Reviews for "Over The Border"
Great job
I think the frustration people speak of is simply due to the fact that you're moving pretty fast and that (naturally) affects the placement of the shots.
Only thing that was weird to me is that more expensive guns aren't necessarily better (to me). Otherwise, all around excellent game, in my opinion. Just enough originality to make it great.
It's too hard.
Even with all the upgrades getting past the border is impossible. The snakes and birds are hard to avoid without tequila time, and the cops are hard to avoid with it. If you fixed this it would be a fun game.
Good game, slightly nerdy complaint
Your bullet vectors follow the sprite (bullets rebound when the sprite does), when they should follow the momentum at the time of the shot. Even in Tequila Time, I found the shooting mechanic next to impossible to use on the faster speeds and it was honestly quite fun to blast away at things until the defective mechanic spoiled it. Please revise the ActionScript so that the bullets do not follow the center of mass of the character, and I might consider revisiting this game.
Hint: bullets are less massive than the character, and should have less inertia. This means they should travel in a slight arc toward the character momentum and then continue in a more-or-less straight line, instead of in a secant to the character trajectory arc. If you can't do calculus in ActionScript, find someone who can.

Tequila time remind me Red Dead Redemption.
