Alex Cline rated Monolith

A browser game made in HTML5.

This was an amazing piece. I give it 90 out of the herd of 100.


There are so many great things about this game. I'll start with the enemies. I love that you have a variety of enemies to make the game interesting but at the same time not throwing too many enemy types at the player.

The movement of the player was phenomenal. It was quick and responsive which is really important in this style of games.

I think you tackled the lock on system fantastically. The timing, lock staying until you fired, and locking on to multiply enemies at once all work in to enhance the tone of the piece.

The smoke trail is a nice touch. Knowing how much damage the player has taken allows them to temperately which up their play style until they heal up.

The camera is the one think I'm unsure on. At first, I thought it was a poor choice to have the camera is. But after I thought about it, it does help to add some panic to the game as you can't tell the exact angle the shot is coming from. So I'm still on the fence about it.

Over all, it's a great work. I'd say this game is like a mix between the original Doom and a bullet-hell shooter. But you mixed the elements, like the five enemy types, with the bullet-hell feel so well that I could have missed it.

Great job! I hope to play more of your games in the future.
