Kroniax available in the Play store!

[eXpl0it3r]

I have Android 2.3.4

Oh that's rather old, I don't even know if there's a backward compatibility limit.

The YouTube vid looks cool, nice music.

Yay! (I've made the video for AlexAUT quite some time ago).

I have Android 2.3.4 and nothing happens when I try to launch on my device. I was also wondering what Kroniax is a reference too (if there is one  )? The YouTube vid looks cool, nice music.

Today a friend will borrow me his phone with 2.3.7 installed, so I can investigate the root of this issue. I will keep you updated on the progress

The story behind the name "Kroniax":

(click to show/hide)

A long time ago I wrote some names down for levels in "Titan Quest" a Action-rpg with an amzing level/quest/script editor. And guess what on the list was "Kroniax". So last year when I started developing the game I thought about a name and found the very old list containing Kroniax. Then I googled the name, found nothing about that name and started using it 

Yeah the video was created by Exploiter, as he already mentioned, thanks again for it  .

If you die in the challenge mode you keep your time haha

Then you have the old version^^ Please update  I will deleted "cheated" times anyway.

Did you release two updates since you added the challenge mode?
Nevertheless I checked again, no update and it is still keeping the time after death...

[AlexAUT]

Yes 2hours after. 1.21 is the newest version. Strange that you see the update, maybe you have to close the appstore... My friends already got the update.

Full list of new features:

*Added Challenge mode! In this mode you will repeatedly play one level until you crash. To make things more interesting the game will get faster and faster. At the end you can upload your time into an online highscore and compare your skills with all the others!
*Due to the online highscore the app now need access to the internet (Permission)
*Added a crash counter per level in the arcade mode.
*Now the music should change when you play multiple levels without leaving the game.
*Improved performance
*Now the game should not crash when you try to reopen it after you closed it in the menu
*Now the game should not crash when you lock your phone and wake it again
*Now the game should not crash when it gets into the background and you try to reopen it.
*Level 14 should no longer be visible in the menu

I hope you will enjoy this update and see you in the highscore!  I will appreciate your constructive comments and feedback. Thank you!

Got the update(s) this afternoon.
I like that all levels are not open by default but that you have to complete prior levels to unlock them.
I can still get stuck in a "death loop" on checkpoints   maybe you should start players from the middle of the checkpoint always and flying straight.....?

This issue is now on the top of my list. it's difficult to say where the middle is. Because checkpoints are basically a vertical infinite line  But I know what you mean. I will try different solutions the nexts days...

[Jesper Juhl]

They may be an infinite line. But it's an infinite line that has a very specific line segment between a top and bottom obstacle that the player can hit. Placing the player at the middle of that line segment and horizontal compared to the general orientation of the level should do the trick (as I see it).

[AlexAUT]

Yeah, I will implement it tomorrow, thanks for the suggestion !

I compiled it on Ubuntu Linux no problems. Gameplay is fun - addicting. Audio sounds 'crackly' for some reason, but it doesn't really get in the way of the game. Nice work!

I do not support the PC/Linux/Mac version anymore. Currently I'm only developing the android version (Private source, I'm not using default SFML). When the android version has enough content(levels) and is stable enough (currently it's only working on JellyBeans and newer versions) I will grab the PC version again.

Audio sounds 'crackly' for some reason

The audio is crackly because the audio files aren't normalized. I will update the repo with the normalized files soon.

Gameplay is fun | Nice work!

Thanks, I'm glad you like it and don't forget to check out the android version

This game is AAAWEEESOME!!! The main problem is I can't sleep till haven't finish the latest level

I had some troubles with starting. My android device is too crap and linux version didn't get started till i've changed context version, but it's all the hardware problems.

And the first thought in my head after launch was: "Oh my God! This music is great!" 

Well, great job!!! 

[AlexAUT]

Thanks for your kind words 

But keep in mind that i haven't created the music, links are in the main post! I just found it  .


May I ask what was wrong with the context creation?

AlexAUT

But it's very hard even to just find the proper music

Well, about context. When I'm using 3.3 this happening:

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  156 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  34 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  77
  Current serial number in output stream:  76
 

After changing it to 2.0 everything is fine.
