My impressions: 1. The bullet patterns sometimes are too difficult to avoid, like it force you to die. Are there bullet patterns at all? or they are just a lot of random bullets? This is not good at all, because too many players will quit. 2. Try randomize the background too to create different atmosphere every time. 3. Explosions don't look too good with spritesheet animations, try particle effects. 4. Adding health bars? Yod New Member Aug 30, 2015 2 0 0 #3 Yod, Sep 5, 2015 Thanks for your advice. I'll improve it on next update. The bullets are based on accuracy of each enemy. Some of them do shoot straight to player, but some of them do shoot a lot of random bullets.
