Nice. Needs some work on the movement though.

Edit:
Looking forward to see the next versions...
The score goes into the healthbar however when you get 100+

Movement is pretty buggy. Also, when you put your mouse in the middle of the guy it makes him spaz out and it creates two of him.

Overall nice game. Stop saying you don't know which section to post it in too. This is fine, or the gaming discussion is okay too.. :/

Thank you. Yeah, I'm working on fixing the movement.

Looks much better and feels more sleek. I was not showing you what the game looks like at 100+ I was showing you the numbers going into the healthbar but I bet you have realized that by now
Looking forward to seeing more progress on this game.

Glad it looks better. and yeah I knew what you meant. I won't be working to much on the game in the following days, because I have to have surgery tomorrow. But I'm try to get updates out when I can.

 

[slp13at420]

good luck on the surgery and another idea for later is a top 25 score list at the end (3 alphanumeric style) lol

Thank you. and yeah that is a good idea, I might look into adding that.

lol even the ship is a Spade lol
how bout every 50 kills a mini boss shows up and every 100 kills a major boss shows up. maybe a random bonus creature that augments your weapons i.e. 10 seconds of 360 deg firing radius.

haha I see. Well I'm working on 10 different levels, where when you get x amount of kills you will progress to the next level, and at the end of the game there will be a boss. But I might make it so, there is a boss at the end of every round.

It is on!

Suggestions:
More monsters, make monsters come from all sides.
Also redo the amount of shots it takes to kill a monster, 5 was good 4 might also be, 2 shots is too easy.

I was actually just thinking about adding monsters from all sides, before I checked back on emudevs. and I agree, I'm change it back to 4 shots to kill each monster.

 

[Ghostcrawler336]

Whenever I heal up from my surgery, I will also include in the newest updates:

• How many shots it takes to kill each monster from 2 shots, to 4 shots.
• I will add a leaderboards to keep track of the highest scores.
• Monsters will spawn on every side of you, and not just on one side.

I will be inactive on development of my game for the next few days or maybe longer. Since I have to have surgery in about 7 hours or so. I'm off to bed now.
