Well this took almost a year. This project got really way out of hand. I think I'm going to try something much more unique next. I hope everyone enjoys this for what it is. Hopefully people will enjoy it, but its really not what it should have been.

rework the major

read instructions. Played the 3 points mode games. Then played layer cake a few more times until I'd managed to get out the starting point, to get to the top layer.
Then read the instructions again in case I'd missed something.

++ Colourful enemies.

++ Workable walking anim.

++ Shooting code works.

-- Story mode - 'not implemented yet'? Why even put that button in?

---- Ammo boxes don't work. (don't add ammo)

----- They sometimes land in unreachable places

------ When we start, getting into a position away from the enemies can be near-impossible. Once we're away, there is no challenge. Specially in layer cake once we're on the top.

--- Being killed from an enemy as it comes out of a portal can feel really unfair. Maybe have the portal turn a certain colour, or have the enemies be benign for just the first second of their life?

-- Music should start automatically when the game has begun.

++ '3,2,1' is kinda cool.

I think you just need to rework the major issues with the challenge. Make it feel fairer. Make it all more balanced. With more time and care, it could shine.

It's good that you've managed to get the shooting engine done so nicely - something I've not done yet. But as game, it's no fun.

Impossible

It really is impossible. I went on layer cake and ran out of ammo and then was unable to get to the ammo crate beacause of infinitly spawning enemies. They just corner you on every level. Also you put in a button for story mode but then its says there isnt a story mode. Why put in a button for it if there is no story mode.

The character design was actually quite good but the problem was with the background. No one actually likes the linear colour, so i f you get rid of that and replace that with proper textures.

also increase the fps abit, it runs quite slowly.

With these improvements it would probably be saved.

What's wrong

It won't load for me :S, just see some numbers going, going n shit.

Not much point...

There wasn't much point to this game. I couldn't find any real objectives, and it was a bit slow..

However, I will say that you coded this well (as far as I can tell). The enemies were pretty fun to kill, but you ran out of ammo way too quickly.

Anyway, it has potential, but I think this game needs a lot of impovements. Try to get that story mode done, and your game will have more personality.
As it is, it's kind of on the crappy side, but I still managed to get some entertainment out of it.

Hope to see more of your work in the future -

Brian

3/5

Noirman responds:

Thanks brian, I'll try to make my next game a bit more on the solid side

SIGH...

Ok, we don't care how long it took you to make this game as long as its good. But its not! I'm sorry but this game is a mess! Slow speed w/ shooting games just don't mix! Try harder and don't make exuses.

Noirman responds:

I'm impressed that you read that it took me a long time. None the less I'm not trying to make an exuse I'm just saying that I had to stop working on this because I want to be able to work on other things. I admit that this really didn't come together as I hoped but its not terrible (IMO) Perhaps the slow speed was a result of your computer?
