JavaScript MiniGame: Doom Aerial Invasion (Completed)

[PLA]

Here is a silly little game I made while learning javascript, now with 5 levels, 14 weapons, and a bunch of enemies and items.


Just unzip the file somewhere, drag & drop index.html onto your browser and you're ready to play.

This got drastically better once I got a decent weapon.

Would be nice to have more feedback as to when a weapon is ready to fire. (was playing without audio)

Well this is cute, it's a nice little arcade game. Though are the monsters sprites in general supposed to randomly become invisible?

Seems like a neat idea, how about add a little crosshair when they are not on cooldown?

It's the preloading problem I mentioned, I still haven't figured how to fix it yet. you can download the game and play it offline without the annoyance.

• Getting first weapon can be difficult.
• Why am I sliding on ice? It's hard to dodge projectiles and pick stuff when it takes two seconds to change direction.

Other than that, it's pretty fun.

Given the nature of the game I'm just assuming the doomguy is on hoverskates!
(I'm personally happy to see some momentum happening in a shmup instead of that weird perfect precision you see too often)

Oh I didn't give much thought about the friction n stuffs , I just experimented a bit and was happy with the current settings, guess I'll include a option for those who like more precision controls.

Thanks Vaecrius, although I bet you know that already I still have mention the cacodemon's attack idea is straight took from your hideous destructor mod, I had so much fun playing it.

I just assumed great minds thought alike. :V

Well,I kinda like the idea of slow, powerful attack for monsters, the terrible screeching of the tomato monster right before you die is becoming a little bit iconic for me .

Anyway, I updated the game a bit, hope you guys enjoy it.

Oh, that's definitely an improvement to the early game.

Odd that the crosshair is stuck on the horizon like that though... you're clearly firing upwards so it's not like a fake 3d thing.

I spent quite a few nights and made some improvements, it's now a complete game!

Altough I am not really sure what to write after each mission, it kinda lame currently, I could use some suggestion s.
