Why do people keep making games with z and x to jump/shoot? It's just awkward and uncomfortable. If this were like an rpg or slow paced game I could see it working, but not for an action game.
Reviews for "The Clocktower"
InnerCircleGames responds:
Z, and X are the typical indie game/ acade controls nowadays. I really don't see how it's so difficult, just use the arrow keys to move, and z/x. i guess it's just something to get used to for some people. But thanks for the bad review just because the controls weren't your cup of tea.
Not very fun, but I appreciate the quality very much.
How about you make your own games rather than stealing Ludum Dare entires? This game was originally created by Dana Gallant (NG name colorvade) for LD27.
Great game!! Some of the random skull-mines that appear in the ground can't be destroyed and only can be moved, and they are not affected by gravity, is that a glitch?
Anyway, I loved it. The graphics and music are cool, but the gameplay is the best. Really.
mute button is a must for every game (I play most when listening to podcasts ,I don't get why there are still games made with no mute button ,especially when they only have 1 repetitive tune)
The getting weaker part is imaginative but the drop off is too big ,having bonuses that let the player temporarily get more/full power would be nice . on the beam level their is no way not to take damage . needs more enemy types (there are like only 6) . add other ways of shooting (3way spread etc). the platforms are useless and are only there to scatter enemy that fall from the sky. instead of it only being about attrition ,add some plot maybe make enemy drop cash with which you can by a cure for your cures from a witch(when you feel like ending the game) . some enemy are too fast and/or the stage is too small. this is bit off topic but how about incorporating the titular clocktower into the game ,maybe with a way to buy upgrades for it so it helps you fight and skins so you can gradually upgrade it from a shabby tower to a fancy 1. my score would not load , it would also be nice to be able to see it while alive .
