2Player Spaceship Air Hockey

Hey guys - this is my first complete game that I've posted on the forums, I made for the Pirate Kart V - it's called 2P S.A.H and it's a minimalist 2 player micro game, grab a mate and share a keyboard :)

This is great.. really nice style, good sound effects too.

couldn't do any proper playtesting though because I am alone.

This is really nitpicking but It bugged me that the solid blocks are aligned half way through the grid tiles

i'd set the blocks origin image point to a corner instead of central.. but meh, it looks cool regardless.

Thanks man! You know I quite like it center of the grid but I see what you mean.

Tonight I'm going to make a lot of changes, I've had some time to think about and test the game. I realized that the nice fancy font I was using at home is only visible on my PC so every other PC displays default font! So I have to fix that.

Other additions I'm going to make is to decrease the fire rate (as it's currently far to easy to kill each other) - and I'm also going to add two pick-up and deploy style power-ups which are rapid fire and a shield

for the fonts issue, there's a short manual entry on 'webfonts' somewhere

there aren't many pixelly looking webfonts though so you'll have to scour around for one you like.

by the way, is it deliberately very loose with the steering? I thought at first that you should increase the angular damping so it stops rotating sooner (i assume you're using the physics behaviour?) although come to think about it, 2player one keyboard games are less about serious competition and more about just fun.. and it would probably more amusing if it's harder to control. If that makes any sense :p

That's what I was thinking, but I think I took it too far - I'm in the process of doing a bugfix now which includes precise steering and adds high Elasticity.

I'll post up when I do the fix - oh I'm also adding powerups!

I have updated the game and I even made a trailer.

It looks great crudeMik,

with some nice graphics it could be very fun.
