Fire Balls
by yoshizzle
*Roast my game and I'll roast yours if its PC/IPhone :-)*
No waiting. No grinding. All action. Dodge lightning, block plasma bolts, and brace yourself for dragon fire. But beware, enemies will block, kite, and roast you to death. Can you survive 9 levels of fiery mayhem?
Previous online version 0.16 here: https://yungshizzle.itch.io/fire
Big changes:
New enemy - charger who deals heavy damage to shields and is highly resistant to shield explosions
New enemy - firesword user who quickly strafes around obstacles and cuts your bullets
New boss - zombie dragon that shoots massive homing fireballs, summons dozens of guards, and eats them to heal
New mechanic - you can rain down thunder, fire, and plasma bolts by collecting special ammo drops
New experimental mechanic - gain up to 60% damage reduction by collecting shield drops
Smaller changes:
Weapon swapping temporarily slows time by 0.2s
Improved pathfinding AI (especially for melee enemies)
Modified UI and enemy damage/speed
Decreased # waves in early levels, dragons come earlier
General improvements (removed top shielding, fixed critical bugs and UI issues, etc.)
Note: Player in dev version has ability to breathe dragonfire, swing a firesword, and charge/dash but 6 abilities may be too much to choose from... need feedback on whether to include more weapon swapping
Definite:
Larger levels (more obstacles, esp. overhangs)
General polish/thematics
Possible:
Destructive/dynamic/textured obstacles/terrain
Object pooling
Roasts

Game Graphics MechanicsIt's definitely a hot action game! I like the graphics. Although they could all be little more "flat" (backgrounds and ground) if the minimalist style is what you're going for.
I have noticed that
- escape doesn't take you back to main menu
- you can shoot and build shields while the game is paused
- also, when you shoot at an enemy while the game is paused, you can see that enemies insta-shield *
Overall I think the difficulty is too high. * Especially the nonexistent reaction time of enemies makes it hard. And yes, it definitely needs clearer health displays and cooldown displays. Apart from that I don't think it needs more features, attack and defence is all it takes!

Thanks a bunch for the feedback! Nice catching those bugs; never thought of testing controls during pause.It's a strange mix of minimalist and "realistic" graphics, all revolved around a fire theme. Am currently experimenting with character graphics upgrades and "minimalist" but destructive terrain.
Will update the game in a few days with player buffs, clearer displays, and more realistic enemy AI (including nonzero reaction time). With a new explosive shield mechanic, the player should be able to dish out much more damage. Beginners should hopefully be able to get past level 1 on their first or second try.

Controls Level DesignHey YOSHIZZLE,
I streamed my play test to youtube in case your interested in wathching :)
https://youtu.be/QCFLo8E-p_k
At first I was impressed by the quality of the production, higher that average on this site IMO.
The game play and graphics were instantly engaging, and there seemed to be a bit more there with the text on the map (I really like this idea btw) and so on.
But it wore off quickly as the levels became repetitious and the obstacles and settings don't seem to impact heavily.
I feel that this is a marketable product, that would be helped by further development to add variety and polish.
Looking forward to the next release :)

Hi Daniel. Thanks a lot for the feedback! Your gameplay is valuable. Glad you liked the riots; theme is currently being added...Endless kiting is an issue; I'm surprised you got to level 5 without using shields. Player speed will be lowered and the first few levels will be changed to emphasize the power of shielding more. Ammo drops might stop the kiting too.
Update coming in a week.

Mechanics AnimationI think this is a good game and I like the minimalist art style. I've made it to what I believe is the first boss. It's a good foundation as far as the graphics and the gameplay!
* I like the idea of having the left mouse button as an attack and the right mouse button as a defensive shield. This is very simple to grasp.
* The text on the map really caught my eye and I thought it was a nice touch.
* I would like for there to be a way to get back to the main menu in game.
* I like the graphics and think they could be even better with polish.
* Maybe add more features?

Thanks for playing! I'm revamping all animations soon for a truer, minimalist look (explosions will be even more epic though). Pause menu should have a main menu option; if not, I'll make that change. More enemies, weapon types, etc. will definitely be added.

Game Graphics AnimationNice work! I really liked the game graphics but I didn't think the animation was the best. I like the idea of having the left mouse button as an attack and the right mouse button as a defensive shield.
