Reviews for "XY Hunter"
Did I wake up in some parallel dimension where people consider this type of thing to be enjoyable? Half a star, because I kind of enjoyed the music.
Utterly boring.
I think that's the best way to describe it. It's an interesting concept, and with further development, I could imagine a game like this being successful, but as it is, the game is bland and uninteresting.
One way you could improve is, as Cyberleon suggested, adding some kind of backstory to the game. Everyone loves a backstory, even if it's nonsensical or poorly written (just look at Seed of Destruction's backstory), and adding one would compel people to play the game, if only to find out what happens next in the story. Also, the gameplay needs more; I grew very bored very quickly with simply lining up numbers and clicking. On my second play-through of the game, i managed to score 755 points, and I don't really play many FPS's on the computer. Increase the difficulty of the game and alter the gameplay to make it more exciting.
Here's an example of a way you could do so:
You are 'the world's best sniper'. You've been hired to protect a client (maybe the president, or maybe a bad guy, who knows?), and everything seems to be going smoothly, until suddenly you are ambushed by a whole swarm of enemies. Now you have to use your marksmanship to protect your charge(s)... by shooting down the bullets, grenades, missiles, and enemies that attack!
Lack of story: What am I hunting? Why am I hunting it? (This could, for example, explain why there is a timelimit)
Lack of gameplay: The "Perfect click" destroys the gameplay with giving 100 points instead of 10, because you will simply move the mouse for 5 seconds until it exactly matches the target coordinates. After finding a "target area", let the target vanish after 1 second without giving a score, if the player didnt click. (I didnt try hard mode, though, maybe u did something alike there.)
Targets should be moving and become visible once you found the target area, this way you would have a 2-part game: first to find the target area, second to accurately hit the target ;)
Keep it up, u can do this, i know it :)
I like it but the target should have say a 2x2 space where its perfect not just the exact placement, but that's just me so carry on! It's well done!
