Space Quest

GameCre8tor

Hi guys this is my first game. It is still in the early ages of development and still has a few bugs in it. I would like for you to help me by telling me what you like/dislike about the game and how I can improve it.

This is the link for playing it http://gamesalad.com/game/play/69975

I hope you like it, but as I say it is still being made!

Congrats on starting your journey!

For some of us, the journey is infinitely more valuable than the single end-product. But the best would be to cherish both just as much!

Here's wishing you every success.

Space Quest as in Kings Quest, Police Quest etc? Loved those games

scorelessmusic

Me too, Shizane. Ah the memories.

Say, have you checked out The Silver Lining? Completely free fan-made continuation for King's Quest.

Ok, enough of hijacking threads... back to the topic. (Apologies ^_^)

Does anyone have any comments about this game, what you like/dislike, how I can improve it etc?

Hi

I liked the graphics and the look in the game itself. The movement could do with some work, I would suggest increasing the drag so the ship doesn't drift sideways so much. Also I was a little surprised it was game over after killing one enemy. Maybe 'space duel' rather than 'space quest'.

Good work so far though.

The game shouldn't be over after 1 enemy, I have 2 different enemy actors spawning at random points on the map every 10 or so seconds. I will take a look at it. Thanks for the feedback on the drag problems though I will change it right away.

I went off the edge of the game put a wall at the side off the camera view?

GameCre8tor

Good idea PossesiveGaming will do so

DimensionGames

Np. What platform are you making this game for?

GameCre8tor

I think it will be on the iPhone and iPod touch, but I may later adapt it for the iPad.

DimensionGames

Yer seems good. Include some instructions? To help users.

GameCre8tor

Will do

Does anyone else have any comments that they would like to make, be they good or bad points about the game?

Ok, nice first game for GS...

good points, looks like you've taken the spaceship tutorial game and adapted it to make your game, into a bigger scrolling scene. Like the cartoony graphics of the ships.

This is purely so you get some feedback, not being nasty..as it plays well enough.

Bad points: when you hit a planet, you lose a life but still continue flying through it... make it so you bounce off the planets/moons/suns.

The score would look nicer with a custom text, search the forum, as someone made a nice tutorial on how to do it.

Your menus could look a lot nicer, smaller sleeker buttons, animate the button presses, an image for over, pressed and released...Just to add more polish.

Also as others have said, I win after killing one ship, maybe add more goals, bonus features, new weapons, a destination to complete the game rather than just killing other ships.

Well done so far, and look forward to seeing the updated version... right my better half has just cooked dinner and we are about to watch the new BBC Sherlock series which looks awesome...

night...
