LAZZER Nice game you made here ^.^
It is scary how incredibly satisfying to murder all of the dudes. :D
awesome idea, love the smoke effects and art style in general, nice job!
Good use of lasers :D
Great concept. Love the gameplay. The Android version freezed up quite quickly on my Samsung Galaxy S3, after about 30 seconds of play.
This was really great fun while it lasted. Unfortunately my browser choked and died after five lasers. I noticed it was kind of slow and stuttery to start with, though.
Really, aside from that I have to give this some credit for having a great presentation.
@voidstar69, @recursive frog: after each laser is fired, there's a bunch of sprites that are created to draw the laser trails as it burns the ground and added do an overlay over the terrain. Hundreds of sprites can be created with that and of course after a while it starts making everything slow (even if they're just instances of the same texture). I have implemented a mechanism to flatten those sprites into a single texture after a number of them are spawned (and then removing the original sprites), so it'll save on performance and carry on creating as many trails as needed...
...but that fails in some situations (both desktop and Android versions). Something to do with the GPU mode/Stage3D version and the Context3D type possible. And I wasn't able to find a good solution for that in time so it's something that still exists. Sorry for that.
@zeh I just tried this game for the first time on my PC. It works great! Lots of fun killing those fleshlings!
