Things I love: - The simplicity - The polished gameplay - The upgrade system
Future improvement ideas that I had: - Improve the audio for coin collection. I would pick a sound that is a little more neutral and easier on the ears. - Reduce the number of times you can upgrade to make the game harder. Upgrade every 2-3 levels as you progress. - Have the pigs suck coins out of you if they touch you.
Overall, this was a very enjoyable game to play. Keep up the good work!
I agree that the coins pickup sound is a bit harsh, but unfortunately it was created before I realized how often it would be playing.
As for the pigs, they do actually take coins from you, but due to the lack of time, I wasn't able to add and animations or sounds to it, so it's hard to notice.
@thestartlestare Thanks, that was actually accidental, as I had intended for the coin to not even collide with the pigs, but I decided to leave it in because it seem more realistic than having them go through the pigs.
Pretty solid and smooth mechanics! I had fun! I got all my stats up to 100. Them piggies didn't stand a chance! :laughing: I found that the dropped coins posed a greater threat since they blocked my shots! Perhaps bigger and more difficult enemies could spice things up.
If you continue it post-dare, would be cool to see something different with the piggy-bank waves. Once you've levelled up the damage you can just sit there and explode them without having to really work at it.
I think I just exploded my ears when I levelled up too. :o:
This game is a little treasure. (I loved the itch.io backgroudn but this is another story). Even if it's simple I appreciated a lot that the mechanics to set your skills after leveling up stays the same as during the gameplay. This is very nice, because I got it immediately without any need to read instructions. I love self explanatory games. My complaint is that the visual feedback on level up or dying isn't very clear, so basically I didn't understand what happened at first. I liked the left over coins collidig with the rest of the scene, but I read that it wasn't intentional :)
Well done! While simplistic, everything that is here is solid. I had issues with the sound getting incredibly loud sometimes, but that's the only issue. For improvements, if the pigs destroyed any coins they touched that would give players a reason take to speed, so they can grab the coins faster.
@johnnysix Yes, I will definitely continue, and I will most likely release an update shortly after, with all the things that didn't make it into the game added in.
I love that they can't pass through the money I had so much fun trying to block them and then laugh at them. lol Can't wait to see some more stuff made by you!
Very simplistic. More enemy types would be interesting after some time. What I really like is that the coins can be in your way of shooting. That forces you to clean the floor after a while.
