Red Revenge by Skyshifter

[raw]
made by Skyshifter for LD25 (COMPO)
Meh 1st LD entry.

You play as a villain that was the best, until one day another villain destroyed the moon and spread influence to your henchman until you were the only one left.

The game starts with you regaining your pride by destroying the planet Magnus(the other villains HQ) to defeat him and become the ultimate villain of the universe.

Known Bugs:
-If your resources hit 5 and there's a crate touching you, the crate disappears and you do not gain any resource

-Plasma batteries, when activated, will consume all instead of just one

-Drones stack if left too long and ista-kills if touches you

-This is a Game Maker game, so it does not work on anything other than Windows, but WinE would work(no sound though)

(Note: The objective of the game is to collect enough resources to craft an item at the RIGHT SIDE of the level to advance to the next stage)

I am downloading your game now (59 mb is pretty heavy!)

But as you asked about my game, "Earth Destroyer", what does the Bonus Level do.. I just answered your question on my own game page, please take a look there :)

First, let me say this, the music on this is GODDAMN AWESOMELY GOOD. Would you mind sharing what program you used to do those musics? They are really very, very good.

I found the game to be very enjoyable. It does have its share of troubles though... the resources stuff is kinda confusing in the beginning, and at first I thought I was supposed to just hang around and kill stuff. I even thought my grenades weren't working 'til I figured out I was supposed to produce them :)

You could have done a crosshair instead of using the default system mouse pointer for the player's aim.

But all in all, the game is pretty good indeed. I did like it a lot.

I found it a bit unfortunate that the graphics were somehow shocky and the rockets in some rotations weren't very pretty.

- I found it confusing which weapon I was actually shooting with. An overlay text "Plasma Rifle" or something would've been nice.
- I really liked the nice explanation screens, I've been missing those with some other games.
- Those missiles are just mean, luckily you can shoot them.
- I'm not a fan of these kind of games, but I can't blaim you for that :P

I think you should keep going, this game has potential (for people other than me who actually like these kinds of games :P) I think it mostly needs just that bit more spit'n'polish.

It seems quite unclear what the goal is and what you are able to do in addition to flying around and shooting with two things. The music isn't bad.

I thought i already put the objective in the 'Do' screen where u need to collect resources to craft items to finish levels.

I guess it isnt quite clear though

This game really made no sense to me. It was frustrating and confusing.

The music is all kinds of awesome, though. :)

I just moved left and picked up some stuff and then right click on the ship and I won! Yay. Chiptune music is great, did you create that during the LD? Respect. Good idea, worth some time to make a cool post-compo version.

i feel like the mechanics are potentially interesting, but pretty poorly conveyed, even though i appreciated the tutorial screen. it took me awhile to figure out what things were and the purpose for them. this has potential, though. nice euro style chiptune btw.
