Beta Testing - Spaceman: Prelude
29th Jun 2009 - 11:48by sneeze
Yet another game for beta testing - Spaceman: Prelude. This is a vertical scrolling shooter game.

Things I want to know in particular are:
- Does the preloader work properly (ie does it load)?
- Does the game feel reasonable?
- Are there any silly things I've missed?

The game looks really good. :)

-The preloader works, although the text in the middle is different from the text over the bar. I don't know if they should be the same or not but I thought I'd just point it out.

-The game play feels fine and the balance of the levels seem pretty fair. I can't get past level 2 and I'm not very good at shooters so that seems about right to me.

-I don't think there is anything that you've missed. I'll let you know if I spot anything though. :)

The only thing I can think of that might improve the gameplay would be to have a sound when the player ship gets hit. A few times I thought I dodged a bullet but then realised that my score multiplier and health had gone down.

Just spotted something.

The 3 in the font on the end of level screen looks like a 5. I had a score with both a 3 and a 5 in but they only looked like 5s. :)

I see what you mean about the 3 and 5. Now I have to face the joys of font editing...
