My name is Matt, and I am a developer who is looking to integrate the Kongregate API into this game. I have integrated the API into my own games, and have enjoyed Red Fluxion so much that I will offer to do this for free. I’m sure Greg would seriously consider badging this, and the additional ad revenue from all the plays would be a good supplementary income for you. If you are interested, please give me a shout :)

Hi, I just played Red Fluxion and, as the result, would like to fight you. Let’s have an opportunity to kick each other’s asses, because, otherwise, the rest of my life will be spend in delirious anger.

I somewhat hope that the accusations I’ve thrown at you infuriates you. I intended to make constructive criticisms, but after moment’s thought, the flaws were so basic and elementary I had share my anger.

Let’s not pass me off as just another troll! A creator should know when their creation pisses someone off.

I loved the boss battles and the weapon systems.

Unfortunately, the main levels are rather boring compared to the boss fights. I had to invent trouble for myself just to play with the weapons (darting between all the little ship swarms with chain lightning zapping everything and lasers to clear out the rest… fun, but not necessary to win).

Please consider putting more into the non-boss enemy designs. Tracking lasers would be a good addition. Or, maybe have a mode where all the enemy ships are tiny versions of the bosses!!

As a comparison to Frantic, the main difference between the main levels is that Frantic uses much smaller enemies (and thus things get more frantic due to numbers).

I love the artwork style.

Would love to see a hard mode (1-hit kill and more enemies… though I don’t know if I can take harder bosses!!!)

For this sort of game, I would prefer to have a smaller hitbox.

I’d love a mode where you can move your ship as fast as the cursor. That + hard mode would be fantastically challenging.

Finally, I can’t explain why right now, but this game also reminded me of R-type. Which leads me to suggest a new weapon type: grappling hook. But that is just a random wacky suggestion.

You could make a way to change blackground for more visibility. Most of ppl would like to have more levels…I dont know if its possible to make a survival on there kind of game but it can be nice. Different model of space ship :) more upgrade like upgrade energy(the red bar…its just that im not sure if its energy) upgrade speed…currently i have no idea for weapons but more weapons! :D. I just sujest you but im not a pro about these…. Nice Job i like the game keep working!

I great work with your new game fluxion. I wanted to share my thoughts about it with you tho.

First off ive been a fan of these space ship shooters since I was a little kid. you done so much right here. I wasnt a big fan of the music. I didnt like that the shoots don’t feel like they register they should have a sound or animation (imo: space no one can hear you scream or not). Im a big fan of geometric dodge sequences; but i found the save zone to be so small at points it was impossible to stay in using the keyboard controls. The regular levels are immensely easy compared to the difficulty of the bosses. Id spend some time making some stick points in the levels. That and maybe different backgrounds would help make them more memorable. And while im sure you were focusing on the game play so much the lack of a story makes the game feel a little empty. even a simple starwars style intro would help make the player feel a little more purpose. Id like to think this is a beta of whats to come because you obviously have great talent in game design. this just need more polish and depth. cheers mate best wishes
