Shield Game Update! Now with more Control(s)!

| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks

Ok, here is the (last!) update for the day.

I've added in a "control strip", for people with trackpads. I don't know if this will make it easier, its kind of an experiment.

I've also added keyboard control. Make sure you click someplace in the SWF, then you can use the 1, 2 and 3 keys to control the shields. The keyboard interaction is still buggy, i know. Its just there for testing.

One good thing to come out of this experimentation, is that there is an easy way to "win" or at least put off loosing for a long time. Just flick the mouse across the 3 colour bars in the control strip, or press the 3 keyboard keys in rapid succession. This will pretty-much catch all the shots.

Some solutions to this tactic is to make the shields "activate" only after a period of time is spent on them - either via having the mouse on the shield/control strip or holding the key down for X amount of time.

Those will be things i try in the next update!

The game is, again, here.
