Okay, let me make this clear for the judges - this is not a clone of HL:A, and i would rather say that HL:A is a clone of this game.
Story
So in my Revolt server, savaUA was sharing screen shots of his game. I wanted to help him out with it, so he sended the project. As a real HL fan, I jokingly changed the Player's sprite to Freeman's one. It was funny, but I begun working on it harder and harder, until it evolved into my game.
Gameplay
HL:A and Apocalypsis are very similar in gameplay, but still have a lot of differences (and don't forget that these games can be change later in updates). Here are the list of current differences in these games:
| Apocalypsis | Half-Life: Apocalypsis | |
| Turret count | 5 | 3 |
| Boss battles | Probably 6 (never played the game, skill issue >)) A giant epic fight against a big boss entity with cool moves. | (Currently) Only 1. The boss battle lasts for about 1 or 2 minutes, in which there are spawned different entites, like H.E.C.U. marines, Vortiguant armies (not in the game yet), and more. |
...and more.
Audio and Graphics
This is where these games are completely different.
Visuals
Sava's game chooses a nice "SVG" graphic style, which I don't really like, but it fits the game well. My game uses screenshots from the original game Half-Life, which makes the game (and the overall aesthetic) very different from other Scratch games.
Audio
You know what Apocalipsis reminds me of? Those mute movies from 40-s. Why? Because they didn't have sound (。＾▽＾)
Apocalypsis unfortunately almost has no audio (so sava pls fix)
But unlike Apocalypsis, HL:A does includes sounds, and I mean A LOT of sounds. There was so many sounds, I had to delete some music tracks to fit it in to the 20 MB limit with those sounds!
Music
As a time-killer game, HL:A doesn't includes a lot of music, and includes just the classic music from Half-Life 1 and Quake 2.
But the minus with the original Apocalypsis, it doesn't has a lot of music (as I remember). Just in the bosses, which appear to be... fine ig? I mean, it's nice and catchy, but it just doesn't really fits with the overall tone of the game.
Overall, HL:A and the Apocalypsis are similar games, but different enough that I can't really say which game is better.
I don't have Discord, so if my game wins, send all the NG to Sava. He deserves it more than me :3
