What size is good for a side scrolling shooter similar to Kraken for the iPod? And what if i was to make one for the iPad, whats a good size?

    One consideration is how fast your game is - i.e. how quickly an enemy moves when they're on-screen.

    It's certainly tempting to have large player ships, but the player has to have time to react to the action too.

    The ship in Kraken is 24x24 - smaller than I'd usually like because I wanted to give the Kraken a sense of scale - of being huge.

    So really, it depends on the type of game you're making!

    Hope that helps,

    QS :D
