[Release] Whack Mania --- Whack a mole around planets

So i have finally finished the port of a game I released a couple of years ago for IOS and Android called Whack Mania.
It is basically a Whack a Mole game but with very nice graphics (I worked with very professional people here) similar to Mario Galaxy. Instead of the classic game where the moles appear on holes on a plane here they appear around a planet and you need to rotate it in order to smash them. There are a few other game modes but I prefer you to take a look a give me your opinion :)

Here is a video of what the game is about


And here is a video of the 3ds version


Another video of one of the final bosses


You can find more info on my blog

- Fixed crash on consoles with language not set on english or spanish
- Cleaned up resources
- Lefties can shoot with R trigger now
- Fixed several crashes when changing from one level to another
- Screeen swapping, the game can now be played in the bottom screen
- Added option for rotating the planet with the circle pad (disable drag planet on options)
- Fixed typo on the 1st screen
- Improved 3d effect
- Game now uses boths screen by extending the viewport

I don't have a N3DS but I am now working on refactoring the code a lot so it can go open source and some guys could take a look

Found a funny bug while reviewing the code... it seems that the game crashes if the language of your console is not english or spanish... :blink:

Hey guys

just updated the game with some of the feedback you provided. I have updated the first post, but anyway here is a list of the new features

-------------- Update (2016/04/10) ---------------------------------------------------------------

- Fixed crash on consoles with language not set on english or spanish
- Cleaned up resources
- R trigger can now be used for lefties
- Fixed several crashes when changing from one level to another
- Screeen swapping, the game can now be played in the bottom screen too
- Added option for rotating the screen with the circle pad (disable drag planet on options)
- Fixed typo on the 1st screen
- Improved 3d effect
- Game now uses boths screen by extended viewport


For swapping between screen you now have a new option in both the options screen and the pause menu ingame
If you wanna try the circle pad for rotating the planet disable planet dragging in the options menu

This new version is also more stable and I have been able to test it on a New 3DS so it should be working for all of you

Here is a small video of one of the final bosses
I am playing this time in the bottom screen and failing, could you beat him?


This is a crazy gameplay video. Anyone will get fooled. It's just too well made to be a homebrew :D

    Again don't play on PC, nor would play that. And who knows, some those "issues" could just be your PC.

    usually issues are a shitty PC

    I haven't had a crappy pc in years and when I did, I promptly got rid of it

    KSP 2 did suck and the entire staff team got laid off
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    When I used to game on PC, I'd pirate PC games all the time, and some yes would crash often, maybe they were bad rips or something. I've had my SeriesX for over 2 years now and never have had a game crash yet, or any game breaking bugs. I have seen weird bugs like NPC walking thru floors or walls, but not often.
  • sombrerosonic @ sombrerosonic:
    Stupid question but any good PSP games anyone?

    The jp cover for wings of fire is beautiful. Sucks that the translation won't make the story any better
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @BigOnYa PC games like to crash, satisfactory crashes every like 8 hours for me, there's some kinda leak with unreal engine objects so it hits the max object count and crashes
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and minecraft had a memory leak, over time the game slowed down more and more and i saw the ram usage slowly increasing, eventually it would crash if i left the game on all night
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    console games on the other hand have to be better optimized, theres less resources so those leaks get caught early and fixed, is my guess

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you see poorly optimized console games sometimes that crash constantly

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    because they were released unfinished

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but the issues probably exist on the pc versions of those games too, they just don't get noticed because there are more resources available
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    since the pc and console versions are the same code base

  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    There is also the issue of people learning programming on languages with garbage collectors - so when faced with C/C++ they just allocate memory and do not even realise they have to free the heap as well...
    +2
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @lwiz, The issues with noobies who are trying to learn any programming language or modding a console, is that they say "Any x experts out here?". If they at least asked the damn question, then it wouldn't be riddled with confusing nonsense. I cannot fathom how nobody even has the ability to think when following instructions.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There are also tutorials and books that you can read which gives you a better understanding on the subject, even if you don't get it the first time, it does help to boost you up the learning curve. :P
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I've just spent hours making new flashcart labels, one that is for a DS Fire Card. I have some good experience when it comes to art design. 7+ years learning Photoshop, now onto GIMP, it's a lot easier to facilitate.
