Hypertac



Scroll down for pics and download link!

My first game, start to finish. Use WASD to move and either hold space to fire (slow) or you can tap M to fire fast. Once you run the game, give it a few seconds to load, sorry its so slow. Also forgive me for the large download size, the sound files are all mp3.

Tomorrow I will give details on my little adventure of making this game and some very good advice for other game developers working on their first game. I will also reveal my next project that is much more ambitious.

Tell me what you guys think! Flames welcome. :)

I like it! It's simple and straightforward.

The only real comment that I have is that the explosion when an enemy dies doesn't fit the rest of the style of the game - little geometric bits flying away would probably match better (however, I understand that the little particle sprite was probably WAY easier to code than that)

Very cool! I especially like the music for level 2(assuming it's not random - I only played once). Is the music original? If not, where did it come from?

Good job!

Dear Azh321,

Please use PNG rather than BMP files for the sake of my poor, struggling Internet connection.

Love,
Steve

Sorry, I changed the images. I would have done it earlier after first reading steve's comment but gamedev wouldnt let me into the webspace manager.

The music is open domain. I cant find the site I originally got it from, I looked a few days ago so that I could give credit to the maker but no luck.

Also, im glad you liked the game. Thanks, it means a lot! Did you manage to beat it or atleast get to the boss at the end of stage 3??

Very fun game [smile]. It's just the right amount of frustrating I think. Not so hard you end up shouting at the screen and not so easy that its boring. Keep up the good work. [smile]
