I think my main problem is I got a bit carried away with how easy and fun it is for me as the developer to design all these crazy formations. Within the actual game, choosing from such a large selection just doesn&#8217;t work that well. I bound 4 very directional formations (basically lines facing in each cardinal direction) to wasd, with the other ones bound to the arrow keys. It&#8217;s not terrible, and I can pretty easily kill the two enemies that spawn.<\/p>\n <p>I REALLY need to actually flesh out the level in some way that I can judge the controls and gameplay a bit better. But I guess this is still a pretty big milestone, so I&#8217;m happy!<\/p>","time":"July 30th, 2011 5:16 pm","title":"Interesting game I came up with."}
