The update willl fix a few known bugs, add a screen regarding controls, minor changes to projectiles. It is just one level and it is a prototype but let's make it work well now. lol
Thank you for the feedback. i too feel the ammo is too big. Depending on how this game does at the game jam, it may get developed. Only had 14 days to do this.
Added the instructions to the page. I don't want to change my submission. If I do update it, it will be a post-submission download or something maybe. Thank you for the insight.
A LOT of progress have been made over the past few days. There is still a lot to polish up. But some major bugs have been eradicated, some welcomed additions made, audio progress. It is all coming together.
I want to expand the options so you can change the volume of music, dialogue, and sound effects independently. I want to explore some other pathing methods to get more interesting enemy flight patterns, point values or dps values on ships (dps depends on if I implement weapon strength multipliers), more voice stuff like alerting when you hit the forcefield and a warning when the forcefield timer is about to run out, and achievements.
Not to mention the art. The levels have an aura but that's bout it. Thinking I may want to export my blender ship models to sprite sheets.
* autoshoot when getting new guns still happens for some reason * audio levels are not consistent *enemies do not "die" when they hit the forcefield but they do not cause damage either * sometimes the score does not full reset on replay * when you die the pause is really short so you end up hitting "replay" but even noticing you are dead. LOL
Enjoy the play test.
Considering changing the movement but we shall see.
It really has been 2 years since I put this project down. A lot was happening in my real life and priorities had to shuffle.
But... things have calmed down recently. The events were mostly positive with a dash of negative tossed in for some razzle dazzle.
But as of today, I am picking this project up again. A lot is left to do. The art is a disaster and is meant as placeholder while I get the systems fleshed out. I have learned a lot in the past few months and will be looking at a rewrite of this project to bring it up to coding standards. This is not the longest game in history and is going to get finished.
Oh, I hear ya, I agree. I had ideas but this was as far as I could get. 1 idea was for a "wild card" soul that could match anything but gives double the soul count. But yeah, I had to stop somewhere manageable. 100% agreed.
I love the UI! I didn't understand what I was building til the end. So I definitely had to play it again once I got it. I like the sound, I like the comic book style.
I really did like this game. The controls are a bit wonky but I like the idea. Minor tweaks to enemy speed or how many bullets it takes to kill em may be needed. Overall, solid game. I may have missed the stream theme though.
I like the coin use to change the boat's stats. Some spaces feel impossible to get through without hitting something but I am also not the best at wasd controls as a lefty. The increase in speed is a good challenge. LOL
It is a set rotation of 8 streams of 6 souls per stream each with at least 1 or two purple orbs that are randomized. I should have made the purple orbs yellow or something as they are too close to the blue on some monitors. Definitely a big oversight on my part. :-(
