This is an unfinished assignment for my Flash Animation class. I'm submitting it to Newgrounds to recieve feedback as to what everyone thinks of it so far.


Please note that the game is currently only two levels in length, and the only power ups provided at the moment are the 3 Way Shot (The Red Power Capsule), and Extra Life (Miniture Ship). Shooting the power ups will destroy them. Also note that there is currently no sound or music, at the moment.


I'm not expecting a great score on this, but please leave feedback pertaining to how I can make my game better, not so much on how it sucks.


I will submit the finished version once it's completed.

Let me tell you something...

If you want feedback, here it is.

First- Make the game interesting. It wasn't. Do something new for a change- like a weapon system that can only be used so many times, or multiple character-controlled ships on screen at once. Something to hold the interest.

Second- make the shots smaller. Low-powered large projectiles are lame and irritating. High-powered small projectiles are interesting and unexpected, as well as somewhat unique. Also, shots should have two of Powerful, Fast and Quick-repeating. AOE counts as Powerful.

Third- for god's sake get the style together. Make the sprites... well, not similar, but put a theme through them. Right now, you've got a pixelart ship, gradient lasers, line enemy beams, tweened explosions and vector enemies. Get one thing going or the game looks shoddy.

Fourth- If you're gonna have scoring, take out a zero. This is mostly a personal thing, but if the lowest score you can get is 10 and there are no 5's, then you've got an extra digit. However, really, you should make the levels interesting enough that scoring isn't necessary.

Fifth- Do your research. Tyrian. Guxt. Ether Vapor. Excellent Bifurcation. Hell, even Lacewing. Use them for reference about style and substance. (all free downloads, btw)

Finally- get on it, my lad. Make the enemies powerful, the character equally so. This game wasn't interesting, but I'm sure you can get one going that is. Go for it. And Good luck.

Awsome arcade shooter

Nice. I like it alot. the explosions were nice and the ship sprite was good.. is that form somthing? anyway 10/10 and 5/5 :D

Not bad.

A great addition to this would be a boss battle. It was pretty good. Make more. Now.

you surprised me

i went out lookin for a easy blam and seen the small score and went to play it and it was really good

liked the design simple yet a bit advanced from the simple galaga

good job

5'ved

and seven stars =]

Nice...

Make the powerups invincible!!!!!!
And for god sake the boss battles are stupid there is no challange at all....
But it's worth playing and it's quite fun ^_^
