This looks really great... !
Pretty looking game. I have played it a couple of times and enjoyed it... but I feel like it needs something more. The actual gameplay is very simplistic: left/right/left/right, then hit the fire buttons at the right split-second to shoot. Maybe make the shooting a bit more of an aiming contest, perhaps.
Thank you very much, also for your feedback.
This looks really fun. Thanks for making it!
If you have time to make future changes, would you want to consider making the text in mixed upper and lower case? Also, background music could help with the " "feel" of the game. If you have ROM space, making the landscape more random and an extra MOB for a bird or wildlife in the background could be fun too.
Looking forward to trying this out soon!
Our programming skills are very limited, so we had to use foreground/background mode, in which only capital letters are available. Personally, I find background music in a sports game quite distracting. In the current version, all “user-defined cards” are already occupied, so there is no room for additional MOB objects. The runner itself already consists of 4 MOBs to make it look better. There is also hardly any room left for the background, and due to our lack of programming skills, I would not know how to design something random there. But thank you very much for your response and suggestions.
I need more things like this!
Congratulations
Thanks!
