Developments

The first of my games finally passed through PlayJam/GameStick review, yesterday. (Good to know that ONLY took 5 days, even though I was on "the fast track"!! Compare that to the fact that OUYA's reviewed all 5 of the games I've so far uploaded!)

A very thorough review, where the only complaints were as follows.

1. If you pause the game, go into the menu, turn off the music, then turn it back on, it doesn't actually restart until you've quit the game.
This has been a "feature" of my framework for a long long time, mostly due to the fact that one device that I've forgotten (Probably my Nexus 7) didn't ever STOP the music properly, thus leading to a really annoying case where hitting the Music On/Off button would lead to an insane number of overlapping tracks.
Stupid bug..
Yesterday I apent a good amount of time trying to work that one out, as well as having to account for different games that might use various tunes and things. I *think* I've got it, but will have to double check, today, to be sure it's working on all devices.

2. The [START] button is unused.
An OUYA-based thing, in that the OUYA controller didn't have a Start button, and that big old OUYA button had many none-game related uses, so I instead used the Y (top of the four face buttons) to do all my pausing/menu stuff.
I've re-inserted Start Button functionality, and will be testing that today, too.

Basically, lots of testing to be done over the next few hours, and that's, once again, taking time away from NeonPlat Adventures
Boooo!!!

I did, at the very least, add crumbling platforms to NeonPlat, yesterday, so that's good. .. I think..

Otherwise, the current framework seems to pass through PlayJam's GameStick review fairly well, so pretty much expect an influx of AGameAWeek to slowly start appearing on that device.

Sorry!!!
