I’d like to know more about what you did in garage band. Seems simple enough to make a few cool music pieces. I have been using famitracker to make chiptunes, and it’s rather difficult.
Honestly, I just chose the Arcade Synth and played some single notes. The instrument did all the work. I was under the gun and needed to get it done in like 10 minutes. 
I don’t have garage band, so is that free when you buy it? I’m not sure if gb has iaps or not… Thanks!
Thanks! I’m already scheming on all the cool stuff I can add. Just need to finish up our current project. 
I think it was $4.99 on the appstore (ipad version). The synth is one of the provided instruments. Didn’t see any iaps in there. But I really have only messed around with it for like 30 minutes.
It comes pre-installed on OSX though. Not sure if it has the same instruments, but I’m guessing yes. I mainly got the ipad version so I could record myself attempting to play guitar.
Cool, it may be easier to have it on the device too. Then I can use it other places as well :-). Plus you get multi touch capabilities on the device vs on a mac
This looks really fun, definitely continue with this!
Very Cool!
How did you get the cool tail effects and the cool “attach effects”? I’m sure I could look at the code, but the “high level” design would work too.
Impressive!
For the tail I just create circles along previous position points then fade them out and scale them down with transition.to
The hits are just another circle at the point of impact.
Here’s a slightly longer gameplay video.
I figured it was some type of “particle effect”.
Sweet new game play video!
I’ve decided not to make the source available to the public because we’re planning on releasing this on the appstore.
But… if you want to play the game and check out what I did, hit me up. I’ll email you the source. Just please use it for academic purposes only, or else baaad karma!

Looks like a fun game…
You should definitely continue on the idea…
Best Of Luck…
