Good first effort
This would have been a good first effort for a new author. You should have submitted it sooner. It doesn't have the same variety as your other later submissions. It couldn't hold my interest long enough to reach later stages. This could prove to be a better submission with some more work, improvements to weapons, enemy movement and formations, music and possibly some sort of story for depth. As for some this may not be the ideal pick up and blast game.
uhhh no
the game itself was ok but the music drove me nuts it is so repetitive and the it felt like i was doing the same thing over and over again
Not Bad
It can still use some work like upgrades and stuff but you got gameplay down
Well, I've got the control down, anyway. ;) But I knew what you meant. Thanks. :)
Just another shmup.
- No pickups or other upgrades
- Repetitive gameplay
- Nothing that sets it apart from the rest
- Very few enemy types, mostly just straight shots
- Long boss fights, boring attack patterns
- No clear hitbox
- Boring backgrounds
+ Game saving
+ Good ship and designs
+ Movement was excellent
+ Addictive
3/5, 5/10, favorited because it's a shmup. :P Needs more to it. Add some more features, etc.
Recommending The Last Canopy, RaidenX and Space Wing for fans of this genre.
(Note to self: Do more reviews like this one.)
Thanks for the feedback. If I had it to do over again, I'd implement powerups, scores, and more mid-game variety. I do appreciate that you took the time to make note of the good points. I poured a lot of effort into the timer, movement, and collision code.
RaidenX is great. :D I'll look into the other two. Thanks again.
Meh
I like what you have here so far, the graphics are nice and the gameplay is smooth. But like you said yourself, you're lacking everything that makes a shooter fun. You even stated yourself that it doesn't have a lot of things. If you feel ambitious, I think you could make a wonderful game, but it's your choice in ther matter.
I'm working on one, believe me. I just released this because I found it lying around on my hard drive. I wasn't expecting this big of a response. o.o;
