Re: My latest flash game, Robokill 2
#12The game is a lot of fun! I spent a bunch of money playing Smash TV back in about 1992 and this is a lot of the same fun gameplay and a couple of similar graphics. A couple of suggestions:
* Make the weapon recharge happen automatically when the level clears or you die, so the player doesn't have to stand there and wait for the recharge.
* Disable the traps after all regular enemies are dead. There is no additional challenge or fun from killing a few slugs while you run around and collect your big prizes.
* Automatically do something sensible with charge ups and get rid of the store and equipment screen altogether. The fun factor of shopping is not high.
* Make a big cursor indicator so it's easier to see the player and the target at the same time using peripheral vision.
* I would get rid of falling off the edge.
* I kept hitting the map button on E by accident and I want to move it.

#13The last version of this, Robokill, got a great response here so I thought I'd post the sequel as well. We've redone pretty much everything, resulting in what I think is a much stronger product. Love to know what everyone thinks!

Great to see a sequel. I liked the first one so much I paid for it. Can't wait to start blowing stuff up again.

#16I love it. Also whenever I see the word 'leviathan' it makes me wanna go install and play ufo: enemy unknown all over for some reason.

#17Bloody brilliant. Reminds me of Alien Breed personally, but has a nice balance of good stuff all round.

#18I think a little bit of parallax could help with the falling off the edges (making the edges more obvious), and give a nice added feeling of depth.
Re: My latest flash game, Robokill 2
#19it's really fun. i got tired of falling of the edge though.

#20I hate to be the only one who is ragging on the thread. It's really slick & clearly the product of hard work. But...
1) on a laptop the controls are cumbersome (hard to aim with mousepad) 2) the game takes forever to load and then does not fit inside my screen resolution..it's just a tad bit too big 3) the store graphics are hard to decipher (blue on black) and it's not clear how much starting capital i'm allocated
love, zack
