Major polish update
Bullet Boy: Arena » Devlog
Major polish update from the jam version. I've been working on this for about a week now.
Heres what i added:
- ScReEnShAkE - lots and lots of screenshake
- improved sounds - most noteably the hover sound in the main menu and bonus sound
- changed icon - changed it from the default lightning icon
- added particles when the player collides with something
- added splatters when enemies die
- improved GUI - more distinguishable health and score
- floating heart - added a heart icon that floats from the enemy to the health counter
- smoke trail behind the player - added a trail of smoke when you move
- squash and stretch when you move - subtle but you strech while you're moving
- changed the players face - also really subtle but gave him a more intense look
- added a game over screen when you die
- made levels change every 12,5 seconds - the game got really boring after a while in the original version and you had to die to go to the next stage
What i plan to add in the future:
- proper animations for the enemies - there are some animations now but they're really hard to notice
- collectibles/boosters - randomly spawning bonuses/collectibles to encourage the player to move around the arena
- achievements - something to motivate the player to keep playing
- streaks - killstreaks when you kill more enemies at once
