Glad you like the concept!i think you should work a little bit more on bg graphics.
No, I don't think so that he should practice on BG graphics. Because as I think that the color combination he has set that type that the back ground looks nice in it. In the both of the image the color combination which you have used its really very awesome.genecyst wrote:i think you should work a little bit more on bg graphics.
It's not a deep game by any means, but there are lots of old Atari games that weren't deep and were a ton of fun too. Its a bit of a departure from traditional shmups but I do believe the game is a lot of fun.Udderdude wrote:It seems really simplistic, and I think anyone really experienced with shmups is going to lose interest rather quickly. Not bad for a start though, I guess.
I've been trying to add in bits like that and will likely do so more as development progresses. Because of the speed of the game though, it can be difficult for a player to determine which path is the easy and which path is the hard in time to really choose (of course with repeat plays, it becomes more obvious).What I think might help is to design the levels so there are multiple paths, some of which contain more coins but are more difficult to navigate.
I would disagree... dieing costs you a life whether you do it purposefully to avoid a hard section or during a hard section. Either way, you've just lost one of your lives to complete that section.Also it seems like it would be easy to exploit the 'Slow down once you die' to die right before a difficult part and then do it easily.
I like that idea... it would give more meaning to coins than just points as well. I think I'll work on adding this.Make it so collecting coins raises a bonus counter for them, and that counter resets when you die.
A simple solution would be to take the Outrun approach: Left=easy Right=hard.FunInfusedGames wrote:I've been trying to add in bits like that and will likely do so more as development progresses.

This allows for split second decisions without knowing what comes next.
Still playing this game a lot. you will see what I mean. Everyone once in a while, it looks like my TV is climbing up the wall and onto the ceiling. Its a pretty trippy effectEdwards80 wrote:Has anyone else noticed a strange effect when playing the mode with no top speed. When you die and the screen stops, everything else seems to be moving slightly.
