This game is amazing there were a few things that hurt it a little to me. Movement wise it felt great the only thing that felt off is when backing up you couldn't go diagonally upward or downward. The bullet patterns were amazing and the hitbox for the player didn't feel too big or too small. The viruses were done really well the only problem I had with them were that they spread too quickly. While I was trying to eliminate the red part of the virus I kept hitting enemies which helped the virus spread faster. Two ways you could fix this would be to have it spread 50% slower or having the white part come out later instead of how quickly it comes out.
Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback and I'm glad you like the game overall.
Yes, at very least I should have added a specific option for the spreading speed (as is you can still bomb it to death as it appears though ;) ).
I'm sorry it happened to you but your feedback about walking in diagonal is super useful, here is why :
- Walking backwards diagonally works with the schemes I'm testing like WASD to move and CTRL to shoot, or arrow keys to move and Z to shoot.
- However I missed that I also allow some schemes which indeed contain combinations of 3 keys that keyboards don't support, like A+S+W and A+W+O (note that I'm using an AZERTY keyboard so these examples might not match yours), I keep forgetting about these things (2 years ago my game ended with automatic shooting exactly because I stumbled upon some such things when testing, with SHIFT + whatever two keys).
