Reviews for "Aetherpunk 1.1"

So slow...

Basically what Andropinus said (5 reviews below me), and also:

Add customisable controls. Seriously, it's annoying as hell otherwise. I'm left-handed, and using WASD with my right hand is really annoying. If you don't believe me, try using IJKL as up/left/down/right, H as "repair barrier", and Y as reload, and use that with your left hand.

You might as well make the "repair barrier" action automatic. There aren't any penalties for repairing the barrier, if you just got a big rock and left it on the F key (or used a macro to keep F "pressed"), you wouldn't be any worse off.

Also, you should make the barrier repair faster, the longer it's been since anything has attacked it. So, if nothing has attacked it for 20 seconds, it should repair at AT LEAST double or triple the speed. Failing that, make the repair action work with a percentage of the barrier's max health, instead of "5 damage repaired per second", or whatever it is right now.

And the scroll wheel seems to scroll the actual page down, as well as the various menus, etc.

No deaths or one hit kills.

This is a fun game, I like it a lot. There is one small criticism I have, though. The damage system seems a bit messed up. On the occasions I get hit, the enemies don't do a lot of damage so it takes a while before it builds up to a challenge. However, from time to time I get killed in one hit by very weak enemies. I think this is a glitch? I don't know, I hope it gets fixed. It'd be a lot more fun to get over run and go down in a blaze of glory than to just die suddenly for no evident reason.

Still, beyond that it's great fun and I love the theme.

Good job.

Pretty Good

It get boring kinda fast and seems to need something more.
Other than that, the weapons are cool and i like the style.

There are still many issues with the game

I don't think removeing the Mochi coins was the best answere for the criticisms it got. While I didn't read every review I'm pretty sure most people's problem was not it's existance but that basic features were sold as bonus. So instead of removeing every bonus you'd better fix the main issueas with the basic game!
First you should make it possible to save your game and to continue after dieing! Then you could fix some minor issues that were mentioned like getting aether faster or lowering the prices, haveing more upgrades (like upgradeing your speed and your health), haveing better weapons etc.
And then I'm sure the people wouldn't complain if there were purchaseable bonus materials too.

IT NEEDS

a pause button or something... lost a lot of times because of no pause button.
