CEPHEI - HOSTILE PLANET

@Momoko_Fan
Yeah the number powerups might be confusing. I’ve had troubles finding another symbol for them. And I don’t want only the colour to seperate them. If anyone got any idea of a symbol you can let me know.

@Nate
That’s strange… I tried myself to get game over in different ways but couldn’t reproduce the problem.

Way too difficult at start. Maybe tune it down a bit so I can continue for more than 10 seconds? ;D

your shmups skills sound weak :slight_smile:

however agreed that it does get hard pretty fast :slight_smile: difficulty should increase gradually.

fun game, reminds me a of R-TypeII (which also had low fps ;))
The scoring is interesting, some simple enemies give you 10000 (100000?) points, others 150.
The second boss was too hard for me. You should paint the bullets on top of the boni, sometimes the boni hide the bullets.
Give me extra weapons! (or did I miss something?)
Maybe level codes could motivate me to play again. It seems to be hard work to get to the 2nd boss and then get killed by 5 oversized bullets you can not dodge.

I couldn’t also beat the 2nd boss . Maybe a “Continue” option ? like restart the level with 3 lives …

but anyway, this game is really cool, congrats !
Maybe post it on Game Jolt for more exposure ?

Thanks for the comments! :slight_smile:

Changed the first level a bit so it should be easier now.

Not sure if this was clear. The scoring can differ alot between enemies depending on how high your multiplier is (right above the ship). For every enemy you destroy (and bonuses) the multiplier is increased by one (and it is set to zero if you get hit or if you don’t increase the multiplier within a few seconds). The “base points” for an enemy is then multiplied with the multiplier (for example 150 * 10, if multiplier is 10). Good idea with the bullets on 2nd boss btw. There are only 3 types of weapons in the game so far (super bomb on SPACE).

Yeah the 2nd boss might be hard, but a reason for that is because the game only has 2 levels so far. When I make a 3rd level I will probably make the 2nd boss a bit easier.

Looks just amazing for me.
Too long loading. It’s definitely a bed idea to load all resources from the start.

Thanks m77. Hmm, for me it loads really fast.

I played the game on another computer then my own now, and noticed a critical bug. Quite often the game doesn’t seem to register keyboard input, which means the ship won’t always start to move or it will sometimes continue moving after realising the arrow key!? On the other hand at my home computer it works fine. Has anyone else noticed this problem?
