A really nice submission, the game plays really smoothly, the visuals look really nice.
Maybe adding some sound effects would be nice, and instead of having only 30seconds having a mode where you can play until you run out of lifes?
Other than that, really nice game. Well done!
Love the visuals of this game, the explosions are satisfying and everything looks cohesive. I love this style of shooter and this a great take on it with a single control! I think it could really benefit from an endless mode where you keep going until you run out of health, I found myself wanting to keep on playing :)
One thing I'd suggest is that 10 health is a bit too much for 30 seconds, I found it difficult to get a game over within that time. Really solid game though, well done!
Thank you very much for the review! It's a good idea, the endless runner.
A intuitive use of the single control requirement by having automated actions. Visually decent and easy to pick up but tricky to get a perfect or high score, nice way to challenge your mouse control which is pretty cool.
The ship feels a bit like a cursor, and im thinking that perhaps some interpolation or not making mouse movements 1:1 would improve the experience. Im not 100% on that so you are welcome to disagree with me. The score and information perhaps could be communicated better than a box tucked in the bottom right, and do we need to see the time in XX.XXXX format? An integer there would be more appropriate. Finally, consider how people will access your game, is the way you have done it the most appropriate thing that you could have done or are there better alternatives?
Overall, a solid submission and a good first game. Use what you have found whilst developing this game when you make your next one and work on other projects. What did you learn about game development that you didn't know before? Good work.
I choose to use the 1:1 movement because the game is supposed to be fast paced and doing the interpolation or smoothness of the movement it will no longer be the reaction time of the person but the reaction and a delay. For the Time, i tried to round the Time into a integer but i couldn't do it. In relation to the UI, they look a simple because i tried to focus my time into the gameplay and i did rush a little bit the UI because i didn't have enough time. And in regard of the learning i didn't learn nothing new it was more like a mind refresh.
Thank you so much for the review!!
The visuals look amazing. I love the use of a menu and the ability to see the controls is a great addition. The animations look great and the game play is pretty fun. Would've liked some audio but that's just me being overly picky - congrats on your amazing game!! :D
Thank you so much for the review! I didn't put sound because i didn't find a playlist that fits the game in my perspective and decided to just go soundless and let the people put their own music(Spotify, Youtube, etc). But Thank you for the review! :D
- This is a space shooter game that focus on speedruns and getting the best score/heath ratio.
- You can only use the mouse for moving the spaceship.
- Each meteorite gives you points but if you touch or let the meteorite pass you lose points and life.
- The objective of this game is to make as many points in 30 seconds
- One side note, you can have negative points its part of the difficulty of the game.
