The enemies followed my character's movements a little TOO well, to the point where I couldn't jump over any of them, and the only option was to shoot them (which isn't possible when they are already below you, mind you. As such, I couldn't finish the first level. On top of that, when I was dead, I was still able to shoot and move around. I could only exit the game when I clicked the "X" button. I gave it several honest attempts, but I couldn't really make it though. On the plus side, I liked the sound effects!

Unplayable -- there are no instructions for how to fire your gun. After trial and error I figured out that X fires the gun, but also kills you. Once you die you can still move around but there's no way to play the level alive again.

Fixed above problems

gupta_shvm 2013-12-16 11:20

Except the you can still play after you die. I can't really fix that at this point.

Yay!
It looks like some enemies are turds.
Like it..

Hmm, shooting at the start kills you if you don't move a wee bit. I like the aesthetic though! Agree about being unable to jump over baddies. They anticipate you a wee bit too well.

Yeah i agree with the first comment, it is a bit hard because ennemies are following you pixel perfect style. I like the shaking of the camera.

Also experiencing problems mentioned in comments.

Hey thanks for posting fixes! I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but I really like how the sound effects line up to make a beat like a minimalist techno song.

gupta_shvm 2013-12-17 06:05

@mtinkerhess
I noticed that too, but it wasn't really intentional.

This was fun - I liked the way the guns worked. I agree that the enemies were maybe a little too fast, but it was manageable. Great effort!

Changing weapon make very little difference, the enemies have a very straightforward AI that does little to add interest to the game. The only level doesn't have any interesting feature. Good start for a game but much of the stuff put into the game make so little difference it is mostly wasted effort. You should try to make each thing you add count.

gupta_shvm 2013-12-23 04:52

@tobbez Hmm makes sense. I'll keep those things in mind while developing my next game.

Cool game, love the different guns. I included this in part 19 of my Ludum Dare 28 Compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out! http://youtu.be/EG4kRkM_i_s

Cool, but I would have liked if there were more levels!
Everything was good, but the movement of the enemy's is maybe a little *to* good.
