Go Team Yeah is a work in progress.

Two teams go head-to-head in a platform arena. Jump on enemies to kill them and force them to drop an energy ball. Grab it and throw it into the top of your TeamMachine to make a Bomb or Powerup! Throw enough bombs into your enemies Team Machine and it will explode, ending the round.

- 1 - 4 players
- A large cast of characters to play as
- as many power ups as I can think of...

Great project Wilf, everything about this is very good from the gfx to the action in the game. Did you use tier 1 or 2 and did you use physics engine or code it?

Style is awesome

Cheers! It's using Tier 1, built-in physics and particle commands. I use Inkscape for the graphics and Spine for the animations.

Looking good!

Are you doing online multiplayer or couch only? Got any AI?

Thanks all! I reworked the spawn animation/particles as players will see that the most...



No online multiplayer, strictly couch. I have been thinking of adding a single player survival mode against very basic AI, which could then expand to team-based coop later.

Hmm a David Bowie sprite, from which era though? I'd probably go Goblin-King Labyrinth..

Just an advice. When releasing a multi-player game on PC it is best to allow the users to play over Internet in some way. Couch play isn't very common. BTW, then you can sell multiple copies

Cheers! I have been super busy for the last couple of weeks working on marketing - new website and youtube trailer. I did enhance a couple of the power-ups with the awesome Tween commands though. Here's the Giant Potion:

Thanks Chris. April update!
Animated level objects, they work well with the parallax system:



Added Tween chains to animations so emphasise squash and stretch. Also added more animations like teetering on the edge of platforms, falling and better death animations.



And finally a new game mode - Survival. Can be played by one player - stop your Machine being destroyed by enemy robots.

Let us know how steam goes, I'd be interested to hear your experience as Steam is the route I want to go for my game too. Are you building in any steam awards? I've not looked into steam features much yet as I've got a way to go yet on basic development!!

Menu flow completed. Those carousels caused me a lot of headaches, being deeply linked to the internal shop.


I made the system generic enough to be re-used on the Gamepad app for character selection:

Nice trailer. It has that intrigue that makes me want to play the game. I can see that the game has elements that I haven't seen before. Yes, the mechanics are the same as other games, but the effects are unique and it shows in the vid.

Downloaded...but how do I start a 1-player game?

The Android pad is good. I expected to have to keep looking down at it. But although I only got as far as the menu, the controlller was simple to use.

Thanks for testing Batvink, no 1-player game yet. That'll come when I switch on Survival mode or finish bots.

OK, I will play against my children and destroy their self-confidence by beating them at it. It's all character building.

Hi Wilf,

really well done on this project!
I have just obtained Go Team Yeah on the Amazon FireStick and given you a 5 star review

This is the first game I have installed on the FireStick and this is what I thought:

On searching the game, the icon looks nice and clear.
All the information before installing again is clear and very slick, even the animation clip you have on there to introduce the game before installing. Looks great on a big TV.
When starting the game everything works well on the little Amazon FireStick with no slowdown that I can see.
The menus work well and overall the graphics style and presentation is very good.

You have done a good job with the controls as it is easy to play with one hand holding the little remote and just using your thumb to play!
Superb! Well done and I hope you do really well with this.

Great example of a game on the FireStick and shows how well an app can play on the TV! Much better than a tablet or phone app!

All I can say is that everyone who has a FireStick should download this, not only to have fun with it but to also see how to create a great, well polished game on something other than a mobile device!


I imagine you should do well with this, especially thinking about how many FireSticks are in circulation in the country! Makes you think that it might be a better option than Google and Apple stores.
The Amazon FireStick is overlooked with AppGameKit users but it definitely has me thinking about releasing apps on there now.

Good luck!!!!

Thank you very much SpecTre, that means a lot to me! Yes I do think set-top boxes like the Firestick could be a nice niche for developers like us. The thought of competing in the smartphone market makes me uncomfortable, having worked on games with multi-million dollar budgets in that space that did absolutely nothing sales-wise. Hell, my old company (DNA/ngmoco) pulled out of the West completely last month as competition was so difficult.

I've had a relationship with Amazon since the summer and they are going to merchanise GTY on the Amazon App store so hopefully the discovery issue might be mitigated by that.

Performance is really tight on that hardware but optimisation lets you really learn your code. I'm just glad TGC implemented Amazon IAP with 2.21

Congrats! I just hooked up the latest Fire TV yesterday and your game is one of the top 9 showcased games for it I downloaded it but am waiting until I have an actual controller synced to play much with it. That said, I notice you also support the regular Fire Remote. Do you have a mapping of keycodes that each of the remote buttons correspond to (and additionally the Joystick buttons)? I haven't done anything with the Fire TV yet just got it configured and saw your game, but am interested in the prospect of porting some apps to it down the road. Does Fire TV support Amazon Underground, or do you figure IAP is the better route to go?

Hey xCept, thanks. Good to hear it's being showcased, I'm on Amazon Germany so don't get to see that. Are you in the US? If you have a smartphone you could download my GoPAD controller app to play with it.
The Fire Remote maps directly to the keyboard. Directional controls map to the arrowkeys (keycodes 37-40), the big selection button maps to Return (keycode 13) and the back button maps to Escape (keycode 27). Home quits the app like any other android app and the Options button doesn't do anything.

It does support Amazon Underground but you need to compile the classes.dex file for AppGameKit with your own app name. Its complicated and involves Android Studio, ultimately I went with IAP. Might change that in the future though.

Hi Wiilf, how is your game doing on the Amazon Fiestick, I am really quite interested in this and fancy doing some apps on this format as it seems to have a lot of potential and a great user base.
It seems to be able to handle AppGameKit quite well as your game works very smoothly on it.

That would be cool. Maybe if you have the time also a few lines on publishing to the Firestick. Is it the same as putting an app on the Amazon store?

It's been far too long (sorry SpecTre) but here finally is some info:

Fire TV Downloads:

Nothing too spectacular, the launch clearly benefited from being featured by Amazon. The problem is getting visibility on that - its hard to see what the US store looks like when your device is in Germany. I was expecting more downloads on/post Dec 25th as I thought the FireTV would be a good stocking-filler gift. Doesn't appear to be the case until Jan 1st; the last update I made to the game was Dec 22nd

IAP Sales:

Very low sales of the IAP "Unlock the full game" - 0.0137% conversion rate. There are many possible reasons for this - game quality, amount of content post unlock not worth it, super casual market that don't spend on that platform. Between the two releases I did check the telemetry to find out how far people got through the funnel from starting the game to playing one level. The vast majority of people who download play once and never return of course, while others logged hundreds of game sessions.

All in all I think the Amazon launch served a purpose - telemetry gathering. It's very hard to connect to those players though; the reviews/feedback system is a byzantine mess and of course no player follows up to questions the dev leaves to their comments. I think Amazon as a whole is a bit too opaque, from the featuring process to reviews.

Creating an .apk that works on the device is easy, once you figure out the IAP tester software. I never was able to get access to the root and therefore my device log though; more opacity.

Great stats Wilf and very interesting.

Over 16K of downloads in such a short time is pretty good the thing is trying to convert to paid.
Amazon Firestick is a very interesting area which I think needs further investigation into, well done on this.
