Shadow Wings

[mellow sleet]

I’m making a mobile game called shadow wings. It’s a drone strategy game in which the player will fly around searching for hidden enemies and targets, or will track down an assigned target while avoiding being detected by anti aircrafts and other ground units.

Added player allies that’ll take down the marked targets

Added homing missiles and did a little ui work

[fallow forge]

try adding some post proccesing

[mellow sleet]

I’m still working on game mechanics and I’m trying to get feedbacks on the core gameplay, I’ll add post processing once I’ve gotten to a good position in game mechanics logic

Some new updates to the game can be found here

Imagine throwing missiles towards a drone, hahahah. I like it though. Keep it going! 😀

Got the last one with 2 seconds left lol

Anyway pretty hard to read the starting text, I may be dumb, so consider using regular instead of all italic. I didnt like the way you move the drone. It's better a finger to rotate on the Y axis so you remove the left and right arrows. Two joysticks would still be better anyway than the arrow mess in my opinion. I didnt like the graphics but I suppose it's ok for a beta. My framerate was terrible but I tried ignoring that. Settings and credits options dont work in the menu while the Survival one makes your game freeze instead. Enemies are really hard to see in the woods. Why dont you add something to recognize them? (E.g. a mid-high antenna?) You should use checksphere instead of raycast to detect if an enemy is near else it's boring to turn the right direction to flag it. I didnt like there is not sound at all. Not even the ZZZZZZZZZZ looped of the drone flying. Ally tanks may fly due to poor navmesh quality generation. I didnt find any challenge after the first minute of playing the game and it was just boring. You should really add a challenge more than just the timer. In the third level I didnt even understand what to do so I gave up and I stopped reading the start screen because of my first point. Why is the terrain green? Like literally green? On cc0 textures .com you find a grass texture for free CC0 in 5 seconds. Last but not least the scale of the buttons on the menu is completely off since they are way too small. Also I didnt get the "Go to results" button. Just take me to the results...

Nice job 😁👍🏾

Thank you so much for this extensive review, I’ll make sure that I work on each and every thing you’ve pointed out, thanks once again

The game is still very early in development (about 3 weeks so I haven’t had time to work on the main menu buttons and other modes) but I’ll make sure to have worked on everything in the next update I upload

[upbeat oracle]

Yea, it was very troll. Disable the buttons not working because else you are just trolling your users 🤣

[upbeat oracle]

I like drones.

[mellow sleet]

Sure 😂👍🏾

[mellow sleet]

I rewrote the drone controller script, it should be easier to control now and I removed the power slider and switched it for a power switch

Also redesigned the icon

New update according to the play testers, there are still alot on my to do list but I’m working towards it

[upbeat oracle]

Doesn't seem the game I did play lol.

[upbeat oracle]

Pls optimize the game though. It's frustrating to have 30fps.

Either use lower poly count and texture quality of trees or reduce the density of them.

[mellow sleet]

I haven’t uploaded it yet, I’m working on some bug fixes, I’ll upload once I’m done

[mellow sleet]

Yeah working on it

[mellow sleet]

I’m changing the assets in the game to some less performance intensive

[upbeat oracle]

If you import them into blender you can change the poly count really easy. Searching for other assets instead can rarely help.
