Cool :3
I really loved the music in this game, that alone kept me pretty entertained.
I liked the idea of different formations, and they actually worked well. It would've been useful to see which button corresponds to what formation though. Trying to find the right one caused me some lives.
I don't get what this had to do with butchers, I didn't spot them anywhere in the actual game. O.o
Anyway this was a fun and short little game. :)
you were inside the butcher's brain destroying his brain lobes the whole time
It's ok
This was a well animated, well programmed game that could use a bit of work in the playability department
I really enjoyed the premise of the game, voyaging into the human body (as opposed to traversing untold parsecs fighting nameless alien drones) was kind of a unique, albeit a bit contrived twist. That area could have been fleshed out, in story and mechanics, to add to the game world.
The animation and control was, as far as I saw, flawless. There was a bit of an issue switching to full screen and back again where I lost control for a minute, but that's only a minor thing and really didn't detract from the gameplay - probably going to be technical issues there regardless of the skill of the programmer.
One major flaw I found was the inability to switch formations. From the reviews that I read (just a few) it would seem that this was a major innovation for the game. However, I was unable to switch at all. I hit all the number keys multiple times, while firing and while still, keyboard and numberpad, and yet I still remained in the single tight circling formation. This sounds like a great concept if executed correctly, but alas I must chalk this up to a game bug or programming flaw (maybe compatibility with firefox, possibly?).
Upgrades would have been great, as it does get a bit monotonous just firing the same thing and moving around fighting brain cells or whatnot. The possibilities here are vast, for sure. Neural toxins, electrical shocks, parasites/bacteria carried by the ladybug to name a few - the possibilities are vast, and many mechanics from basic shooters could be incorporated into this environment with relative ease.
As fantasy dragon pointed out, a Pause option would be great. Also, the game does tend to drag on a bit, but powerups or a bit more variety in the enemies/object to fight would have livened this up significantly. That being said, I found your comments on FD's review pretty ironic. I hope you find this review actually constructive and critical, as I enjoyed it for a while, but didn't find alot of replay value.
With a few tweaks this could be a great game. As it stands, however, I believe that it's destined for obscurity. In any case, please give us more. Give us some innovation and originality while maintaining your quality of art and gameplay.
Thanks.
Were you using the numpad or the number keys to try and switch formation?
I dont think the numpad works
Fun game
I like games like this, but when it came to changing formations: the numbers didn't work. You have to scroll, which for me is a bit of a problem. Fix that, then it'd be even better. =)
to hard
bu the first minute was perfect
alright
its not bad...maybe you could thrw in like a distance counter, help keep track of how far youve gone, but it was alright, i liked how you could change formations and such.
