Piron Games Insider

Update: Loose Cannon Physics has been released. You may play it here.

It’s Loose Cannon, my latest physics puzzle (phuzzle!)  game. Developed during the summer months, it features 30 crazy levels where you can fire the cannon, shoot the musket and jump, plus a level editor to make&share your own puzzles.  Of course, it was coded in HaXe and uses the Box2D physics engine

At the moment, the game is up for bidding on FlashGameLicence, but there isn’t much interest from sponsoring portals for this one. Most likely it will probably be released at the end of October under (my own) Piron Games branding.

Until then, a small teaser, below.

Asteroids spinoff made in ActionScript3 using the Flixel framework and the FlashDevelop IDE. Coming to think of, it’s the first time I use any of those Done in 2 days, showing off the coding “mad skillz” to some guys.

In short, Flixel is cool for quick prototyping, ActionScript sucks (:p), FlashDevelop is very good and useful. While you may expect a step-by-step Flixel tutorial, I don’t have the time to write it.  Even if the coding style is a bit all over the place, I bet you are a smart developer, so you should figure it out. Or simply ask below

Grab the sources from SourceForge. The sources are released under ZLib License, in short, do whatever you feel like with them.

Some of the graphics were done by me (asteroid, bullets, the teleport fx and the explosion fx), so use them freely.  The rest are from all over, I can’t remember the exact authors, most likely they are from Pixel Joint.  Use with care and respect toward their work (that is, replace them with yours).

Sounds were made using the excellent sfxr.

Visit the project page at SourceForge.

And play the game. Just below. Three ships to choose from, each with different powers, use arrow keys to move, Z to fire, X to fire the power (when it’s loaded). Backspace to quit from game to select screen.
