Hi people! I'm Per Doller.
D360 - my first game about protecting the earth from aliens.

Gameplay video: http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ypy3E7Hj2hc

Playable demo(unity): http://pdl-games.com/d360/
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.PDLgames.D360



I need feedback on the graphics, gameplay.

Thanks!

Graphcs look good. Health bars are a bit distracting. Would look better to show damage by having partially damaged enemies light on fire or something. The sparkle effect when enemies spawn is a bit distacting, at first I thought maybe those enemies would drop something when killed, then i realized it always plays. Also the bubble effect from enemy engines is distracting and seems out of place. Maybe color the smaller ships different then the larger ships, they look very similar.

Gameplay was decent, but a bit slow and also difficult. The turret turns really slow. I feel like the first boss is almost impossible. Like he is putting out stuff faster then I can destroy it. Maybe I need to get upgrades to progress, but that seems unfair. I'm sorry but I got kind of bored after 2nd try.

Ok, i'll make them smaller and not so bright.

yeah .. enemies are launching missiles on cooldown, which decreases with increasing level of the game

Great idea, Frank!
I did the intensity of particles of fire depending on the level of damage  and removed the HP bars.


Thanks!

Game looks smooth in terms of graphics, gui, sound - nothing overly distracting or dragging away from the gameplay. But the gameplay itself was little problematic. I was having hard time in killing all ships in time even before boss showed up. It's very discouraging and gives little motivation to try again. I resigned after 4 tries and no progress at all. I don't know, maybe balancing it a bit defferent would do the job. Difficulty is just too high for the starting levels - I would tuned it down for sure (eg: implementing faster shooting, or lowering enemies health bars, or giving a chance to upgrade easier).

I'm so sorry! Cry
