Holding Shift while pressing the left and right arrows while on the title screen will allow you to iterate through 5 levels at a time.

Nice!! Could do with some kind of level map or something, I reckon. I'd lazily do a bog-standard grid, but .. *shrugs*

I like the new darker palette, seems to suit it much better.

@Jay, I did some tweakage to some of the images a short while back. I still might sort out different title music though, I'm not happy with the current one and that's why I disabled it by default, click the music icon or press M and hear some GBH to the ear holes.

Due to recent events this game may take a while longer.

Take as long as you need to, and be glad you've no specific target to reach!

I don't know how I managed to do this in my current state of mind but I have managed to build in a swipe feature so now it works on Android.

It be great if a local app developer house offered me a job, the last job I was offered online years ago fell through coz the guy shut down. The dev project was called Glue Engine if I remember rightly and was being done in DarkBasic Pro.

I think the reason the project failed is because Unity and Unreal were suddenly the buzzword at the time and it would have been really hard to compete with those.

There no way I could do AAA stuff even if I was qualified, the stress and fatigue would kill me within a month I reckon.

Does anyone think this looks OK for a game settings screen?

The font looks a bit weird. The black filling. What I always do is look up references and try something similar. I noticed the appgamekit people were looking for a new programmer. The things you needed to have on your c.v was heavy though.

Yeah that background did look a bit dark. I've changed it to match the title screen.

I wanted a quirky text font to go with the game so I created that font that's in the screenshot for use throughout the game.

Cool. I like the little block style of the title. Any change you could do the top icons in a similar style? I think that'd blend together better.

The settings gear button seems to blend in so maybe I could style the other buttons in the same way. Cheers for the tip Jay.

Changed the colour scheme on the buttons and added black lines between the squares on the title to make i t stand out a bit more.

Yeah, it's not as garish, now.

Now that this game has a settings option I'm starting to wonder if the music On / Off button is kind of redundant.
