Kinesis: challenge! Create the best level to get 1000 free gold coins in game!

For those who always wanted to have the power of Telekinesis. Also for those people who don’t, and just want a new cool game to play.
Kinesis was the game I made for the Gdevelop Big Game Jam 7. It got rated 12th place out of 357 games. I have improved it a LOT since then (the game jam submission looks miserable compared to the present update) and worked on it a lot over the last few weeks. I think this is a reasonably finished version.
Please give it a go and let me know what you think!
I have also made a downloadable version available for only a dollar on itch.io.
Thanks,
Crowbar Coder

Hi @Crowbar_Coder!

I have a question about Games Jam: after the competition, do you receive remarks and comments on your game?

Well I have received comments on my game on gd.games if that’s what you mean, after the game jam. Not on itch.io.

Did you make a game for the game jam? How did it go?

No, never.
My objective is not competition but pleasure in creation.

Nice! that means you’re making games for the sake of making games!

Yes and there is a long time it’s like that.
And as we say in France! “Pour la beauté du geste”

I scored 250 - done in by the drones! I like it! - I played it the other week on gdgames too.
When I started - I skipped the tutorial and I couldn’t seem to do anything kenetic ,and so i restarted and it was fine.

Thanks! glad you enjoyed it. Hmm must be a small bug. Will try to fix that. Just try to beat my high score of 3000… and make it to the end! You might need to play it on a laptop to get to the end (if you’re in a phone).

Also a mobile version of the game was just updated yesterday. So now it’s easier to play on a phone. But still better to play on a PC.

My nice new touch controls. (Kinesis (MOBILE/PC) | Play on gd.games)

Gave it a try. I had played the game jam version too. Nice items in the shops. I still suck at this game but at least I could use my kinesis this time. I could probably get better with some practice, alas no time to really play games long enough to develop skill haha. Great game, very engaging and fun.

Thank you! I’m glad you liked my game. It takes practice, but I’ve made it to the end before!
What game did you submit for the Jam?

Nice update, tried it on my phone. Telekinesis controls kinda clash with the mobile game pad though.

Yeah I worked a lot on the touch controls. You keep one finger on the movement joystick and the other for telekinesis.

I didn’t make any game for this Jam.

After many hours of hard work, there is now a FIREBASE powered account system. So you enter your username and password, and it creates an account that stores your game information under it. So you can basically log in on any device and keep playing, and your highscore+money+name+items bought will be saved on a server and loaded, provided you remember your password!

Hi @Crowbar_Coder - how did you get on with firebase? did you see my post t’other day? for me the leaderboard doesn’t sort highest to lowest when you get it from firebase (just latest to oldest) and so im downloading it into an array and sorting it locally. Which feels a bit clunky.

i think there needs to be a fresh firebase tutorial on you tube that’s about half an hour long but clearly covers everything. so you have used a password - so that you can use multiple devices? i used the generated uid - i suppose i could give them the option to change it for a password so they can log in elsewhere

Yeah it was very tricky. I mostly used LevelupwithAlex’s tutorials on YouTube and yeah the password is a variable that is saved to the database and loaded in when you press start. If the username and password matches the one in the database then you are let in and you get all your saved data on any device!
It’s a very useful tool, Firebase. I haven’t used it for leader boards though. Just used Gdevelop’s default leaderboards.

Yep I just read your other post and replied to you there. Just don’t really have a good answer at all.
