Hallo,

Thank you for sharing your game. I’ve already saved its RATING;

1. verified: GAME due to observed in SUBMISSIONS LIST; keyphrase: Play in browser; read: from GAME TITLE, “DOCTOR AWAY”

2. observed: noticeable background music; remembers: modernized version of super family computer games, keyphrase: Castlevania series; remembers: in ENDING tune, YAMAHA keyboard’s VIBRA-PHONE instrument setting; adds: MIDI tunes from pocket monsters (GameBoy)

3. verified: GAMEPLAY to be of using MACHINE GUN against incoming enemies; observed: noticeable use of Math techniques, e.g. Triangles, to identify the correct direction of the projectiles;

4. observed: classifying by created world select keyphrases, e.g. doctors, hospital, as enemies and enemy territory causes a noticeable variation in their understood correct significance

5. opts: for the following as BEST ENDING in this version; read: "...it's still incomplete. So far there's only one level, but I will add more in the future."

Thank you. Health!

I love it when these clichés are taken literally. This could be the start of a cool adventure!

Thank you!! ^^

Good start to a fun game! The art is cute and fits the theme. As you stated its a bit short, but the foundation is there and it shouldn't be too hard to add more levels. It seems like the shooting sound is attached to the bullet object or something, because the sound stops when the bullet is destroyed. This often means that the shooting sound just cuts off which is a bit harsh. Overall nice start!

Thank you for the feedback!! I already fixed the bullet audio, but I'll wait until the voting ends to update it.

This was a fun little game. The graphics were great for a retro top down shooter and the music fit the game. Nice job!

That was a very short, wild ride as a seriously pissed off apple.

The Fantastic Tale of Rayna

For a first game you already got the basis right. The pixel art is good. You got a nice ambiance for the title screen, I especially liked the "help" page, the control sprites are beautiful.

It's obviously a bit short and a few things could be improved. The one I would brought first would be to give the player some feedback so he knows he finished the level. Just a sound playing and maybe a message appearing.

Keep up the good work!

Everything! (but the kitchen sink)

I really like what you did with the theme. Very creative :)

I suggest you use a custom WebGL template like this one: https://github.com/greggman/better-unity-webgl-template

We're in the same boat

Great theme interpretation, for me it was the best point to mention here. Nice innovation, too!

Great graphics and theme interpretation!

I noticed the sound effect when firing seems to cut off as soon as the bullet impacts, I'm guessing the audio source is probably attached to the bullet itself. Just in case this is useful to you: I usually find an audio source on the player / some other persistent object and using AudioSource.PlayOneShot is the easiest way to handle this sort of repeating sound effect.

thank you so much!! I was trying to figure out how to solve this problem. I'll be fixing that asap. Thanks again for the help and feedback 😊
