Hey! It's Nitro from Discord.
I had a lot of fun with this game!
However, if this game is going to be based around a score system, I think it needs to have more to encourage risky gameplay for score chasing. If there is a combo system, I have missed it and I apologize, but from my impressions pretty much everything is worth 100.
Here are a couple suggestions:
- The coin chest seems like a fix for this, but it feels too easy to hit it and I end up unintentionally doing so. Maybe have a special golden egg that requires you to hit it with a spine as it falls for additional points/score modifier?
- Harder enemies to kill, like the hermit crab, could give more points. Also, if you manage to kill an enemy in one shot, that could also be additional points.
- There's a pretty subtle mechanic, where more eggs spawn every time you exhale. Extra points for "full clearing" the tank by killing all enemies at once could be interesting.
Also, it would be cool to have a separate leaderboard for survival time.
