Reviews for Bitter Pill - Level 1

[xDrLiVinGsToNx]

strong start

I thought the way you opened this was awesome. "My names bitter, im a pill". Perfect hardass, dirty hairy-like charachter. You did a great job with the mood of this game.
Although the game itself needs some work. I found the gameplay to be pretty bland. Normally i would give a game like this a 3 or 4 but the opening was just too tight. I found myself making all the way to the first boss before i decided that i didnt like it. I only made it that far just cuz the opening got me so excited to play it.
Ill be looking forward to more of your stuff.

Metroid?

Reminded me alot of the old SNES Metroid. Good job man =)

Meh, it's okay.

Would've been way more fun to shoot in two dimensions and the movement was sticky as hell, but other than that, good job.

Eh.

Dude, the movement is baaaaaaad. This isn't pinball. I shouldn't bounce off the walls like that, especially when I'm trying to maneuver through things without getting hit. Speaking of, when I get hit, it needs a longer period of invincibility to get out of the situation, instead of losing half my life to one fucking thing. It wasn't that entertaining, innovative, or fun.

Pretty good

Some things to work on:

-Give some invincible seconds after getting hit so you can move away from the enemies, as it stands I just get raped by a single enemy until I die because I can't get away.
-The controls are really annoying, perhaps you could make pill stop faster when you release the arrow key? Or reduce the bounciness of the walls? Maybe even just make him slower in general?
