Hey !

I am looking for feedback on the work in progress of the capsule I commissioned for my game

My favorite one currently looks like this, but I'm not really sold on it.

If you want to take a look at the game I have of course have an itch page, with a video here https://the-workshop-geek.itch.io/particulitix

But I would be curious to get the feeling you get from this without knowing anything else about the game :)

What do you think ?

Hmmm.... is this capsule for shmup or shooter?

I can't see player character but looks like there are enemies there.

That's my impression without looking at game page.

[couple minutes later]

I've taken a look at game page and could grasp the game concept. Though I can see an immediate issue: player's character is just a blob of light which could be mistaken as FX or just a projectile. You'd need to put this blob front and center to immediately tell player that this is the player. Maybe you could add more details cause enemies have more details in your capsule.

Thanks a lot for your first impressions ! Indeed the yellow on yellow for the player and its shots isn't a great idea.

And the shmup isn't that far off, actually it started life as a galaxian clone. That I promised would be simple and only use a bit of particles

I'll note the idea of adding more details to the enemies ! That sounds like a good idea
