Need the player's opinion in the lives system!


Hey guys and gals !
First of all thank you very much for the 95 follows and the great support , love you all :)
we really need your opinions on the lives system and difficulty for the story mode , to see if its fine as it is.
-The current base system is that you start with 3 lives and a full
health bar , when you advance to the next level some of your
health restore like this :
Easy 35%
Normal 15%
hard 5%
-when you die , you respawn in the current level , and when all 3
lives are gone you respawn in the last checkpoint.
There is a checkpoint in every : 3 levels in Easy , 5 levels in
Normal , 10 levels in Hard (which is half the total levels)
-As the main mechanic of the game and the plot point , is that
using your spear consumes your health as payment , a
successful hit regains the consumed health .
The amount of health consumed depends on the ability and
kind of attack (light/heavy) , so players should not miss their
attacks so they don’t waste health
-The general difference between difficulties are like this :
Easy : slow and weak enemies , slow traps , you can get
health easily , +35% health every level , a checkpoint every 3 levels.
Normal : average speed and strength enemies , normal speed
traps , average awareness for your health and management is
required , +15% health every level , a checkpoint every 5 levels.
Hard : Faster and tougher enemies , Fast traps , heavy
management for your health is required because of the great
amount of HP you take from enemies , +5% health every level ,
one checkpoint in level 10.
There will also be rare lives pickups throughout the levels , and additional life after a specific score/points

we don’t want the game to be too hard like old retro games , neither too easy like some modern games.
What do you guys think of the base system and its numbers? does it need changes?
Thanks in advance :)

Hello lovely people!

I hope you like the game so far, I try my best to reach top quality with it, it is my goal to make a hit :D

and your feedback is most important to reach that goal!

In factions and heroes ships from the same faction can benefit greatly from other ship's existence!

Hope you like!

Any criticism or ideas to improve the game will help :)

Now you can equip different weapons to ships!

Opening the door to even more combinations between ships, weapons, equipments... the possibilities are now even larger!

Some gameplay showing different weapons and equipment.

I Also added some slow motion on big explosions, though it is maybe not noticeable for now 😅

Hope you like it, and sorry for the lag at the start!

Any criticism will help

I Added a new formation maneuver used to get the ships closer and focus fire, dodging some bullets + dealing more damage.

The other maneuver makes the side ships move towards the camera, avoiding damage but losing the ability to shoot.

Hope you like it :)
