower Defense project has been on steroids and has just passed v.02! Many things have been added such as: 4 unique towers, updated interface, remodeled icons, and a redesign in code to optimize performance!
I was able to add several towers without compromising much on game lag! This is good news.
At the pace I’m currently going, I expect the alpha to be very soon when a level can be considered “finished.”
Here are some screen shots of the game as of now: (ignore the v0.1, it’s really v0.2)
The blast tower in action. Get that mob before it leaves the screen!
The 4 unique towers ready to stomp any mob! To the left you can see the information box regarding the slow tower.
The icons under the menu are as follows:
blue button: upgrade tower
red button: sell tower
I’m already enjoying this game.

As mentioned before in my previous post, I have decided to make another game for the s9 to side along with Flight S9 – a tower defense for the s9! The game is still very far from completion in fact, I’m far from it. However, I just wanted to give a little update on the Tower Defense game currently in the works.
There were a few things I had to note before I started making this game.
The s9 is not a super computer. The s9 can not handle the FPS our computers can handle when creating more than 5+ objects running around the screen. This was a serious problem for the game as I tried to add more and more towers and as the “mobs” began to trod on the route. As a result, towers may lose their rotating barrels and the number of towers and mobs may be limited for better performance.
The screen size limitation. Since the s9 has a relatively small form factor, it was difficult in designating a field and a description box for a game like tower defense which requires a relatively large space.
Nevertheless, the game is on the works despite these limitations. So far, it seems to be ok, but I will be assigning a few alpha testers in the near future to test out the gameplay.

Flight is still being upgraded, I made a password section for those who have beaten the game from the last update. there will also be a shop in which you can purchase some goodies: more life, weapons, etc.
Nevertheless, I feel there should be another game working side-by-side to Flight.
I’ve been left with these options, feel free to comment on a new idea or agreeing with one of them:
Much like the iconic street fighter game, this game will require combos and skills to beat your opponent.
Movement: G-Sensor (Left/Right) (Up – Jump) (Down – Crouch)
Attacks: Pressing on-screen button and/or buttons on the right of the s9
Following popular card games like Magic the Gathering, Pokemon and Yugioh, I imagine it would be fun to play something similar on the s9.
Movement: On screen drag and drop of cards.
Actions: Pressing on-screen button and/or buttons on the right of the s9
Like a tower defense game, the play will setup turrets and other defence mechanisms to fend off the opponents raid.
Movement: On screen drag and drop of turrets.
Actions: Pressing on-screen button and/or buttons on the right of the s9
Let me know what game interests you the most!
I’ve been AWOL for a month due to a flu earlier this month and in response, I decided to have an extended vacation – which explains the missing updates and posts. I’ll be posting on a much more regular basis now that I’m able to work on “the desk.”
So what’s the plan?
I’ve been working on a few game ideas and some flourished while others diminished. Here are some sneak peak screens of the ideas that may or may not appear depending on the progress (in no order).
I know I haven’t uploaded an update for Flight for a while and although I can’t promise a weekly update, I’ll definitely add more levels. Some of the problems behind Flight right now is that I seem to have run into a bug that is only specific to the S9 (either memory and/or other internally related bug). For this reason, I have a hard time updating the game. I might have to lower the Frame rate, enemy AI, and /or the hero to accommodate to these weird issues.
At any case, I’ll be back to post some more – just wanted to say I’m still alive.

After several days of intensive programming and a total redesign of the game, I’m proud to present to you Flight v1.1! While there are still a considerable number of bugs still waiting to be discovered and balance issues, it’s very playable and has a boss level to reckon with.
I’ve taken into considerations to some of the complaints that the game was to bland, and would be fine with slight lag. I’ve tolerated some of the lag that will arise and in return have made it more playable.
Although you can view the changes in detail in the readme.txt (included in the zip), here are some major changes:
I know there has been an issue for the hero not having more than one life, I will consider this option. For the mean time ~ GG

Flight in action
After a few days more than expected due to personal reasons, I’m glad to bring forth another update. This update however, may seem like a step down for some due to the changes that have been made/removed.
A few things to note:
The Hyperdrive powerup has been removed for the time being, because it had some weird effect on disabling the highscore (to be fixed later on). The random AI ship summoning is now replaced with fixed spawn locations for a more classical 2d shooter experience.
To fight the lag issue, I’ve capped the FPS on flight with a 25fps from the high 30fps. Another change is the 2 blaster limit. This limit will prevent from non-stop blasting, lagging the game, and more strategic runs.
As always, please leave any comments, criticisms, and bug reports.
