Thank you and thanks for the encouragement! Yes, it could do with more content and bug fixes, but, you know, gamejam. The issue with movement is that you are (more or less) standing still and the world is moving towards you at different speeds. So even if your projectiles move in straight lines they look “wrong” compared to environment.
Thank you for the kind words :) I was really going back and forth on the gatling sound, bringing in several different sound files and not being happy with them. I ended up with “MP5_Burst - Shot - Short - Urban_Exterior” from SoundMorph via Sonniss’ free GDC pack. Yes, it’s really a submachine gun sound. Since it’s the sound you will hear all game it is important that it is not too sharp, unobtrusive yet packs a satisfying punch. I think it helps that I randomly vary its pitch also.
Hey thanks for the kind words :) Glad you liked it. Missiles are guided towards the enemy that is the closest to the mouse cursor when you fire. It can even hit enemies behind you. The gatling gun fires in a straight line towards mouse cursor position. But maybe missiles should do more damage to really make them different!
