A célom az otthoni irodai székem felújítása volt. Más oldalakon egy sor kisebb veszteség elkedvetlenített. Változtattam a taktikán, és egy nagyobb tétet tettem egy alacsony volatilitású, gyakran nyerő slotra, ami váratlanul gyorsan meghozta a jackpotot. A szék hihetetlenül kényelmes. Ezt a slotot a roulettino casino oldalán találtam. Az oldal dizájnja tiszta és modern, nincs tele felugró ablakokkal. Átlátható politikájuk van a felelős játékot segítő eszközökről, amit tisztelek. Egy megbízható és jól megtervezett platform.

Nice! Good looking!

Thanks

I love how you hate your players! I scored 2, then rage quit. Maybe ramp the precision a little slower?

[vectorbyte]

@b10b Thanks for the feedback. I will work on the difficulty flow and precision.

Player hitbox is adjusted to make it easy to go through narrow path.

 

[vectorbyte]

Game speed + new obstacle.

Game starts at slow speed & speed increases with time as player survives.

Also, a new obstacle is added that takes one hit to clear path of large width.

[vectorbyte]

Parallax layers are added. One static (moon 🌙, stars ✨), two moving (architectures).

Window resolution is scaled down from 800x600 to 400x300 to boost up performance.

[vectorbyte]

Making variants of obstacles.

[vectorbyte]

Avoiding rotating blades is sometimes not possible.
So, the blades are made destructible. Now, blades can be destroyed with bullets.

Working on the first enemy. The bats. 🦇🎨

▶️ Implemented level system.
💥 Level 1 & 2 are added to test the player with basic challenges.

Wall corners & spikes make level less blocky.

[vectorbyte]

Animating each door was easier than putting all doors together😅

Level 7, 8 are done.

before - after
For the bg, I used google images, reduced the color palette, scaled down the image & applied custom color palette to match with game(Still need to work on lighting) on Pixel Studio app.

[vectorbyte]

Level 9 is now playable.

[vectorbyte]

Cleaned up the bg layers and added shadow for contrast. 
Bright color is used for player so that it pops more during gameplay.

Flicker effect for boss death animation. Just like old times.

[vectorbyte]

I’ve added the first boss fight to the game, and it’s now fully playable.

The encounter unlocks at level 10 and introduces combat mechanics for boss battle that includes basic attack behavior, damage handling, and health systems for the boss.

If you give it a try, let me know how it feels -- especially difficulty and responsiveness.

Reworked on the combat visual. Most of the work went into visual readability and feedback:

• Distinct bullet colors for player & enemy.
• Improved ricochet particle effects for better impact visibility.

These changes make a noticeable difference during combat, especially when multiple projectiles are on screen.

[vectorbyte]

Reworked on the first boss, focusing mainly on visual.

The old design did the job, but it didn’t have threat vibe. So I gave the boss a hazmat suit inspired look to add a sense of danger & purpose.

Here’s a quick look at the updated boss in action:
