Decent enough, but the need to push both mouse buttons gets annoying quickly.
Reviews for "Odessa"
ElPandito responds:
Mm, a mechanic was planned to be added where guns would need to reload so you'd need to time your shots more, and use the right gun in the right situation.
Until this mechanic is added, I guess I should just make it one click to shoot right? lol
Really wanted to like this game. The concept is very interesting, but execution was off.
If your engines or weapons are dead, you're mostly fucked if you're in the middle of a wave.
Sometimes the end of a wave would be signaled before all enemies were dead, severely cutting into repair time.
Lives are definitely an outdated game mechanic, aren't really appropriate for free flash games, and definitely don't add anything to this game.
ElPandito responds:
Well, it's a work in progress really, hopefully you'll still be around when it's been improved!
Yeah it's hard. I've seen a lot of folks make their way out with just the engines or just the guns, but rarely without taking any damage haha. Anyway, I plan to offer more abilities/options to the player to escape such dire situations.
Yeah, the wave system needs some work, it's all time-based right now.
Haha, well having only one life on tryhard sure gives me a thrill, but I might get rid of the whole lives system and throw in a save system instead soon enough.
The graphics are amazing...mostly, a few bugs like black cubes after destroying anything in space, annoying music and not having a help menu to even check controls is a bit off. I had to restart only to read the text about the weapons since I missed it
Could be me but it is rather difficult even on easy, unless you can repair the ship somehow, which is not included in the tutorial and if you could repair, I agree with
xXSilentSXxxXSilentSXx, the signal sounds even if there are enemy ships.
ElPandito responds:
I'm glad you enjoyed the graphics!
If you could send me a screenshot of the black cubes that would be amazing, I've never seen it happen!
You can mute the sound ... I guess you'd want to be able to mute only the music and not the sound?
'the signal sounds even if there are enemy ships' I don't really understand that part, but you can in fact repair the ship from the inside by wrenching the red-wired machinery across the ship (there are three sections to the ship : engines, guns, hull, that can all be repaired).
Thanks for playing and giving feedback!
Nice gfx does not a good game make. I honestly went through the whole game wondering what Im supposed to do. Levels were too repetitive and slow to make me want to play it again, and there seems to be no actual point to the game other than "shoot things, occasionally go get some item" At least give players some idea of the point of each level.
ElPandito responds:
Haha, I guess you're right. I plan to include a scenario in the game as soon as possible, to put the player in context, so that might motivate your actions a bit more.
About the game pace, it's ... really slow on Easy, if that's the difficulty you were playing on. I hear that a lot, so I think I'll make the pace faster in general, and separate the difficulties in other areas.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to improve those aspects of the game, hope you'll take a look again once they are solved!
Something's wrong. There's no enemies.
ElPandito responds:
I believe you forgot to press 'Enter' to start the game good sir.
