I am going through all submissions to make all developers aware of an important Google form I've made.
I'm joining the IQ folks to help organize smaller events in between the main FQ event in order to help prevent us from getting too many games in main events. Right now, I have a planned structure for these events but I would like to hear from everyone who was in this event in order to tune things better. The survey is a bit long, but it covers as much as I could think of. If you can take the time to do the survey by June 1st, I would immensely appreciate it!
You can find the form here: https://forms.gle/P9LPYwERhJtpZzteA
A nice space shooter demo!
Needs some sound effects though.
thank you! yes, sfx would be nice
You're off to a great start, and this game has potential. This may still be early in development, and you plan to add all of this, but based on what's there...
THE GOOD:
1. Music is excellent and very fitting for a sci-fi space shooter!
2. Artwork is good, and the enemy ships have a nice variety.
3. Attacks connect with the enemy, and explosions look great!
SUGGESTIONS:
1. Aside from the music... there are no sound effects. No shooting sound, no explosions, beeps, or chimes for when you acquire a 1-up or power-up. That would add a lot to the game. For example, you can find some free sounds on various websites: freesounds.org. Just check each sound's copyright to make sure you can use it.
2. It was pretty easy. Enemies didn't fire at you, they moved slowly, and they appeared one at a time. They should fire at you, and maybe you have them come out in groups/various formations... a horizontal or vertical line, box-shaped, U-shaped, etc. Make me mash my attack and throw more at me. Maybe even give some a shield you have to break through before you can kill it.
3. Some enemies appeared off-screen and were only partially visible. This made it frustrating when attempting to attack them. Since it was mouse only and a game played on my browser... if I went over too far to kill that enemy... if my mouse went off screen, my ship froze. Maybe try to keep all enemies fully on screen?
4. Level transitions felt clunky and quick. Maybe add some sort of text or a quick animation indicating you moved on to the next stage?
5. More power-ups would add a lot, as well. Spread shot, a bomb, increased speed, laser beam, etc.
OVERALL:
1. Overall Fun: It could be more challenging, and you could throw more at the player. Plus, more power-ups would go a really long way. That would add a bit more variety to the game.
2. Art/Graphics: This is the category I scored the highest. Very nice ship art, background of space and animations looked really good! Thumbs up here!
3. Controls/UI: Easy to control the ship, and it felt fluid. All attacks connected, and I was never confused with controls or what was happening.
4. Sound/Music: Great music but 0 sound effects.
thank you for your mail! ok, sfx would be nice. I had to make the x-range of the enemies smaller, that no one is partially seen. yes, some extras would be nice
Nicce demo, a little too easy
yes, there should be more level with increasing difficulty
Fun space shooter would like the difficulty to escalate quicker and would try to get the explosions to spawn more centered
yes, an extra to collect which make you faster would be nice
Very fun game! Easy to learn the controls for and, well made!
thank you!
For now, I think having shorter explosion animations with a more profound explosion sound would make the game infinitely better.
yes, you are right!
