It looks promising but you should definitely add an explanation of the controls because I've been clicking everything and nothing ever happened :/ I would really like to rate your game but I just don't know how to play it. Tell me, if I'm missing out on something.
Thank you @davidus ! Yeah, I think it's most convenient too. I'll consider that next time depending on which engine I wanna go with ^^
Thanks @lomna ! I kinda feared that people would critize it because using RPG Maker is somehow lazy ^^' People who don't know the basic RPG Maker won't see how much additional code was put in there. (Even though I was really lazy and reused most of my scripts xD)
Thanks for the hint @entropy ! There are two events representing the old guy and after setting up the troops I forgot to edit one of them ^^' It's simply trying to put you in a fight, that doesn't exist anymore.
@goerp I already added that to the description of the game but I haven't uploaded a new version yet. You can always come back to the guy and redo the tutorial. It's only the first dialog that crashes, because I forgot to edit the script.
Crashed on me for no reason when playing level two :/ Interesting concept but there's really not much to do than wait for the next box and drive the same routine over and over again til the tank is full. It would be challenging if the boxes would just keep spawning somewhere or if sell spot would change position after some time.
Two of my favorite genres, I love it! Does the upgrade button (I guess that's what the middle thing's supposed to be) do anything xD?
I had really fun playing your game but it crashed my computer in Level 4 :/ But it's a really fun and challenging idea!
@samot-cebukaj What do you mean by 0? A score of 0? Nothing.
@samot-cebukaj The door opens when it reaches 0. There are several types of doors: 6 different colors with 6 different mechanisms.
@pavel-smejkal You can shoot at the treats to make them respawn, also when you die they'll spawn different. To pass this room you'll need about 15 points to get through the red area. Later you can move back to other rooms to gather stuff :) Maybe I should have made my tip more precise.
@gexalmighty The sad thing is I knew about the bug and thought I solved it but I was too tired at that moment that I mixed up the variables :D There is a fixed version now at least but I will not change my original entry because that would be cheating. I saw some people updating their files though :/
@notgreat The input lag is implemented on purpose to prevent the player from running into himself when changing directions too fast. Some people told me about that but for some reasons, I have not experienced any problems in the developing progress. Maybe I don't have problems with missing inputs because I'm used to the controls too much. Changing that would allow instant turns which would cause you to run in your segment right behind you and die.
I know it's really hard that you lose everything when you die but that's the base mechanic of snake so I'd rather lower the costs of stuff than removing that feature.
I have no excuse for the last thing. It's hard but I like it that way. I just gotta admit that things that seem self-evident to me may not seem that way to other people and I gotta work on that in future projects.
Thank you for your very detailed critics. I'll definitely consider them in the future but I can't change it in this game anymore because I don't have a permanent license for GameMaker.
The game is really fun but the controls are strange for people with a different keyboard ^^' I know that on english keyboards the Z ist next to X but on german keyboards (whyever) it is swapped with Y and that made it kinda confusing to play. Anyway, your concept is really fun and challenging :3
I liked it. Pretty atmospheric. I'm unsure if I even reached the end, the screen just stayed empty at some point.
