Alpha version of my Game

Game link: Hold Ten

Hey guys!

I was building a game where you are the sole survivor of a military operation to recover a military base which was invaded by aliens. I completed the ‘alpha’ version of the game and I would love to hear your opinions….I also would appreciate it if you could suggest a different name for the game

Good start!

I can see you’ve got a good eye for visuals. The lighting and rim lights are very appreciated.

I like the atmosphere and premise of the game. This would go crazy with some dark/moody music to really sell the vibe of your game.

I quite like the name Hold Ten. I think it’s better than Alien Invasion imo.

Few suggestions for you:

The player speed could probably increase a little. It feels a little sluggish as of now.

Maybe the enemies could also have a wider range of light? Sometimes the lasers would come at me far before I could see the enemy on screen. Or maybe a small indicator?

The green orbs could possibly pulse to show they’re something you can interact with.

Nice work!

Thank you for your feedback :blush: ……I will work on your suggestions.

Also these art work are not mine, I got them from a youtuber called Clear Code.

Ya but this is not the final work….I will be submitting the final project with all the necessary screenshots and stuff

The issue with not posting any screenshots is that your post currently looks like this in my mind:

Hey! Here’s an *.exe file, please download and run it, I promise it’s harmless!

Screenshots and videos, while not preventing any maliciousness, give you at least some credibility.
Ideally, you should also embed a web version to your itch, so that no executable files are required, if that’s feasible in your project.

I don’t mean to say all that in a harmful way, just a heads-up why people (myself included) might be hesitant towards trying out your project if you don’t change an approach and make them feel safe.
Good luck nonetheless!

But if i created a wider range of light for enemies such that the player would know that there is an enemy coming, once the arena is full of enemies, it would get lit up too much and it would become difficult to know from which direction the shooting alien is coming. What about reducing the arena size?

Ok…I understand now…..i will try to add some screenshots..thank you :grin:
