Cool Game play and I dig the map of Cuba!

Developer

Thank you glad you like it!

I love the style of this game. But I caught three rockets that appeared in front of me.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. I have updated the game with the bug fixes: https://adwitr.itch.io/reconnaisance

Outstanding submission - graphics are simple, but really nicely done and consistent, aesthetically. Gameplay is very compelling, and I found myself having quite a few stabs at it before giving up, haha.

My biggest complaint is missile spawns - sometimes a missile will spawn so close to you that you cannot evade it, which made some losses feel unavoidable. Otherwise, gameplay would’ve been a good 5. Would have loved to see (or hear?) music and sound FX in the game, I think it would add a lot, but given the time constraint, I see why you omitted it.

Awesome game!

Developer

Thank you so much, this review just made my day and yes I apologise for the buggy missile spawns. I fixed it in my project and will be updating the game. Really appreciate the feedback

I like the concept and the art style is really neat.

The art was really nice, and the game was good. It would have been nice to have some audio, and some sort of health bar or something like that would improve the experience as well. Good job!

The art is really good but the game felt substanceless: no music, few graphical effects. Missiles seem to rarely hit properly so tension is never really built up. 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I will work to improve the game

Liked the art for this game! Sometimes the missiles spawn on you but only occasionally.

Developer

Thank you! I am working on fixing the missles

Really love the art style of this game! haha, I wish we could have joined forces too! 

overall really fun little game. few things I wish, maybe indicators or for the missiles to spawn a bit further from you. I could hardly get 2 photographs because of how slowly you turn. i think if stuff spawned a bit further away it could have been really nice!

I think if there was a bit more adjustment on the missiles this could be really fun. i think the aircraft speed and feel is good for something that's supposed to be slow and high altitude.

fun game!

Developer

Appreciate the feedback! I am working on tweaking the missile speeds and spawning. Glad to hear you liked the game 

Developer

And I am definitely down to join forces ! Hit me up on discord at adwitr #1164 :D

Hello! Here is my feedback.
I really liked the graphics, especially the plane, and the theme is pretty cool, non agressive-gameplay is interesting to see. The only problems I had are that the missiles are too hard to dodge, since the plane turns too slowly and sometimes the missiles spawn directly over me, or too cosely to be dodged, maybe the missiles could have a fixed location in which they are spawned.
Also, I dont know if it is just me, but the game has no sound, it would be cool to have some noise from the plane and missiles, and maybe some music too.
But overall i really liked the concept and visuals, with some polish it could be really fun to play!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! I am working on adding sounds to the game right now and the missiles are supposed to spawn outside of the players vision, but I guess it bugs out every now and then. Glad you liked the game

Hopefully you will like this better then the original version :D

Hello! I opened the new version, but on the second screen giving the historical context, when i press play nothing happens, I tried it on Chrome and Firefox.

Get's stuck here:

Oh damn looking at it right now

Developer(+1)

Heyy I fixed the game try it now

Submitted(+1)

I was able to play it! It's much more fun now, the plane feels easier to control and the missiles don't spawn near the airplane anymore, its pretty cool! I guess that it just needs some music and SFX and it's done.
Also, is it supposed to not end? I took all photos possible of the last (third) base and the arrow still kept pointing to the completed objective.
But anyways, it's a definite improvement, Congrats!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the feedback and yeah it's supposed to end but I guess that's another bug. Your playthrough has been really helpful!
