Ya sorry about that but ever since i joined game.dev i have used my cell phone for posting and the like , and i was low on battery . Anyway the idea is quite simple you have to control a person at the bottom of the screen and there are four clouds at the top of the screen and when the cloud flashes it strikes lightning . If your little man is struck he dies . There will be five levels each level the lightning strikes more often and to complete a level you must survive for 2 minutes .

I have a new idea . Instead of the clouds just flashing before the strike it will be more like a dance game with blocks coming down and when they hit the ground the lighting strikes . A beta will be up very soon and screen shots :) .g will also include birds in the game (it is a secret)

I present, Exhibit B :

How to win forever? the guy can run outside of screen space, not helpful :)

And finally. Exhibit C :

Right where the erd block is, on all colors, the blocks spawn and then disappear, they keep just vanishing, some make it, but A LOT just spawn and die right about where the red on is at the top...

Hope this helps

first of all thank you for the lightning fast reply (da dum tis)i have had all these problems before and it is only the very first beta (I did it in about 20 minutes last night ) i already have code done to fix these problems and the reason the blocks are not making it is because the cloud has accidently spawned two blocks on top of one another so i decide for them to get destroyed if that happens .my bad about the read me :) i was wondering more to the point of do you like the game play

its intriguing, though there isnt much gameplay. left right left right, there nothing going on really. the props are doing more then thae player, thats far from gameplay. though it can be a lot more
