OK, it hasn't been released yet, but I can never change the title of threads afterwards, and my threads always end up having a weird and innappropriate titles.

Release of this game (a port of Kenta Cho's rRootage using OpenGLES) will be at the weekend 13/4 ish at some point.

I have posted a video of the game running here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=SvkLxApvyjs)

and here are some detailed pics to get an idea of what is in store.

Ahhhhh man... that title killed me!!!
I was like... omfg release!!! ah... no... this weekend :p

thank you for porting it
i cant wait until its released!

EVIL EVIL EVIL!

Man I was looking forward to this being out tonight... Oh well, looks great - can't wait to download it...

This is really cool, nice job on your game.

its like noiz2sa?
that games cinfusing i die too much
this looks cooler

can't wait for this. looks sick

when, when, when? really good graphics, good job.

Duuuuude.

That's some intense shmup action right there, and an excellent demonstration of the PowerVR's muscle. I'm not a huge shmup fan (because I suck) but this will be a definite showcase app. Very, very nice work.

have you been able to figure out the previously mentioned opengles issues?

have you been able to figure out the previously mentioned opengles issues?

some. I get no flickering at all, which is nice. Plus the app closes down properly which I was having problems with to start with. Still Some issues with the suspend button (and inevitable receiving a call on the iPhone) so I am working on that. I didn't get line widths and mip mapping (the reduction in texture detail when objects are smaller to avoid a graphical shimmer effect when things move) working, but then this game doesn't need those features. I am yet to be convinced that those features work at all on the hacked toolchain - i would be interested in finding out what other devs have found, as perhaps only some graphical modes work with those features. I will be doing some checks after this project to see, as my next project is full 3d and needs them....

There is no sound because I suck at coding sound (I always have) :)

Wow, looks great man. Keep up the good work! :)

Sorry, it's gonna be a day late I think. I missed a days coding today. I'll try and finish it Sunday, we will see. Its the other stuff like the website/startup graphics, icon graphics etc etc. that adds the time.

Are you just finishing it today? Or will it be released today as well?

Ah... i was sure it was release when I looked again!!!
Release today!!!! weeeee

I think I may be looking at one of the best games to grace the iPod Touch since Zodttd's emulators, and iPhysics!

Today is Sunday the 13'th, OMFGZ WHER3 IZ IT???????/????????/?????//??

Sorry if I sounded angry and rude :(, I don't want to come off like that. Please, take all the time you need to complete it, I look forward to it's release, I'm spreading word of this App all across the Forums. Hope you feel better bro, cuz seeing this awesome app made me feel better :D

No worries, I didn't take any offence. I have taken a break to play test for a bit. Its getting close but probably not tonight now. Almost definitely tomorrow though :)

Well that sounds good, I can't wait to get this game :D hooray you made my day, lol I'm sooo bored today, all my friends left for their vacations, so I've been eating crackers and posting on TouchFans all day ;)

i have been putting off posting in this thread, as it will just make me more anxious, but now it's so close, i've decided to post......
first, i have to say a big congratulations on being amazing :)
second, i'd be happy if it was released in the next week, :)
third, i like ending my sentances with smilies :)

Well that sounds good, I can't wait to get this game :D hooray you made my day, lol I'm sooo bored today, all my friends left for their vacations, so I've been eating crackers and posting on TouchFans all day ;)ahhhhhhh thats the good life. they better be saltines

sorry for the negativity but this looks almost exactly the same as your previous port with the exception of new colors. can you possibly port some games that aren't exact copies of each other :o sorry i really like noiz2a but this looks just like it.

lol yes! They are saltines how did you know, saltines are the best, but suck without water or pepsi or something :D

now I'm watchin Joe Dirt on Comedy Central in my room, starring at the gray sky outside

-Still looking forward to it's release! :D

Release tonight!!!!
Haha Im really not patient! :)

I think the accepted response would be "Then port something yourself." I know that Lazr has indicated before he's been doing these to expand his experience with the OpenGLES, etc. How about being patient while he's experimenting, and THANKING him for porting some cool applications? Or is that asking too much?

Can't agree more.

