Colored bullets for Cavadius...Yay or nay?

Post by ForteMP3 »

This has been bugging me. Some people on another forum have complained about the fact the bullets I'm using in Cavadius are shades of grey. I went with this to try and maintain the Gradius theme, but apparently that isn't gonna work with some people. however, I'm not able to completely replace the classic bullets, so I came up with a compromise...A Bullet Color option in the Game Options that lets you swap between Classic (Gradius Grey) and Manic (Blue and Pink and stuff).

Below are some shots of the colored bullets. Do these look alright, or should I change the shades?

So pretty, but SO PAINFUL!

Call his pink bullets a girly color and you'll be sorry.

Get blown up by the rainbow. Taste the rainbow.

Colored shots are a heresy in my book, but hey.. it might be fun to play that way once in awhile. The colors seem fine to me, though.

Make an option out of it if it's not too much trouble...
Great job on the shmup btw (downed it like 2 hours ago and have been playing it since). Personally, i do not have a preference (grey or coloured) but it's always nice to include such thing (eye-candy... mmm)

I like having both the colours, but I do prefer those colour bullets for sure.

Color bullets have been added as an Optional feature. The new demo can be downloaded from the recently opened Cavadius Homepage.

Pay the forum a visit too if you feel so inclined.
