Thank you for making the game! Gamedev is a cool thing to do. Please don’t my comments as criticism.
A recorded a video of my playing this game: https://youtu.be/IUUp-m9D_m4
I tried to provide some feedback there. I’ll copy some of the key points here as well.
Some random thoughts on the game:
The gun as it is doesn’t seem to be too useful for an average player
If gun stays timed, I would like to see how much time do I have. It’s bad when I’m about to shoot, but it’s out of juice already, so I die instead. :D
If the gun becomes unlimited by the time, add a ammo display. I think it could make the player more motivated to collect multiple gun pickups.
You can add a gun upgrades pickups, make gun fire multiple projectiles at the same time.
The initial platforms go away so fast. They feel underused, since you’ve implemented them, but they don’t contribute pretty much anything to the game in my opinion.
…so maybe add a platform building bonus?
What about a slow motion (time) device (1 time use, equiped like a gun) or pickup?
Some music would make the game feel more alive. Check this out: http://dig.ccmixter.org/dig You can find a music track with some liberal license, like CC.
I haven’t found any reasons to jump. Am I missing something?
The game page has a cute spaceship picture. :3 I wish I could have it in the game!
I would play it a little bit more, but I was scared that it will crash everything due to the Wine issues. :D A native Linux binary would be sweet.
Thanks so much for the feedback!
the game was originally planned to be made by me and a friend, but he ended up not investing a lot of time so I did most of it myself
There were further plans for improvements but I sadly just didn't have enough time. I even wanted to extend the game size and turn it into a real basedefender idea, where you can purchase upgrades, add new platforms, turrets and upgrades and such.
Your feedback is brilliant since almost everything you mention is on the list of improvements and additions (except for the slow mo, that could be cool too though for sure! Maybe as a purchase or something).
Anyway, thanks for the feedback once more and for playing, I hope you enjoyed!
Actually, there was a music in the game. I don’t know why I thought that it wasn’t there. Nevermind. :) I think the music track is good enough and it fits the game.
I don't see a way to download or play the game :c
Same issue here. :(
Yeah :c Like I mentioned to @rwinstead, there was some issue with the upload of the file, should be there now! c:
I just wanted to attract your attention to this. :) I’ll check out your game today. Stay tuned. :D
Hi! For some reason Itch made the file hidden automatically? just made it visible c: Sorry and thanks for letting me know!
