Were the art assets made during the 48 hours?
Was all the music/sound created during the 48 hours?
Brilliant, glad you enjoyed the experience. Spent around 3-4 hours placing those notes by hand(Excluding the 2 spamming sections -- done by code), and another 2-3 hours fiddling with the music syncing and timing offsets. Completely agree with not needed to fly the ship, as there is no consequence(death), flying is actually pointless. Definitely will be adding better feed back when hitting notes, in a future update(4-6 days?) -- it's difficult to balance since you don't want to overpower the music with an annoying beam sound every few milliseconds. Talked about it with @fortythreesam, in the comment section below.
In hind sight, i should of spent an hour or two filtering through the project to remove un-needed assets. To try reducing the game's file size. Noticed quite a few people dismissed this game purely because of the file size, which is very fascinating.
Anyway, appreciate the feedback.
Fantastic, glad you enjoyed the experience. It was such a rush to get everything done on time, yet still missed a few key features like the death mechanic, and better feedback when hitting notes. Bare in mind, this was actually developed by one person. Had to get a voice actor in the last few hours, and he(@TheOwenEx) did an awesome job.
Thank you for the compliments they are very welcome.
Interesting, that would allow the player to focus more on the notes. And i agree with not knowing exactly when the missiles will hit, that will be fixed in a future update for sure. Right now those red lanes are calculated based on the missile's distance to the player, so if the player turns sharply they can completely miss and have to circle around. With the floating feel, this will be mended with a smooth follow camera(not attached to the player), and giving the player's ship a random position to move to every few seconds (Within a 1 meter sphere, not effecting our left/right movement). To make it look more like you are actually flying rather than being on a set path.
Thank you for the feedback, everything is appreciated.
Oh, didn't even notice you could hold it down thanks. The red circle means you missed the note, green for a good sync. Also, when hitting a sync, you actually do shoot the enemy fighters with a blue beam and can kill them, if you miss the note they fire a purple beam at you. Just needed one more day to polish it up, but oh well. (There are a max of 20 enemy fighters, that respawn every 5 seconds that decreases to 1.5 seconds later on -- wish i increased that value, wanted the end segment to swarm the player as the image below shows) Cheers for the feedback, will definitely be adding the fail state for sure and more polish.
That's good to hear, spent a lot of time on this.
There is audio, but was turned down since it would be annoying hearing a beam shooting every few milliseconds. We could add a camera rumble effect, or add physical damage on the ship perhaps. What do you suggest?
Visual damage is coming soon for sure, want the ship to be damaged progressively until it breaks apart and explodes. Would there be a more engaging way than just adding text you think? Animations, particle system, sprite swap, etc? Also what do you mean with a symbol, genuinely curious. Thanks for the feedback.
Appreciate the comment mate. If you don't collect the orange circles you can continue until the every end; get's pretty epic. Pretty annoying that tiny problem ruined the other 2 minutes of gameplay though, spent many hours fine tuning it.
Thanks again for the quick notice. Your voice lines added quite a lot.
