LSD

Game Information:

A casual physics based arcade game where you fire the character around, avoiding the obstacles, to hit and destroy all the black platforms in order to beat the level. This is a port of the original game idea (which was written in Lua by a friend) but this one is written in Java using the awesome libGDX framework.

Original Game: [https://github.com/paranoiax/LSD] (https://github.com/paranoiax/LSD)

Running the current game:

It can compile to the following platforms:

  • Desktop (requires Java 1.6+ and OpenGL 3+) Tested current version
  • Mobile (iOS / Android) Tested (only android)
  • HTML5 (any modern browser, Internet Explorer requires Google Chrome Frame) Tested (Box2D error cropping up for now)

A compiled (but not regularly updated) HTML5 version is at: [basimkhajwal.freeoda.com] (http://basimkhajwal.freeoda.com)

They should all work but only desktop and HTML5 builds have currently been tested. For the latest version, download this repository and run the gradle-based projects on your computer -- more here.

Development:

TODO:

  • Improve menu/title colours and design
  • Improve the graphics for the laser
  • Improve the pause menu
  • Improve level select and pack select (make them look nicer)
  • Add smooth transitions between screens
  • Add a loading screen with delayed / asynchronous resource management
  • Change GUI scale so it feels more comfortable on a smaller device
  • Write Android specific code to run ads
  • Add the ability to gain stars over a time period (day streaks)
  • Add ability to buy more stars (Android only again)
