I've been working on Devader for nearly 4 years now and just made a new demo for Windows 64bit.

Still working on Mac and Linux demo. Happy about any kind of Feedback!

Wow thanks! Hey that framerate was scary, what on earth are you running Shocked  Cheesy. Seemed to be constantly below 20fps
There is an option to decrease resolution, that helps a lot with a slow graphic card. I guess the recording doesnt help. The game already set the visuals to low, but maybe I should auto-reduce resolution as well.

Was cool to listen to your commentary, thanks! No idea how you could enjoy the game or find it smooth at that rate Embarrassed

Hey, i played your game and here's some Feedback:


First of all: I really like Horde-Shooters. Easy to grasp and worthwhile every now and then for some time. I kinda do a super top-of-the-shelf critique: The music is... to nervewrecking and annoying for me. It fits the game but i kinda dig techno-styled background music.

Else, the Sounddesign was neat, it was not annoying and i kind of saw everything on screen. Also the enemies are neat, not the standard zombie-alien-super-stuff-whatever. It kind of mixes tower defence with horde-shooter. I like it.

The Upgrades, on the other Hand, are - rather boring. I have the feeling, beside of Nuke/- and your Tower-Choice nothing much more follows up to that. Upgrade that give you a 'percentage this, percentage that' are, to me personal, always boring as heck. I always feel they could be boss-pickups and instead you unlock cool (activated) abilities and you have to make a tough choice how you wanna play the game.

Overall, iam very anticipating the game's release and i put it on my wishlist. Allthough, i tend to only buy games on sales ^^


Thanks for sharing your demo and keep on developing.

Stay crunchy.

hey narsiph, thanks a lot for your feedback! I guess some people might want to turn off the music, but it will never by good for everyone I guess? I actually received some similiar critique from another gamer, saying that the upgrades are boring. I've spent over a week adding "skills", but only on the higher difficulty levels. The skills are a one off choice with your first upgrade. Not sure if it feels plastered on atm but I enjoy it myself.





Thanks a lot for wish-listing. Not sure how to handle sales though... hm. I was originally planning to just never put it on sale, but that's probably dumb.