Any new news Lazrhog? Were all waiting :)

zomgz where iz it??????? I must hav itz!!!!

My... Precious...

very close. Some testing and tarting up to do, and then it would be down to Skylar to see if he can put it on the repo. He won't be able to do that till he finishes work I suspect, so you could be waiting for a number of hours yet.....

^^yay, my hopes for release within this week are looking good......

exactly like NOIZ2SA

Is the NOIZ2SA update coming this week as well?:D

Thanks derekVOF, that is exactly right. I could choose to release nothing, but I figure if I enjoy it then someone else might too :)

This started only as a 3d graphics exercise, as my next project besides izoo is full 3d. And yes, even though rRootage is a 2d game, the graphics are 3d.

Oh and I should add, this port does slow down when things get very busy which is part of the games design. However it really does slow down when things get ultra busy, and this is down to the sheer amount of geometry and not the graphics.

looks nice, can't wait

has no-one refreshed their installer lately ?

:)

i got it but i cant start it idk what to do:(

I got it and I love it much more then NOIZ2SA! ++++++ :D

i got it but i cant start it idk what to do:(

Hint: its a multitouch device :)

Lazrhog: Always the fun part, waiting for people to actually download and use the app. I hate this part of the process when I create an app.

Westmanipod, the instructions that pop up the first time you run the app tells you to select the level with one finger, then tap the screen with the other finger to start (or select the difficulty).

Thx :D

Could someone post a link to the file, I cant install it over the installer!

yeah I agree skylar :) I'm going to bed ... Its 10 past midnight here !

I look forward to reading the comments over coffee in the morning.

Do you have a link to the files? PLEASE POST ONE!!!

Dude very nice this is very fun

Do you have a link to the files? PLEASE POST ONE!!!

There is no reason you shouldn't be able to install this form within Installer, presuming you hav eInstaller 3.0 or later. Try clearing your Queue. If that still won't work, then as always, you can get anything the TouchRepo hosts by going to http://www.touchrepo.com/

Then, of course, I would look into fixing Installer, if I were you.

Awesome app, one of the best games out so far!!!!

nice nice

I love you.period.

oh dear god

HEHEHEHEHEH

edit: level seven made me laugh maniacally

edit: FOUND A NEW MODE, WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS MY

I CAN'T EVEN THINK OF A WORD TO PUT THERE

i wasnt trying to be a jerk but you obviously are.i haven't read over his other post because i don't scavenge the forums to see all his posts. I never said the game sucked or anything i asked why they looked the same.

They likely look the same because the original one was probably made by the same person. And they're not the same. This is basically an ongoing boss battle.

I'm trying to be no such thing. I just don't like to see people who are providing quality applications for FREE getting slammed for providing something that didn't meet your unrealistic expectations. Perhaps you should stop while you're behind as I don't think there's anything you can say that doesn't make you seem ungrateful. Just move along...

Again, kudos to Lazr for providing yet another great port. And, yes, the originals were created by the same person.

This is friggin' awsome! Great job Lazr! I'm having a hard time figuring out how to play each game mode. Is there a tutorial somewhere, or has that yet to be written?

^just guessing,

normal mode = you get three or so bombs that make these circley forcefields that kill every bullet that comes in them, and also hurt the boss if it hits one (double tap to use a bomb)

psy mode = when you shoot the boss you charge up a meter, when the meter gets full you get a spinny radar thing around your ship and if you fly into the boss it hurts him, alot (oh and it makes you invincible, god that's an awful song)

iha? 1ha? mode = you start out with a blue radar thing, and if you run into the blue bullets they turn into lasers and smack the boss, if you double tap your radar thing turns red, and now you reflect back red bullets

gw mode = you start out with a full meter, if you double tap and hold it drains and when it's empty you get a blue radar and can reflect back bullets, and mebbe fly into the boss and hurt him. the meter refills after awhile

methinks my favorite is iha/1ha mode (:

edit: oh and every time i said 'double tap' in that, i meant 2-finger tap

Westmanipod, the instructions that pop up the first time you run the app tells you to select the level with one finger, then tap the screen with the other finger to start (or select the difficulty).


