I had fun playing as Cthulhu and eating humans, but I think it was nearly impossible to dodge the bullets of the soldiers^^
otherwise though, the game was very fun. one of the better ones.
Maybe if you had more time you could do a different graphics/sound theme for each level? They were good but they got a bit repetitive.
Entertaining game, and surprisingly hard, especially in the later levels where the soldiers have fortified themselves indoors.
Starting off the player in the middle of a group of soldiers in the later levels was a bit unfair :-D
finding remaining humans is a little boring.
+ beautiful light
+ nice sounds and music
con
-graphics are not so beautiful
@Somnium LibGDX is great!
@lanza Thank you!
@thebrickanator Yes the stats update once a second only...
@DragonXVI Thank you! Yes a radar would be nice, I considered it but thought the slime would tell you where you'd already been. LOVE your entry by the way.
- solid gameplay.
- smooth controls
- sounds and lightning
Cons :
- You should maybe have added an arrow pointing to the last human on the map. Easier to find.
Great job anyway
Simple and neat, music is pumping and makes me jump straight into the action.
Job well done!
Explosions got pretty loud, but the music was nice.
Controls are a bit awkward - WASD + click is slower compared to the 'dragging' method, but that one is a bit more chaotic.
Also, the barrage of bullets in later levels got impossible to dodge.
It feels very satisfying when you achieve to eat a large group while avoiding bullets.
Difficulty at the last level was good for me, a little bit more challenging.
Finding the last survivor is sometimes really frustrating.
Nothing too bad to say about. I like the contols, i like sounds and the music, the AI is hard enough to make game enjoyable.
But I would like to see a pointers for people, because it's pretty hard to find them, IMO
On a totally different note, the character design doesn't remind me of Cthulhu at all :P
Fun game overall though.
The music didn't seem to fit the cthulhu theme that well; something more creepy might have worked better. It kinda made me think of sci-fi aliens or something instead of cthulhu.
