Took me some time to get it running (wrong branch, the more I use Github, the more furiously I hate it. F****** confusing mess). The game is really cool, some things I like less:
- the only difficulty level is impossible, at least for me
- loading time (do you convert the mp3's to wave files or something?)
- the black hole mini game / sublevel is a cool idea, but the spaceship does not seem to be very maneuverable, am I right? I never last more than a second or so.
Suggestions:
- make it easier
- make the screen bigger (kind of a major change I know) or at least taller
- make the players' jet move faster for more action-intense gaming
- autoshoot (holding space)?
- minigame (blackhole) - make it smoother?
Ok time to go god mode on your game and try again
EDIT:
Ok now that I made myself invincible I could "finish" the game. Nothing much to complain about really. The artwork (graphics, animation, music and sound effects) is stunning in my opinion. The only thing I might change are game mechanics:
- The boss in the end takes too long to die. Not THAT difficult compared to the rest of the game but way too long.
- More enemies that take less bullets to die = more action, more fun
- Gun power ups: shoot in multiple directions, bigger / stronger guns, etc
- Slower progress (slower scroll): gives you more time to maneuver. I guess the screen is rather small compared to the size of the ships. I'm nitpicking
Small bugs:
- if you enter the black hole a second time there are no fires raining on you (no enemies to dodge)
- the credits move in a very jerky / shaky way after a while. I was not like that in the earlier versions of the game if I recall correctly?
OK Now I want more LEVELS!!! MORE ENEMIES!!! COOL BACKGROUNDS!!!
