Fun game, I love platformers. I just hate how short this game is.
Reviews for "Steel Novella 2083"
Fun but seems a shame that it's over just as it was getting intriguing.
You have a pretty neat little game engine here, but there are a few points which I think need some work.
The controls felt excellent... nice and tight. This made jumping and shooting feel very natural.
The main character has very nice walking animation.
I had one issue with enemy pathing... I don't like how the green enemies can "airwalk" if you shoot the red brick out from under them. I wasn't a big fan of the "superslide" that happens when you shoot them, but that is just personal preference.
A simple fix is need for the transitions from screen to screen. Right now a clone is visible if you jump across the screen. I found this unnerving as I kept thinking there was an enemy appearing below me.
I wasn't a fan of the music selection, but the big issue I had was that it was too loud compared to the game sounds.
Looks good and I hope you do more with the project.
I think you get the power too soon. You should probably see some enemies first.
Fine game, didnt like your mechanics at creating simple keys. I think Arrows + Spacebar was all you need to get 4 stars. Short, like the direction with the music and enviroment. Hope to see your future work, cheers.
