Tests

These are a few of the ideas which i tried out in flash before actually beginning to create the game.

The planet select screen:

Rob - my main character (see above)
I originally planned to have him so that the user could use their arrow keys to control him, which is what it demonstrated above.

Menu sound
I initially planned to have this playing on the opening screen, but i decided against it because it is a bit repetitive and would get annoying.

Random sounds
I created this when i planned to put sounds in on each of my levels, I decided against doing this, purely because, this test although working is not briliant because i found that it seemed to stop all sounds playing, once i had 'set it going' and then stopped it, even ones in a separate .swf file, when viewed in a web browser and after spending a long time on it i was unable to fix this problem
(so you may need to re-open your browser after playing this one for the rest of the clips on this site to work!)
