Well I can say this game is fun I do like it I couldn't vote as I didn't enter myself I am new to unity and felt a likeing to what you have here you still have a few things here and there to do I wish to learn these things with you f you would like add me on skype; mk_rules1 or on steam mk_rules1 (Parapup)

Like it, cool concept.

Thanks guys! I feel I did better this time around, though my first game had a more original feel to it.

@mk_rules1 You can message me on the Unity Forums if you need any help -- my profile name is SomeGuy22, my page is here:

Might just be me, but the controls were very very delicate. Other than that pretty cool!

Pretty simplistic FPS, but fun to play. You should probably move respawn points a bit farther, this way respawn usually got me right into the middle of the balls.

Thanks for the comments!

Pretty fun, though not very creative. Would have loved to be fighting something other than large spheres, and maybe having each city say something after you had freed it.

Yeah I was thinking about that last part, but that would get too complicated for the amount of time I had.

I like it, and it looks good; I would greatly appreciate an "invert Y-axis" option, though.

fun simple fps.
Good work!

Brilliant, really cool for the amount of time!

Thanks!

@Darien thanks for letting me know! I didn't even think of that!

Great job! I think the balls are too hard to avoid but you could implement a special power to push them away. You see what I mean?

Interesting - first FPS I've played in the entries, that was cool to see. I think the spheres swarm a little too fast, and the gun feels a little ineffective. But liked the platforming aspect, and movement felt good.

Thanks, nice ideas! The idea stage is probably the hardest one! :P

Quite simplistic, but the key elements were there.

Fun game. But I found one cheat. If you stand behind the boss. You can hit it, without agrroing 4 spheres. Probably should be random mob placing. And it's would be fun to have nicer textures.

Thanks for playing! Yeah I realized that bug after the final build but don't tell anyone! ;)

I liked the game and those small cities :D But those balls move really fast! Also I found a little annoying that I could not see where my shots where going before hitting a ball.

It's instant--you don't see your shots at all, it just instantly fires a ray cast to the point you're aiming at.

I love the concept, being the bug guy defending the small towns. Would be amazing to see this in a real setting, like a small country for example. I missed to see the bullets flying in front of me, at first it's hard to tell if it's a hit or a miss. Good entry with a unique style !

It's an interesting game. I had the most fun when luring the spheres off ledges to their doom rather than the shooting aspect of it. Perhaps a mechanic to explore in future LD?

Regardless, good job!

Wow I really like that game! The controls are really smooth (after adjusting the mouse sensitivity, thanks for that!) and the graphics are simple, but they fit! The respawn position in the boss battle was too close, maybe the boss should regenerate health to make it a bit harder.

That was pretty fun. I enjoyed playing it. Good job.

Thanks for the comments! Yeah I purposely left in dodging the spheres because its fun!

I'm hoping @dogbomb plays this in his review!

Interesting game, I died and respawned at every battle. Maybe the shots are not registering accurately?? Nice job though.

Good idea, and good grahics.

Thanks, but I don't know why the shots are not registering for you? There's a set range so if you try to snipe enemies out of range it doesn't hit. You have to be close to shoot things.

The graphics look epic!

I loved the sounds!

The enemies definitely had that low budget B-movie feel, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. If they felt a bit more sentient, who knows, maybe they could be quite creepy?

Most LD games don't provide the player with options, so it's nice that you thought of that. There were some nice touches like the footsteps, and I liked the platforming element. Good job!

Thanks a lot guys! I've had some experience making the graphics look as best as possible with Unity Free, and I've learned from playing Limbo that ambient sounds make all the difference.

@ilo - you're right, if I had improved the sounds and maybe added some more effects, the sphere's "low-budget" look could've tricked the player, and thus made them extra creepy. Something I'll remember for next LD!

Invert Y is a funny thing, but there are some old-school types who started playing FPS games with it turned on, and we can't handle it the other way. I'm exaggerating a little...I can handle it, but it's really not natural flow and it really hurts my reaction time.

Here's another thing about Unity -- the default mouse sensitivity for almost every Unity game (for me and a lot of other people) is like 5 times too high. For this game, having it around 2 or 3 made the game feel approximately like a mainstream FPS. I think the default is 10. If you're going to stick with Unity, you should keep that in mind.

This is not something I usually comment on, but the fonts in this were awesome. They actually added to the game.

The environment was pretty good. I immediately liked the tiny cities. But hitting the spheres without invert-Y was a problem (now you know). The shots looked cool, but I wasn't shooting them correctly. I don't blame you for that.

In the end I died a lot and that was about it. But congrats on a great looking game.

Thanks for playing! Sorry the sensitivity didn't work out... My mouse is apparently very low sensitivity and I'm used to playing games with it all the way up (pro gamer style).

Invert Y is definitely something I'll add to my base code, and expect it to be in next LD's game!

The fonts were from www.dafont.com in case you wanted to see some other cool ones! (And you can check the source files for the ones I used)

A complete FPS for Ludum Dare is no small feat! However, an FPS requires a certain level of polish to really be fun and I don't think this entry quite has it. Please don't take that too hard; I still think this is an amazing accomplishment!

The controls felt a little clunky. I can't quite put my finger on why though. The physics of the gun were annoying for me; it doesn't shoot very far but the shots reach their target instantly, so you can't tell at what distance it will start working, and end up just firing constantly as you run closer and closer to your targets. At the distance it does start working, all the spheres tend to gang up on you and start pushing you around and the whole thing just doesn't feel too rewarding, interactive or fun as it is.

You might want to check that the sphere movement is framerate independent; I'd be surprised if they are supposed to attack me as fast as they do (if two are attacking, I can backpedal but I will NEVER shoot them both before I'm hit, and I'm no stranger to FPS's).

The graphics are pretty good but representing whatever you are rescuing as a little pile of boxes is way too abstract. They come off looking like they're people but they're already dead or worse. If those are supposed to be cities than you should give them more detail and maybe adjust the camera FOV so that the player feels larger; I don't get any sense of scale from playing it.

The music is quite good but the sounds are really annoying.

Like I said, though, an FPS takes a LOT of work, good job!

Thanks for that criticism, you said some problems I didn't even realize until now!

The spheres use FixedUpdate in Unity's Javascript, and I think that's not framerate independent (though I haven't really checked so that may be wrong).
I didn't any time at all to work on any models other than the spaceship and gun, so I just relied on lightmapping to make them look good.
The controls being clunky is something I have to disagree on. I work a lot on making the controls as smooth as possible and I do a lot of adjusting movement speeds, jump height and speed, and if there's any "clunkyness" I don't exactly know what its supposed to be other than what I had. Maybe the character was just too slow?

Anyways thanks for giving some honest critiques, I applaud you for that!

nice, i think this is the first fps I played in this competition so far.

Nice. Would only suggest making the controls a bit less responsive.

Thanks!

@azurenimbus never heard of "too responsive" before! :P Do you mean he accelerates too fast?

really good.. especially for 48 hours :) love the enemy sound

Thanks! Me too :3
