Shotgun2k Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hey everyone, Firstly, I can't believe how many old faces are still around on here! Eevilmurray, Bob, Rezourceman, Nightwolf, Moogleviber, Retro / Fierce Link, Ashley and more...I'm pretty blown away. And yes I've been away, but with good reason. I've just released my own android game! Spent the last age working on it with 2 other friends, no prior game dev experience and even less of a clue how to get people to play it. I figure this has always been a great place to share stuff and so I'd love for any of you to play our game, Square Chainz. It's free on the play store here. The bulk of my effort went into composing the music & I'd really appreciate some feedback from you. If you happen to like it, you can get the soundtrack free this week here. Music aside, just seeing any of your names on the leaderboard would be pretty awesome. Cheers, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hey everyone, Firstly, I can't believe how many old faces are still around on here! Eevilmurray, Bob, Rezourceman, Nightwolf, Moogleviber, Retro / Fierce Link, Ashley and more...I'm pretty blown away. And yes I've been away, but with good reason. Mentioned first. Now I feel obliged to give that game a play. And welcome back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Mentioned second. Wondering if I've been confused for someone else... I'll check the game out after work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Welcome back, and nice going on the game. Shall give it a go myself later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun2k Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Bob is a term used to recognise all that is Bob. Thankfully I remember both of you! How on earth has it been in here? Seems as lively as ever, although I don't feel that I can quite go to the Nintendo fanboy lengths as I used to (e.g. trying to convince everyone that more people should play Waverace Blue Storm, or that Mario Sunshine images were fake right up to release).

There are quite a lot of people here who now dabble in the dark arts of other consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Wow, simple yet effective., 631 so far. It's a surprisingly awesome mind fuck! I'll pimp it round a bit for that :p (btw what's with power ups? didn't realise they'd carry over until I'd used a couple! It's possibly I didn't properly read the tutorial either though mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun2k Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Nice score Rummy! And wow, great to see you still around on here Thanks for your feedback! Do I have your permission to use "surprisingly awesome mind fuck" at some point? You're right, powerups are definitely something we need to make clearer. I think most people skip the tutorial which doesn't actually mention them. Pen highlights, Snail slows down, Clock adds more time, Autopilot wins for you :P Are you one of the names there on the leaderboard? We're giving away a Square Chainz poster each week to the top player... I'd love to give one to a fellow N-Europer. Surely there's enough gaming ability in here to obliterate the others? :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Just had a go and got 813. The hardest part was jumping right in again at the start of a new level...maybe a quick 3-2-1-GO to let you know the action has resumed? Enjoyed the simplicity of it, got a bit stressful when it started going super fast and panic clicking was my eventual downfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there's enough gaming ability in here to obliterate the others? :awesome: Haha, you sure can ! I didn't tie in with the leaderboards so I wouldn't be on there(probably will when I play again though). My issue with the powerups was that they didn't reset - like you start with 3 of each and it seemed that between games they'd stay 'used up'? So I didn't use them much. The tutorial essentially said 'give them a go!' then ended, then I saw I wasn't getting them back! So I hadn't been using them unless they turned up on the Squares, as it were. @Gizmo might even up being your poster winner anyhow! Not gotten back to my previous score, not even sure how I did it in the first place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun2k Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 @Gizmo: See what you mean about having a countdown. Would you want to see the board during this time to plan your next move? Glad I'm not the only one panic clicking. And hey you're 11th!! @Rummy: seems a few people were unclear on the powerups so we will take that on board for V2. As you've seen they're usable whenever they turn up, but you need to buy them from the shop if you want more than the 3 we give you! Would you make any changes to that? Perhaps earning them through in-game money as well as / instead of in-app-purchases? What did you guys think of the music? Last day to download the soundtrack if you're interested! http://www.squarechainz.com/freebies/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Hey, good to see you! I enjoyed it when I played it, but I played it right before bed and it was too intense for me! Good luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
