Kongregate Shootorial

[MrRubix]

So, we're planning on making an awesomely unfair shooting game. Like if you combined Raiden X with IWBTG.

Ideas for unfair elements?

No powerups and no auto-fire. Must vibrate to truly do well.

who is "we"?

Re: Kongregate Shootorial

Us that were in the chat. Enemies that shoot themselves to hurt you. .75 chance of dying randomly, it's going to be brutal.

Re: Kongregate Shootorial

chance of dying randomly makes no sense... death still needs to be in the players control at all times.

have touhou-esque bosses that require pixel-perfect movements to avoid being hit. *shrugs*.

have certain power-ups kill you. not random though.

Re: Kongregate Shootorial

Bosses have massive attacks that only leave a tiny little spot for you to avoid, oh and they kill you instantly.

Make the fodder enemies kill you in one shot. xD

Re: Kongregate Shootorial

enemies that do kamikaze attacks and chase you around indefinitely to try to crash into you?

Re: Kongregate Shootorial

Power-ups which morph into like 20 ships, spontaneously.

Re: Kongregate Shootorial

you know having pointlessly stupid ones that just make the game impossible isn't fun at all. It should be hard, it should be unfair, but it should be beatable. Whatever we implement I will make Rubix run through it, and if he can't beat a part of it it will be removed.

That said, we want more creative suggestions, not more stupidly extreme suggestions. Although they should be creatively extreme.

Re: Kongregate Shootorial

I couldn't agree with jon more. Anyways, my suggestions that have already been mentioned in the chat:

Game first begins with vertical, but switches to sideways scroll; however, your ship still shoots upwards

Any bullet that doesn't hit an enemies reflects back at you.

Random reflection of bullets, which was already mentioned, and isn't even my idea (just making sure this is said).

Etc. =P

ship should turn into a penis at some point. distractions.

Re: Kongregate Shootorial

Every five seconds have a popup flash that says:
"DEMO VERSION, PLEASE DOWNLOAD HERE"
rofl
ships that appear behind you

[rushyrulz]

Re: Kongregate Shootorial

Time limit, one shot death, auto death if time is exceeded. Insane prices for upgrades, extremely hard bosses.

Re: Kongregate Shootorial

ship should turn into a penis at some point.

So, R-Type Final?


Also, any shooter game with one-shot death automatically makes me just not interested in playing it, so I guess I won't be playing this one.

Re: Kongregate Shootorial

The point is to make it funly hard, not retarded.
