Comments for Last Square Standing

Yes ;)

Aye :). Right now, I'm testing out a new system to automatically find new comments instead of having to manually check every game every day to see if there is a new comment, so hopefully can soon do even more responses :)

Vsauce is a YouTube personality who gets hundreds of thousands of views in his "DONG" (Do Online Now Guys) series. I didn't know about him myself until a friend sent me a link to a video of his where he mentions this game. You can see my comment above for the link to the video if you want. Glad you enjoyed it :)

His video certainly has increase my views ;P.

There have been so many avoider games done, I'd actually be surprised if it didn't remind someone of something. In reality, the only inspiration I had for making the game was that it seemed simple to make (since this was my first game ever) :P.

lol :) I guess use the 0 to mute... but is it really that bad to move with the beat? :D

Actually, for me, it was reverse... never even heard of vSauce until a friend told me that my game was on his latest video ;).

Yep, still getting more views thanks to him ;)

Thanks :)

Of course ;)

It already has soared... was under 4k, now over 40k ;)

I'm glad you like it :). If you check my profile, you can find all 8 games I've made thus far (hoping to release the 9th on Friday). In fact, this game has a sequel, The Lonely Square (see link in game news). If you want to be notified when I make a new game, please just let me know, and I'll add you to my PM list :).

Yeah, I wonder if anyone can still find my comment on his video... it was one of the first ones (first few pages at least). ;)

Aye, unfortunately, the file was lost in a computer crash, so there isn't anything I can do about it. Various people have been able to do insanely well in mode 2. Just as an FYI, you don't have the full #1 best. ChronicDeath beats you out there. When I uploaded the game a while back, I thought the red/blue walls would make a big difference. After I realized that it didn't, I made the "overall best" ones, but the original scores did not carry over. He's the only one though.

Nice score! 2nd best of all time :).

Since vsauce, the number of views has shot up, from under 4k to now almost 40k!

Thanks for the 5 :). Don't forget the sequel ;)!

Thanks :)

Yep, in one day, my views in the game basically DOUBLED. It's pretty insane :). UPDATE: Now it's nearly 10x the amount beforehand ;).

I did that in the sequel, The Lonely Square, but with arrows as one and WASD as the other.

Thanks, just learned about that myself. Over a year later and my simple first game still gets some loving :).

Thanks for the 5! The expanded game, The Lonely Square, has a full story mode, shop, achievements, and even a user-creation tool!

I'm glad you enjoyed it :). Thanks for the 5!

Thanks for the idea, but I don't have an XBOX nor a license to submit games there... I also don't think it's convertible. I'm glad you enjoyed it though :)

EDIT: I do still check, just very occasionally, so PM is much better method.

Llama, TLS is indeed two-player compatible. Also, I don't know what is going on with the controls... they work for me... can you give me more details... I tried both WASD and arrows and both worked...

I agree that it no longer makes sense, but back in the original game (the original original), wall-hugging was the best way to get a highscore, so I put it in and haven't had the heart to take it out :P. Thanks for the 5 and favorite :)

This is actually my first Stencyl game and I wanted to update it over time but still keep the original feel. When I first programmed it, I didn't realize that I could make walls that simply keep you in bounds without killing you :P. Now you can use blue walls if desired (they don't kill you).

Thank you :)

Thank you :). It's best played when you get an entire room competing for top scores. We once did that and it was nonstop addiction for about an hour :D

Brooks, there is a two-player mode in my second game, The Lonely Square. I am planning to have all parts of my third game have the option of 2-player. Also, you may want to check out my tutorials on Stencyl if you are just getting started. I have two completed so far. The first is here: http://www.kongregate.com/games/Abigayl/stencyl-tutorial-first-game

Thanks, I'm glad you can see my effort. The trickiest part for the launching code was dealing with all of the conditionals (each spawn location needs to spawn in different directions).

Glad I'm not the only one who likes 3 the best, and yeah, it gets hard quickly ;).

lol, thanks for the 5! Agreed on the addictiveness ;).

:D. It's not the only one! Try to hit mode 1, mode 3, blue, red, and even the "game over" off ;) (AKA, they ALL can get hit just right to fall off the screen :P)

UPDATE: I attempted to fix the bugs. Please let me know if you see them again :)

Just wait until the full version comes out ;)

Thanks for the bug noting... I'll look into it. UPDATE: Bug fixed! :D (I hope)

Glad you liked it! I have lost some about an hour myself to it (for fun, not testing). It's definitely addictive :P. Thanks for the 4! BTW, MX just beat you out in every score ;)

Let me know what help you need. I can help with debugging/suggestions, but I don't write code for others (primarily because I use a lot of universal attributes which you can't copy).

Thanks :). I try to focus on the gameplay when designing. I figure the rest can sort itself out afterwards ;).

Aye, AS3 is the better way. What people don't realize is that you can use and learn AS3 in Stencyl. My games require additional codes not found native in Stencyl, so I have had to broaden into AS3 for parts. Still keeps the primary coding much faster though. It's a tool to be used, not to be depended upon (as I have seen many do).

Thanks, just used that to try to help a fellow developer who is using CS5. Since I did mine in Stencyl, that's all a bit too much dry coding for me ;) (in Stencyl, the majority of the code is done via drag-and-drop pieces that snap into place, a rather ingenious system IMO). Might be helpful once I get to the preloader and music. Thanks again :)

Not in the least. I made it totally from scratch. Actually, what is that "Avoider Game"... might get me some ideas for some last-minute tweaks in my expanded version.

lol :D

I'm glad you liked it :). For my expanded version, I tried to keep the simplicity while adding a lot of features. It's a tricky balance but I hope you will enjoy it too :)
