Thanks
I was between 27-17 on version 1, and 12-7 on version 2. This computer is a bit slow though. By the way that game is fun!
No big difference between version1 and version2. Both -> 24-26
Really enjoying the game, even though the concept isn't really refreshing.
There should be more "no clicking games"! Really like this serenity of underwater, bubbles and no clicking.
I like to suggest an evil bubble that gives reverse-mouse-movement in the real game.
Dont worry there is all of that, plus "score bonuses" "bad double speed" "good slow speed" double score and plus the real game gets faster and faster and more and more bubbles.
Can i ask how fast your CPU is? Just so i can advise people what sort of machine there gona need to play
Im running on 900mhz 256 ram and i got the same results as orkahm52 but im hoping it dosnt take much more to keep a consistant 25+. The school computers are 2.6ghz and keep an average FPS of 25+ with more bubbles than version 2. If need be i will lower the amount of particles on pop.
Thanks for your replys
The sticker on my computer says:
2600+ (1,91 Ghz) Amd Athlon XP 256MB
is that the info you were looking for?
Yup, thats exactly what i want *drools*.
actually, when I try to do my best at the second version it drops to fps17.
Oh ok, i think im going to have to drop the praticle count or make the particles dissapear defore they exit the stage :(
Thanks
Sorry, Gloo Pot, don't know what proccessing power this computer has. I'll get back to you.
This is off topic but i just to tell you how crap my comp is
I decided that to make my game as fast as possalbe so i deleted praticly everything ecept for a few var's and stuff and running flash like that had FPS of 30 (as it should) But for some reason just adding small thing to the stage made it drop 1 to 5 FPS. Now to prove how crappy my computer is, i had nothing any were on the stage but just a FPS meter so i moved my mouse as fast as i could made the FPS drop 5 :(. Oh wells i supose i wont get my game running at 25+ FPS then on my computer
Version 1:24-26
Version 2:Runs at 24+ but once I blow up a few bubbles it plummets to 13.
Nice concept by the way. Can I suggest that in the final game you have a nice easy listening music loop.
Edit: My comp spec is 1.4ghz, 256meg ram, 2mg broadband and I use IE.
25 on both... steady not moving.
Nice one
I'll sugest you launch the first ever flash game with ODORAMA technology, where we could scratch a lil card with different shampoo flavour to live the full experience.
22 here on both no matter what - dont throw the lil particules thats what really makes it - it's no race game anyway, you could do what you want it will always give a feeling of peace to the mind even if you name it "blood thirsty avengers bubbles"
p4 3.5 2K ram W2K flash 8
Im likeing the feed back from your guys, this will be my first completed game / second ever game :D. I droped the particle count down to 1 - 2 (Dont wory is still looks as good but less cluttered) per pop and on my machine it runns at 20-22on the version 1, so i think it should run 25+ on anything faster than 1.4ghz.
I have been rewting the code so its faster and smaller so its all going well. I have to do a major praticla designe project and i think i am able to use this game as it :D, All ill have to do is designe a mini manual and CD cover/box.
I will post another test version in a day or so, Maby if i work hard tonight or early tomora.
Well like i said "If i work hard enough you would get to see the next BETA test" and here it is.
Whats new!!!!
1) I made my own FPS counter :D:D:D
2) If the FPS are below 25 no particle are made on pop, i will on the final relese make it choose able to have max med or min particle while playing. (Sorry for people with a gay computer liek mine)
3) Start with 1 bubbles and it increaes by level.
4) 1 power up - its the big green bubble. It increaed the score gotten but popping normal bubble but 10%.
5) The speed of the bubble increaes with each level.
6) there are lots of thing to show score speed etc etc
7) a loose screen whcih tells you what your final score level and time
8) a metre to so how many bubbles you missed. If have missed 25% of them at the end of that current level you lose.
9) there is porably more but i forgot
Just to start you guys off this was my score.
Level = 14
score = 16918
time = 193
This time tell me about speed (if you went under 25 FPS) if you liked it, what do you think it needs etc etc. THanks peepz

PS: there is no loader on it but the file size is only 47kb so even on dial up it only takes 20 seconds or so.
What is that bar that apears in the right hand corner? The text that goes with it needs and int() around it.
Great game Gloo pot. 1st one was between 25-23 and the 2nd one started out at 26-23 and then dropped to between 13-15
Level 12
score 12101
time 176
where are my lil particules :confused:, I have hardly seen some...
I couldnt test. Freewebs is a restricted website.
Yea sorry about the minimum bubbles guys, at the moment you only get bubbles if the FPS is above 25 but this will change later. As for the bar to the side it tells you how many bubbles you have missed. At the end of the level if you have missed more than 25% you loose. (the bar will be full if you have missed 25% or more) This is just so the game has an ending for now, thats not how the final game is going to go. I cant test it on faster machines yet so the minimun bubbles is going to stay the same. Untill i can make shore having more bubbles wont slow the game down.
Well im going to go finish some more of it off.
I have done a little update, nothing to fancy.
I have made it so that particles apere if the FPS is abouve 20 now istead of 25. If i have particles being created with every pop on slow machines the speed drops dramatcily, I might even in the end have to make a frame by frame animation for slower computers. :(
I have tweeked the levels a bit so tell me what you thought
EG :
to many bubbles
no enough bubbles
to easy to hard.
As for the bar to the left, that is a metre that shows the percentage of how many bubbles you have missed for that level. If it get any higher than 20% the Number next to the bar will increase slowly, if that number reaches 100 you loose. Please comment on that as well.
Its the same address as before

I will hopfully have another update in about 5 hours, if not then proably not for 2 days.
PS: While im posting, I Need a tute on highscores. Thanks
Solid 24 fps.
Level: 8
Score: 5804
Time: 119
I like that, but the "bubbles gone by" meter could be a bit smaller.
(I know its not going to be in the completed version)
its a cool game, but its a little frustrating
it could be the whole atmoshere of the game
or simply the fact that the bubbles are so small
(i know it's meant to be hard) but if you could some how make it less frustrating, it'd be even cooler :)
Yea i know, i found it got fustrating as well, i had 4 different sized bubbles before and the smallest one was preaty small. I took it out because of that fact, Ill try experimenting with bigger bubbles so it might make it a little easyer/less agrovating. I was thinking i would make the big bubbles go faster and small one slower, I think that might fix that problem. But i saw on this doco that small bubbles float to the top faster because it has a smaller volume so it has less air to push threw the water were as big ones have more.
I was just wondering if any know's of a free good music loop to go with this game, i am hopless so please feal free to chuck idea's my way. (If there yours ill link to your site ETC ETC. But the key work in this is "free")
In the final version there might be some sort of a metre to show how many bubbles you have missed, I have decided that the idea of "if you miss lots of bubbles the counter gose up and if it gets to high you lose" will be in the final game. I Am thinking tho i might just have a text box show the percentage and a metre to show the counter. But this is a game for the people so the peoples decide. :PQuote:
