First Game -- Need Feedback and suggestions

carloz

Hi All,

This is my first game, a icopter clone..


As the topic says, need honest feedback about the graphics, gameplay..any suggestions or additions that you guys think are required.
can it be released as a free game?
Also need some suggestions for naming the game..

P.S the fish are courtesy of darren.

1) The swimmer's animation seems slow compared to how fast he's moving through the water. You might try speed up the fps in the animation behavior. I think the particle bubbles in the swimmer's wake should stand our more so it actually looks like he's going through water.

2) I think the game should probably start out a little slower and speed up as the game goes on. It seems kind of too fast at the start.

3) Obviously, sound effects (underwater-type noises, fish chomping, powerups grabbed, etc.) and music would really help the gaming experience.

4) Adding parallax scrolling would help the appearance of depth.

5) You might want to consider adding other obstacles, other than fish, such as boulders, fish hooks or boat rotors (from boats above), kelp, etc. I think the variety will help make the game more interesting.
