Air Dash 1.0
Air Dash 1.0
Hi People, Air Dash is officially released!! Now it has leaderboards and 4 different colors for the plane.
So we really focused alot on the esthetics of the game. The game is different from what we planned, first we planned to make it the same game mechanics but level based. But because of the lack of knowledge in level design we ended up making it procedural generation. In the end making this simple game took us 4 months since we planned to do it. I've read lots of tutorials for javascript and alot of frameworks but never about game design, and of course that's really important when doing games. We've learned alot by this game and wanted also to give thanks for the great feedback we recieved on thread in showoff tier I that definitely helped us moving forward.
Well the game isn't 100% finished (it lack of sounds and music).
Game controls are the same as before:
W -> goes up
S -> goes down
Arrow keys are also available

Enjoy the flight

Re: Air Dash 1.0
hehehe very nice, I'm ranked 7 :PPPP
Where did you read about procedural generation? I would like to know more about it
EDIT: Some feedback about a glitch i think. When you lose, and hit play again, the Arrow keys stop working and the sounds overlap. It's a bit annoying after very tries
The game is very good for it's state.

Hi thanks vitinho for notifying the error, i've fixed it.
Well about the procedural generation levels, i'm not an expert but my take on it was controlling "random heights" on each column of a 2d array e.g.:
So all the 1 values are blocks and the 0 is an empty space.
making it always "passable" it's pretty hard, and I actually want to do a tutorial of how I did this for this game as this is an extensive subject.

[1,1,1],
[0,1,0],
[0,0,0]

Super fun! Played for about 15 minutes. Got rank #1!
Albeit a simple game, the graphics make it pretty cool, and the controls are nice and smooth. Great job =]
