She went to 132 yesterday, but It's all on the easiest difficulty, maybe I'll convince her to switch to the harder ones.
And she's pretty damn hot, but I highly doubt that she'd be ok if I disclosed my picture collection Wink

Looks like the interface needs some work. For example, pressing enter on the statistics screen takes me right to the level select screen, presumably because the enter key press registers on the main menu as well as the statistics screen. And I could never figure out how to get past the game over screen. Never mind, I'm supposed to press R, aren't I? That's not very intuitive.

I agree, it's all a massive mess. Smiley thanks for noticing.

I played this at BIGJam and absolutely loved it!

After realizing you made the 4h rpg, you're starting to become one of my favorite game designers. :D

I feel like the disc launcher thing is actually slightly TOO suicidal at the moment, though.. I get a crate by accident when trying to kill people with a good gun, then get decapitated. Sure, it's always my own fault, but it feels kinda sudden.

If you're good, the disc gun is very useful and not at all hard to avoid killing yourself with.

The Weapon variety was really super dope lol, everyone of them def had it's own cool functionality so it didn't matter which one was in my hand I was always having a good time man (except for the pistol of course). I would say all it need is a story mode, the dude def needs a purpose, I don't need to truly state the obvious but if it is arcade inspired def work on making it difficult for the player, making every weapon availbilty scarce and the enemies different. Of course I know you get this, I dig the arcade style of it i wouldn't recommend turning it into another platformer  Yawn ..it can stand out as something we would invest quarters into dude.

Well, it also is the only reason to ever pause and think after getting a crate, and it's rare. So I end up taking chances, and getting myself decapitated.
I think it would be more fun if I got kinda screwed when making that mistake, but that there at least were a small theoretical chance that I could use my (potentially) mad jumping skills to get out alive.

wow, thanks! I will put this quote on my resumé.

Thanks! I was thinking of making a hidden feature in the final version that shows you how much quarters it would have cost if you would have paid one for every match. Smiley


About that disc gun:

You pretty much found out why I put it in: to make you think before you fire a weapon you pick up. The small chance of suicide makes it always a little bit stressfull to use.
As you might have noticed there are a lot of hard-to-use weapons, adding to the amount of stuff to master (which makes you enjoy the game longer because there is always something to learn).
However, most of these hard weapons will be unlocked by achieving certain things. I won't throw you into the game having to use complicated hard-to-use stuff, so do not worry about it being too hard (since you'll be an allright player when handed the discgun).

If you can not appreciate the disc gun yet, I'd suggest you try SFMT difficulty,  in which you might kill over 10 enemies with one disc. Smiley Makes it very satisfying.

I'm just making sure that every time you die, you know why you died, and it gives you something to learn for the next match.

I've been keeping this on my desktop, and have been playin' it A LOT.
1. More feedback on the player death would be nice, a sound or visual.
2. I think the blue symmetrical level could use a little more head room over the pit at the bottom
good stuff

I can't download it completely. It only downloads about 2MB of it (with Chrome and Firefox, anyway). Sad

I played a bit...

I disliked the graphics, they are sort of programmer-ish... And the colours are strange, and the contrast is even worse (like, green enemies on level with green bg... you can only see the enemies because of the outline)

Now the gameplay is REALLY cool, I only wish some levels don't had annoying level design (like the one with a "altar" in the bottom middle, that is really hard to climb to the platforms...), and that the boxes were less random, it is utterly annoying to get a C4, then a laser, and then a nade-launcher, when you are facing only flying enemies... Or getting bazooka in a cramped level...

I do, I have 10800 zombies here that I still play sometimes...

But for some reason this one still resemble programmer art (maybe is the box-shaped enemies, and all bullets looking the same).

Although I know that I would never do that flames of the flamethrower Tongue I have no idea of how to do them.

But I guess that it is intentional, as soon as I fired up the game I realized that the 10800 zombies was by jwaap Tongue

thanks!

this game is really a prototype for the gameplay, we are sort of working on a XNA version, with a proper artist. Smiley I never spent a lot of time on thse, it's really about the gameplay. I'm sorry about the colors, I've also noticed that for colorblind people it is hard to see the difference between objects because the size is so similar. This will all be fixed in the final version.

about the levels: there are only 2 good ones, I should've removed the tests from the demo. The normal green level gives the best and most basic gameplay.

about the weapons: a lot of the weapons are harder to use, to add more stuff to master later on, eventually the gameplay really smooths out when you've learned what to do.
to fix this problem for beginning players however I'm planning unlocks, you simply won't start with the hard weapons, playing well will reward you with them, letting you learn to use everything slowly.

thanks again for the good feedback!
