Ghost Blaster

GAMEPLAY:

Make your way through each level killing ghosts and other supernatural nasties on the way, collect 3 golden skulls on each level.

You also collect coins which can be used to upgrade weapons.

Planning to release on gamejolt, android and windows phone 8 to begin with

Love the look

Thank you very much

A couple of enemies that I have been working on

The First Level from Ghost Blaster only another 29 to go

I have uploaded a demo version of Ghost Blaster to Gamejolt (3 levels)

Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Ok so I have played the 3 levels you uploaded, very quick review:

Good:

Game felt smooth, i didnt notice any bug.

Graphs were good, all the assets were done in the same vein so no patchwork of styles.

Bad:

If those are supposed to be the starting levels the level design is quite awful, and if its not its still pretty bad. Most of the deaths are due to things you cant avoid/couldnt foresee. So you have to die one time on almost every obstacle to progress, and thats not really good design. Overall your level design and a few elements of your gameplay could be so much better.

How am i supposed to know which key to press to fire? Its not written in the tutorial.

The sound design in general gets tiring really fast, i cant give you much advice as its also not my forte.

Cheers for the feedback

They are the starting levels but it is a work in progress so they are not as they will be when finished, just wanted to get some feedback to see where I needed to improve things. Tried to make the levels quite hard so you couldn't just complete them straight away but maybe need to make things a little less cruel on the first time through.

Will update the tutorial it was originally written with touch controls in mind and I have overlooked the fire button, although the instructions in gamejolt do mention the controls.

The sound is very basic at the moment and will be improved greatly

Glad you liked the graphics

The sprites/tiles themselves are not bad, but I think the walls could do with a less bright color. Something darker would enhance the creepy theme.

10 levels are now available to play on gamejolt

Will be releasing on android shortly as well

Nicely done! Let us know when it's on Android!

let me know what you think

more levels coming soon

Hi Darth Crusher//// I like this game, retro graphics, secret levels, runs good on my Asus memo HD7. But i think you have to add player death animation. And there is a reare bug: sometimes the level restarts automatically without any reasons.

Thanks for your comments

I am currently working on new animations and enemies so a death animation will be added

I know the bug you refer to, it has occasionally happened but have not yet been able to track down the reason for it.

Is there any particular level you find the restart on?
