not bad, but i have a few things i would change.
First of all, you should remove the option to restart a level after beating it, no one wants to do that and you get so used to pressing 'R' when you die that it becomes habit and then you accidentally have to play the level again.
Second, I would make the difficulty gradually ramp up. I am a fan of difficult games but the first level should be at least a bit easier because you are still learning the controls and stuff and it is frustrating when you have slow progress right from the start.
Finally, I would remove the minimap as I found it more distracting than useful, and the stats when you press F1 should be shown by default, and include a death counter. The lighting made it hard to see in some parts, but I wouldn't change it as it didn't make it *too* hard to see and it gave the game a nice aesthetic.
Also most of my suggestions are just things I would do if I were making the game. If you disagree with me you obviously don't have to follow them as most of the things I didnt like about the game were subjective. Overall I thought it was pretty good for your first game, and a very good starting point for something much better, if it gets refined a bit more.
its ok.
Very fun, highly challenging and has a great soundtrack.
I love games that challenge me, because believe me I am stubborn and refuse to admit defeat!
If Alive, Run starts off pretty rough and only increases the tempo from there, which I can appreciate. Might as well thrown you in at the deep end and say good luck to ya!
Determination and the ability to accept that you need to die several times to figure out each level is what you need to progress here, and it certainly carried me through quite a bit of the content here! But... I have to be honest. I was beaten by this game. I did not complete the If Alive, Run challenge and now lay down the gauntlet to every other avid rage game player out there... can you get further than me? And if you can, can you tell me how pretty please and thanks very much?
Hats off to Provided Play, this was a really fun experience, still annoyed at myself for not being able to 100% it but I just need to live with it! Keep up the great work =)
A controller is highly recommended!
My first game, hope you enjoy.
