I played your game.  Got as far as "Petrov's hole".  It was pretty fun!

I had a few issues with the graphics.  It seemed like there were some transparency issues.  For example, Rambo's shoulders were floating above his legs without being connected by a torso.  Also, some of the exploded barrels were erasing parts of other sprites.

Otherwise, the sprites looked great.

The controls were a little difficult as my thumb kept sliding outside of the direction circle.  I'm not sure what you could do about that to improve it.

The sound effects were great and the music was also great.

I did notice some spelling errors.

Good luck with the game!  I hope you continue!

You almost finished the demo.

One friend noticed me the same transparency issues, i blamed his phone   but now with two cases i'll have to check the problem.

The controls issue is recurrent in all mobile games. Maybe doing a bigger circle?

I wrote texts with the help of google translator. I'll have to hire an english native speaker to check the texts

Thank you very much for the very useful feedback and encouragement.

Hi,
Your game looks very entertaining! Well done.
Regarding the controls, why don't you try the following.
If you place your thumb anywhere on the left part of the screen, that becomes the center of the virtual direction pad. As the player moves away from the center, you check if he has gone too far from the center. If the length from thumb touch to the center is bigger than the max radius, then you could either move the center according to the direction, or just clamp it.
When the player releases the touch, and later touches again, that becomes the new center again. When playing players will rarely release the touch.

P.S. I'm not sure if you have access to the IP of Rambo or not, but that's a different story. Just be careful as you could get into trouble if the big guys owning the IP notice it.

Hi
thank you very much, you gave me an idea.
The circle will start in the same position where it is now, but if the thumb of the user gets out of the circle the origin will move so the circle will follow the thumb of the user to a reasonable distance, maybe 1 or 2 cm.  When the player releases the touch the circle will go back to the starting point.
It will be released in the next update.

PS:My game is a very humble indie game, I think i need the name of Rambo to obtain some visibility. Maybe if the game get some success and have a self living I'll change the name. While the game keeps in a low scope I don't think i'll hace troubles. In Google play i see many Rambo named games.
