why is it raining bullets

also wasd would feel more comfortable than the arrows

but I do like the animations other than the empty shells flying out of a pistol because they don't do that

1: Pretend there are snipers up there or something
2: Okey dokey.
3:I like it that way. So I think I will just keep it.

I like the slowdown effect when dodging bullets even though there are too many flying out there.

And what Elyk said. WASD would be more comfortable.

Updated. Also thanks for all the comments in such a shot time guys! Please if you have any suggestions don't be shy, tell me them via PM or post them in the topic.

i like this so far,
i am excited to see some actual levels and stuff

Great to hear!



Oh and everyone - I need some level Ideas. So start givin me yours. And possibly a drawing of what it should look like .

Another update, and it's pretty major compared to the last one!

If you liked the last update, your gonna love this one.

its pretty good....hey heres an idea....when you press R to restart how about you just make it so you become a different soilder...you know like when you press R the same stuff thats happening on screen is still happening when you reapear...oh and there is some parts where its too high to jump and I end up getting stuck...can you fix that

Uh... Ok I will work on it?

Anyways. Some stuff I forgot to mention, sometimes when you get shot - don't restart just yet. If your guy seems to be atleast slightly standing - he has hope! He is just bandaging himself. It takes a bit. So if you can stay out of the way of fire long enough you can stay in the war!

Thanks to Mice of the Game maker community for the lazy tileset codes.

And should I switch the aiming from mouse to keyboard, making the game slightly more difficult, but the possibility of two players? Or keep it?

I like it so far. It'll be fun playing with people online imo.

I think you should respawn at the beginning a couple seconds after you die though. Or switch to another soldier.

Also, when ever the enemy makes it to your side, it just stands there doing nothing.

also keep it with the mouse imo.

Is that lag when the bullets come at you or is it intentional?

Otherwise cool game bro

Yes it was. And actually I am trying to get it online now. I wil try my best. (not making any promises it will be online though)

I get stuck in holes

I don't die when I fall offscreen

I should respawn when I die

There should be something to do when you reach the end.

The 'Snipers' suck and just make it impossible.

Needs better AI, teammates should shoot at nearest enemy and move towards them, as enemies should move to nearest good guy asnd shoot at them.

It will be fixed as soon as I upload the newest one

Working on it.

It's a W.I.P

Again, It's a W.I.P

If I didn't have them the game would be too easy. But in the next upload it willl be fixed.

I am actually thinking of making this a capture the flag like game, but I will look into that I suppose.

Speaking of uploads, I am uploading the newest version now.

you could always make the enemies harder.

Also, I'm guessing the blood are instances? Maybe you can delete them after a certain amount of time to reduce lag.

I liked this when I played it, especially the slowdown. But now neither download works for me. When I try the one uploaded to the site, it brings me to the login page of the forums saying that files are missing.

New update. And another big one.

Thanks for all the comments and everything guys!
I tried the online thing, and I was not succesfull, to say the least. :C

If anyone is good with online GM games - I would like to see an example or two and I will give you the source to help me with it. I will make sure you aren't some imposter trying to get my source. If I decline your request, It is for a good reason.

Anyways give me some ideas and I will try to add them.

I'm pretty handy with online myself, I could teach you some basics but I'm too busy to get wrapped up in any sort of project.

If you want a quick fix check out Onlin3's Engine, it uses 39dll and is fairly easy and powerful.
