Hey my friend! The letters refer to the powerups you pick up. C is Cannon L is laser W is wave M is Missile P is Pods You can have either C, L or W as main weapon and collecting multiples of C and W makes them more powerful. You can also have one set of Pods and up to 3 multiples of Missile for kick ass weapons And she says "Gyaku" which is Japanese for back - my little throwback to games like Streetfighter II "Haaaaadouken!"
And here is the Pause function in action plus I'm holding down for autofire https://instagram.com/p/BWGVCSgHiYY/
This is very exciting, looking forward to downloading and trying it out! Also excited to learn about Codea; I've been teaching myself programming by making games in PICO-8, which is also based on Lua, so Codea looks likes an excellent next step, if and when I want to make games without PICO-8's restrictions (though I'm loving those restrictions atm.) Thank you for this game, and the story of your gamemaking commute! --David
Your game iz like win i found out about PS1's Test Drive Off-Road 3. A Racer that i had to work at to get to the finish line while having fun exploring the tracks. The tapping of the accelerometer button to get up hills, recovering after hitting walls & track objects & jumping ramps helps me reminisce on that this too iz a heArtwork of someone who wanted to make something different wit adding more fun to the genre
Thank you so much! If you ever need any advice on Codea I'm happy to help. Also there's an amazing Dev forum as part of Codea over at Codea.io - click on discussion - so many cool coders and very helpful!!!
A Richard where you at Yo!? I have been working on this Boss going on two weeks now, HELP!######## I need some hints on destroying this behemoth Although alot iz working against Ensing Rook & Onalee i do believe once the Starceptre iz fully accepted by these two that their ship will reveal something special to help bend the odds in their favor
Hey my friend! Sorry just logged on as I submitted v1.1 to apple this morning. Waiting for approval now. Which boss are you stuck on? the First one?
###Yeaaaaaaaaaaaa### It'z okay, no need to feel sorry Buddy. I know you have been working hard. I juz thought you might have checked out the sums 4 changes on Twitter & Facebook. Act IV Boss
lol, that's my favourite boss of the whole game and in v1.1 he's slightly easier. Strategy is to look for the 'sweet spot' on the very edges when he moves over to one side, the spot when you find it means all the bullets flying around miss you. Start by taking out the double turret ends and then you can take down the missile modules. When he's in the middle Find the pattern between the middle canon shooting to strafe past him adding in hits. The more units you take down left and right of the main body the more damage the body takes and the less bullets flying around to hit you. Above all stay away from the walls as there's risk of gettting hit by the indestructible meteors. For weapons just keep topping up with energy bars and the best weapon to have is the pods as they let you hit outside the middle zone Good luck!!!
Great news!!! The new version of Starsceptre is out ! It has a pause button, autofire and a cinema mode!!! Time to start working on the on screen joystick controls - enjoy!!!

Here's some updates on virtual on screen joystick for Starsceptre: Here's the joystick in action (UI and icons to be designed): https://instagram.com/p/BXwSe4QH_2S/ And also you'll be able to switch between the two control types at any time during gameplay by hitting pause: https://instagram.com/p/BXzyn7KHOYV/ Just working on beta tonight
By the power of the sceptre it is very smart to have made the game compatible with lower IOS versions. You got a new client! Thanks.
So in the very next version on screen joystick has been added so you can choose between tilt or touch! Coming very soon!
Hi, that will be coming in the very next version. You'll be able to choose to use tilt or use on screen stick!
