Tile based 2D shooter, spanning over 50 levels and utilizing 10 different weapons. Features a console to manipulate the game however you wish [` key]. Also includes a dynamic AI system, where many traits are manipulated depending on how well you have played thus far (such as line of sight, hearing range and accuracy).
We enjoyed making this, and we hope you enjoy playing it!
Hopefully will include a high scores table sooner or later.

Edit 21/03/09:
* Fixed shooting for Mac's
* Simple ending added.
* Added leaderboard (but only if you don't cheat)

Cool!

The basics of a shooter!

I love it! Don't like top view though.

But hey...It's the best there is for a flash, browser, shooter game.

Next time go for diversity!
Like a multiplayer online thing perhaps? Ability to save your game etc...

good

Overall this was a pretty decent game. It felt like there was no need for it to have 50 levels though. Each one was nearly the same. Besides getting a stronger weapon, there was no feeling of pacing or progression. The later levels looked similar to the early ones, making It seem like the character hadn't really traveled anywhere. The pacing was too constant, adding in some highs and low moments would have broken up the 50 identical levels. The art was ok, I liked the shadowing around the walls, gave the illusion of depth.

How To Use The Console?

I keep pressing the console key but the console doesn't open.Please help

Good game

I have a few recommendations though...

1. Possibly add transitions from room to room. A simple effect which I think will add a lot.

2. Maybe add another element as, say, bullet time. Since it seems that they hit every time, you may want to make it easier to dodge.

3. Possibly, instead of bullet time, make a like 5-10% chance that they miss.

4. Difficulty levels.

Really, this was a good game, and looks like you took a decent amount of time to make it. Good job.

Great game

When it comes to top down shooters it is always good to have an english gentleman beating the shit out of terrorists and to be able to run around different levels. There are some flaws in this game though, one being that it can get very repetative after a while and it doesn't really get interesting untill you get a good gun eg the ump or shotgun. as soon as you do the game starts to get a bit more interesting, especially when you are getting ambushed by 5 terrorists with steyr augs, but the trouble is getting that far in the first place. That then leads onto my next point, when you get far in the game and close it down, when you return to it later you cannot load up from the last level you were on without having to cheat in the console and if you do use the console to get to the last level you were on, you don't get your score submitted. So your homework for the sequal will be:
1) Make the game faster paced
2) Be able to load up the last level you were on with your score still intact
3) I know I didn't mention this until now but what ever, make sure that when you complete the game you can have full access to all of the levels without having to use the console

In all the game is good, but it has a couple of hiccups.

P.S. Can't wait to help with the graphics again for the sequal.
