I have created this pacman style game and posted it on Kongregate here(http://www.kongregate.com/games/LiquidRain/ghost-run).
If you do happen to play it i am wanting to know if the colors I choose and the theme are good, if you think i need to change something, or if you absolutely hate it ![]()
Honestly, it’s a good start…but you’ve got a good ways to go.
First, consider making the camera angle a little higher so that there’s a better line of sight to the player; it feels like the player has to look through the board to themselves.
Second, I notice that moving along the “X” axis is faster than moving along the “Y” axis; this simple fact got me caught by the ghosties a time or two, which is unacceptable; the ghosts should catch you because A) there’s four of them and B) …well, there’s four of them!
Third, the music, while pretty is hardly a good in-game theme; it would suit a title screen much better.
Fourth, the character is too heavy; when pressing a movement key, it takes the character too long to start moving; lighten your obvious Pac-Man ripoff up a little!
Fifth, while I love the Ghosts, try to make the character a little more original…Pac-Man has already been done, you’re better than that!
I hope these critiques help you…you’ve got a good start, now take it to the next level!
Lots of bugs… The first time I played this I fell through the map.
I do not like the fact that the some areas you get cornered, like they get in and bam!, you have no choice but to get killed. Add speed up items, health, and possible invisible items or w/e to make the game play better as well, but as it is work in progress it is off to a good start.
I really liked this, the music was great, the ghosts were flashy. So yeah, the theme is good. Nice job.
Very good start!
Love the ramps and the fact that the ghosts have to take the ramps down, adds a lot of extra strategy!
Level needs to be redesigned, to easy to get trapped.
Ghosts are very good looking!
Character is unoriginal and starts to slow, as Asvarduil said: you can do better than that : )
You should probably spice up the level a bit, maybe add some more color and effects or something.
thx and I am surprised that some people like you can understand that when you post something in the “work in progress” it means work in progress. I have planed to make it more of a army style game but I haven’t got their yet. I personally like the angle but i might change it to see if it looks better. I have a title screen but am working on the textures for it so therefore their is no title screen yet. The music is just for making it not quiet(music by me) and I have planned to fix pacman, but when i change the theme pacman wont exist so therefore there is no reason, he is for testing.
@ Prion Games. These have been acknowledged and are similar to my ideas but this is not a finished project as I hope you can tell by what section this post is. I will make different themes for this game such has what they have done whit Angry Birds(Holiday, Rio and space)
Thanks for the feedback guys! it really helps
Just FWI, I have spent about 5 hours on this project and the music was done in like 5 minutes so don’t judge so harshly
Hey could you update the first post with some pictures to match the rules of this forum.
Sorry for being a noob but… Where are these rules so i can read them?. cant seem to find them
