Made originally for the 100 behavior challenge... And now this is going off to the App Store!
To play... Swipe in the direction the arrow is facing as it comes from the left, right, top or bottom of the screen. If you swipe in another direction or never get to swipe on the arrow... You lose! Oh, and there happens to be a little something called THE SPECIAL ARROW - swipe twice on that thing! Try to beat your highscore, ok?
Swipe away!

Listen up guys!
I hate this update XD. I was supposed to have a shop done. I had everything designed, but after a few months gave up because I couldn't get all the arrows working.
Anyway, this is probably one of the last updates before I release to the App Store, so help me out! This update features smoother gameplay, refined design, and better colors. I also fixed up the tutorial and music. The awards are now found throughout the game, and they're all working! Just tell me if you find any bugs or have any simple feedback.
If you have any ideas to make up for the shop, that would be a cool update after I get this on the App Store. Contact me at michaelk.writing@yahoo.com if by any chance you've published to the App Store and want to help. I got that email at 7 years old XD. Anyway, I'll probably post info on the forum.
Have fun!

The swiping isn't working well for me, I am swiping up twice but arrow not going away (so I'm pretty sure it's something to do with the way swipe up/down/left/right works. You should add some visual effect when you successfully swipe an arrow, and instead of the arrow being darker if it is a double swipe, why not just be like a double arrow? Either an arrow inside a bigger arrow or just 2 arrowheads facing in the same direction (and one of the arrows disappear when you swipe).
January 09, 2017
I like the idea of an arrow inside of an arrow. Probably not going to happen right now, but a great thing to consider in the future. Now, when you say the swiping isn't working, that has me really worried. I got to a highscore of 56, but then again, I'm the one who made the game and knows inside-out how it works. What device are you using? And is it consistent?
January 10, 2017
iPad Air, there's nothing wrong with performance (seems to run 60FPS) and it is not really consistent, it's probably just the way I swipe or something.
January 10, 2017
Ok I tried it again and it is sort of consistent, it's only happening with dark blue arrows, the first swipe on an arrow always works for me but the second swipe only works sometimes.
January 10, 2017
Thanks! I just wish other people would comment so I know whether it's happening to everyone. I will look it over anyway.
October 07, 2016
I like leaving benchmarks... Today is October 7th and my goal is to publish this to the App Store in 3 weeks....
January 09, 2017
Well it's January 9th :(. I have everything about done though and will publish as soon as I have time.
October 02, 2016
This now broken... Please wait for the next update!
September 02, 2016
This is actually really addicting. I can't wait for the shop! I have such a good score!
September 02, 2016
Yay! Thanks! What's your score XD?
September 02, 2016
Well! My high score is 16! It's really hard to get higher than 20!!!
September 02, 2016
Lol mine's 36 😝
I'll try to get the shop out as soon as possible!
September 02, 2016
That's awesome!
September 02, 2016
@Mlkpad14 the spectral arrow doesn't work I try swiping the direction twice but it doesn't work!
September 02, 2016
How doesn't it work? It works perfectly fine on my iPad. You swipe, it changes color, you swipe again, the next arrow comes... It isn't doing that for you?
September 02, 2016
I'll wait a day that what sometimes happens
September 02, 2016
Yeah, it's still working for me!
September 02, 2016
@Mlkpad14 when ever I die it doesn't reset!
September 02, 2016
What do you mean it doesn't reset?
September 02, 2016
Like I don't die
September 02, 2016
That's beyond strange. I've never had that specific issue since I got the game working originally like 2 months ago.
September 02, 2016
Could just be for me... This has happened on one of my games I'm working on where it just deletes a whole room but when I save and exit then come back it's all there and working so it way just be me
September 02, 2016
Can you try restarting your iPad for me? Or just restarting Hyperpad? Then trying again? That would really be appreciated.
September 02, 2016
Works! Thanks!
September 02, 2016
Great!
August 30, 2016
This is a promising update! Soon, it'll be ready for the App Store! No garuantee... But probably another update in a few days... K guys?
September 02, 2016
Update!
August 21, 2016
Did you get developer for life?
August 22, 2016
Nope, I'm still paying 9.99 a month. I'm waiting a few more months, and I want to see what I can do with my Mac first. I probably will though XD. Did you?
August 22, 2016
I haven't yet but I'm likely going to....what are you doing on your Mac?
August 22, 2016
I might check out a few programs and some code. I'm likely going to stick with Hyperpad anyway. I should be getting the Mac in less than a month though!
August 22, 2016
Cool!
August 21, 2016
THE DEATH ARROW!!! Lol it'll probably already be gone by tomorrow. Big update tomorrow guys... BIG UPDATE!!! THE SPECIAL ARROW!!!
July 17, 2016
I might make this closed source next update... Or maybe the update after... You can take a look at this right now if you want though!
