Project C

I like the game, it's simple and fun to play. However, there is always room for growth.

Improvement:

- Add visual/sound feedback for hits, kills, and money

- Show enemy strength progression. Level transitions need clearer cues

- UI may respond when upgrades can't be bought

- Add score display, health indicators, (maybe) hold-to-fire

Good potential, just needs more juice and clarity.

The game is definitely on the fun side, however i do think that it does lack a bit of juiciness, where i think something extravagant like the zombies just blowing up or some sort of animation when they die would make it better with some sound effects. The controls are unique in my opinion, most people me included with muscle memory still had a finger on the spacebar but this was easier. The artstyle is really nice, the mc kinda looks like red from pokemon(unrelated).

I think overall the game has potential, its kinda like ones where you spend hours on levelling up and getting stronger, but a high score would make it even better.

I like the idea! One thing I’d suggest is making it more clear when the game moves to the next level. I noticed that in the second level (or what I assume is the second), zombies take more bullets to kill, but visually they look the same. It would be great if their appearance changed slightly — maybe different colors or textures — to help differentiate the stronger ones. Maybe show a short screen title for a few seconds like: “NEXT LEVEL!!! Zombies are now tougher!” — or something like that. 

Pros:

• The graphics of this are really cool, love the Minecraft looking tools with a bit of a twist. Even the menu is impressive and clearly a lot of effort was put into the aesthetic.
• Being able to upgrade your player between games to get stronger is really cool

Suggestions:

• Clicking 'take a break' from the menu breaks the game I think ( had to reload the page to play again
• It would be nice to add some feedback in the main menu if you can't upgrade due to lack of money. at the moment it just doesnt respond at all.
• I really struggled to well in the beginning and it took me a while to get to the stage where I was able to buy upgrades to progress. This might be a skill issue to be honest
• Maybe it would be cool to be able to move the player in a later developments
• It would be nice to keep track of the score 

pros:

• I like the design.
• I find the game loop fun.
• The UI is nice and simple to navigate.

cons:

• I really miss any sort of health indication, either the player’s or some sort of feedback on hitting the enemies as I often didn’t know whether they hit me and disappeared or I hit and killed them.

other notes:

• First of all I think you should move the stuff for the testers into the description, I wouldn’t assume everyone’s curious about the devlog :D
• I’d appreciate a way to hold an arrow for continuous firing without having to spam click so much.
• I noticed the gun shoots on both button press & release, not sure if that’s an intentional feature.
• I find it could be more visually intuitive to split up the player and enemy modifiers in the shop a bit more, you have 3 rows of [ only Player | Player & Enemy | only Enemy ] upgrades, it’d make more sense to me to just split them into two triplets of player & enemy upgrades/downgrades.
• Maybe some enemy variations could be interesting, even simple stuff like spawning a special one worth more money would be a pleasant surprise while playing.
