Nice scrolling space shooter game. Where you kill enemy spaceship and there is also a boss at the end of level 3. There is power ups too. Very hard to clear level 1 and 3 . Challenging game. Loads of fun.
I have quite a bit of criticism about this game.
First off, the controls: Whenever you move left and right, the ship "skates". It drifts for a brief second instead of just stopping & I find that it actually gets me hit in some cases. Also, just moving left and right isn't ideal for these type of games as it limits a players ability to dodge the projectiles. And with enemies that seem to shoot a barrage of bullets at you it's kinda hard to dodge them by just moving left & right.
Second, difficulty: Whilst I don't mind hard games, that's perfectly fine, but with the previous mentioned controls it's kind of annoying to have to start from lvl 1 again, simply because you were in a position where you couldn't dodge an incoming projectile; especially when if you were in the middle of lvl 3. If anything, you should just restart at the lvl you are currently at.
Thirdly, the little message that tells you what lvl you're on just floating in the middle of the screen: You honestly don't need that message staying there. I don't mind if it stays there for the first two seconds but after that, it should just fade away. It's also kind of distracting.
And lastly, the shooting: In these sorts of games you should just have to hold down a button to shoot. Some may disagree but that's my opinion on these types of games. Although, there are only 3 lvls and if you sat down and focused you could probably clear this in your second try, which in total may take 8-10mins but, I still I think you should just have to hold down space to shoot -- rather than having to constantly tap it.
Despite that, I think it was still fun to play. It's just, some things you could of worked on. The biggest one being the movements. I can't stress enough that, in my personal opinion, in these sorts of games you need more than just the ability to move left and right.
I applaud you for making a game and putting it out there. I don't know how to make a game so I instantly give some level of respect to people who go out of their way to make a game and throw it out there into the wild.
I give this a 3.5/5.
Absolutely horrible controls. Can't hold space to shoot repeatedly. Ship doesn't stop moving left/right ever. Basic basic stuff here.
Really cool game hope you make more!
this is awesome but easy.
