Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.
09/01/08 – 06/22/09
W, A, S, D to move
Spacebar to fire gun
F to fire missile
Shift to switch missile type
Enter the act name (e.g. Stacked Deck) in the code window on the main menu to start at that act
See the Switchblade Guide at www.overkill-games.com for more details.
After the pre-loader, it doesn't work. And if you right-click, the menu says "movie not loaded". Needs to be fixed.
With some adjustments to the game, it can be pretty good. The lack of sound was quite annoying and so was the limited amount of rockets. It was also annoying to have to shoot at an enemy for like 6 seconds before it would die.
This is definitely a good start. The game handles pretty well, but the enemies have too much health, and the radar isn't quite that effective. Also, a little bit of sound would be nice. If you were to change this game some, it would be something I would enjoy. Keep up the good work.
awesome game!, but there is a button to lower the quality? i couldn't find it.
also i saw that you locked the right button options.
anyways, great game 5/5, i hope you get frontpage!
1: No sound. The game loses its realism to this.
2: You can't see where you're shooting...for that matter, I couldn't tell if I was shooting at all. A more evident targeting system might be helpful.
3: You need to explain the controls in an instructions frame, preferably with visual aids.
4: BACKDROP. Smoggy smog isn't very alluring.
5: Potential copyright issue. "I Spy" (the movie) featured a stealth jet called the Switchblade, complete with moving wings.
2/10 for now; I look forward to seeing this game improve
Good concept, lives in the details.
The radar is a nice feature, the wings' movement when altering speed, very cool to look at each time. Also, the speed indicator not as a digital number but an analog instrument, noone seems to do that anymore, go on like this.
And I MEAN it, go on, because with some minor changes you could bag the big one.
Think of new weapons to buy, new vessels, stuff like that.
And adjust the enemy's armor to a value that doesn't kill the fun, it's annoying to shoot at everyone for like ten seconds.
Or, as I suggested, add more powerful weapons, maybe add energy bars for your foes and so on.
I'm complaining so much, because in its essence, it rocks.
Cheers, Z3p.
game but, it needs audio bad. Also the controls need to be polished up a bit. Put a little more time and thought in it. Good luck........vp
