This game sounds pretty neat. Could you generate a version playable in browser? Or a linux version perhaps?

Pretty basic game, but I had a bit of fun.
The graphics are servicable and it's clear what I'm looking at. Looks like programmer art alright. The SFX seem really loud and annoying when played in rapid succession, like with the mounted machine guns and I'm really missing some music.
The gameplay is simple and I have not much to say about it. It works pretty well, and I especially like that you took the time to make tutorials for everything. I've seen a few games that didn't explain anything, so that's a plus.
I've noticed there are a lot of typos. You might want to proofread next time. I could still understand what you mean, but it was a bit distracting.
Overall pretty good.
Good concept, bad execution. I fell off but could still move to the right and explore the level. Graphics are clearly low effort mspainted. Overall it feels unpolished. And come on, it's Unity; you're one click from a Linux build.
@jason-lothamer added macOs and linux versions.
A fairly stock-standard 2D platforming shooter. The graphics are crude but at least they're clear and easy to understand for the most part. There isn't any music to generate or support a mood, the sound effects are so piercing and frequent that I could not keep listening to it. There is no humour in sight. For future reference, if you didn't focus or build in a category like humour and you don't want to be judged on it then you should opt out of those categories when submitting here.
The energy bar really just ends up being a timer renamed as energy which sort of governs all of your actions since it is actually a multitude of different concepts like health, ammo and the timer I've already mentioned. I would have kept these stats separate to make the game more about balancing various linked resources that compliment the genre. For example, weapons can expend energy and go on cooldown temporarily to replenish that energy, your movement can include a dash or a double jump which expends its own source of energy and standing still replenishes that. In short, lumping all of those things into one energy bar has really narrowed and limited the choices of the player.
Hi there and congrats on releasing a game. OK so first things first, wonderful programmer art. I especially love the rotation of the arm while aiming and I actually find the floaty jump mechanic somewhat endearing. A couple of points that I think you should consider
1. While you do tell the player that hotkey 1 equips the assault rifle, most players are going to expect you to auto equip it for them. 2. You need to add some collision detection at the bottom of the screen, e.g. a "death zone" because I went under the map and had a good ole time walking around off screen before I just quit the game. I'm not sure if it was a camera issue and it didn't follow me, or it was a collision issue and I shoudl have died, but either way, something to be aware of.
Anyways, great job on releasing and keep working hard to improve with every one.
@werlar, the linux version fails to run with message "There is no data folder" in the console.
Linux version fails to run.
@jotson, @red-fan-games. Should work now
Pretty good little platformer. The art is basic but quite a nice style to it. The gameplay is simple but with enough different enemies to keep it interesting. The jumping is a bit floaty but it's set on a space station so I guess there is low gravity? The machine gun turrets were also pretty hard to avoid!
Congrats on making a more or less complete game!
It's playable, but lacks death condition and the VERY loud sound when you start a game is VERY annoying since you have to restart every time you fall. And the windows refuses to remember the volume settings.
When you initially start the game there is a loud smack and it kind of freaked me out. Pretty decent 2d platformer. Could use some better graphics but not too shabby. Good job.
A great and simple game! Lovin how you can come up with a small scope and create it in two days, TWO DAYS. It still blows my mind that people around the world can do this. Awesome Work!
Though there are a few things that this game can be worked on. First of all the SFX, it gets a little repetitive, especially when the sounds are played in rapid succession. Try randomizing the pitch when you play the sound, it makes the sound slightly different and it reduces repetitiveness.
Another thing that you can work on is the polish and feel of the game. Things such as adding a muzzle flash when you shoot, or when the "spikey shell" roams arond, it leaves a little dust particle. Small things that don't add to the gameplay but makes the game feel that much better.
Here's a video on that topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg
All in all, great work man. Hope this marks a great step in your game making career. Congrats! :smiley:
Nice little game. I like the gameplay. The audio is a little repetitive (but I made the same for mine ;-) ). Keep moving forward.
Pretty good, I can indeed continue moving after falling into a trap but the basic mechanics and feel of a shooty platformer are there. I felt the pressure a few times when bullets are flying etc.
One thing though: the noise sample when you start if WAAAAAY too loud, I had to turn down my volume to the absolute minimum and my ears kind of hurt afterwards.
Cool game. Very fun to play. 5 stars!!
