Nice balance of enemies, enjoyable little game!

Hi all,

I've added some new things.... 

I created a cool warning animation that plays before boss fights. The glow effect in Godot makes it really pop. In an addition to this warning animation, I put in a checkpoint to save BEFORE the boss, so now you don't get sent back to the beginning of the stage... 

I also added a Module Upgrade, that spawns 2 rotating turrets that shoot ball projectiles. 

After I make all the changes to my Save system, I will continue tweaking the stages, and working on new ones... 

Haven't posted in awhile, but anyway, I've changed a lot of the game. I have 5 stages now, a new ability drops called Rapid Shot (after stage 4 boss). It allows you to shoot in arc, so now you can be attacked from above as well as from the left and right. 

Also, I removed the web browser version of the game, because performance wasn't very good. So you'll have to download to play. 

I changed the title to "Solar Ember Rush", and updated the menus. I made a game over screen and ending screen.

controls are different too, you now control the ship with the arrow keys and shoot with Z. To flip the ship, you now press X. To switch weapons you tap S. I also updated the tutorial for this change. 

other things a I did is change the upgrade system, you can get 3 upgrades, and one permanent upgrade after defeating the stage 4 boss. If you die, you lose upgrades and have to start over. 

Game over now sends you back to Stage 1. 

Any feedback is appreciated, since I am learning as I am going. Let me know if its to easy, I find I might have to amp up the difficulty...

thanks for playing!  link below

Love the look of your game. When I got to stage 6, I got wrecked! I like the idea of creating a formation of different ships to attack, defend or heal. Cool idea. 

Cute game so far. I like the bullet hell, mixed with the Vampire Survivor esque gameplay.  Having fun with it!

Hi, I just updated my bosses so they show damage when they switch to the next phase. Added some smoke particles and flickering lights. 

- i tweaked the second boss to be a little easier. 

I also made a new music track for level 2

- i will be tweaking the HP bar, so when you defeat a boss you gain a life etc. 

Link of the game is in a previous post...  more updates to come and any feedback is great!

Just have 2 levels so far of a horizontal shmup. I improved the bosses in the last week to go through phases as they lose health. I also updated the music. For my next project, I am going to show damage of the bosses ship hull, as it goes down in health.

Created in Godot 4.1

Any kind of feedback, suggestions is much appreciated!

Cheers!

Great game! Super fun. 

Good game. Block breaker rogue like, cool idea.

Hard as nails, but I like it! A parry timer would be nice, audio and visual queue or something. Love the art and animations!

Fun game. Like the ideas and game design. 

Cool pixel art. Like the lighting effects...quirky npcs and dialogue.... interested in playing more.

Hey, just one thing, change the camera. It feels like its inverted on the x-axis. If I move my mouse right, the camera should point to the right not left. I felt really disoriented trying to look where i was going lol.  Other than that, really like the graphics and destructible environments.

Cool stuff.

Lol I figured it out. I just didn't see the prompt. Will play through...

Hi, I tried out your game, but I don't know what the interact button is? How do you get through the doors after you leave the ship?

Looks interesting btw. 

Hi. I just finished a big chunk of my game, and only have 2 more levels to go. I just wanted to share what I have created so far.

This is 1 year of game development on the Godot Engine, which I have learned to use through tutorials from the great Godot community. 

Description: You are a coal-powered robot that must find coal to stay alive. Go through 13 levels, find upgrades to get past obstacles, and learn about this post-apocalyptic world! 

The game is free to play and has xbox, ps4 and keyboard controller support.

Any feedback is much appreciated. Hope you enjoy it!

Nice! Thank you for playing my little game.

Like the game so far! Keep it up.

I've been working on this game now for 6-7 months in the Godot Engine.  This game is about a coal powered robot that needs coal to keep moving. You can find coal in crates or from enemies you jump on. You also find upgrades to allow for dash or double jump. The story is still being worked out, but its based in the far future in a post-apocalyptic world where robots reign. You will learn more as you progress through the game, as you complete levels and progress to the end. 

Any suggestions or feedback is welcome!
