Heaven Variant is a nice looking horizontal shooter. Promising stuff.
Developer about the game:
“Sidescrolling shooter prototype I call “Heaven Variant.” Not finished at all. The question mark 3D boxes towards the end are placeholders for battleships, and the enemies don’t do much except shoot and fly away (into the background or foreground). Upgraded weapon system is in place where you can use temporary upgraded weapons with an ammunition counter (top right). Also have heat seeking missiles that launch when you get enough consecutive kills (top left). The HUD is supposed to look computery, and what I didn’t show was camera shaking when you’re hit, and dynamic zooming, though I think it was in another video I uploaded. *shrugs*
Upgraded gun types shown:
-Shotgun
-Machine Gun
-Sniper Rifle
-An Even More Powerful Machine Gun
-(and heat seeking missiles, but they don’t count)”
Looks great, only problem i can see with it is that the background enemies are extremely distracting from the foreground enemies
Okay, that was cool. Though I can see about the background enemies. Perhaps a highlight around actual targets to help things.
