Hi Guys
So I finally finished a new game its called Creepy.
You can try it out on the Gamesalad Arcade via the privat link:
http://publish.gamesalad.com/apps/913985/play
Controls in the Browser Version are:
Arrow key up = Shoot
Arrow key down = block
Arrow left + right = move
There will still be voice overs created for the main character and external commander that will tell you what you have to do next.
But the core is fine and done. I will launch it the following week for iOS,Google play and amazon. The magical three.
So it would help if you try it out see if you can break anything major and give me general feedback.
Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy.
David

Pretty cool game.
Love it!
Cool cool cool!!! Congrats!
The music is great. Creepy.
Really cool ! I recognise the trees !
Great game! Reminds me of Elevator Action, a game I have a lot of nostalgia for.
Thanks guys

Love it.
Nice stuff!
This game is awesome @BigDave
Awesome!
Nice, love the art and atmosphere!
Not sure if voice over would fit tho. Maybe just text with synth voice like sounds?
Best of lucks, really nice
I really liked it. I liked that you didnt have to jump. I liked you had to use the lifts as strategy. The music real works well with the atmosphere and color scheme.
I like it.
Nice! Very well done, I didn't get very far tho...
I'm having problems sometimes where the shield doesn't protect you from fireball damage, making situations where you have a fire-spitter and zombies at the same time extremely frustrating.
@pHghost
get sure you block in the right direction, as the shield is only meant to block in the direction you face.
I did some pixel nudging to make the shield bottom and top more likely to block as you move up or down into a projectile.
Today the screenshots and Trailer got finished up.
Would you download the game seeing this screenshots?

Nice Job Dave had a bit of a play earlier
I added voice to the trailer some friends meant it takes away from the naked charm black/white
its kind of making fun of itself the same humour as I used in orcs
What you guys think
leave it naked with no voices or add them?

@BigDave Great game man! I played through most of it. I like the atmosphere and that the character can't jump. It becomes a battle for positioning because of the limited bullet range. The only thing I would change would be the speed that the bad guys fall at, right now they float. It would be cool if they would fall faster and maybe incorporate a camera shake when they hit the ground. Good luck with downloads.
@BigDave I like it, it "feels" good!
@BigDave I prefer the trailer without the voice overs. Without it there is more of a creepy atmosphere.
thanks guys
@app_sauce true! I became blind to that after testing it that many times.
@approw yes! I made 3 versions now. Please also give the female only a watch and tell me if its still better naked. I think the creepy voice is kind of killing the vibe. But the commander alone should add something positive.

I agree, unless you can make the female voice as a dry, urgent, hushed sound.
The creepy voice I don't like, it is almost comical.
@Hopscotch yep, I definitely agree.
@BigDave Only the female voice is a lot better, but I still think I would go for no voice over. In the end that is what the game represents right? Silent and dark
I think the atmosphere is great and adding semi-comical voices destroys that a bit. If you want voices, stay with the atmosphere.
In terms of the blocking, I was standing facing the correct direction, shield up and then suddenly got hit. I think it happens when you sometimes get knocked back a bit (which sometimes happens and sometimes not), or when you are pressed against a wall.
@pHghost wow yeah so blocking - getting knocked
i try that. as there is an invisible actor spawned and constraint to the player position this could be if the actor can't reposition before the projectile hits the player.
i try this tomorrow morning to reproduce.
Im in agreement with the folk that say its better without voices.
Its a lot more spooky/atmospheric without the voices.
I don't like the fact that i can't beat level 3, looks like my gaming skills have diminished throughout the years. Nice game though, creepy indeed, great atmosphere.
