    Weak

    This game looks weak. I appriciate the effort though. Not impressive.

    Welcome to TA ;)

    I think your game is great, keep working on it, though don't forget the other one! :D

    One idea: Upgrades for the player..Rate of firing, etc... :)

    so if one parachutist landed, we'll lose? or there are certain numbers before we lose?

    you shoud implement online leaderboards.

    I like it! great job! I think the gameplay is great! works smoothly. I'm surprised the memory is only 0.1MB considering the ragdoll physics and the blood splattering effects. Out of curiosity did you do this straight in Xcode or did you use a development package.

    The art style reminds me of falling balls.

    I think the main thing missing for me is sound effects.

    I use: http://www.soundsnap.com for sound effects. There are some other websites too I think.

    I think it would be funny if they parachutists said some crazy things when you kill them... "Why me?" "I hate this job!" stuff like that...

    I second that
    The game has come up very well, the Stick anime is EPIC & so the blood splatter fx :D
    I love the part where the Souls go up once the game is over! Its S:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Kool! :D
    Can be the next big thing :) , seriously :cool:

    This one has Great Gfx & concept, Can go a looooooooong way, Just needs some Addos like the one above, couple of weapons,
    A Pistol - Kills in 2 (1 + headshot) or 3 shots (bodyshots)
    A Shotgun - Kills in 2 shots, has a wider range
    A Machine gun - Quick fire rate, Kills in 1 shot
    A Bazooka - The one that you have is Purfect! :cool:
    A hand grenade - Does splash damage

    Add a point system, make us buy weapons & ammo.
    Make us sell weapons that we are not Good @.
    Allow us to change the order of arranging the weapons
    You could add Headshot Bonus too!

    EDIT:
    I re-watchd the video, the trail fx right aftr the rocket are great, you surely pay attention to the details, don't U?

    How about adding Torpedoes as anothr set of weapons ?
    There are so many things you can do, you have come this far! C'mon!
    You could add a couple of crosshair designs where we could pick one.... as in various games :cool:

    PS : You'll need to change the name of the game thou :eek:

    EDIT 1 : trying to embed the Video

    EDIT 2 : Sheesh, just noticed that the youtube has it as rocket launchr, not the game itself, sorry, no itunes @ office :eek:

    EDIT 3 : Removd Vid as its added to the OP (Original post, I guess :rolleyes:)

    i like the screen shot that I'm seeing...the graphics definitely look fun, and the ideas already proposed are really good as well with the upgrades and powerups

    ...if you have any video showing the game in motion, I would really like to see that, too

    here it is embedded...I'm not a mod, so I can't put it in the OP unfortunately :(




    lol, now that was pretty cool...couple of things

    ...one of the shots missed the person but clearly hit the parachute...but it didn't have any effect...I think that should have destroyed the guy's parachute and sent him falling down to the ground with his arms waving in panic and then he dies in a splatter of blood
    ...I like the guys getting smushed against the side of the screen, but it doesn't seem as satisfying when they got shot above the top of the screen...what if they get smushed against the top like the guys do on the side
    ...ha ha, liked the guys floating up afterwards, tho, it would be funny if they had little wings...also, it would add to the humor if you had random (or it could depend on body count) sayings each time the game ended so that we don't just see "Look at how many people you killed" each time. I don't know...maybe, "You painted the ground in blood.", etc.

    Yeah, I'll work on that...I'm also thinking of storing your total enemies killed and add a feature that lets you upload that to a server, and after you do that it will show you the total enemies killed worldwide...what do you guys think?

    I did this right in Xcode and made the physics and blood myself...do you think it would look better if i had the blood stick to the walls?

    Haha, thanks for your suggestions ^^ For the weapons, I'll probably have you swipe across the player to switch what he's holding. And the enemies might explode into coins that you can use to buy weapons/upgrades after a wave?

    Yeah, definitely!

    $1.99 is HIGH for what you are offering actually...

    Why don't U create a FREE version for the Current state of the game, Add a few features Suggested & make them DLC ?

    For PpL who hav bought it already, update the existing version as they have already paid for it ?

    The Scoreboard actually is scorebored for me... It is not a re-playability factor for ME

    Yeah, scoreboards are second priority...I'm working on adding the weapons and point system first ^^

    actually it's looking nice! I wouldn't like if the blood would stick on the walls.....

    Some suggestions:
    like ultimo said already, 1,99$ is a little bit expensive, why not make the current state of the game as a lite (probably with a limited number of enemy's that can be killed, so people would need to buy it, or with adds, but adds please only in the start screen and the options menu ;))

    With more weapons, and a upgrade system (probably for each weapon? eg. accuary, power, range etc.)

    would like to see things like grenades, mindes (if some enemys manage to land :D), shotgun, sniper rifle, machine gun, bazooka, splatter grenades, bow and arrow, flamethrower....and a grab hook like just cause 2 has :D.

    diffrent types of enemys (stronger, weaker, probably some with weapons? but than you have to make movement of the player able...)
