Construct 2 HTML5 Touch Jam Results

[TomFulp]

Every entry in the Construct 2 Touch Jam has now been played and tested on an iPhone 5 to provide feedback for developers to keep in mind moving forward.

The results are a mix of NG judging, user reviews and feedback from the Scirra team (developers of Construct 2). We were also fortunate to expand the prize pool from eight winners to ten!

Any winner who already has a full version of Construct 2 will have the option to pass their prize to a runner-up.

The controls in Space Hamster take some getting used to on a keyboard but were surprisingly good on the phone. It has great level of polish and felt like playing a native phone app. The HUD layout feels like it was made for horizontal mode but on my iPhone 5 the bottom was slightly cropped. It was still playable and worked well in vertical mode.

The Journey to Heaven was off to a great start but when I got to the part where I open and close portals, my character was off the screen. I switched from horizontal to vertical orientation on my iPhone and this solved it. I believe the game should have been able to resize itself properly for a horizontal orientation. The audio worked and the game played well overall, although the touchable objects were really small. Would definitely play best in a proper horizontal mode.

Module Blue looked simple at first but turned out to be a pretty addictive shooter. It also ran great and played well on my phone, which was exciting. The music worked on my phone but there were no sound effects. It also looks like the particle explosions were disabled, probably for performance. As a shooter fan, I did find myself wanting certain bells and whistles, such as enemy ships flashing when hit and dying with a juicier explosion animation instead of a few particles.

Lead Me Up lets you drag and drop commands to guide your character through the levels. The slow pacing is helpful in some parts but in others I really wish I had a speed control. It appears to run well on my phone, but the click collision box on commands is much too small and it was hard to tap with enough accuracy to move things around consistently. There also wasn't any sound on the phone.

Drop Undead has a nice level of polish. My first impression was that I didn't like it because the delay between clicks made gameplay kinda impossible. Once I bought a Jetpack Booster things improved dramatically. On my phone it didn't resize to fill the screen and the controls didn't seem to work properly with moving towards my tap. As far as I can tell this is just for desktop browsers at the moment, although it would really be nice as a phone game.

Bunker Control has great atmosphere and once I started getting into it I really liked it. It moves slow but it works for a lot of the challenges, I just imagine a lot of people walk away from the very first scene, where you need to walk for a long time to the left, get the access codes, then walk a long time to the right. The visual space for the game is also smaller than I'd like it to be, although it still does work out on a phone.

Golden Lotus has a cool classic PC / Amiga shooter vibe but it did bug me that I was shooting red bullets at enemies that shot red bullets and dropped red coins. That appears to be how it was in Tyrian, the game this is based on, so I'll fault Epic MegaGames for that one. The developer marked it as only compatible with Windows phones so I'm assuming it would crash my iPhone.

Spooky Kitties is a cute platformer. On the desktop browser version there's an issue where if you hit spacebar while your attack is still charging, it doesn't address the input and as a result your browser will page down. It plays great on my phone although like a number of these games, it looks like it was made for horizontal aspect ratio but the bottom gets cropped when displayed horizontal on my iPhone 5. Worked well in vertical mode, just was smaller than it could have otherwise been on my screen.

Bomberdude takes some getting used to at first and would have benefitted from a slower difficulty ramp-up at the start. It can be fun and intense though and plays pretty well on the phone. The springboards don't always feel 100% reliable, I feel like there are moments, maybe when you jump directly up onto a second springboard, that they aren't as responsive as I expect.

Piggy - Take me home is a cute game where you avoid obstacles and collect bonuses while constantly moving forward. I ran into a lot of issues with it on my phone, though. It didn't size to fill the screen, so it required stretching. In both stretched and unstretched modes, tapping the screen only seemed to move my pig to the left, so every time I would end up on the far left and could never move back to the right. There also wasn't any sound.

Plutoid is a decent, simple platformer.

I really like the gameplay concept in Psychic Pirate, where time freezes and you need to click / tap a bunch of stuff before it unfreezes. I was also happy that it properly filled my phone screen, ran well and had all the sound. My only issue with playing on the phone is that the tapping of the cannonballs could be unresponsive, maybe because they need a larger tap area or maybe I just suck or my phone screen sucks. The visual and sound of a ship taking multiple hits was satisfying. There's cool potential for more epic tapping games based on this mechanic.

Chihuahua's Revenge has a nice visual style and more potential. The click controls make it hard on a desktop browser so it actually plays better on my phone. A smoother phone framerate and more gradual difficulty curve could win over more mobile players. A keyboard option on the desktop could win over more web players, although there are a lot of great web games to compete with in this category.

