In a world where pollution put our lives in danger, only an non-conventionnal weapon can save us ! Using flower-launcher, carrot-launcher or cow-launcher, clean the 10 levels !
If you have problems after installation, try to install OpenAL. (http://www.openal.org/creative-installers/ -> oalinst.zip) For sources, I've used Visual Studio Community 2013, and the last MonoGame release.(OpenGL template) Enjoye !
I also prefered the cow launcher. It seems a popular choice amongst commenters.. Then again, i guess the flower is a classic. The music was a bit repetitive. I liked the environmental angle :3
This game shows a lot of promise, and I had fun playing it, but I feel like you missed the mark on a couple of areas.
Pros: -Once I understood the controls, the game was pretty fun to play! -The music was pretty good, and good on you for making it! That's a big challenge for a lot of people. -Your graphics are fun and whimsical, and you can definitely feel a unified theme here. -I LOVED the cloud cover as a visual indicator of success and failure. GREAT execution there.
Cons: -Your title screen lists strange keys for directions, but when I played it, it was WASD gameplay. -I don't feel like the game got harder as time went on, and there was no win condition. If a game does not progress in difficulty or list a win condition, it quickly becomes repetitive. -I wasn't immediately sure what exactly my enemies were. This game could use an instruction screen.
Over all, I think you have a really solid entry here. It was really fun to see your game in action! Thanks for sharing it with us. :)
Also, on a side note that did not figure in to my scoring, consider switching to a game engine that does not require installs, such as Construct 2 or GameMaker: Studio. The added benefit is that you'll be able to deploy to more platforms as well.
Thank you for your feedback! I realized too late that I did not put the right direction !(too tired...) I take your point about "installer" : Bad idea !
The game is pretty well done for your first time! Ares of improvement:
- The music was a bit too repetitive. No one like a 5-second music loop.
- your audio balance was a bit out of whack. music overpowered all other sound effect.
- the framerate/speed of the jump is jarring. it's hard to hit the planes and bags because of it. slow it down and/or increase the framerate to help with this.
Some others have already mentioned the installer issue, I found the concept very interesting, fighting against the pollution, but it quickly became tedious. There was a lot of graphics involved, so I'm guessing this took a lot of your time, it may have been interesting to add things the player should not shoot, and or things to avoid touching.
