Win10-App with Sprites created in A:M

[Fuchur]

Hi everybody,

 

I just created my wirst Win10-App for the windows store... all the assets for it have been created with A:M...

If you have a Win10 Desktop, Laptop, Tablet or a Windows 10 Mobile Phone, you can play it .

 

Have fun, hope you like it . It is of cause a free app .

It is quite simple, but I hope it still is fun .

I'm still on Windows Stone-Knives-and-Bearskins but I look forward to reports from more modern users.

For some reason, I can't get it to download...it says to try again later. Probably a network issue.

Hi David,

 

had that too before... I just tried again and it worked... could you test it again?

 

See you and thanks for the feedback

I'll keep trying, Gerald. It gives me the same error today.

I finally got it to download, install and open.

It took me three trips to your link but it works!

 

The first time the message said something like, "This app is not compatible with your operating system" and the download link was grayed out and inactive.

The second time I visited the page it allowed me to download but I couldn't tell where it downloaded to or how to activate the app

This last time the page had an "Open" button where the download button was before and that worked.

 

I haven't got far yet... died at level 2... but wanted you to know that I did get it going.

I see that someone has taken it to level 15. You go 'CauseWecan'!

 

Added: I like using the mouse to move more than the keyboard.

 

Fun music too.

Hey Rodney,

 

great that it worked and thanks for letting me know.

I think it just takes some time to be distributed to the whole world in the Microsoft store or something like that.

 

The game is installed as an app on your PC and should be available in the start menu of your Windows 10 computer under "All Apps > Wingman".

 

It is not a real program, but an app, which means it is not "installed" but more like a download which is playable without installation, as anything you download from the Windows Store.
(this means it does not change anything on your computer or the registery and will be started in a sandbox, much like it would be on a Mac computer with most software. The good thing about that is, that it is much more secure for the consumer).

 

The game is playable by most available controllers... use your mouse, your keyboard, the onscreen controlls or even an XBox One S-Controller. Whatever you have and prefer .

The audio has been created in Magix Music Maker (way back when I created my diploma thesis actually but it just fitted quite well and for software and apps it really is quite expensive to license music for apps and software is really quite expensive...) and the sounds are created by a microphone, audacity and my voice .

 

And please leave a rating in the store if you have the time... that helps a lot. .

 

See you

Thank you very much David . I think it just needs a little bit of time somehow...

I finally got the Microsoft store to work and played your game, Gerald. I liked it and gave it a good rating. Great job!

 

Apparently, I'm not the only one with problems getting apps to download from the Microsoft store. It took trying every fix I read about to finally get it to work. In my case, it took setting my computer for a "Normal" boot.

Yeah that worked for many problems at work too.

Shutdown -g -t 0 is your friend.

 

Hopefully they will fix that soon. An new update for the game is going to be released in a few days which will give it multilanguage support too. (aside from a few other things.

 

Thank you very much for the rating and the hard trying David . HighLy appriciated.

 

See you