Well i figured out how to select the level of difficulty, but i can figure out the main differences between the 'game play' modes.:confused:

nice description, I like this game alot better than NOIZ2SA

Also, the quote in you sig made me laugh!

awesome game :D

Great port Lazr! Will definitely replaze NOIZ for me.

i never asked him for anything i never said the game was bad. im not dissing him i said they LOOK SIMILAR can you read.Why are you taking things out of porportion. At least some people are nice and informed me about the game , instead of just bashing on me because i didn't know something.The nerve of some people.

Wow Lazrhog! This is just amazing!

It must be one of the most advanced apps ever for the iPhone! The graphics are awesome! Thank you so much! :D

Thanks for this LazrHog, you continue to bring the best ports for hardcore gamers and we love you for it!

rRootage is a great compliment to Noiz2SA, different but the same so to speak. I'm having much fun, do you have a donation link? You deserve it bro!

Lastly, could you put a button up to bring the help screen back? I have to admit, I only came to this thread to figure out how to change the difficulty levels :P

Freakin' sweet. Love this game. I still can't get over how well this runs.

For anyone interested I've done a short video demo/review here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP7Ir0ZofeA).

HAHAHA. Awesome.

Awesome!

2 words: FREAKING AWESOME!


thank you for making and releasing this app free of charge!

is anyone else getting screen flicker when playing this great game?

Im addicted to this game...
First ''computer'' game on the touch... if you get what I mean, great graphics and performance. Seriously... I'd donate for you if you'd keep working on great ports.

This is like exactly like NOIZ2SA....

This is like exactly like NOIZ2SA....

REALLY NOT...sorry...

Is halo like COD4? no?
Not cuz its the same genre of game that it means its exatly the same.

This one has improoved graphics, more modes.
And you only fight vs ''bosses''

just excellent man
way to go

SHMUPS 4 LIFE

Whoo-hoo!!!!! Game flat jams!!!

Kujo

lazrhog! congrats on another awesome release! I have been updating my sources everyday in hopes of seeing NOIZ2SA with the shipscreen drag (the idea I mentioned where the whole screen can be used to drag the ship, not just the small hitbox) but have yet to see it.. I almost started to lose hope that I would ever be able to drag my ship around... :P and then I saw rRootage and tried it and viola! it was there! awesome!!! rROOTAGE is amazing! i love the psy mode where you have the red / blue polarity absorbtion! that's great! best gamemode. Now that rRootage is under your belt will you ever update noiz2sa with the ship drag code?

also - might be a minor thing, or just me.. but if you drag the ship with your left finger a few pixels.. then pick up and drag the ship from another position form your right finger, its almost as if the ship jumps a few pixels?? a weird offset? it is the exact same pixel jump everytime, so I wonder if its a bug that could be corrected.. try to drag with the left finger on the left side of the screen, lift up and then put down and drag with the right finger on the right side of the screen and look for a ship jump.. I may just be seeing things...

awesome job once again!

ok, now seriously, AM I DUMB???
how do i start this game? i get into this menu with the sqares on the left which say normal mode, psy mode, 1a and so on... i tapped around that thing like hell and nothing happen.. the squares just get bigger and show the current number of the level. so i frustratedly tapped around the whole screen and suddenly the game starts..
but somehow i hit too much of that flying-around stuff and.. game over... tried again to start a level but no success.
i also am not that sure about the goal of the game.. is it just holding the movable beam onto that exploding thing at the top until it's dead? i managed to pass through 2 levels, then i hit too much of that stuff... i can't belive i can evade it forever!?

a short game description and some control advices would be helful, i didn't find anything!!!

If you didn't read the instructions that showed up when you first started the game, that's your fault. You could also check the previous page or two of this very thread to learn how to start the game. There's also descriptions of all the different game modes too.

Omg, Gigawing Port Ftw?!?! Fantastic Job !!! :d

men pleasee put a link to download it from here...i cant download the game from the installer, and i dont know why :confused:

what source do i have to add to get this game in the installer menu?

men pleasee put a link to download it from here...i cant download the game from the installer, and i dont know why :confused:

As always, everything on the TouchRepo can be manually downloaded by actually going to http://www.touchrepo.com/

what source do i have to add to get this game in the installer menu?

