Thank you for your feedback, I haven't yet considered someone using the keyboard with only one hand, but i am working on adding controls to fire with the mouse buttons and that way players can choose with control scheme they prefer. I definitely need to update this playtest with some recent developments but for now, I would like to ask a few questions:
Gameplay wise, was there anything you felt worked really well? Was there anything that you felt was lacking? Were you able to finish and if so, how did it feel when you did finish the level?
I thought the idea of fast-paced jumping and shooting to race to the end of the level sort of worked well, if that was intended. I definitely got overwhelmed quickly if I tried to stay and shoot enemies -- they just sort of overwhelmed me at one point. So my best bet was to just run and jump and shoot to get to the end quickly. It's hard to really say what is lacking in this early prototype build -- I'm sure you want to add in visual effects for when the enemies are shot, maybe blink them white before dissapearing them. That's a good trick to make the combat feel more impactful.
Hello I am looking for feedback on the latest addition to my game. I recently added some items to the game and while i am interested if they are fun or not, i am looking to see if it is easy to use them and trying to understand how some players might tend to use them and why. The level itself is the same for now, except I added two item spawners in the level. One near the beginning and one near the end. In this test level, feel free to collect as many items as you like before you start the fight by attacking any of the enemies.
Right now, there are a total of 7 distinct items
There is no in game explanation so i will do a quick rundown right now:
EMP - paralyzes all enemies currently on screen for a few seconds
Wall - places a physical barrier in front of enemies for a few seconds
Sword - kill/damages any enemies that it touches
Flash grenade - blinds enemies for a few seconds
Bomb - kills/damages all enemies within the blast radius
hp restore - heals hp
energy restore - restores energy
To switch between the current item in your inventory press (H). The item in the first (leftmost) slot is the one the will be used. To use an item press (U).
I would also appreciate any other feedback that you may have about say the energy levels or the movement, etc. Also, if anyone out there is in the mood, if anyone would like to record and send a clip of it to me, I would really appreciate being able to see people play the game. it helps to make better game design decisions. if you want to, you can just share a google drive link along with any other feedback in this forum.
