After a couple months of developing and teaching myself how to program. I’m glad to say my first game has finally been released! Everyone go check it out on Google play, and let me know what you think! Here’s the link to it… https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.earthlink.ndmcclard.cookie_crusher
Thank you to everyone that has answered some of my question, and for this amazing software!
Hey! Neat game! Whats funny is that these developers on one of my go to websites for ideas made a template called “Disappearing Dot” and its exactly like your game haha, Maybe you used the template?? But i have some suggestions for you on this game…
1- Add more modes?.. like 10 seconds and 20 and 30 and so on… or maybe just make it 10 seconds? Its just that it gets very boring to play in very little time because everytime you have to play for 30 seconds which does start to seem long after a little bit.
2- Everytime i close and open the app back up and start the game the the cookies are spawned in the same place… everytime… im guessing you hand picked all of the points the cookie is supposed to spawn? Use the “Disappearing Dot” template and itll show you how to math.random the whole thing, Trust me itll be way better!
3- I found a bug or two… So when you start the game and play one level and then press end game; to me it seems like the musics starts over lapping its self and it seems like its playing 4 tracks at the same time… and the other bug it that you logo that goes up and down is glitching… play one level and then press end game and youll see…
3- And last but not least id like to see the cookies maybe breacking when touched? like a sprite?

Good Luck!
First off thank you very much for trying out my game and giving me so much good advice! Honestly I had no clue about that template. I just thought it would be a fairly simple game to get myself off the ground with programming, and I put the pieces together using all the APIs/tutorials.
Different modes were going to be in the game, but I was having trouble getting the high scores not to glitch into each other. so I figured I’d add it in a later update. Changing the overall time to just 10 seconds is a very good idea that I somehow didn’t think of! Although if I did do that what would I need to do to reset there high score when they updated the game, so they don’t still have the high score of when it was 30 seconds?
Hmm the cookie starting in the Same spot is very strange, because I use math.random to set where it starts and the positions it moves too, but I’ll definitely work on getting all those bugs sorted out!
I’ve certainly thought about getting the cookie to kind of shatter when clicked to go along with the crunch sound. Although I don’t really have a clue on how to do it right now, and just wanted to get it released and all the bugs sorted out. Again thanks for all the advice you gave me!
Well if you need help with anything i can help or you could email the corona template website and they probably would help.
Btw I got your update and its really nice with that 10 second mode!! Now to add the crumbling effect!!
That’s great to hear! Yep trying to figure out all that goes into it lol…
All you need is a sprite and then play that sprite when you touch the cookie.
Ahh ok, thanks for the review!
Hey, remember the bug you with the fade in and out on your game logo?? Ya I had the same problem and here’s the solution…
