Title: Recoil Post by: mirosurabu on December 11, 2009, 08:39:47 AM Miroslav Malesevic (http://pqgames.exofire.net) and Georg Dziov (http://android-music.ucoz.com/) present RE: COIL (http://www.gimme5games.com/recoil/assets/tiny.gif) PLAY HERE (http://www.gimme5games.com/index.jsp?id=recoil) It was a level design exercise for me more than anything else. The game is influenced by CraftM's Bound Plus (http://www.uik.jp/craftm.html#j1/?ref=miroslav_malesevic_recoil_credits)but differs in few minor aspects. Although made in one week I am astonished that level design took so much time. Anyways, you play as a bouncing coil exploring the dungeon. A little bit frustrating on first few tries, but once you get hold of it, it can turn out quite easy to play. Comments, feedback, input, hate-mails are all welcome.

I think the difficulty curve was pretty fair. Some of the levels might rely too much on skills that you just learned to use (like the flying and wall-jumps), but I guess the unlimited lives makes it more forgiving. So overall, I like it :beer: Title: Re: Recoil Post by: Cheater‽ on December 11, 2009, 03:23:14 PM :) :handthumbsupL: :handthumbsupL:
Title: Re: Recoil Post by: PompiPompi on December 11, 2009, 03:34:56 PM It might be just me, but I think you need to press the other direction for the wall jump, a bit before the particle hits the wall. Took me a while to get used to it. Is there a reason why it's like that?
Title: Re: Recoil Post by: UltimateWalrus on December 11, 2009, 05:11:29 PM I like it! ;):handthumbsupR:
I wish I coulda seen more square-ey scenery like that tree, though. Also woulda been nice if the "nitro" boxes actually exploded. Wall jump control is interesting... I managed to finally start doing it really well by holding left and right at the same time.

Took me a while to get used to it. Is there a reason why it's like that? Hmmm.. Playtesting results didn't reveal something like that, but I did notice that walljumping is tricky when I played it in fullscreen - that is to say on a lower frame-rate. What's the frame-rate on your machine? (hit ~ to open the menu where you can see FPS) Title: Re: Recoil Post by: PlayMeTape on December 11, 2009, 06:22:34 PM I really enjoyed it. It's hard and frustrating but even harder giving up;)! And woooh third place :D!
Plus, I thought the wall jump worked perfectly once I got used to it. You were just supposed to hold the other direction WHILE hitting the wall right? Title: Re: Recoil Post by: mirosurabu on December 11, 2009, 09:38:47 PM Btw - thanks for the kind words to everyone! (:
>> You were just supposed to hold the other direction WHILE hitting the wall right? Yeah, you should press it when you touch the wall. I made it so that when you touch the wall there is a little pause allowing you to easily kick-jump. I should be making an update (must prepare for a good Kong and NG performance), so I am thinking about how to make this more clear. Title: Re: Recoil Post by: Cheater‽ on December 12, 2009, 05:40:27 AM Obvious suggestion: color change. That makes it pretty clear when to walljump.

What's the frame-rate on your machine? (hit ~ to open the menu where you can see FPS) FPS is between 60 to 70. It could be that the time that takes me to press the keyboard, required me to think of pressing it before the particle hit the wall. |
