Swami Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Looks great! At first I thought it would just be an Astrosmash-type game for the first few seconds, but lots of interesting obstacles/enemies. One though I had is to make the cavern width varying and/or add an option to make the wall deadly...If you want a higher difficulty option.

vhzc Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Added a new beta. Lot of new stuff: More waves, different sprites for each boss, POWER UPS! Two modes: Normal and Hard. Please test it and comment. Looks great! At first I thought it would just be an Astrosmash-type game for the first few seconds, but lots of interesting obstacles/enemies. One though I had is to make the cavern width varying and/or add an option to make the wall deadly...If you want a higher difficulty option. I've implemented the "wall is lava" feature in Hard Mode. Thanks for the advice 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vhzc Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 I wanted to keep the game in 16k, but I ran out of space for a feature that I really wanted to add, so I moved to 32k, that means that I have a lot of extra space now and it would be a shame leave it unused. So I know I said that this would be the final version, but now I changed my plans and I will more waves/patterns and features. Still, I added a new beta in the original post. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 The player's shooting sound is a little annoying. Kind of sounds like an alarm mixed with a pig getting poked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
