Rogue Runner - An endless run game gone rogue

I'll experiment with this. It might work after a certain number of points to just have a concentrated boss to fight, then get back to the running. But as I'm picturing it, as a separate mode, it works really well. So you can either run endlessly, or play a chase game that ends when you kill the enemy. I'll definitely try it out both ways and see what works best.

Of course! I am picturing the opening menu letting you pick your vehicle, pick your location, and then pick your game mode. So it'll all be mix and match. We were kind of jokingly discussing a Christmas theme for December where you are battling Santa Claus and elves. We might have to do that one too...

Campaign mode sounds like a great 3rd mode Maybe a Super Mario kind of thing, where they platform setup is predefined and gets harder as the levels progress?

About one more week to go!

That's awesome. You also just gave me another idea for a powerup: allowing you to call in airstrikes The Rogue Runner version of a smart bomb.

This is a great idea. In the update I'm working on right now, you pick up powerups by just jumping up and grabbing them. In Metal Slug, you liberated POWs and they gave you powerups for it. Maybe I'll try to work something like that in for the next update, at least for the biggest and best updates.

The plan is to add either a new vehicle, new powerup, new full location, or new game mode on each update. So there will be tons of variety soon.

As for music, I have it marked down for inclusion in 1.2, but again it has to be the right music. I'd rather have no music than bad music, for now.

 

Just got word that apps are taking around 8 days in review, so it looks like Rogue Runner might be out this weekend.

I'm racing to get the 1.1 update done in time!

 

Rogue Runner is out now. Continuing discussion in this thread!!!
