[GM]Game of Awesomeness (Working Title)

[Meness]

Note: I am the spriter for this project and not the main coder. I am just posting it for him here.

"Where's everyone?
Maybe I should talk to the Overseer..."

"What do you want?"

As you accidentally left click while aiming at him, you have just started the game.

Sypnosis

Spoiler

You are, wait for it, Captain Awesome.

NASA has recently discovered a planet inhabited by weird circular creatures. You, being so awesome, are chosen to represent the human race in a meeting with these 'chums. You meet the 'Overseer' in a confined room. After a friendly shot from you, it is discovered that these little boys are hostile. So, you begin the Game of Awesomeness, taking down circuloid after circuloid. Will you be able to return to Earth? It depends very well on how awesome you are

This is the premise of GoA (Game of Awesomeness). But there's really no story, it's just a shoot em up game where you try to get as many kills as possible

The graphics are so cool! How do you do so the Player can 'shoot' in more than 4 DIRECTIONS?

 

[Meness]

Well this is GameMaker after all haha

 

[9robin3]

Well this is GameMaker after all haha

Oh! Wtf I am ashamed O_o I should know I do use Gamemaker xD

 

[Meness]

Haha did you play the demo? How many kills you got?

 

[Jason]

Oh come on, I can't even kill the Overseer?!

It's not too bad to be honest, although might I suggest changing the colour of the beams/bullets coming from enemies, since I couldn't tell which were mine or theirs, lol...

 

[Meness]

Oh yeah you can kill the Overseer xD there's a big bonus for that. And thanks for the comment, I have passed it on to our coder =)

[Akito]

THIS, is the Link to the game, as I realized that the Author of this topic did not upload the correct one lol.

 

[Meness]

First off don't listen to the asshat saying I did not upload the correct version. He was the one who uploaded it filled with bugs. But yes now the link is up.

wow, 15,8 mb? what is taking up so much memory?
such a big download is going to turn people off, so you might want to think about making it smaller..
oh i see, it's the 'music.ogg'.. might want to think about switching to midi?
that way your game will be somewhere around 3 mb, much more download-friendly

'kayy, that was fun.

first off, i enjoy the mechanics, everything is fluent, and it works like a charm
i was playing on my touchpad though, so shit was tough
btw i liked the music

anyway, you could improve in a couple of areas;

- story (doesnt have to be much, but a small one to form the setting)
- surroundings and graphics
i mean you can do loads more; make a nice static (jungle themed?) background, put in some obstacles here and there, it'll instantly create some atmosphere
also the enemies were kind of small - which was also very annoying because i couldnt hit them - but that could just be me
if you'd give the enemies more badass graphics, and make them larger - yeah i think that'd be an improvement

-pointer; though i liked the idea of the laser dot, i lost the pointer a couple of times, might want to make that a bit more detectable

same goes for everything though - because of the bullets being so big in comparison to the other units, they stick out more, so you lose everything else on the screen.

nice and clean though

Hi I enjoyed your game!

I found a glitch though haha.

You can't tell totally.. but I managed to glitch outside of the containing border.. so I could only move around the box. I was also able to go further outside to the point where enemy attacks wouldn't be able to hurt me. So I managed to kill at lot of enemies before I decided to just quit :P

I'd recommend changing bullet color for the user.. as well as the reticle (it matches with the red bullets)

 

[Meness]

HEY GUYS. I'm sorry I've let this thread die for so long. My friend (who codes and all that jazz) hasn't updated for a long time. He almost gave up.

BUT. I convinced him to work on it again so he updated it and made a lot of changes you guys suggested.

Check it out! Download here!
