Nother Week, another beta.

Not too much progress this week. Lots of playtesting though.

Some more UI tweaks and special effects and Particles (coin fountain based on amount you win)… however Photoshop crashed and I lost a revision of the UI buttons.. so technically this is a version behind.  But it now oficially detects running out of money.  Also removed a symbol from the lineup which should increase loosness of the game but still the payouts are… way too generous (ie you really have to work at loosing).

New buttons for “Cashing Out” and “powerups” are on-route, along with a Main Menu, Bonus Games and other goodies.

As always.. If you have an android device.. I’d love to hear any feedback.

Latest Barnyard Bonanza Test Version

[Edit:  Fixed the problem with downloads failing for android 2.2 users  (stoopid mime types an htaccess) ]

Very productive evening.  Fixed the basic timing on reel spin slippage so at the end of every spin things wind up in their proper place.  Lines now generate payouts properly 🙂

Looks like the odds need to be tweaked a bit.. more low paying  hits would be good,

Have an Android device?

Want to test something for me?

Android Deviations

Oops, meant to post last week’s Screenshot Saturday.

As pennance here’s 2 screenshots from the in progress Android game, that’s coming along nicely.

(yes Irismel is taking a little development break while I work on some of the mechanics in spreadsheet and paper form. The RTS elements weren’t working right. Now I’m leaning towards something a bit more Tower defensish)
