Challenging inbalanced game
I'd be happier if enemies start from weak to strong ones instead of this
I've completed the game and defeated the boss BTW. Though the game stuck at endless loop cause I tried to shoot at last screen
Just finished uploading my video, great game! It had a couple of tough parts but after trying a few times I was able to get past them. There were a couple of parts that seemed odd to me that I pointed out in my video. You can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-MQAWdEKA8
Both a fun and frustrating game I even did a lp of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re4j0KszKNc&feature=youtu.be
A challenging game where devils really act like devils... and they are not easily defeated. Death is useful against them, especially if you make the right choice. I recommend it :D
I want to hear your opinion, do you like it ? do you feel it challenging ? Do you want to see more ? If yes, I was thinking to expand the game, I have also a crazy multiplayer idea to implement but before this I need your feedback. If is worth it, I'll do it :)
This game was made during GameDev.net The Week Of Awesome III competition on which the theme was 'Death is useful'.
Game summary:
The game starts with our hero, the White Knight, which finds himself in a mysterious, cold world where Death seems to be missing.
On his way to the unknown our hero finds out a huge ice block with something trapped in it. If we destroy the ice block we have a big surprise, the person inside was the Death himself. Our hero’s act does not pass unnoticed and Death is offering a reward from 3 possible choices. This choices are actually a way to manipulate dynamically the gameplay difficulty:
easy difficulty: is the reward which grants extra 2 lives and 3 checkpoints during the level, the checkpoints are activated by killing an enemy after a certain point. The end of the level is at ~8000 position in game units, the checkpoints are at the positions: 1550, 3900, 7700
medium difficulty: is the reward which grants extra stamina power for the hero’s weapon and one checkpoint at game world position: 3900.
hard difficulty: is the reward which halves the stamina power for the weapon, removes all the checkpoints and gives a timer which our hero needs to feed by killing enemies, if the timer reaches 0 seconds, our hero will die and will return at the start of the level. In this case we can say that Death cursed our hero:D.
The reward will be activated after our hero dies. The chosen reward is not permanent, the player can choose to change the active reward by breaking again the ice block where death was found. If you have activated a checkpoint further than the ice block’s location, you can always teleport at the start of the level by pressing the R key.
Later on we have the chance to possibly find out how Death was trapped in an Ice Block ~mistery~