It is on a community source. Make sure you have the newest version of Community Sources installed.

Ikaruga on my touch?
AWESOME

in reply to zurie, yes there are some minor issues with the control mechanism because the iPod does some weird stuff going from single to multitouch and back again and I just didn't have time to test them all

And yes the controls have been updated on noiz2sa already. I'm just having a break before releasing an update for that to look at some other stuff for a few days...

Well done Lazrhog. I'll be playing this game for years to come :).

I have noticed a few other peculiarities. I've managed to crash my ipod by holding the home button to exit the game. This doesn't always happen though. The higher levels (above 7/8) with higher particle counts suffer from performance issues, to the point where the ship won't respond at all. This may be hard to fix though, unless a new/improved toolchain is released. Correct me if i'm wrong.

I haven't noticed any other issues, smooth as butter otherwise.

yeah it gets a bit too mental even for the iPod on the later levels. It isn't the graphics though, its the geometry calculations maxing out the processor. As for the crash, if it does then just hold down both buttons for a while to reboot the device. I can't catch every bug in the short timescale to release. Sorry.

No need to apologize. I'm just reporting stuff that I encounter and I'm not even expecting you to fix it.

This reminds me of another port to ipod, can't remember it's name

i love you... As long as you noticed it, thats what matters.. I am sure you will update the single / multi bugs when you get time. And, I can't wait for my NOIZ2SA with the touch! :) also, when I goto your main webpage, its mostly just a splash page for iZoo. do you have a homepage with all your stuff? that would be a good idea to have a simple splash page homepage with 3 graphics for your stuff, maybe a link to youtube, and the donate button... people go and just see iZOO and may not know you are the same guy.

and finally, I am so impressed with your work I am going to hit you up with a donation

please, a donation is not necessary, just if I ever charge like $2 for a game in future, think of it as a cumulative thing :)

Thanks everyone for the support and messages, it is those that make it worthwhile !

Edit: too late :) thanks for your generosity. I have already decided to reward previous donators in the future so consider yourself added !

it's already released!

Gah, nice program as I can tell on the video but...

Once download on mine, all it does is stay on the main screen flashing my background picture.

fw 1.1.4

i really cant believe you are doing all this for us, you are the first person i have ever wanted to donate to, sadly i cant though, wish i had paypal, :(
thanks again, i'm amazed at what you have achieved!

if you have Dock installed, you need to uninstall it. Dock doesn't work with openGL apps. There are gonna be lots more openGL apps, so you should uninstall Dock.

I like to play things through in order. So after I got home from work today, I started in the mid 2's and played all the way to level 4R-5 (I assume that's an R). By the time I got there, during a few of the more intense frays, things got so frazzled that I couldn't move my ship and the multitouch wasn't letting me launch a shield. When the game caught up with itself, my ship would jump to where I tried to move it before.

Ordinarily, I would think that my phone's processor just couldn't handle it, but then I shut down the game and restarted it, and there were no problems whatsoever. It makes me wonder whether or not you might have a leak in the program somewhere.

Of course, this probably isn't so much of a problem on the iPod, as it doesn't have to keep track of whether or not someone is trying to call (amongst other things); leaving the processor more free to process other things.


EDIT: Also, every now and then, the "amount of lives you have left counter" at the bottom of the screen does not update. I can live with it because the amount of lives do increase, as evidenced by the fact that I can have 0 lives left showing, die, then come back with 0 lives. If I don't die, it seems to show up when the bad guy reforms into a bigger, badder bad guy.

Also, finally, the bigger, badder bad guy's "remaining life" number display moves leftward, coming dangerously close to falling off the screen completely.

Aside form that, the game seems pretty solid. Three issues, one of which probably isn't your fault anyway, is pretty good.

Good job, and I can't wait for your next project to be released, it looks like fun.

--Skylar

hmm, I will check it out and see if I can find one. Not much dynamic allocation going on though....

wow awesome game mann thanks a lot

hey man, thank you for making such a sweet game...

congrats.

dunno if anyone mentioned what the initials mean yet so...
PSY is from Psyvariar. IKA is from Ikaruga. and GW is from Giga Wing.
This game is freaking awesome btw. it's like the sega dreamcast is in the palm of my hands.

its like noiz2sa?
that games cinfusing i die too much
this looks cooler

Yeah, it looks just like it...

