Thats a fair review, thanks! The history and the stages were kind of cut short because 70% of my time was bug fixing and didn't take much time performing polish. The game itself is very short thanks to that too.
I created this Jam entry like my last one last year without using plugins. Using Pixi texts instead of using a simple show text for a better layout position is a little time consuming but I will take notes to pay more attetion to that and with the points you made.
Another point that I didn't add those effect because the earlier idea for this game was to create a weapon pick up system with a Machine gun and a Shotgun. I thought I would have problems swithing those arround and lag ruining the gameplay.
That's a nice effect to add but when I was creating the events I thought that those shot target effect in those old games were mainly necessary because there was no crosshair and they were a lightgun game. It is a valid point to add here in the future. Thanks!
Thanks! This was a really rushed project that so many parts of it had to be cut off. This game was made inspirated with the gameplay of Lethal Enforcers 2 for Arcade/Mega Drive/Snes but we couldn't make it on time for te JAM with all the enemies sprites.
I'm really happy with mine and I learned a lot too. Didn't pass round 2 but loved the feedback people gave it. I just need to polish a lot of things, bug fix and rebalance like 90% of the game. I hope who played it try it again after the update.
And maybe add a tutorial for the gameplay. That's really important.