Also, in case I won't be able to update in the next week, I have sad news for you guys... I'm going to be going away for 4 weeks and I won't have an iPad to work with. I will only be able to look at Hyperpad through the Internet and rush my comments through there. It's saddening to leave you guys and my games for so long :(. However, I'll have lots to make up for when I come back!
July 16, 2016
This game is very similar to one that a company called ketchapp made and put on the app store. Although I do like it.
July 16, 2016
Thanks! Just how similar is it though? Will I be able to publish this to the App Store? I never really looked Ketchapp over XD
July 17, 2016
It's the same gameplay but with a different background, start Manu and screen orientation.
July 17, 2016
Ok, I checked it out and it's pretty similar so I'll try to make it different :).
July 10, 2016
You should make it get faster and harder over time.
July 10, 2016
Thanks! I was actually planning on doing that.... After the challenge... Just I wasted 99 behaviors :(.
July 10, 2016
It's already up to 99 behaviours? You could make this game easily under 50 behaviours. Unless you're like me and you tried to get exactly 1 under the limit by adding probably useless and inefficient behaviours 😝
July 10, 2016
Well I haven't got 99, but I plan to.
July 10, 2016
I couldn't figure out how to make this with less behaviors. You can check out the coding if you want, see if you can figure out a more efficient way to make it...
July 15, 2016
Nope? Lol, ok then :)
July 15, 2016
Now that I'm finished updating mine I'll branch this and have a look for you 😊 there's no way I'm gonna get any lower than 100 behaviours on mine now without removing features. Jack8680 gave it a go because for a while, got to around 30-40 behaviours but it didn't work properly.
July 15, 2016
If I get one with few behaviours what do you want me to do with it?
July 15, 2016
Ok, thanks! I could give yours a look if you want? Would you like that, or is there no way it'll be lower than your amount of behaviors?
July 15, 2016
Oh, so if you get one with fewer behaviors then... I could give you my email through gamepress forums, I guess, like so you can give me a link. Or can you message me a link? That'd be amazing.
July 15, 2016
I'll email it to you, I haven't really been to the forums much, I'll just put my email in here. aidanfire@hotmail.com if you don't want to comment yours just email me 😊
July 15, 2016
Also you can have a look at my The100 game if you want, but there is pretty much no way to remove behaviours. I don't mind I'll just update it and go over the limit after the challenge has ended.
July 15, 2016
Oh ok! Then I'll leave it be :). I'll also email you right about now. Thanks again!
July 17, 2016
Here you go: http://bit.ly/29FjQLd
49 behaviours with an increasing spawn rate. It looks messy in the arrow with all the behaviour offs because there is a bug where swipe behaviours were activated after the object was destroyed.
July 17, 2016
Also, it's a branch so you won't be able to upload it
July 17, 2016
Is this my project? Because Aidan already helped me redo everything with 56 behaviors. I mean, I'm thankful for what you did and I'll check it out, but the issue is sort of already solved :(.
July 17, 2016
He actually helped me crush that other Hyperpad bug! That's why there were more behaviors!
July 17, 2016
Anyway, the new update is out! I still appreciate your help!
July 17, 2016
Jack got around the bug too, he did a better job getting less behaviours, so if you ever for some reason need more behaviours you would check his out.
July 17, 2016
I will! Just I thought he said that there was that destroyed object bug, so I thought it existed in there. I took a look at the behaviors though and they seemed creative and way effecient enough :).
July 18, 2016
Lol, I didn't realise Aidan had sent one... Mine is more behaviour efficient and includes an increasing spawn rate function, but there is no reason to use mine unless you run out of behaviours.
July 18, 2016
Lol yeah. I don't know if I'll even have time to update this again before the challenge is over XD.
July 10, 2016
Cool game and the art is nice! But you might want to look into the swiping coding because sometimes the swiping dosent work well. But, overall cool game! (I liked it above)
July 10, 2016
Thanks, I'd have to look into the swiping after the challenge because I'm using Hyperpad's swipe behavior, and if I created my own it would exceed 100 behaviors. Problem is, I already used up 99 of those behaviors XD.
July 10, 2016
By the way, it was a bit rushed for the challenge :(. Almost all my focus right now is in this other game I've been working on the past 4 months called "Exactly!" On the hub, it still has 6 levels from a month ago, but I've made 12 more! Do you think this game is worth focusing on right now?
July 10, 2016
I left it open source this time! If anyone can figure out a way to use less behaviors for what I did, just so I can add 7 more in... That would be great! Those 7 behaviors made up a nice highscore system, which I sadly had to delete :(.
July 16, 2016
working on my own 100 challenge game MR WORKOUT which is a weight lifting simulator.Trying to save the score in the game. Making great progress so far. will still do bomb island though
July 16, 2016
Sounds cool! I should have an update for this out soon!
July 16, 2016
so I will learn how to save scores and values.
July 16, 2016
Ok, that sounds cool! Good luck!
July 17, 2016
Updates out!
