Not sure if this is the right place to report bugs. Anyway, here they are:
- When you climb down stairs, the bag will sometimes drop by itself.
- The game doesn't support controller diagonally movement which makes it hard to control. For example, if I'm climbing upstairs and then turn left. I'll need to move the stick up and then left. For most game (including original bagman), I can move the stick diagonally (in this case top left) and the character will move up and turn left. BTW, I'm using Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, not sure if it has any effect on the issue.
- If I keep picking up and dropping the pickaxe and hold it for less than 1 second each time, it will eventually disappear. The 4 seconds timer doesn't reset.
Enhancement suggestion:
- The AI is dumb comparing to the original game. The police in the original bagman knows where you're if you move your character, even they don't have direct line of sight. Seems like they can hear your footsteps if you're nearby. This makes the original game very interesting and challenging as you've to be careful in your movements. You can also use this tactic to your advantage and lure them. Your game's AI only knows where you're if they've direct line of sight. Other than that, they seem to move randomly and all over the place. This makes the game too easy. The original bagman isn't too hard and I used to insert one coin and played the whole day (you get extra life for each level you complete and you can accumulate many lives, see the attached photo), but your game is much easier than the original.
Overall, the game looks exactly like the original, but the gameplay feels quite different. If the AI can be smarter, this game will be perfect. I'm a software developer myself and I don't mean to criticize. I used to spend a lot of time on the original game in the arcade and I hope your game can be its true successor.
