A restart button would be nice.
I hate it when I just crossed a savepoint, get hit immediately, lose my rocket launcher and cannot restart from that last savepoint without leaving and reentering the whole game.
One thing that I came to realize in general:
The difference of wether a part is easy or quite hard mostly depends on the gun you carry.
If perhaps I had a homing rocket launcher, then a room full with drones and stuff would be no problem.
If I had previously lost that and were forced to use the handgun, then even killing one person in that room would be hard (since it would at least require 5 hits), let alone killing all the enemies in that room!
So the most important skill i n this game is the ability to avoid taking damage.
Since taking damage leaves you with the handgun.
which is more or less a sign for certain incoming death.
So the game focuses a bit too much on ability there.
Or the handgun is just too weak.
the choice is yours ^^
the control panel at the first level was a bit confusing.
you probably should just write movement: wasd
and leave the right part as it is.
Since when you write "w=uparrow" on the left side, you don't actually mean the uparow on the keaboard but mean that w is used to move up.
So just make it clear that wasd is used for movement and everything is fine ^^
Somehow I think there's something strange happening here.
I remember playing a similar game a while ago, with a dad and a daughter instead.
It's strange; as both in the description and even the profile pics show a daughter and her dad, the boy is only shown as a playable character....
I remember playing a similar game a few years ago.
It's a shame that there are only so few explore and adventure games like this. :-(
I like these open world games . :-)
Okay, just finished the game.
A few suggestions:
1.A pause shortcut
2. a shortcut for the upgrade panel (since moving the mouse when there are around 10 new enemies per second is impossible)
3. A better way to go to the level select screen
(since you can't go there from in game. actually you have to go back to the beginning of the entire game and go through the save select in order to get there. which is annoying. therefor a button and/or a shortcut to go there)
4. a proper boss fight and a fitting end
for everyone: there is an end after 11 levels. you just can't really get a feel for it cause every level looks nearly the same, there's no hint about which level you are currently on. And you also can't look it up cause of point 3. .
So to say making the levels a bit different from each other might be useful since literally the enemies, their positions, their extrem-spawning-behaviour,etc. are all the same.
So it's not really anything new up from the 3th level.
PS: Not being able to go to the level select screen is f'cking annoying!
Only choices are going to the next level or going to the game's start screen where I would have do go through the whole local safe choosing.
I don't know how other people here can "make it past the start rather easily". All I know is that at the start my one weak archer gets already over run in the first 5 seconds of the game . And all the few upgrade points go away as I have to buy the archer's health back.
And dying in that level or leaving it early will set me back to the beginning (still the same hard levels and the same weak archer).
It might be right that later on the game might get much easier.
But I currently don't see how one is supposed to get past this first (already too hard for a single archer) level. O_o
:D We will put a lot more things on this one, and we already thought of the continuation/expansion (Basically following the life of the children you can have, on a different place), but we didn't think of a name yet, that might be good :D
The bosses were ridiculously easy.
I had a way harder time with the different kinds of normal enemies than I had with any of the bosses..
Cause in each cause, the easy "run away while shooting" strategy worked perfectly.
Most of the bosses didn't even have a long range attack;
so as long as I didn't just keep standing on one point, there was no way to lose the boss battles! :-D
Give them a few nice weapons, like a rocket/grenade launcher, some acid vomiting, or something like that and it might be more of a challenge. ^^
What's the only difference between a normal islam fanatic and a zombie islam fanatic?
-the zombie shouts "brains!" and the alive person shouts "Allah Ackbar!" while trying to kill you and/or blowing you up in a suicide attack . :-D
For now it is just a demo. Will have enemies and boss.
