Always love a good spaced invaders game! Liked that the enemies size changed!
i like the idea of changing the enemies' size to kill them but i think you could demonstrate the benefits and trade-offs for using the different attacks better cause its quite hard to tell why you would want to make them bigger or small or that there's any difference in the amount of bullets fired based on their size. Also super impressed that you made this in scratch, honestly didn't know it still existed lol :)
thanks for the feedback. I was going to add more enemies, but I ran out of time.
The risk-reward idea is very solid between making enemies smaller and harder to hit with a charge shot but also closer to be defeated with the shrink shot. Very cool!
Congratulations on your submission! Here are some of my thoughts from playing the game
Aesthetics
- Text is hard to read due to bad spacing and lack of visual hierarchy
- music is great, it really sets a mood
- losing screen is completely unreadable
balance:
- there is only 1 type of enemy, so having different weapon options don't really matter
other:
- making game with Scratch is based
- game lags and very heavy on cpu despite being graphically very simple
For the different weapons part, making an enemey larger causes it to shoot more bullets, but it causes you to get more points. Shrinking an enemy to death causes it to shoot less bullets, but you get less points. Lastly, useing the giant laser gives you huge amounts of points, but you need to charge it up.
