What do you think I should add to make it better? Just saying it sucks doesn't help anyone :(
maybe because he's expecting too much. what are its features? power-ups? etc?

I'm working on adding power-ups now....do you have any other suggestions while I'm working on the update? =)

Hi billyfish! I think you should know who I am (creator of Cheese Collect!)
I recognised you from your signature ^^ :D
Welcome to TA ;)
I think your game is great, keep working on it, though don't forget the other one! :D
One idea: Upgrades for the player..Rate of firing, etc... :)
so if one parachutist landed, we'll lose? or there are certain numbers before we lose?
you shoud implement online leaderboards.

I like it! great job! I think the gameplay is great! works smoothly. I'm surprised the memory is only 0.1MB considering the ragdoll physics and the blood splattering effects. Out of curiosity did you do this straight in Xcode or did you use a development package.
The art style reminds me of falling balls.
I think the main thing missing for me is sound effects.
I use: http://www.soundsnap.com for sound effects. There are some other websites too I think.
I think it would be funny if they parachutists said some crazy things when you kill them... "Why me?" "I hate this job!" stuff like that...

I second that
I think it would be funny if they parachutists said some crazy things when you kill them... "Why me?" "I hate this job!" stuff like that...
The game has come up very well, the Stick anime is EPIC & so the blood splatter fx :D
I love the part where the Souls go up once the game is over! Its S:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Kool! :D
Can be the next big thing :) , seriously :cool:
This one has Great Gfx & concept, Can go a looooooooong way, Just needs some Addos like the one above, couple of weapons,
A Pistol - Kills in 2 (1 + headshot) or 3 shots (bodyshots)
A Shotgun - Kills in 2 shots, has a wider range
A Machine gun - Quick fire rate, Kills in 1 shot
A Bazooka - The one that you have is Purfect! :cool:
A hand grenade - Does splash damage
Add a point system, make us buy weapons & ammo.
Make us sell weapons that we are not Good @.
Allow us to change the order of arranging the weapons
You could add Headshot Bonus too!
EDIT:
I re-watchd the video, the trail fx right aftr the rocket are great, you surely pay attention to the details, don't U?
How about adding Torpedoes as anothr set of weapons ?
There are so many things you can do, you have come this far! C'mon!
You could add a couple of crosshair designs where we could pick one.... as in various games :cool:
PS : You'll need to change the name of the game thou :o
EDIT 1 : trying to embed the Video
EDIT 2 : Sheesh, just noticed that the youtube has it as rocket launchr, not the game itself, sorry, no itunes @ office :o
EDIT 3 : Removd Vid as its added to the OP (Original post, I guess :rolleyes:)

lol, now that was pretty cool...couple of things
...one of the shots missed the person but clearly hit the parachute...but it didn't have any effect...I think that should have destroyed the guy's parachute and sent him falling down to the ground with his arms waving in panic and then he dies in a splatter of blood
...I like the guys getting smushed against the side of the screen, but it doesn't seem as satisfying when they got shot above the top of the screen...what if they get smushed against the top like the guys do on the side
...ha ha, liked the guys floating up afterwards, tho, it would be funny if they had little wings...also, it would add to the humor if you had random (or it could depend on body count) sayings each time the game ended so that we don't just see "Look at how many people you killed" each time. I don't know...maybe, "You painted the ground in blood.", etc.

Yeah, I'll work on that...I'm also thinking of storing your total enemies killed and add a feature that lets you upload that to a server, and after you do that it will show you the total enemies killed worldwide...what do you guys think?

Haha, thanks for your suggestions ^^ For the weapons, I'll probably have you swipe across the player to switch what he's holding. And the enemies might explode into coins that you can use to buy weapons/upgrades after a wave?

