Reviews for "Boss 101"
DarkTimmy responds:
Well, coming from a master like you that is a huge compliment! If it weren't for people like you and the great community here I can't imagine I would get very far. I am planning a sequel to this one and I hope it does well. In the meanwhile I am going to release a few games to help get my programming kung-fu in order! haha. Thanks again man! Best, -Tim
i was playing some avicii over the top of this, and it really went together quite well. great game though perhaps a bit too long
DarkTimmy responds:
Hmmm didn't think of that as a possible soundtrack! haaha! Thanks for the play and the comment. Glad you liked it and I agree about the length. A little trim wouldn't have hurt it! Look for more and follow us on Facebook if you like! best, -Tim
Nice, original concept, but pathetically easy. I killed every boss before I got any sort of idea how they attacked or what the fight had to offer. I think the main problem is that the player earns way too much money and upgrades early on so that the bosses don't stand a chance.
DarkTimmy responds:
Agree! I think I was a little loose with the upgrade and money situation. In the end the game might have been better served with a little harder powercurve! Glad you played an got some fun out of it! Thank you for the comment - means a lot to me! best, -Tim
I think the problem was the battle items some of them were really bad like rocket launcher and laser I wish those battle items would increase in damage with my damage upgrade.
Everything else was great really original and funny game.
DarkTimmy responds:
Strangely the powerups do increase as you level yourself up. Any gun upgrade actually goes to the powerups too. My thinking now is the upgrades weren't enough to notice the new "oomph"they had. Oh well - live and learn and fix what you can. I have a ton of new ideas for a sequel and the feedback here has been terrific! Thank you for the play and the comment too! Best, -Tim
Some laggy movement once in a while
Would have like to seen even more variation in weapons and boss abilities
The game was a little too easy
The last boss was way too easy and didn't really have any cool abilities or such
The dialogs were great ( but could have done with fewer knock knock jokes)
The whole thing with random boss heads seemed pointless, since you would deal with them all eventually by just following the story and the difficulty increased normally.
Weapons weren't too exciting. The Fist Gun was the only real Power-Up and some of them actually seemed worse than the standard gun.
When you get around lvl 76 it starts to get very predictable and boring. Some new unlockables or something would have been great around there.
The Mask upgrades were good, but would have like to have seen some Jetpack upgrades as well.
Just some little things to work on, overall impression is still really good! Great work man! ;)
"Money left to buy ice cream for: $56354624"
DarkTimmy responds:
That's some serious cash for ice cream! Thanks for playing and the write up. I agree with you about the points your making. I see a lot of little things now I could have done to make it a little spicier. I want to bring a lot of that to a sequel. I actually thought about an upgrade to Boss 101 to jiff it up but that would be tantamount to a sequel so I am probably just as well served by doing that! Really appreciate you taking the time to write! Best, -Tim