It looks and plays just like Noiz2sa. :/

u have to keep one finger on the level u want to play and then while still having that finger presses down, u press anywhere on the screen with another finger. Try looking at www.touchpodium.com , its an ipod touch news place and they give directions on how to play this game

Best game I've played so far on the iPod Touch!

Thanks!

This game is very fun and entertaining

Sorry for my English

Hey Lazrhog,
The game is an amazing piece!!

I was wondering if you can add more fighting experience like traditional arcade scrolling shooter that only introduce the boss at the end of each level instead of being just a boss fight game. It would be alot more fun. Please seriously consider!

game looks awesome! cant wait for the release!

sorry to go offtopic but can anybody (or lazrhog himself) tell me what theme you have running on your ipod?

^just guessing,

normal mode = you get three or so bombs that make these circley forcefields that kill every bullet that comes in them, and also hurt the boss if it hits one (double tap to use a bomb)

psy mode = when you shoot the boss you charge up a meter, when the meter gets full you get a spinny radar thing around your ship and if you fly into the boss it hurts him, alot (oh and it makes you invincible, god that's an awful song)

iha? 1ha? mode = you start out with a blue radar thing, and if you run into the blue bullets they turn into lasers and smack the boss, if you double tap your radar thing turns red, and now you reflect back red bullets

gw mode = you start out with a full meter, if you double tap and hold it drains and when it's empty you get a blue radar and can reflect back bullets, and mebbe fly into the boss and hurt him. the meter refills after awhile

methinks my favorite is iha/1ha mode (:

edit: oh and every time i said 'double tap' in that, i meant 2-finger tap
normal mode = to use bomb you double tap, but its not working ? :s

can a nice person post it on rapid share or sumtin like that.

can a nice person post it on rapid share or sumtin like that.

You could go to RapidShare looking for a link, or you could actually go to http://www.touchrepo.com/ (you know, the source it is on) and download it from the source.

Or even better, just download it from Installer.

normal mode = to use bomb you double tap, but its not working ? :s

double tap in this case = tap with two fingers like when you select level =)

Ran into an issue playing last night. As I was playing, I hit the 20% battery warning which popped up and then quickly disappeared (appeared to go under the game play because I didn't hit the dismiss button), which at first I thought was cool because it didn't stop the game or interfere with it (like TTR does). Unfortunately, when I was done playing, I couldn't quit rRootage. I tapped home button for quit, nothing. I held down the home button for a force quit, nothing. Eventually resigned myself and restart my iPod Touch...

Still, great game, Lazrhog.

mines not working

double tap in this case = tap with two fingers like when you select level =)
thanks mate :)

Rep+

Love the app! Is no one else having flickering problems? Just like the Astro Physics level before compatibility mode, it flickers every few seconds. I try restarting, respringing, and reinstalling. I'm on 1.1.1.

^^do you have dock installed ?
it flashes with dock......
this is a great port, thank you !

Very well done!!
Looks great and plays better than NOIZ2SA (imho).
Thanks. :)

Only the selection of the levels and game mode is a pain in the.... ;)

How do you change the game mode anyways?

Ran into an issue playing last night. As I was playing, I hit the 20% battery warning which popped up and then quickly disappeared (appeared to go under the game play because I didn't hit the dismiss button), which at first I thought was cool because it didn't stop the game or interfere with it (like TTR does). Unfortunately, when I was done playing, I couldn't quit rRootage. I tapped home button for quit, nothing. I held down the home button for a force quit, nothing. Eventually resigned myself and restart my iPod Touch...

Still, great game, Lazrhog.

This also occurs with new texts on the iphone. And I have the same issue sometimes.

How do you change the game mode anyways?

You change the game mode by hovering over one of the top 4 boxes and clicking with two fingers.

All the game does for me is flash when I touch the screen. Is there a fix for that? I don't use dock.

I made a new icon for it... feel free to use it!

