Dear All,

I have just finished this project and I am looking for feedback.

Please let me know your thoughts on the game.

Thank yOU

Wow! That game is fun!
The only problem is that you should have some kind of death animation and a longer sound track but otherwise, the artwork and gameplay is awesome!

I voted average and I only played two levels before stopping - so forgive me if some of the things I mention are present later in the game.

Things I would add/change:

*Make it so that the player cannot leave the playing area

*Give the player some character - He looks nice, but different animations for him would be great - for example, he's not pointing the rocket launcher in the direction of the shots.

*have different powerups that will give the player different abilities/shots

*Have a score system - put it where your symbols are, and put those symbols on the other side of the screen.

*When using a scoring system, don't just have it count the amount of bad guys you kill. Because then you end up with a score of 10 or something, when you could have 10,000 if you made each enemy worth 1000 points. It's just more exciting to see 10,000 rather than 10, isn't it? I see this a lot in GS games! I've rambled!

*more sound effects - also, give some feedback on menu screens when something has been pressed (either a fast animation and/or sound effect)

*Why are the enemies spawning on the far right of the screen? Wouldn't it make more sense to have one on each side with the player in the middle?

You say you've 'finished' the game - well done on getting this much done and looking reasonably nice, but with all due respect, it looks like you've just started. Consider the stuff I mentioned, and when that's done, we'll look at it again!

Hope that's helpful!

Rumi: Thank a lot.
Quantumsheep: Wow, thanks for all those suggestions Thats very much helpful.

I will create a new version things you have suggested. Some of them i.e. power ups are already in the later levels.

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

I gave it a quick go, but I didn't notice many changes (the main one being he can shoot up, and the graphic changes for that, so nice one).

Having played it again, I'd also advise giving the player more than one life - game over after one hit is horrible imho - I mean, even arcade games gave you 'lives' 30+ years ago!

Hope that helps!

"Having played it again, I'd also advise giving the player more than one life - game over after one hit is horrible imho - I mean, even arcade games gave you 'lives' 30+ years ago!
" - Thats a very good idea. I was honestly a bit lazy, but then I think if I do not do it, I guess people will also be lazy buying my game . So I better do it. I am working on it now. Thanks for your great suggestions.

Cheers

overall great start

but i agree, more lifes.. some more animation and also the reset button could be different.. took me a while to find it.

also even though when dead i can just walk back out and shoot.. maybe lock it all down a bit.. id say keep going

Ok, I made some more changes and updated in iTunes. Good news is this game now ranks #50 in China the bad news is I am making no money of it as i have made this free.

Guys, i need a promo code please for the GS Pro. As I am very short on money.

I will give due credit to GS at the end of this game or may be in the beginning. Can anyone help?

spock1234

Ignore me on the Promo code. I just purchased the Pro membership. I thank God, i have a full time job. i will hopefully recover this soon with this game. Thank you
