since my friend on the terraria forums had to leave for a few months, and i didn't want to work on my main project, i offered to make something for when he came back
anyways, in this game you play as Chicken, a wingless derg who has to run away from attack helicopters and space cannons for reasons by using platforms that just convienently happen to be there
-
wasd to move
enter to restart
backspace to go back to the main menu
this is my first game, so i hope you enjoy it :>
project file + windows download (idk how to github so pls tell me if i did something wrong)
I like the game but theres a few things I'd suggest to improve.
1) When you die there isn't an obvious way to restart the game without refreshing the browser. I can see in the description that you can press Enter but I didn't notice this right away. Could that be shown on screen when you lose?
2) The background is very busy and Chicken blends in to the background. Perhaps they could be a different colour so that they stand out more?
Keep it up!
Pretty good for your first game! Controls and moves smoothly. Think helicopter missiles are a little too excessive and very hard to dodge. Maybe would make the hitbox smaller and have the helicopter have recharge periods so it's not constant firing maybe? Moving platforms later on as you progress would also be fun I think.
thanks for the feedback! :D
i deliberatly made missiles slightly overpowered since the targeter is easy to dodge, but i'll try to avoid nigh-undodgeable projectiles in future project
as for moving platforms, i like that idea, so i'll keep that in mind if i make something like this again
