The third main boss Ursa:

This is a 3d model i'll be using for a template that will then be imported for 2D animating.

Checking out the latest boss parts work right.

Thanks for the compliments! If you play a level that you thought was boring or too frustrating feel free to tell me.

As I've been going through the game some of the earlier levels I made may seem a bit weak in design compared to later ones while I got used to construct 2.

I think the robots speed is fine unless you wanted to add a dash on double tap or something similar. Slowing the pickup maximum drop speed I would say will be better.

Liking the idea of this and can see it being a good game fully fleshed out.

A few things I thought didn't work too well or suggestions I think would make the game better:

The way the enemy objects bounce around when you hit them looks odd to me. the way they randomly instantly move and change angle. I think it would look a lot better with a different effect such as bouncing the opposite direction the bullet hit it slightly or gradual movement insteat of instant.

As medipacks and health etc reach the bottom bit they seem a bit too fast for me. Maybe lowering the max fall speed of them a little.

Even when collecting every ammo with two guns equipped I ran out before there was more ammo to collect. This makes the gameplay a little frustrating when waiting for ammo. Especially if it drops in an area you have to charge into tons of enemies for.

Apart from those things I found it enjoyable to play.

Awesome I replaced my shoddy save code with webstorage with global variables and my project works a lot better.

Thanks for the reply.

I have auto saving in my game but at the moment it currently works like this:

-first layout loads game and sets a load variable.

-it loads the game where it saved at the end of a level and with load variable on it takes you to the main menu.

-main menu takes the load variable off.

The problem I have is I can get some weird errors when doing this aswell as random sounds playing in the main menu screen.

Is there a way to not save game state but to just save global variables as they are and then load the global variables on start up?

Sorry for the direct download and size it's a bit too big to make a website version of it now.

Thanks! i'm hoping to add a bit more to it like maybe some lighting because I don't think its quite at what it should be yet.

I use a tablet to do the artwork in the game though its a cintiq draw on screen kind rather than the standard tablet.

Thanks for the compliments the animation are what I spend a lot of my time with on this game so i'm hoping to have them look nice.

I Use flash for my animations but mostly redraw every frame separately to not have the motion-tween feel to it.

On humanoids I animate simple skeletons in 3dmax to cheat with keeping proportions right because i'm not really skilled enough to keep it all uniform in freehand animation. Then I draw over it in flash.
