Another one for my 'Block' collection lol... Block Tappy! is a fast paced reaction game, tap only the Blue blocks, do not let any slip away and do not tap any black blocks...

I will send to my family for testing, they are addicted to Piano Tiles, which is the same idea.

I'm liking your visual style, it is being slowly finetuned to perfection.

There were a couple of things I'd suggest...

1. Have a mode where you can switch off music but clicking the blocks makes a noise. I think this is needed to provide user feedback. (Piano tiles plays a tune as you click through the tiles)
2. I'm not convinced the game always registered a good tap. But maybe point 1 would help confirm this one.

Good idea... Will look for a decent sound for this.

I'm not convinced either to be honest, I've looked into this for quite some time. All I'm doing is checking for a SpriteHit with GetPointerPressed() and the X/Y location. I have a feeling, it may help if I had an additional touch event, as opposed to single touch... Will do some more experiments...

Thanks for the feedback, its appreciated...

I think you are doing the right thing for a fast game like this to get the Pressed action, rather than the Released action (which you would do for button presses).

GetPointerPressed() should be OK. GetPointerX/Y should be OK too. But maybe there is a situation where the user presses 2 blocks in the same frame. In this case you are only getting one of them. So maybe it needs GetRawTouchCount() and its siblings to capture everything.

I tried to get this yesterday, but was having connection issues.
Will try again tonight, and I'll be back for feedback...

I am still waiting for some kind of Block Mania game, where we get each of these as levels of a collective master block game edition.

This is exactly what I am thinking... I have made an update now which allows for multi touch. I think this has made a big difference to how responsive it is... Update available on Google Play.

Lol and Thanks!

Hmmmm... Now that is a good idea!! The question is... Do I have the stomach to merge all these apps, the thought of it alone makes me feel sick lol...


EDIT: Actually, I think I need to revisit the touch commands again As it is, the touch is maintained until you release, which kills you if you leave your finger on too long (as it hits the black block). What I really need, is GetRawTouchPressed() which doesn't exist... I know you tried to help me with this before BatVink, in another thread, but I just couldn't get my head around it... I'll have another play.

EDIT2: Scrap that... Figured something out... Plays much better now. Update on its way.

lol, I know what you mean, I have just been looking at my Paint Pot app and thought I would put a zoom option on there but when I realised I would have to change about 50% of my code it put me right off!
Maybe when I have had a break from it haha!

Looking at the update

I am still rubbish at this game but it is a great little app again.
Not sure now if the controls are a little too sensitive?

Not sure if it is something to do with it detecting if you keep your finger on the screen.

Eg: If you have a line of blocks, you can keep your finger on the screen and it will get rid of them instead of keep tapping but this has a down side that when the game speeds up it doesn't give you time to take your finger off the screen after pressing a block and then sometimes hits a black block by mistake.

Don't know if this makes sense??
Another great game though.

Definitely does make sense, and I think our posts may have crossed paths lol. If you take a look at my edits in my previous post, this is the same as what I am referring too. Was definitely an issue, which I have now resolved and uploaded... Update should be available in a couple hours. Thanks for the feedback as always

Well done you have it spot on!! Great.
Thumbs are going crazy, get in the 50's more often now and feels responsive.
Just right!
