Egyptian Space Invaders From The Asteroids

Archive: 5 posts


This is my twin stick shooter. It started as me making geometry wars and then it became a joke and turned back into a real game. lol

I feel that for the most part it's pretty good. I have a good visual style, clearly defined game mechanics, multiplayer, easter eggs, hidden features, menu, game modes, and even catchy phrases yelled by the pilot.

If there is one thing wrong with it I'd have to say that it's too hard. No one seems to get to the mothermyd boss. I hold the highscore and I always die at the mid boss. And I'm working on a opening movie to play when you hit play but I'm terrible with cameras. Idk how to get them to work how I want them to. That's why you can't go back to the main menu once you pick an option lol I couldn't get the camera to turn off so I put a destructor on it XD

But all that aside I'd like to get some feedback and some plays. I keep getting told that it's epic for what it is but I don't really believe it lol.

I know the ships and bullets (well the enemy bullets fit perfect to me) don't really match the cardboard cut out style of the background but I'm not real motivated to COMPLETELY redo all the ships when it has less than a 100 plays.

But Things I plan to implement:
If it gets so man plays: What I'd be willing to do:
100 Redo the ships to look like cardboard and completly redo the bullets the ship shoots.
150 BEGIN to work on powerups.
400 Make a Pick a ship style screen and have R1 be a ship specific abilitiy
500 Different gamemodes and not just styles.
3k Idk something awesome?

I'm thinking about putting a difficulty selection in right now because it wouldn't actually be hard but then a person on easy could just play for a very very long time to dominate the high scores.

Sorry for the long post but I feel all this info is relevant.

Btw somebody let me know if you figured out how to get into the cheat menu. I think I made it easy to figure out but it may not be obvious to anyone but me.

And I'll say this now. I'm not going to add like thirty billion different functions. The bombs barely work correctly on even the MM picked level (I can't remember the name right now.) So I'm just wanting a simple shooter. I have thought about powerups but that will take rewiring of the ships so I have access to more of it. (adding to the plays list lol)

just played and it was pretty good, the egyptian thing works as a funny way of getting away with simple triangle ships.

Pros: menu was awesome, i didnt find the cheat menu but like the idea that there is one
the level and backdrop looked pretty good
the ship flew well and turned fast

Cons: The playfield fills up pretty quick, with only one life this will make multiplayer games short, i can imagine the first one to die in a four player game might give you a boo out of frustration, maybe slow down the enemy spawn rate?
The bullets needed work (i know you've already said you intend on changing them) i've always liked tiny neon bullets that trail holograms

i yay'd the level, nice concept

for F4F please check out Bluedot City

Played it for while. It's hilarious and fun. Gameplay was good, visuals and idea were great.
Reading those subtitles take little too much attenton, when I try focus too much on game trying to get highest score. ( reached 5th :C ) You should add some music,
because it ain't fun shooting egyptian invaders without sweet shooting music. Overall, It's worth try if someone is after some good space shooter. I give it yay and heart!

I'd like you to try my F4F level in my signature and leave feedback!

There is music. There is one that plays when you start and there is four to choose from in the options menu.

Yeah I decided that regardless of the plays I'm going to start on cardboard ships to match the style. I was thinking for some reason I was going to have to gut the thing but then I realized I can just kind of copy paste.

I'll slow down the spawn rate of enemies. I kind of looked at it and at about 30 seconds every enemy spawns. And I think when I update the ships the bullets for both will be smaller. and the enemy ones will be slowed down probably.

Sorry lol. I didn't realize the music doesn't play if you just hit play. I go to the options menu EVERYTIME i play it so that kicks starts the music. If you just hit play it doesn't. My bad. I'll fix that.2011-02-06 01:38:00