I just beat 6A and got the crap beat out of me by 6B (normal mode).

I think this game will occupy my time well.

its a fun game but it gets a bit repetitive it would be cool to get upgrades and stuff like raden x

looks really cool!!!

NO ONE IS LISTENING TO US!!!!

Will you please tell us how to fix the flashing issue!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^obviously no one knows
have you got any other apps running in the background ?
maybe hold the home button to force quit all apps, that's all I can think of, sorry :)

NO ONE IS LISTENING TO US!!!!

Will you please tell us how to fix the flashing issue!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you need to provide what firmware you are using and what apps you currently have installed

Great Game Lazrhog!!
i have a paper to write, and all i can seem to do is play this game. :( :P

5A (Normal) hurts my soul, btw...

excellent game Lazrhog, keep it up! it works fine on 1.1.1 .

its a fun game but it gets a bit repetitive it would be cool to get upgrades and stuff like raden x

If you want game play improvements please contact Kenta Cho, the original progger of the game. Lazrhog "only" ported it to the touch the way it is.

7A (normal) is a nightmare...

LOL, since you posted earlier I have been trying to nail 6A. Grrr. Taking me away from my other project .... (which is looking very good by the way :))

you need to provide what firmware you are using and what apps you currently have installed

I have 1.1.4 and almost every useful app installed. I'm not going to list them all.

I'll list my apps, since I too have the blinking problem and would really like it fixed....

All starting apps for firmware 1.1.4 (which is the itouch firmware currently)

Processes running according to SysInfo:

springboard

kernel_task

Any help is greatly appreciated. I've restarted springboards, reset phone, uninstalled/reinstalled rrootage, and still i have the problem.

Specifically, rrootage will look like it's working properly, but then when i touch it, it flashes constantly for as long as i'm touching it. It still functions and I can still play, but I feel like i might have a seizure.

Downloded this off of installer the other day, and its a lot of fun, thanks :)
During gameplay, you move with one finger, and hold the other down for the shield/bomb, correct?

Thanks jakamo5 - I'll see if I can work out what breaks it from that list.

LOL, since you posted earlier I have been trying to nail 6A. Grrr. Taking me away from my other project .... (which is looking very good by the way :))

I'm on 7A now, and it'll probably take me a while to beat that one. But, I know I will, I have a LOT of free time at work.

:)

woot!!!

RROOTAGE BLINKING PROBLEM FIX (at least for me)

Extended Preferences 2.0 - has a menu called "touch", within this, an option called "show touch"... mine was default set to on. When i turned it off, rrootage no longer blinked.

hope this helps! +rep if it helped ya

I'd like to be the first to beg you to tell us your new project.

Honestly, if I told you, I would get like a thousand PMs and a million begging posts for me to release it already, and it is a difficult enough job as it is. It will be worth the wait, so give me a few weeks, hopefully I will post a teaser video a week or so before release, like I usually do.

I can assure you, pickleman, you will be amazed.

Doees anyone have any tips for this game? I'm not gettin it..

Haha :D now you'll get spammed by people who want to know what the project is about ;]

Anyway, thanks for a great game :)

how do you select a level to play?

yea i keep tryin, and i cant get it to start either, but it did start once, but i dont know how

I can assure you, pickleman, you will be amazed.

I better hope so! It'd be even more amazing if I was un-IP banned... I have no idea why I was IP banned in the first place... =/ Lol

I hate having to wait for people to announce stuff. It kills me.

If you don't mind, I'd like to request making a pause option. I love the game and its awesome gameplay, but I've gotton used to pausing at any given time, and I think it would be a great feature to add in any update :)


Thanks, and keep up the great work lazr

Ill take a guess and say Lazrhogs next project is Parsec47 :D

omg. Geometry Wars for the iPhone??

stop guessing please. You are all wrong, and you will just wind yourselves up.

Any updates as to the status of your other updates like izoo and Noizza?:D

i love this game

Any updates as to the status of your other updates like izoo and Noizza?:D

No, but I might release the Noiz2sa update at some point. I left it in a practically finished state prior to starting my new project. iZoo update will depend on how many people leave us for the AppStore in June and buy bejewelled I guess .....

