man my hand was tired though
Reviews for "Star Serpent"
its been forever...
since i have seen a side scrolling spaceship game like this. its great, the graphics are good, the weapons are fun, and...well thats all i can say about it. you need to fix some major bugs.
first, level 2 never ends, what the hell man? second, im invincible! when my health ran out, i expected an explosion and to see my ship to go down in flames, but apparently im really good or something, because i cant die.
a couple things need to be added, like a pause button. a game without a pause button is like saying, "i dont give a shit if you get tired!" another thing needed is more music tracks instead of the same looping 30 second track. (if you have enough space for 30 minute levels then you could add some extra music right?) also, make it so we can hold down the fire button and not have to press the button over and over so much that we develop calluses on our fingers. and for the levels that actually DO END, make them shorter, no one likes shooting a three types of ships for 5 minutes. if i wanted to do that, i would go play space invaders.
now that i have the review of the game out of the way, i would like to comment on WolfsLoveRage's review. i dont know if he reads the other reviews, but i need to vent some anger. that guys reviews make reviews for foamy and knox cartoons look smart. how the hell can you possibly ever think that the "storyline" for this game is trying to be serious? can you not see the sarcasm in the text? i thought it was funny, because it was a joke. making a storyline for this game is like making one for some of the atari games, the point of the game is just to shoot stuff, thats it. the storyline is just tacked on there as something to laugh at. get over it.
Could have been better.
Like people say, some levels go on forever, and probably because they loop when they shouldn't. I figured it out when I was playing the same level for 7 min. I also realized at that point that my health bar disappeared and that I had become invincible. You seriously need to fix these bugs. Also, a pause button and sound options would be nice.
It's been done before
This is another side-scrolling space shooter. Pretty basic, not groundbreaking, and nothing I haven't seen many times before. The graphics were decent, nice clean sprites and bright primary colors, but a little more creativity might be called for. Try varying the enemy tactics and level backgrounds.
As for the levels...I played level 2 for 10 minutes before I finally gave up. There may be some bug issues here that prevent some levels from ending. If that was planned, I would advise that in the future you cut the length of the levels down to a MAXIMUM of 2.5 minutes.
Also, program the "small cannon" button so it can be held down and keyboard damage avoided.
Never ending.
Some levels never end, and the lack of a pause button really ticked me off, you litteraly gave me a carpal tunnel from the never ending pressing of the s button asshole!
