Wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing the first couple of times through--thought I was running from the brown hats and "rescuing" the blue hats. Only after the newspaper recap did I realize I killed every civilian I could get my hands on. Cute graphics!
Nice job. Didn't quite understand why I was the villain. The newspaper was a very nice touch, would benefit from some SFX.
(Talking about the game, despite the World News plea.)
Oddly disjoint art style between the newspapers and the in-game. No sound (at least for me) -- would have been nice to hear power-ups spawning and so on.
Twitchy arena gameplay, though -- feels difficult, but like I could learn to be good at it. I should probably check out tilt to live, as you say.
Would have been greatly improved with sound. Also, mixing graphics style/resolutions makes it seem like I'm playing two different games.
Such a pity there's no audio! Also not quite sure how it fits into the theme - but I enjoyed it none the less.
Would play great with Tilt-to-Live controls! Good work!
I really like the newspaper as the intro/outro. The powerups were really difficult to see, especially when there are a lot of enemies on screen at once.
Thanks for all the feedback! Some of these points are splendidly enlightening--like SimianLogic's hint that "killing" civilians need to be emphasized during play. Haha, I sure could have used a second pair of eyes a couple of hours before the deadline--but I really, really appreciate you guys taking the time to type out pointers now. (:
I was confused at first, but got into it after a few plays, the newspaper is definitely the best feature :) I would have rather the wave type weapon be aimed opposite the direction I was heading so I could wipe out incoming terrorists, but other than that I thought it was a cool game.
The sprites are so tiny, I feel like they'd look better scaled up 2x.
Well, simple idea, but the story and the papers bring so much more to it! Very cool!
Nice one. Enjoyed it a lot! It maybe needs sound effects to better understand what you're doing. :)
Fun game and a cool concept. Well done.
nice entry
I like the attack effect of items!
