It was too plain
It wa sjust too much like every other arcade space fighter game...
Throw something in to give it it's own flair, maybe that'll make it better :D
Reviews for "Star Serpent"
My honest Opinion?
It sucked.
No don't tell me that this was "the next greatest legacy to be happening in NG". Wanna know why?
It's been an hour since i started Level 2...and look i'm STILL GOING! I feel that this thing has bugs in it still and should be -remade-. Yeah, it's got good thoughts into it and what not...but not so Original...how many 2d scroll shooters? Plus the weapons are all very weak. It'll take me AGES to down anything.
Fix this. 1/5
Dear Lord, you have destroyed my writing hand
First of all, where in the world did you get the crazy idea that long levels equal good idea? That is stupid. Shooters like this should be able to be played in one sitting.
Another thing, since you decided to have the levels freakin long, why did you not think of putting in a pause button? Seriously, what happens if we have to go take a leak or something in the middle of combat? SOL?
Also, why did you have use continously puss the fire button instead of having auto-fire? Did you hate left handers and want us to lose our left hand?
I played this game until my hand started to feel like it would fall off if I tried much more. I decided to have myself die to get the game over screen. I waited, waited, waited, dear lord, I am not dying, waited, waited, dead, waited, dear lord, points are being added up to main points, the hell?, what kind of an idea is that?, waited, waited, waited. Finally, over 10 minutes after I decided to give up I found that all of my waiting was in vain because there was no game over screen that gave you little stats and junk.
If you want this game to be better then
1) Put in a freakin auto fire
2) Make level shorter. The game should not last longer than an hour
3) Make a pause button
4) Do something with the sound so the firing noises are not so annoying and the music does not loop so apparently
5) More detail in the instructions
6) Maybe more story
7) Give the alien ships formations and junk instead of the same old stuff that come at you every few seconds
This game does not suck, it is just not finished yet. You still have work to do. If decide to ignore our advice and say that your game is fine, then it will suck.
If you like long levels you'll love Star Serpent
All kiding aside...those levels man...waaaaay to long. Are we sopposed to finish the game? Guess not. But the graphics and playability are great. You could make a good game. Release another version after you actually play this one all the way through to see what needs to be changed.
PS
release another version, don't let your hard work go to waste. You are almost there. The game is just about to kicks ass.
Nice idea, nice graphics...
...and that's about all the nice things I can say about this game. Needs an autofire feature and a progress meter, at the very least.
