If you could please try out my prototype and give feedback and things I could add I'd really appriciate it!

The game gave me a nice bit of nostalgia for the old flash games on armorgames.com and similar sites. I really liked the retro backing track, personally I think it's a vibe. I would recommend adding some more mechanics into the game because at the moment it didn't feel like I was doing much in combat. I know it's just a prototype and I'm sure you'll add in more polish later but its a very crucial part of a game and I feel its important to be mentioned just in case. I think before I can say whether it's fun or not it will probably need some more work done. Hope this was helpful!

Thank you so much for you feedback and I appriciate that you took the the time to try out my prototype!  I am planning on adding a slide motion and knife attack when upclose, I'm still considering whenever or not to change the split shooting or have it where you shoot from the direction your facing like traditional side scrollers. I added crates that you can destroy that give you a destruction bonus but I plan for them to drop collectables that you can pick up, I'm also torn to lock it strictly 2d and play that way or keep the directions the way they are. Thanks again for taking the time to review my project!

Personally I'd probably prefer the 2D style games like broforce have adapted as opposed to the current direction system, but maybe that's just me.

Things that could be improved:

  • The combat wasn't great I felt like it was mostly spamming
  • The possibility of WASD to move and space to shoot
  • On the top and bottom the player couldn't move because of the colliders
  • I wish the player could move diagonally
  • The boss was too easy

The improve list is big but I feel like the idea is good and you can improve!

Also can you try my game ABC Shot?
