Constant Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hi community This is my very first HTML5 game, made with GameMaker.As a beginner, I'm trying to build classic games so as to learn the fundamentals. Link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/225651740/ghost-invasion/index.html So, Ghost Invasion is a classic arcade game, inspired by Space Invaders and numerous clones.Most of the arts come from OpenGameArt, a part home-made (I'm really bad with graphics!).I spent +60hours working on it, learning with tutorials & books, but I hope I'll be more efficient for my next game! Any comment will be appreciated, I'm really willing to improve my skills even if I'm aware it will be a long way Features: - 15 levels (14 + 1 bonus)- 15 different enemies with various attacks & bonus- Smooth progression I tried to add sound, but the game was lagging too much with many enemies firing.

SenadMMG Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 It's a fun little game. I played a few levels, it quickly gets harder witch is good in my opinion. One thing I would suggest is to shorten the transition between levels. It kind of kills the fast pace of levels.Also when player takes damage from fans there's no visual feedback (explosion).

poncle Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Nice first game, the enemies' projectiles remain on screen even after finishing a level, which can be frustrating.Chrome on GalaxyS2 : smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constant Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Thank you very much for you feedback! Your points are valid and I've made 3 modifications:- Transition between levels a bit shorter- Visual feedback added on fan damage- Enemies' projectiles destroyed when a level up occurs Regarding the difficulty, myself I cannot enjoy a game if there is no challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsushi Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Congrats on your first game.Not bad at all. 2 things though. 1. Maybe put a green glow or something around the power ups. I had no idea that some of the drops were power ups. 2. The game crashed on me or something after a while of playing. Just saw the background image and nothing else. But again, congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constant Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thank you very much for your comments kingsushi. A green mark around the power ups was a great suggestion. The "crash" was caused by an error from me (when taking a grenade, the player was destroyed!). I've spent a whole day to renew the game, now visuals are better and (much) ligther for the device. I'm going to contact publishers, some of them might be interested in this little invaders clone. And then start another game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
