Nothing new gameplay wise but cool story
This game really isnt anything special but the story is really something new and is a good idea since i hope this is one of the first flash for you i gave you a 5 and a 10 for a boost but its a 8 and a 4 for me but I see you have immense potenial so i hope you get some intrest by other people because of this game.
Ps: good luck in the portal son you'll need it.
I'm wearing my extra thick armor. Bring your worst, portal! Thanks!
cute game
Pretty damn good, , but i felt like i wish i had more room on the screen to move around. it felt crammed. idk.
Next one will be a little more spacious. Thanks!
This wasn't too bad...
I loved it. Simple and fun.
Graphics were nice, I also liked the various upgrades.
But I didn't like the burst fire mechanism, it got really annoying when over-run with enemies, Also the whole "Dying and starting again" Kinda annoyed me.
Non-the-less, Really good game. Keep it up lads.
Thank you kindly. The decision to keep the dying and starting again thing was tough since although players tend to like a checkpoint system, we felt that because it was only one level and it's built to represent the tougher scrolling shooters of it's genre, that the system would reward more skilled players. Do you think instead that having more health pickups would have been a good compromise?
Fresh..ish
Quiet nice, but then again vertical shooters are all pretty much the same... however some nice fresh ideas (like who your actually shooting/are) and the background was cool :)
Thanks mate! Yeah when we decided we were going to do a vertical shooter, our two rules were "the player isn't a person and isn't a ship."
Cool Shooter
Hey.
Graphics, animation, sounds were done very well. Good job to you and your team.
The overall gameplay and design were also done well, there are just a two things I didn't agree with:
- Recording accuracy. If this were some sniping game or otherwise placed emphasis on skill in aiming with the mouse, then yeah, recording accuracy would be neat. However, this seems more like a shoot-em-up, bullets flyin' everywhere type of game (not that there's anything wrong with those, by the way), and I can't help but feel just a little punished for being a little trigger happy. I would have instead like to see some other type of performance-based stat, say how long you can go without getting hit, or how quickly you can kill the Fat Bacteria or something like that.
- Having to start from the very beginning each time. I know it's endurance and all, but I never liked having to do that unless I wanted to. Some checkpoint system would have been nice. Of course, you probably have to design a system that accommodates for this, so that it can't be abused.
Onto some other aspects I liked:
- Ability to adjust volume for music and sounds individually. I love this in games.
- Ability to pause. On top of that, since the game controls are keyboard-based, I can actually unpause the game using the keyboard as well, instead of having to take my hand off and use the mouse. (Although it sorta falls apart with the menu, though. This is a challenge to try and rectify in Flash games (: )
(Basically, game is quite user-friendly)
- Smooth controls and two sets of movement controls. While the spacebar was fine for me for shooting, maybe add another key for shooting as well.
- Going the extra mile to draw all the various effects and poses for different actions, such as moving N/S/E/W for the player, taking damage (player and bacteria), and nullified projectiles.
Again, great job, soldiers. Keep it up.

Thanks a ton for the feedback! I dig your ideas for the different stat recording bonuses. As for starting at the beginning, if this were a game that consisted of different levels I'd be all for checkpoints. We're actually working on a different project that will incorporate this. We terminated development on Path-o-Gen prematurely to jump on some hot leads, else this would have been a much more robust experience. Glad you enjoyed it!