$1.99 is HIGH for what you are offering actually...
Why don't U create a FREE version for the Current state of the game, Add a few features Suggested & make them DLC ?
For PpL who hav bought it already, update the existing version as they have already paid for it ?
The Scoreboard actually is scorebored for me... It is not a re-playability factor for ME

11-11-2009, 01:01 PM
actually it's looking nice! I wouldn't like if the blood would stick on the walls.....
Some suggestions:
like ultimo said already, 1,99$ is a little bit expensive, why not make the current state of the game as a lite (probably with a limited number of enemy's that can be killed, so people would need to buy it, or with adds, but adds please only in the start screen and the options menu ;))
With more weapons, and a upgrade system (probably for each weapon? eg. accuary, power, range etc.)
would like to see things like grenades, mindes (if some enemys manage to land :D), shotgun, sniper rifle, machine gun, bazooka, splatter grenades, bow and arrow, flamethrower....and a grab hook like just cause 2 has :D.
diffrent types of enemys (stronger, weaker, probably some with weapons? but than you have to make movement of the player able...)

Before i was thinking of having the power ups fall from the sky on a parachute, but I'm probably going to have it so you play each wave and earn money, and buy weapons(power ups) at the end of each wave with the coins you earned.

Almost done with the coin physics code(when you shoot the enemy lotsa coins are spawned and fly at the player) After I finish that, I need to work on optimizing the game and make it run faster.
Also, do you guys think the coins should fly to the upper right of the screen to a coin counter? Or should they just fall to the floor and stay there like the stick figure ragdolls, and fly to the coin counter after each wave?

it seems like a logical arrangement for the store, I'd say though include
-a count of how many we have currently of a particular powerup so we know if we need/want to buy
-confirmation for purchasing so we can cancel a purchase if we accidentally hit the wrong button or changed our mind

If you've ever played Ratchet and Clank, the sound when you get a lot of bolts (i love that sound) is the sound I'm going after with the coins ^^

Nice suggestions! Right now the weapons have unlimited range, and it's probably going to stay that way....what do you mean by different armor? A flame thrower would be cool, the flames spreading from person to person. Oh, and if it gets hit with a grenade the body parts will explode everywhere ^^

Hmmm, I think it would be cooler to see a group of parachutists before they've been shot...if you try to show them falling to their death and the ground, everything will be too tiny....and a closeup of them after they've been shot with blood everywhere will make your icon to messy looking I think.

Changed up some colors in Illustrator for the logo, and it just didn't look right, so I'm leaving it as it is. I'm going to work on some homework for a bit, then draw up some concept icons for Shoot Em Down. ^^

How about you make a game then? He's only 15, give him credit! I'm 14 and am only starting to learn how to code, while this guy has numerous apps already on the app store and making a name for himself. :)
So give him a break.

This update is taking forever >.< What I'm going to do is release an update for Shoot Em Down that will have all the new weapons from the start, and it will be a arcade-ish game. Then I will release another game, Shoot Em Down 2 with the added features, such as getting coins for kills, and being able to buy new weapons. I may hold a contest or something where you have to make a video about Shoot Em Down, and the best will be able to beta test Shoot Em Down 2 or something, I'll decide on that later. Anyways, the Shoot Em Down update should be done in 2 days, as long as everything goes smoothly ^^

Wait wtffff!!!! It's out already? Lmaoooo :)
This looks like the new doodle jump to me!! :D
Just wish I can afford to buy this... :(
Add a rocket launcher or flame thrower if u didn't lol
maybe a airstrike attack you can use once in a while?
When I mean airstrike I don't mean the planes dropping bombs, but them flying into the enemies or shooting them down for you lol.
Maybe make it so the dead bodies can fill up the screen eventually and if it happends, you win? Or you can like use two finger swipe to blow the bodies set off the screen and keep playing. Idk, just some ideas lol.
And people LOVE updates. That's how pocket god and doodle jump become famous. Man I wish I had this game right now!!! Looks addicting. xD

Awesome job with the update, although I am having a bit of trouble with serious slowdown in the later stages. Around 300 kills it slows down to the point that I loose.
