Mabey a bit too late but here are the instructions: You are Matt the cyborg and your mission is to stay alive. Your power is running out with every shot you take so be carefull with evrey shot.
WASD/Arrows to move
Mouse to aim
LMB to shoot
Enemies drop fuel and can be insertes in generators. A message is displayed if you can insert the fuel. When fuel is inserted, the generator slowy produces power.
Enemies do try to destroy your generator so protecting them is ecential.
The generator respawning is the most curious idea here. Usually in these sort of titles the generator has a lot of health and if you fail to defend it then it is the end, try again. I think that would have worked here too.
The fast enemies I can deal with, but maybe they should spawn from the edges of the screen not from a random position. Sometimes there is barely any time to react.
Having to spam the F button is another small issue. Holding it down would be much less annoying.
Ok effort this. More polish and playtesting would have gone a long way.
- Rigidbodies does not work as it should on player(hit enemy and then collision launched me in the top of the level and I could not move for some seconds),
- Bullet physics could be better - it looks very funny, when bullet has side force and goes diagonally, not straight
- Power generator is too weak, it gets destroyed too fast.
After polishing it could be a very awesome game.
I agree with the sentiments of enemies spawning requiring fixing as well as generator health rebalanced, but overall I enjoyed your entry!
