wp7 Can you rate my first game

[DrakeN2k]

Hello Neowin , I have made my first game for Windows Phone and I want your views on it :)

Its a basic 2D arcade style shooter.

If you think its good please rate on the marketplace :)

If in wrong location please move.

Played ir for about 5-10 mins. And here are some ideas/thought on it. (I gave 4* on the marketplace, btw :))

[add] Screen to show score at the end

[add] More powerups (change the rate of fire, new protectiles, ect)

[add] Effect whent he enemy bullets hit your vehicle

[change] Damage amount from an enemy bullet, maybe 3 or 4 points, 2 is too small.

[change] Make the enemy ships move faster/slower randomly

That's all i really felt needed changing, I did enjoy it and im going out tonight, so i'm going to play it on the tube/bus on my way.

Overall 4/5, good game, it was rather fun :D

Thank you

Your ideas will make it to the version 1.2

Version 1.1 will have tactile feedback.

Hi

i gave it a 4star rating.

There are alot of ideas i have that would improve this game.

First of all it needs a scoreboard leaderboard thing.

And add different backgrounds as stages progress and also different music per 5 stages i think. Will keep the game interesting.

For the gameplay id say add more powerups which last longer or till you get hit by 25points or so... eg spray fire missles and stuff like that.

There was a game on Sega which i loved and i dont know why nobody makes such a game for mobile phones. I dont remember the name but it had airplanes and you had to shoot down stuff and there were powerups speed boosts and weird puzzle like stages where you had to steer up and down and it added many dimensions to the game.

Goodluck with the updates :)

Needs more Dinosaurs.

wow.. after lots of digging i found the game

but not the name

heres the youtube vid the game appears at 2:55 and for some reason i remember the game having the music for the classic song JUMP!

[Zain Adeel]

FOUND IT!!!

THIS IS THAT GAME!!!!!!!! :D :D :D just look at that!.. if somehow you can incorporate such a pickup system and also different enemies.. it will rock!

[DrakeN2k]

Thank you for the ideas. Zain thank you I will make the changes your requested barn the music as I cant make music :p

I got one new power up on its way for 1.2 , which you hit harder and your bullets dynamically grow and shrink in size.

1.3 will be an extension of game length

[Zain Adeel]

best of luck :)

the purpose of posting the last video was just to show you whats in games that give challenge and keep the gamer excited :)

also

a little idea i missed before

can you make black bars on the bottom where the ad is placed instead of placing it in the game area?

like a widescreen movie the game will have black bars and the ad will be in the lower bar and score in the top bar.

Or you can simply make a paid edition without Ads :)

[DrakeN2k]

Would you consider paying for the game without ads?

[Zain Adeel]

I cant actually i dont have a credit system :p

but if you make 2 versions those people who can will buy :) and you can ad extra stages in that one .. Just dont dumb down the free version too much :)

this way if you can manage 2 seperate versions you can do good with this game.

[DrakeN2k]

So I might put the "hard mode" and level extension to the paid version.

Hum... I might think of that for V1.3

@Zain (it would not let me quote you for some reason)

"THIS IS THAT GAME!!!!!!!! :D :D :D just look at that!.. if somehow you can incorporate such a pickup system and also different enemies.. it will rock!"

Whoah. That looks a lot like Phalanx for SNES. It had awesome music.