..... iZoo update will depend on how many people leave us for the AppStore in June and buy bejewelled I guess .....

Only when they have stolen your game play changes ;)
The original is sooo lame compared to your version. :D

I think we have to start a petition to keep you going on iZoo. :)

LOL. OK, I will probably do it. It will look well snazzy re-written in OpenGL too. Oh boy I could have some fun with that ! (although I might be in hiding after Apple put a hit out on me when I release my new game :))

I second the motion of a petition for an iZoo update! LOL
Why would anyone go and buy a game when they have iZoo which is hands down a better game???
(did i mention it's free too?)
Do any of the pending updates iZoo/NOIZ2SA/rRootage include a "save game" or "pause" feature? That would be awsome!
Keep up the awsome work Lazr! :)

On a side note.....when you get the the INSANE levels in rRootage/NOIZ2SA and there's a ton of shit on the screen, does it get real laggy/jumpy?

Yep, does go laggy, but who really cares, they are fun and free :)

It really is asking a heck of a lot from a 412MHz Processor at that point.... the graphics chip doesnt have a problem though.

"eng" but who really cares, they are fun and free :)

I agree 100% and i wasn't complaining, i was just wondering if it happened to anybody else.
I would NEVER complain about Lazr's games....actually, i am going to complain about how addicted i am to them LOL. I set at my desk all day and pretend to "work" when i'm just getting pissed that i can come close to beating 5c in normal mode LOL

mines not working

5C. Just wait until you get to 8A (normal). I've been playing it for a week and I can get near the end, but I just can't quite beat it.

Thanks again for this amazing game. Can't wait for your next release.

5c isn't even that tough, it's just when the screen really fills up, my ship gets stuck and there's nothing that i can do to move it. :mad:after about 1.5-2 seconds it'll jump to the last place my finger touched which always ends up being the WORST place to possibly be, and i Die

HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET TO 8a!!!!!?!?!?!?!?:eek:
Did you find a way to predict where you end up when it comes out of being frozen?:confused:

i completed it in all modes =P

OK, it hasn't been released yet, but I can never change the title of threads afterwards, and my threads always end up having a weird and innappropriate titles.

Release of this game (a port of Kenta Cho's rRootage using OpenGLES) will be at the weekend 13/4 ish at some point.

I have posted a video of the game running here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=SvkLxApvyjs)

and here are some detailed pics to get an idea of what is in store.

BEAutiful lolZ

i completed it in all modes =P

thats got to be a lie thats like impossible lol

this game looks really awesome but the thing is i can't get the game to start for some reason it's really frustrating!:( (mode won't change either)

You choose the level you want and then tap the boss and the title.

great game...

This game is amazing. I'm officially addicted.

WORST GAME EVER!!!
Because...
Flashing screen issue..
But other than that.....
It still sucks

Wow - really nice. Why don't you do something then?

Hello there I dont know weather you have solved you problem with starting the rRootage but it ocurred to my mind that two finger (multitouch) is involved and ... Yes ! That is the answer just use two fingers tap over the boss after you have been selected the level.
Enjoy !

looks good dude. + Rep

how can i actually play? i dont know aht to do in the lelvel selection screen..
and how do i get rid of the flicker?

Does it ever surprise you, Lazrhog, the sheer number of people that, for some stupid reason or another, won't read the initial pop up that appears when you launch the game for the first time, although that initial pop up tells them EXACTLY how to start and control the game?


ps, sorry for the commas.

yeah I know LOL. I guess given the distribution curve of types of ipod/iphone users, there are going to be some impatient types that just want to get to the game......

hey yeah that was a stoopid question I accidentaly clicked play on in the first pop out but uh is there a way to fix the flickering screen?

ok for sum reason I can't edit my post uh I already uninstalled dock and it stopped flickering when Im not touching it but wen I start to hold down on the screen it still flickers

Awesome game but could you please implement a pause, so that we can suspend the iPod and pick up the game later? I only have a few minutes at a time usually and can never finish a game. :(

Could some1 post the files thanx? I think the repo is down right now, and i love these games! I need to have it guys, Cmon = P.

ah very nice. port spectre challenge next hehe :)

..just finish the level ur on and turn it off then the next time you open it play the next level

lol because of the number of people stupid enough not to be able to start the game i think i might have to make a video lol

Arg! Nobody wants to help me out? PLEASE? I really want this game, and all those fabulous comments are jus making me want it more = P. I cant get it from insaller, so i checked the repo. Its down. Where else can i get it guys?

