My compliments on a game that I still cannot put down.

I also wonder what happened to our AS3 “teacher”. I really enjoyed his/her teaching. I hope he/she will return one day and continue the teaching. I would like to learn how you handle sprite collisions, scoring, removing objects when hit by other objects, scrolling of backgrounds, taking/porting the game to IOS and Android etc, etc.

A tip for those of you that follows the tutorial to the teeth but got no response when clicking the “enemy” object, remember to look in your toolbar at the top of your development tool for the dropdown saying “Release”. It should be next to the blue triangle. That dropdown value should be “Debug”. You will only see the “trace” messages displaying in your “Output” window when that setting is “Debug” just before you “Build” or “Test/Run” your project.

When you sometimes download the project files and overwrites your project with his/her project files you will find that setting is set to “Release” and you need to set it back to “Debug”.

Happy Flashing.

I just beat all 3 challenges in Rymdkapsel. Amazing game!

Are you planning any new content for it? If so, are you thinking about adding an easy mode? A mode that would let players zone out for longer and build bigger cities without worrying too much about extreme alien onslaught until maybe even the 40th or 50th wave? 🙂

Thanks for the amazing game.

Rymdkapsel is one of the greatest games EVER made. It is a timeless classic up there with the likes of Populous, Total Annihilation, Cytron Masters. It is a game where you make a morning cup of hot coffee, and before you take a drink you fire up Rymkapsel, then when you do get around to taking your first drink of your hot morning coffee it is already cold.

There is only one thing I think could improve the game…. Sometimes I REALLY need to build a room and not a corridor so I tap on the room. But instead of dragging the room to the desired position, I instinctively go over to the left corner where he shapes of the next pieces are displayed and tap there and drag from there. This defaults to a corridor which I didn’t want. This happens often. So I think it’d be a vast improvement if the game would not let you lose your desired room selection if you accidentally tap on the upper right corner shapes. Maybe disable tap recognition there, or beep at you with some kind of warning…

Anyway. This is the first game I’ve played for more than an hour in more than twenty years, Well done! You’ll go down in game development history!
