I like the purpose and potential of this game so much i literally just made an Itch.io account just to provide some feedback :^)
I played the game to the point where i had no other upgrades to purchase. Atleast to my knowledge.
Some pointers to begin with, and these are no critique since it's being v0.01 these things are expected.
Design:
But first i really like the design of the game with the old-school windows aesthetic and 3D model of the bullet and the "cash stack" nice concept and makes it stand out a bit from other Idle games.it's nice feeling like you have a big pile of money visually from the stuff you sell. Not much else to say.
Gameplay:
The gameplay feels nice and not to sluggish at all, a little in the beginning until you get a few upgrades/research a few things. this doesn't take any joy away from the game, only note here is that it's a bit short, but with the game being in v0.01 this is expected and totally understandable.
Bugs:
The only bug's i've encountered is the audio lagging out (i ended up muting the tab since the repetetiveness of the music became a bit boring and the obvious cut of the loop)
That and that when you sell ammunition in big stacks and several bills drop on your cash stack the game takes a bit hit on the performance and lags for a little bit (1 minute maybe) before it becomes stable again. Again this is expected with it being so early in development.
Suggestions:
I like a lot of the things you mention in your description i.e. Stock market manipulation and such, maybe something akin to the stock market in "Business Empire" on Android/IOS (stocks have x amount of shares and you gain a % in interest based on amount of shares held)
my own suggestions are probably things you already have in mind but i thought the following in terms of different kinds of ammunition.
- 9mm rounds (Pistols)
- .40 SW (Revolvers)
- 10mm auto
- .45 ACP
- 4.6mm
- 5.56 NATO (Rifles)
- 7.62 NATO (Rifles)
- 50.Cal (Snipers)
- Shells (Shotgun)
- Flak (Shotgun)
- Slug (Shotgun)
Anything else of that sort.
Different kinds of Military equiptment?
- Silencers
- Scopes
- Magazines
- Stocks
Maybe eventually different kinds of guns
- Pistols (Glock, Beretta Colt 45. etc)
- Rifles (M4A1, AK-47 the classics)
- SMG's (MP5, MP5K, UZI etc)
- Shotguns (Remington, SPAS-12 etc.)
- Snipers
- RPG's
Hope you can use this feedback/Suggestions!
I dont' really have much else to suggest or say at this time, but i look forward to see how the game updates in the future and that i enjoyed it for what it has for now! Keep up the good work dude! :^)
