WIP ~ Space Shooter ~

[Uberplayer]

Description:
Being WIP there is not much to tell yet. However, Space Shooter is a vertical scrolling-shooter type of a game.

Use your weapons with the help of bonuses to destroy the enemies floating in the space. Currently, you're not able to shoot the enemies. Reason: They do not exist.


Controls:
You're going to need arrow keys and mouse buttons to control your Space Ship. If you don't own mouse or arrow keys, you're not able to play this.

Moving is done by pressing arrow keys. Aiming and shooting is done my moving and clicking with mouse.

Everything on the right-side menu happens with clicking mouse - changing weapons, using bonuses or toggling options.

What I Want You To Do:
Report any bugs with movement and shooting. If you get any awesome ideas for this map, please use the reply button at let me know it. I might add it, and probably will, if people like the idea.

Anyway, have nice time testing what I have made so far !


Change Log:

Spoiler

Alpha 5:
- Fixed a bug that caused the game crash randomly on start up for some people. (Credits to vypur85 and Artificial)
- Fixed cooldown indicator showing incorrectly when swapping weapons during cooldown
- Cursor no longer turns green when moving it over the Space Ship (Credits to Builder_Bob) NOTE: This isn't working now, I made a mistake, sorry.
- Initialization now takes few seconds, that is to make smoother start up

Screenshots look really appetizing.

I shall try this sometime, hopefully. And I'll post feedback

 

[vypur85]

If you don't have mouse or arrow keys, you're not able to play this.

Seriously, this is really a ridiculous statement. Lol...

...and the map is not playable. Is it only me?

 

[UndeadDragon]

...and the map is not playable. Is it only me?

Yes, I opened it fine.

I have been looking forward to this, and it is really cool. I will be looking forward to the next version :thup: I can see your second map of the week coming soon

EDIT: I forgot to add, the only thing that makes it feel less "spacey" is the cursor, so I think you should get a custom one. Or was that already planned?

 

[Nexor]

hmm, nice map, but there are some bugs, I can't shoot after some clicking on the right side of the map (the menu thing)
I can't turn the ship, it always looks to the bottom of the map

Are there anyway enemies at all?
Idk how you get some weapons, but I couldnt

> ...and the map is not playable. Is it only me?
I'll check it. EDIT:// Opened fine for me. Tried straight through wc3.

> Or was that already planned?
Yes. I was planning it after I made the custom UI. But it wasn't that necessary at the point. And thanks for other comments !

> I can't shoot after some clicking on the right side of the map
Because that's the menu, and in the menu, there are nothing to shoot.

> I can't turn the ship, it always looks to the bottom of the map
"If you don't have mouse or arrow keys, you're not able to play this." Vypur said it was a ridiculous statement. This proves him wrong. So you have to own a mouse. Anyway.. you MOVE the mouse on the field to aim, change direction, change facing of the ship.

> Are there anyway enemies at all?
Read map description. Some dummy enemies are coming soon.

> Idk how you get some weapons, but I couldnt
You have to weapons, currently. Changing them happens by clicking the icons under "Available Weapons" text.

> This proves him wrong

Ridiculous because computers always have keyboard and mouse (unless...). Which was why "You're going to need arrow keys and mouse buttons to control your Space Ship." was already sufficient to describe the requirements. Anyway, cut the crab. This isn't important.

Still not playable for me =.=". Odd. The previous version you sent was still playable. Not sure why this isn't playable. Anyone else having this problem?

It just stall there, and the WC3 song continued playing. Sometimes it closes immediately after loading.

 

[Xofthebest]

I have the same problem, sometimes it freeze and sometimes it crashes.(after loading)

 

[Uberplayer]

[DEL]Okay well. Anyone who had the problem, please test this. After you've tested, let me know if it still crashes on start up, or when you shoot.[/DEL]

Start-up/Shoot crash has been fixed. (hopefully nothing new comes up)

There is still a bug with the movement that happens rarely and randomly. If you figure out why or when it happens, please notify me.

 

[Prometheus]

Awesome. I really hope to see this go further.

 

[Eyonix]

This is amazing, This game will kick ass once you get some things to shoot in there, Never seen this type of map before.

 

[Galdiuz]

Really cool! Just don't make it too hard. (In some games of this style it's almost impossible to complete the first level...)

 

[Nexor]

I lost control on the edges after some seconds. and in the first map I couldnt shoot when I clicked on the menu(not f10, the right side of the map)

 

[Uberplayer]

> Just don't make it too hard.
Harder the better .

> I lost control on the edges after some seconds.
What do you mean by losing control?

> and in the first map I couldnt shoot when I clicked on the menu
I answered that already. You're not supposed to shoot to the menu.

 

[Prometheus]

Nex, were you using wep #2?

 

[Nexor]

By losing control I mean that I couldnt move the ship with the arrows.

@kc102:

wep?

 

[Prometheus]

I thought you meant the wep #2, which has a random fire.
