I made a game(Meaty City)[PLAYTESTERS NEEDED]

[sillywizzard]

Arena top-down shooter with cartoonish gore and a stupid name. Made in Unity.

Gameplay:

At the moment, the game has a company of seven levels. There are currently nineteen types of monsters and six weapons in the game. 

The main focus of the gameplay is quickly killing enemies to increase combos and collect points, which determine the speed of recovery after one hit and the acquisition of abilities. I tried to fit in the combo system organically, so during the game it should not be out of tune with your playstyle.

 

The game does not have play testers, so some aspects may be unclear or unbalanced. If you write down your impressions of the game, this will greatly help in development.

 

Now the game has music written by Niko Kozlowitz, you can listen to his work on this YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GoatFreq/videos

It's been a long time since the last update was released.
In the new version, the company was completely redesigned, there were fewer levels (only four compared to the previous six), but they became noticeably longer and more thoughtful.
In addition, new abilities and alternative attacks for weapons, two new enemies and many objects were added to diversify the gameplay of each specific level.
An extra lives system has also been added on top of point-based healing to allow players to survive longer levels.
The game levels now play a track written by Niko Kozlowitz specifically for the game.

    • Octopus - Most of the time is in its spectral form. Fires a harpoon every couple of seconds, at which point he becomes vulnerable.

    • on low difficulty now only 1500 points are enough for heal (previously it was 3000)
    • on medium difficulty now only 3000 points are enough for heal (previously it was 4000)
    • on low difficulty the number of enemies has noticeably decreased
    • on medium difficulty the number of enemies has also decreased slightly
    • the highest difficulty level is effectively equal to the average in previous versions (I will add a higher difficulty level later)

     

     

• Slightly changed the interface design, now it should become more readable.
• Hints are now much more visible and do not hang on the screen after the player has left the area with a question mark.
• I tried to make the main menu more compact and intuitive.

New version 0.10:

 

This time I won’t make a list with additions, since essentially one significant feature was added.
Now, by pressing the "E" key, the player can release his unrealistically long arm and use it as a grappling hook to cling to walls, it can also push away enemies and pick up objects in the distance.
Small quality of life features were also added in the form of a warning before enemies attack, as well as a death screen and a screen before the end of the level.

This update was supposed to include a new level and a couple of new enemies as it was in other numbered updates, but recently I broke my arm and now it will be difficult for me to test them.

Oh hey, a fellow itch.io...er. =D

 

Weirdly enough i'm also currently working on what is technically a top down shooter (3/4 view to be exact).

 

I'm less versed in Unity (I'm a weirdo who stuck with the outdated GMS 1.4) but at a first glance this looks well coded, even with the option to play in the browser, i like that. Tried it in Firefox and it worked well. It has a pretty distinct art style too, things fit together.

 

The UI is still a bit "much" imo, it clashes a bit with the colorful overall design (Yellow text on yellow-ish background, that sorta thing).

You could try to give the UI text a black or white outline to somewhat mitigate the color clashing and make values/text more readable at a glance. Or make a (Semi transparent) box for them.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I changed the yellow text and added black edges to it, just like you recommended.
To be honest, making a web version of the game on Unity is very easy, you just download the addon in the Unity Hub and change the platform to WebGL when creating the project build.

I liked the style of those two bit eat ups that you made, I’ll definitely play them when my hand returns to working condition.
