Basic Enemies:
stealth plane
helicopter
boat
tank
Boss:
large boat (captures joe fish)
I think two more basic enemies are needed and maybe a mini boss. Then I can just concentrate on the level , instead of having just sea.

 next enemy concept idea. Boats in the distance that flick out homing missiles and travel into the players layer. The kind you have to shoot out of the sky before they reach you, or the kind of missiles you have to avoid when they cross the player's 2D plane? |

Could try/have both, my first thought was to have "launchers" in the distance (not in a playable area). They fire with the rocket going up out of shot, then enter into the players lane. I did a post a while back with something similar:  |

Ah yeah, that's probably why I thought of that option to begin with! Sorry for explaining your own mechanics to you  Both sounds cool. You could turn it into a form of fore-shadowing: first you get missiles fired at you from the background that you have to avoid, then later they actually come into view like a sort of mini-boss or heavy enemy |

I like the idea of pulling things from the background in. Reminds me of this... https://youtu.be/1Q_EU3Yo690?t=107 |

"CLOSED"  "OPEN"  Need more of an obvious silhouette for the missile, there's too much scaffolding around it.... I suppose I could make the scaffolding fall apart as the rocket takes off. Just need to achieve a lot in a matter of seconds. Will animate it next to see if it's worthy.  |

I dunno, it kind of works as a weird contraption in the distance. Also, regarding the "few seconds" remark, if it emerges slowly from the water that might add to the sense of dread. Or, alternatively, if the rest of the screen is hectic, it becomes a kind of "sneak attack"

Does it make sense that the missiles hover for a second before shooting into the skies, physics-wise? No!
Does it look extremely awesome? YES!!!

At least one internet person that you've never met IRL (that is, me) is very glad to read that (although I also had no direct reason to fear that you weren't, tbh) |

Wow this looks amazing! I really like where this project is going. Are you in need of a composer? I can compose in any style you may need and I have a degree in music composition. I've already written for 3 other indie games and I'm looking to take on some more projects. Hit me up if you're interested  website: paulmekailian.com |

Currently "Sleeping", but I'll be honest with what's going on. My day job at a local games company is quite full on, I'm in crunch most days. My way of combating this was to apply for government funding, registered a company, did a video pitch etc... but it was rejected. So my issue that I'm trying to get around is time. My current job eats time, and funding which would give me more time I can't get. Which is leaving me to think I need another job to get out of the constant crunch times. Super Air Traffic is on my mind everyday, it's a question of "when" and not "if" it will be released. |
