Interesting idea, certainly two themes/genres you'd be unlikely to find anywhere else. The music and sound effects are fun and set the mood pretty well. However I felt like the rooms were all kind of ... same-y. You go in, check for enemies, open crates/take stuff, then leave. Not entirely sure if looking around is related to anything, it didn't feel like it at least. Maybe some more actions and some kind of level map you have to navigate through by knowing what each room looks like?
I don't know what happened but I got up to 150 ammo without running into a single enemy. Amazing rendering for the C64 effect and an awesome idea regardless.
It looks great! However, I don't think I would call it fun. For one, the only way you can be attacked by anything is by typing check, and then defeating enemies requires no challenge. I suppose this is why these two genres are incompatible. I feel like you could have done more with this, but the interface is really cool and looks amazing!
@Noxbuds@JezPez Thanks for your feedback and your criticism. After reading it, I realized you are absolutely right, I simply forgot to add random encounters ^^ I added those and the room types in version 1.2, so if you want to check it out, go ahead :)
@notpresident35 Thanks, the interface was prettified very late in development and I'm happy with the result as well ^^ as stated above, version 1.2 should fix your complaints. Hope you like it :D
I love this console's look, it's amazing! You really put much very effort into graphics. Of this console simulator! =D And this active background tune fits the game. Incredible old-school fun!
This was amazing! I had a great time. You mixed the two genres flawlessly, they felt like they belonged together. Plenty of variation as well, never felt stale or got boring. Great job!
I may have been missing something, I couldn't figure out how to shoot the sniper ("SHOOT SNIPER" didn't seem to do anything) or how to use medkits or what to do with crates :(
Fits the theme well, I have nothing to complain about, great job! But I wonder, does the number of crates per room affect the amount of items you get at all?
@JustMars it was intended, yes. It completely threw off balance though (you would find way too much ammo in one room, you could die instantly without a chance to recover etc) so I decided to leave it completely random.
Interesting idea! It is very fun to play and the music and SFX are very nice. It took me some time to get that the right command is "take ammunition" instead of just "take". I think that would be nice if the "help" explained it in some way, or maybe a error message. But aside from that, good game! =)
Fun though, weirdly addictive.
