[_] [G] Space short game henke37 1302699 I made this.
>> [_] Anon 1302710 it is actually a pretty good game, though i thought that it looped after the first boss. was about to quit at 40 kills but then i noticed one of the guys i killed dropped a blue thing. i thought it was a power-up but it was a mine, i died when i picked it up. i think the enemies should start dropping blue mines after you kill the first boss, was pretty dull between the first and 2nd boss. and the second boss seems to be the same as the first boss
>> [_] Anon 1302713 They already drop bombs from the start.
>> [_] Anon 1302727 they do? i havent noticed any and i killed the boss twice
>> [_] Anon 1302731 >># >># well this is weird
>> [_] Anon 1302806 Why is it so damn choppy for me? My computer isn't shitty either...
>> [_] Anon 1302828 The aiming mechanic is actually kind of cool, but if you're going to use the mouse, you need to assign directional movement to WASD, not the arrow keys (it's weird having my hands bunch up way to the right like that) It does run rather slow for me too. Not choppy (3 GHZ processor w/ 1 GB RAM, firefox, and linux). I'm not sure how you can optimize a flash game, though. A for effort. If you ever improve it, I will gladly play again.
>> [_] Anon 1302837 needs some background music and less of an explosion when something dies
>> [_] Anon 1302838 Core mechanics look good, although the gameplay takes too long to get interesting, and having missiles you can just hover until an enemy shows up decreases the challenge. The explosions lag to high hell. Stop using transparent gradient particles - when they layer over each other they have to calculate blended values hundreds of times. Also simple gradients look like shit. Just animate a simple explosion sprite or at least use multiple types of particles for the bursts. Other than that, it's a good start.
>> [_] Anon 1302840 lol i killed myself
>> [_] Anon 1302844 great, now work on the graphics.
>> [_] Anon 1302862 >># I noticed that the missiles actually lose fuel after a bit, shortening that might help, but it seems like it still needs to be a little long to kill the boss. I'd say introducing 2+ enemies at a time would be a simple solution, and maybe reducing the missile fuel by 10-20%.
>> [_] Anon 1302876 creator was just practicing targeting and particle effects
