Reviews for "Heartship"
really cool game with a lot of great ideas !
I think this game has some good ideas and is overall fun. What bothers me is just how uneven the difficulty level is between maps with a generator and maps without one, and I think it's mostly due to an unrealized idea - that the walking half should be the focus of enemies. I feel like in most cases he is, with the skulls and lasers targeting him, however, bats don't. So you have a case where the bats just beeline right for the guy with the gun who's hard to maneuver while also trying to get him on the generator, once the invincible bats are in the switch's area, it's hard to take it down. Additionally, I feel this game could've used more in the way of color contrast. It's a bit hard to see the snakes specifically as they're so dark against a dark background and move very fast with a short profile. Having them assume the more classic "snail crawl" position of video game snakes and be a brighter green would've done a lot for that.
Overall, creative idea and mostly good execution. Would've loved to see more of a use of Flixel's FX tools of course but not bad at all. Well done!

Yes, the idea was to make the walking part the target of the enemies. The only enemy that follows the guy with the gun is the bat, because I feared if the distance between the two sides was too far, it wouldn't have been possible to reach it with bullets.
However with two targets, it becomes even more difficult to manage enemies.
And considering that a part can walk, it is possible to get closer.
Thank you for making me think about this and for the feedback, squidly.
Great but the skull enemies become basically impossible when there's more than 3 on screen because of how slow your half moves
HealliesGames responds:
Just keep moving while splitted. You'll be able to dodge the bullets.
Thanks for the feedback!
Really cool :D
The game looks really nice and finishing it on hard mode was really challenging because of the splitting mechanic
