Meh...
The IDEA is interesting... The art is great... The concept funny and engaging... But the sluggish controls, stupid AI and the very slow paced action doesn't make enjoy this game they way it should...
But on the bright side it has a lot of potential to become something more...
Keep it up!
Very interesting.
Reminds me a whole lot of Autumn War: Survivor. You have an interesting control interface, being able to slide and shoot, wallclimb and all that. It makes it awkward to shoot, but it certainly makes it feel cinematic. However, much like Survivor, the controls and gameplay feel extremely sluggish, and Pico is really floaty when you're trying to bust some ass.
Graphics, sounds and such are alright, as are visuals. However, there's times where the AI does very stupid stuff like go the long way to find you, or quit following you because you moved two feet. This made a lot of levels really, really, stale rather than intense like I was hoping for.
Most games have upgrades and MOAR WAPONZ. This doesn't. Which compounds the pretty shoddy gameplay. You could do some very simple tweaks and have a playable, action packed game. Which would be awesome.
Stale
The game looks fantastic and the animation was done really well, however I quickly got bored of the same run and gun slow paced shooting, to make it even worse the controls felt slippery, when I tap a button, I shouldn't have to hold the button down for it to respond, it should happen instantly. It was really noticeable when trying to turn around. Also, you could duck under all of the agents shots (except for the multi shot guys) Idk if this was intentional but it took away from the difficulty. Next time maybe add a few new guns or upgrades.
maaaan! :(
ya know, i really want to like this game. the cool presentation and animation had me really looking forward to it, but when the game is just really buggy and the controls are so lousy-slidy. the game just isn't very fun and thats a bummer!
Looked epic in the beginning...but...
Looks like you tried hard to make this, but the cartoony, sliding effects and non-mouseclick shooting makes the game lose it's Thing Thing epic feel, and I have to stop, aim then fire, which is really boring and slow. And "cool sliding kill" is a creative addition, but makes the game harder to play. Also, why can't you shoot in midair? Playing lots of shooting games, it just messes me up, and once again, deducts more points of epicness.