The Path looked like it was intended to run in horizontal mode, but when it resized for horizontal it ended up being too tall for the screen. I also had conflicts with pressing near the top of the screen, so ultimately I settled on playing in vertical mode, which worked fine. Another interesting note, I'm not sure if it's trying to save my progress but upong returning to the game and playing "Peaceful" mode, it attempts and fails to load "Level NaN", NaN being Not a Number, as if maybe it's trying to load some saved progress data and getting junk instead.

As a review said, Collider isn't much as a web game but could be a winner as a phone game. It runs well on my phone and was fun to smash colored blocks around for a bit.

Carnage Face is an autorunner where you can also shoot stuff. It filled my phone screen properly and the audio worked. It's pretty damn hard though. I do appreciate the unique visual style.

Planet Invaders is in too early of a stage to really judge, although it looks like it will be cool.

Breaking was more fun on my phone, although it didn't fill the screen properly when I went to horizontal orientation. If you play on a desktop, be sure to use the arrow keys instead of trying to click left and right on the screen.

I like the puzzles in Mechanika and it plays well on my PC. On my iPhone, it didn't resize properly for horizontal viewing and the bottom of the screen was cropped. In vertical mode everything felt kinda small. The sound effects worked on my phone and so did the title screen music, but there was no music during gameplay.

I was hopeful that A-ninja-nate would be fun to play on my phone but the controls were hard to get used to. Has potential though, the audio worked and it filled the screen properly. Maybe you can find a background artist here on NG!

Survive or Die worked decent in my phone but the controls should be brought in further from the corners because they overlay the back button and fullscreen toggle on the iPhone. Really the iPhone should do something different to avoid sharing screen space with games.

Hit Spit more obviously needs to be played in a verical orientation. Some HTML5 games default to full-screen on my phone but this one defaulted to around half the potential size, so I had to expand it with my fingers to make it fill the screen. Besides that it plays great on my phone. The music and sound effects didn't work, though.

Poker Dice Solitaire properly filled my screen in both horizontal and vertical orientation, so something was done right there! The audio also worked and it played well as a touch game. I don't normally seak out this kind of game but it turned out to be catchy and also serves as a good technical example of everything working right with a mobile web game.

BroBalls 2 was an April Fools gag but still worth a try! The screen resized properly for both horizontal and vertical orientation. The "High Scores" and "Mute" buttons on the title screen didn't render properly on my phone. The game itself ran great and the touch controls for the paddles were responsive. A good example of web pinball on a phone. The music worked but the sound effects did not.

Crane it Up opened with an advertisement countdown where no advertisement actually played. The game itself fills the screen great at a vertical orientation but gets cropped at horizontal. The dimensions were obviously made for vertical, though. Everything ran great on my phone and the controls worked but the music and sound effects did not.

Avoid the Dino is another one that doesn't resize to fill the screen, but works ok in the default horizontal size. The amusing thing here is that in the web version, the Dino follows your mouse movement. On a phone, the Dino simply warps to wherever you tap. It means you can just tap an egg to grab it without having to maneuver past dinosaurs but it still presented a challenge because you had to be sure to tap somewhere else before the incoming dinos got you. The sound didn't work on my phone.

Thanks again to everyone who participated in this competition and sorry we couldn't give prizes to all of you!

Cool. I'll see if it works on my android.

Congratulations to the winners and all who made games for this competition.

Wooo 3rd place :)

Glad to have had an awesome team(Team Prototype all the way!!!!) and great competition.

P.S. Human Invasion is going to be on the Android Play Store sometime in the future so look out for that

[kenli-z]

congratulations for the winners :)

Yea, congratulations!

[PuffballsUnited]

Wow, it looks like it was a lot of work to go through all these entries and review them! You're a pretty cool guy Tom.

[davehailwood]

Firstly, congratulations to all the winners! Magnetized and Space Hamster were two of my favourites, so it was nice to see them do well.

Secondly, thanks for all the feedback on the different games, Tom. It's really useful to hear what works and what doesn't on Mobile Phone, since that's always a tricky thing to get right with html5 games.

I should have an update for my own contribution soon, which makes the A.i. marginally less suicidal.

Keep up the jolly nice work, chaps!

[Malachy]

Awesome! I am disappointed in how voters have given all these games ~3 stars or less. I always offer a couple extra points for trailblazing into new territory.

Tom, I really like how you took time to offer constructive criticism in such public posts - I wish more reviewers were as helpful as you are. How did your battery fare testing all these games? Would you say playing html5 games on your browser eats up more battery than playing a game from the app store? Do iphones have developer options to keep track of fps, touch points and CPU usage? I think it would be a cool trick to try these games with those options enabled and see how it works with the phone at the basic level.
