Hey guys I just wanted some feedback on my level select screen, I'm working alone here so its hard to tell sometimes if I am on the right track or not. The game is called Zombie Aliens from Uranus... its something I started working on as a joke but has turned into a real game... Its going to be done in a Grind House style with a sense of humor. Its a Semi truck shooter.. so.. :P Thanks in advance for any input.

    so far looks awesome. Stands out well against the games I see so I think you are on the right track, well done.

    Neat graphics, great music track, really good work, I reckon. Love the title as well.

    In my opinion though, with each level band moving one after the other (in a predetermined order or random, I couldn't work out which) and gives it a slightly confusing aspect. You might get some users thinking they can only press the level that's animated. It'd look cool I think if there wasn't the jerkiness and they all moved together. Just my penny's worth...

    looks great,i wonder if you will have problems releasing with up uranus,but then again if apple let a game on the app store called suicide bomber then i shouldn't think it would be

    Gyroscope, I didn't really have a way to show it, but the level selection thing only moves when its selected. So all the levels will stay static until touched then touched again to start the level.

    I understand; excellent stuff. I look forward to seeing the gameplay! :-)

    I agree with gyroscope here, and I do think it's better if they are animated before its pressed, cause once you press you just want to move on to the game as quickly as possible, so no need for animation there really.

    Otherwise its cool :)

    You should probably make that just a little more clear so once they press the level the first time it moves as shown above and then a word "play" or "Drive" shows up to indicate that you need to press it again. Or something of that nature. Looks really good though

    clever. Well played.

    Thanks GR, I was thinking it needed something that said play.. I was going to darken out the other levels until you beat them... but still working on it...
  • AsymptoteellAsymptoteell Member Posts: 1,362
    Maybe make the one you clicked on bigger and the others smaller?
  • PixelPunPixelPun Member Posts: 324
    O god... lol, I originally had an idea to zoom out from the truck in the beginning of each level... but I couldn't figure out how to do it.... I'm pretty new at this stuff..

    How about a chunky white border for whichever one is chosen? Or a colour overlay set to .4/.5 Alpha, or both?
  • PixelPunPixelPun Member Posts: 324
    I'm going to test that out gyro...
