All in all, I rather enjoyed the overall gaming experience, I enjoyed the style of gameplay, the overall aesthetic, and the controls which all combined offer the player a challenging yet rather fun experience.
I however had a few issues during my playthrough such as enemies stuck in walls (which was mentioned in the attached READ ME doc), but I also encountered an issue where a skeleton enemy got stuck right at my power source, and despite me trying to kill it, my bullets passed through it, all whilst it continued to attack and destroy my power source- this issue however only occurred once in my many playthroughs of the game so it’s not completely a game breaking issue for me. The other issue I had was the upgrades, when a round was complete it would tell you there are upgrades available and such, but sometimes when you opened the menu you couldn’t afford them.
For that reason I felt it would be best for a system where the upgrade will flash green or something as a way for the player to know they can both afford an upgrade and without being a downer for the player thinking they have an upgrade but simply can’t access them yet.
Overall I had a really fun experience with this game, I enjoyed the overall flow and challenging (but still fun) gameplay and I would definitely recommend others to check it out for themselves and whilst I mentioned the odd one or two negatives (not really negatives but that’s really the only way to define them) these weren’t game breaking issues (except for the ‘being stuck by the power source’ one) and, with time, these other issues (both in terms of features and UI design) would be fully resolved to further expand the challenging yet fun gameplay of Power Source.
Little addendum to all that I have said, I had a blast playing this game and felt it was a challenging fun experience and had an overall cool arcade/Atari style of gameplay to the whole thing 😊 fantastic work and I can’t wait to see where this goes from here. Also I really love the power source effect as well, really blends in with the surrounding backdrop and art style of the game.
