[ENTRY] Deathchase

This is really cool. My first attempt I died shortly after starting level two. 🙂 Apparently I’ve spent too much time coding and not enough time playing. Nice work guys.

Definitely a fun, fast paced game, and it uses the 3D effect really well! I never played the original, but I’m sure it looks way cooler in 3D!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

@DogP: I had never played it either, but when Matej showed me, I instantly knew it would make a great VB game.

I hope this isn’t against the spirit of the competition, but it turns out I goofed and somehow messed up the parallax calculation in the submitted version (collaboration with someone seven time-zones away has its problems, even on the Internet… or maybe because of it :-P). Here’s a fixed version.

I just played it one more time and compared it with videos of the original. I think it’s quite impressive how good your clone is.

It seems like the enemies in the original are more agile though. I your version I usually have problems shooting at them as they are stuck on the outer sides of the screen and I can’t reach them there.

Also it seems like there are more obstacles in the original and the player is forced to navigate through because of the agility of the enemies. As in your version the enemies are usually stuck on the outer sides of the level I can mostly avoid coming close to a tree.

Did you consider putting in a bigger a variety of obstacles/enemies? I can see that it is the same in the original but after the second level the game starts feeling very repetitive as you basically do/see the same thing all of the time.

I’m not meaning to criticizes your game. I think it is great effort for 2 weeks of coding. Just wanted to throw in some ideas that might make it even better.

This is an interesting game, I hadn’t heard about it before either, but it seems well executed! Also always nice to see the affine mode put to use. Good work, guys!
