Hello,
I'm wondering if some of you are bored enough to play my awful game and give me feedback (good and bad is fine, just don't be too insulting)
Here is a link to the exe file http://expirebox.com/download/0af8a7605ec0e68ffa7c6dcc6686d557.html
Its my first game maker game and its just me starting off on the learning curve, it is all done with GML, no drag and drop.
Yes its far from perfect and has flaws
1: no shields (I couldn't get them working right so just wimped out and decided not to have any)
2: no background music
3: cannot seem to 'center' the score at the top of the screen
4: once you 'clear' the invaders, it generates new ones but they never shoot again. I can't find that bug.
5: invader speed-up not really good enough
To be honest I have learnt a huge amount in just a few days, how to create and move sprites, do collision detection and do some very very basic programming. I now know 1000x more than I knew this time last week. (even if it is only 0.0001% of what you guys know)
Its been a lot of fun (and very frustrating at times, as I've had to look up so many different things) and I've had a lot a enjoyment doing it (when things worked) but I might ditch this now and start something different.
I know its really poor and an 8 year old could do better, but I think for an old guy who's never done this kind of thing before, it's a reasonable start
I look forward to any feedback and you can be totally honest, I can take it (well, anything but "you suck, old fart, quit now.". )
