So, at long last my first Monkey X project is released! Spandex Force: Champion Rising is a tongue in cheek superhero puzzle RPG featuring puzzle battles against crooks and villains.

Check out the trailer here:

It's available for Windows and Android to begin with; Mac and iOS to come later.

Try it out! I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Congratulations!
Not my type of game tbh, but just installing it on my Android device to test it!


Karja(Posted 2014) [#3]
Thanks a lot! And every eyeball on the game is much appreciated, even if it's not their favorite type of game - I just hope that no one discovers a serious bug... :)

It plays pretty well on my Nexus7 (1st gen).

A few things:
* The music in the trailer is a bit odd until the "bad guys" are shown
* The movement of the "orbs" when failing sometimes feels wrong, or they slightly go out of the cell and springs back
* It did crash on me once, but I can't reproduce it now - I hit the Android back button and I had the "Sorry .... has stopped working"


Karja(Posted 2014) [#5]
Thanks, I'll definitely note those things (and see what can be done about it). The music... Well, I guess I could make an improved trailer overall :)

I'll have to look into the orb dropping. I guess the Nexus is a slightly slower device than I've been testing with, so the orbs move too far when updating (due to elapsed time since last update).

And thanks for the crash notice! I just uploaded a version that tries to fix an issue where the MonkeyStore could not be opened. Previously it threw an error but now it silently retries.

Hi
no crashes while playing.
Some things:
- (maybe) a tutorial to know what 'icon-orb' you need to collect to defeat your (first) enemy will be useful!
- you can personalize your avatar (at the start): but the avatar on the map is not personalized (I choose the lady with dark hairs, while in the map the lady is blondie...) (not a serious bug...)

ps: tested on a MTK6589 china-phone... it works without any delay or everything else

It's pretty good,
The game doesnt tell you what the stars do in combat, it tells you how many starts you have collected on the left though.
Do the question marks do anything?

Does the character need to sleep or is there a time limit?


Karja(Posted 2014) [#8]
Good points... I missed having some sort of tutorial for the reputation stars! And yes, the same for the question marks (clues)...

The character actually doesn't need to sleep, and there's a time limit on one month until you reach one ending or another in the game. The thought was to make the player re-try with another hero if he plays for 30 in-game days!

Indeed I am! It's been really nice to see the Desura sales rise like that :D
