Enjoyed it, it came out looking very polished (odd for a LD game).\r<br\/>One note; if you think you can get away with it under the 'porting' clause, you might want to add keyboard controls. Not everyone has a XBox controller to hand right away :-)"},{"author_name":"alexis.pautrot","author_uid":"17726","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 12:39pm","epoch":1387197240,"text":"I've just submitted a new version with Arrows\/Ctrl\/Space to play with XBox Pad.

The fact that we can go outside the view (I don't know if it's voluntary :)) can be a nice innovation for a shoot'em up !\r<br\/>Too bad there is no sound, and I can't see any link with the theme (besides the only life, which is a caracteristics of so many shooters).\r<br\/>Anyway, well done."},{"author_name":"alexis.pautrot","author_uid":"17726","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 5:33pm","epoch":1387214880,"text":"thanks !\r<br\/>yes the link with the theme is.. well.. nope.

First of all, I love the graphics! It's just a very colourful game and I personally love pixelart. :) The game sure is challenging, so that's good too.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Too bad there isn't any sound. Next time, I'd recommend to download a sound generator program like SFXR. They're very easy to use, and it adds so much to your game. :) As of the music, there are also simple music generators. I used abundant-music in LD28, which turned out to be a pretty good choice.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's kind of strange that you can fly outside the screen, since you're always safe there.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>And last but not least, I miss a little juiciness. By example, you can shake the screen when you're hitting someone, or you can add (exaggerated) particles to the screen. This will hugely improve the experience of playing the game! I'd recommend you to watch this video, which talks a bit about juiciness in a game: http:\/\/goo.gl\/N7RfKV\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway, it's a nice game, especially since it's your first Unity game! Keep up the good work :)"},{"author_name":"DustyStylus","author_uid":"15902","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 12:06am","epoch":1387238460,"text":"Thank you for adding keyboard controls! :) Beautiful graphics."},{"author_name":"Manou","author_uid":"29477","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 9:03am","epoch":1387270680,"text":"Beautiful graphics."},{"author_name":"alexis.pautrot","author_uid":"17726","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 5:10pm","epoch":1387299900,"text":"Thanks guys for your comments !\r<br\/>@Thijsku : I totally agree with all that you wrote. I hesitated ripping arcade games sounds, but the compo rules are strict :) ! As for the music, I'm just discovering those generators. Will be for the next LD. Thanks for the link, I will look at it right away. I wish I had more time to polish and add more of this juiciness.."},{"author_name":"alexis.pautrot","author_uid":"17726","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 5:19pm","epoch":1387300440,"text":"Very interesting video indeed !