As Skylar is fond of saying (and has to say over and over since no one seems to pay attention), all of the applications in the Touchrepo are available at the website - go here to download it -- http://www.touchrepo.com/Apps/Games/

Search is your friend - try it out next time...

..just finish the level ur on and turn it off then the next time you open it play the next level


It's not the same, like today I was playing while waiting in line at Costco and I had to stop playing and pay just as I got to stage 5 of the level. This game would be SO much more useful if you could just pause it and resume it.

I shall use search in the future Derek, I shall = P.

hey can anyone upload it ino zip file? The installer link is down...

can someone upload their copy? touch repo has been down for so long

It's on this repo, too:

http://www.iphoneheat.mobileradio.hk/source/

Enjoy!

:( doesnt work cause that repo uses the touchrepo to get the app from. that link itself is down too

Oh, okay. Here's a link to a zip then:

http://groove.milescrabill.com/rRootage.zip

Happy downloading!

What are the controls?
I can't seem to figure anything out past the first menu...
I can only tap the level numbers, and that's it...

you hold one of the numbers and press anywhere else at the same time

Oh, okay. Here's a link to a zip then:

5C. Just wait until you get to 8A (normal). I've been playing it for a week and I can get near the end, but I just can't quite beat it.

i'm in the midst of planning a 7A solution. 5A was the hardest level, so far, by far.

Bad ass game. Thanks

looks pretty gnarly

Skylar, you ever beat 8A normal? i got there last night, and can't beat 8A-5... it's ridiculous.

nevermind... on 8B now.

I wish there was an rRootage Editor, so you can create the design the boss dude ship guy thing shoots.

Any chance this will get put on the App Store?

anyone beat 10R IKA mode? i've been stuck on it for a week. it's holding me back from working on finished GW mode...
i also want to beat rRootage before i upgrade to 2.0.

u can use toolchain 2.0 meanwhile here is the url on how to port 1.14 apps to 2.0 and put them on cydia.

Hey when you gonna port this to 2.0

for everyone who says the mode is iha or something else. its IKA. it is kinda copying the game IKARUGA which is one of my favorite video games. a 2d shooter with gr8 graphics where u turn from white/blue to red/black to absorb white/blue and red/black lasers and u can shoot them back in a charge attack that is stronger as you absorb more. and u can shoot ur own lasers. great game

This game is awesome, I've beaten most of the game on normal, I like trying to beat the last level, i almost beat it but i diead at the very end...
Thanks for the port :)
(if you all didnt notice its on the appstore :) )

this game got easier on 2.x firmware imo.
it was much harder to beat on 1.1.4.

Ive got an update sitting on my macbook that makes it the original speed of the PC version :) Way faster and smoother than the 1.1.4 version. I just haven't submitted it to apple. Should be submitted by the end of the week hopefully.....

oh man :)
i think rRootage is still my favourite game on the touch. it should have a better rating in app store.

(did you ever implement the customization idea?)

Will we ever get sound for it? (I'm imagining really catchy music for some reason)

you could play your own music...

I think the original music was some kind of techno beat thing. Matched it quite well. I haven't done that yet :(

SWEET! I love this game! Lazr - have you made a 2.x version of NeverputtME?

yeah thats been out on appstore for ages. I have a new version of that coming soon with 2 new super-hard courses too :)

I should try and get the games soundtrack and maike a playlist and just play it when playing the game xD

hey. i loved this game before i jailbroke my ipod and now neither the app vers or touchrepo vers works. they both show the splash screen then exit back to the springboard.

touch 2g jailbroke using cyw00d.

The appstore version works just fine as far as I am aware.

i tried re-installing it through itunes and still nothing... :(
i miss this game!

Hmmm, I wonder if Jailbreaking stops it working.
