Answer 1

Thank you all for the great feedback and valuable suggestions. You inspire me to write more code and study harder. The most upvoted features are now implemented and I've learned a lot in the process. Here is the most recent version for you to give it a try:

v0.08 (build 800)
+ pause menu;
+ zoom in and out;
+ adjustable settings;
* powerups appear more often;
* creeps speed reduced.

Feel free to drop me a note and share your ideas. Criticism is also welcome.

Answer 2

Thanks for your kind words, Daniel. The game is developed 100% in Unity, although I believe it is possible to make games in Android Studio too. Unity just makes a lot of gaming-related things much more easier.

Answer 3

Speaking of learning Unity, I did start from the official tutorials at https://unity3d.com/ru/learn/tutorials. Then there were some channels on YouTube (you can safely pick at random - they are all good to my liking). Then slowly but surely you begin to go on your own. Feel free to pm me in case you'd like to discuss it in more details.

Answer 4

Thanks for the feedback. In the meantime, I do work on the pause menu (mute sound/fx etc.). Could you please provide me with more details regarding the controls. How exactly does it perform on your device?

Answer 5

How did you learn Unity? I mean did you make a course in an academy or with tutorials and that stuff? I am really looking foward to learn Unity too

Answer 6

Those are good poits, Rocky. I plan to implement these features on the weekend.

Answer 7

Thanks for your kind offer. To begin with, could you please translate the game description (in the topic header).

Answer 8

its good
it's like the games in 90s.
The controls aren't very friendly though .
I prefer the jump button right.

Answer 9

I think it really cool and when you add a menu and the exit option it will be great (also you could make different characters to choose it would be awesome)😁

Answer 10

Congrats, it's a really great game! I like the sound of each weapon, character design is also cool :) It runs smoothly on my Samsung Galaxy S5. I hope you continue adding more features to it and different landscapes :) I'm not so used to the arrows controller, I prefer swiping on the screen but it's fine, it works great ;)

Answer 11

Sure, looking forward to your feedback. To become a beta-tester, just get the game on Google Play:

Answer 12

Answer 13

I see people that ask about how to learn Unity.
I learn Unity, and there is a great instructor called Ben Tristem, who has courses on Unity in Udemy website.
he has a 50 hours course that takes you from the basics of Unity and C#, until you are able to make your own games.
He is a great instructor!

This is his website, enjoy.

Answer 14

Hi there!

I really like your game!!
I feel like this is going to be a very popular game soon if you add some characters and more weapons to unlock.
However the game is working very fluently on my phone so good job man ;)

There are some small bugs like when 2 enemies go in the opposite direction into each other they begin to fly into the air, but that's not a big problem

In summary: awesome job, I love the game, and the graphics are beautiful!!

and your unity skills are incredible, whish I could do something like this too :P

Answer 15

Very nice game ! ;)
There are just a few things which are not so good.... like (Just for example)when the music is ended, there are a few seconds with just the gun sound. But these things are just ver little negatives. The game himself is very, very good !!!
Your Unity skills are just awesome !!!

:)

Answer 16

It's not bad for beta you can make a menu and power ups then pause menu but for the first time it's a good idea your project

Answer 17

👏👏 First of all congrats for the start and keep it up.
Advice & Critics: Controls are not working smoothly, at least not on my device. Should include a menu, a back option, pause option and also sound off options.
That's it for now. 😃

Answer 18

Hi!
I really like your game. It's fun and the game works really well on my phone. Your game looks really nice and if you add a bit more content it's going to be really cool.

You are doing a great job.

Answer 19

Not a bad start. However, the controlls are uncomfortable. It would be better with an analog stick or something like that.

Answer 20
