nice game
Thank you so much for playing…
Nice game! ....good graphics ...the gameplay could have been little better but overall good game for a jam.
Thank you so much for your great words 😃…
I like sidescroll shooters, but i thought that in this game enemy's bullets were too fast and most of the time you not even have a chance to dodge them. It neede more speed on the ship, or less speed on a bullets. I don't know maybe it's only me but in sidescroll shooters it's one of the sutisfying asspects that you can dodge them.
The art, music and aiming/shooting are good. Good work!
Thank you so much for playing…
I like that you made an arcade sidescroller shooter game like this, I haven't seen one in a while. I think the power-ups should spawn a bit more often, as it took a good bit to get my first one. Nice job overall though!
Thank you so much for playing, the power ups system depends on steps system of Game Maker 8, so it is not often…
Frantic old style sidescroller shooter😁. Fun to play and shoooot.
Gameplay
Nice and hectic and a lot is happening around you and on the screen. Sometimes so much that it is not quite clear what is going on... It gives a nice feeling when you have destroyed a load of spaceships. By the way, you don't have to click. Just hold the left mouse button and shoot 😉.
Sometimes I got stuck in one side of the screen and couldn't move anymore. Also, I did not encounter many powerups...? The highscore screenshot is a nice bonus gimmick and I uploaded one in the comments of the game.
Brainshaker was fun too. I expected the worst but it was manageable😁 and the shakes did add to the stress/frantic experience.
Graphics
Nice spaceships even though they weren't homemade. They did look good. Particle effects also gave something extra to the game. Very colourful and really reminded me of the old-fashioned space shooters.
Audio
Music fits well with the retro style and hectic action. The sound effects were also ok.
Theme
The upgrades are definitely an enhancement. Might have been nice to have a few more or more often. Maybe in an upcoming update...?
Devlog
Short devlog, but you have one😉. Next time maybe a little more explanation on how and what you did.
Overall: Simple, but fun to play and you keep going for a better highscore. Nice entry 💪!
Thank you so much for your encouraging words…
As I didn’t knew how to make a smooth stop at the borders of the screen in Game Maker 8.0 pro, I have coded it with gravity, reverse acceleration, bounce, especially the friction which makes it sticked to the borders, I will learn about it and fix it later.
Learning is always good :)
And this was a good first concept.
Keep it going :)!
Sure sir, thank you…
I liked the choice of music and the art was decently cohesive and nice. It took me until 900 points to ever see a shield drop, and by then the game had gotten a bit stale. I also found I kept losing the ability to move when up against the left side of the screen, which was annoying. I didn't really get the presence of the enhance theme at all, but I do think this was overall pretty decent.
Brainshaker mode is just whether or not you want screenshake on? Might be better to refer to it by what it's commonly known as, though forgive me if it's just a translation thing. I know some people can really be put off by screenshake and as someone who recently failed to give that option herself, I'm glad to see you include it :)
Yes you are absolutely correct, but I have tried as much I make it fix with the theme, if game becomes laggy, then it may be the problem of the processor. You might find it easy to make this game, as I am not a professional game developer.
And the KRY machine (player spaceship) may stick on the borders of the screen which made you lose the ability to move, and I will fix it later, because I didn’t knew much to make the player stop at the borders of the screen in Game Maker 8, so to make it stop there I used a little code i.e. gravity, friction(which sticks the player), bounce and reverse motion, but for that it might stick there, and the shield is dropped from the small cyborg enemy which comes after 500, the carrier enemy after 20 can only drop health.
You can add the screenshot of the game to enter in SCOREBOARD…
