I’m making a shoot em up sport with an aerial view. It’s essential gimmick is that, as an alternative of working like a machine-gun, your character throws a boomerang that hit the enemies each on the best way there and again. Other than finishing the extent, the principle purpose is to get the best rating. You get rating for every enemy defeated and get a bonus for killing a number of targets in a single shoot, encouraging you to make fewer assaults.
Now the issue are the bosses. Virtually all of them might be single enemies so you may’t get the bonus and that leaves no room to enhance your rating there. So my query is: which mechanic can I add to reward folks (with rating) for taking part in optimally towards the bosses? And once I say “enjoying optimally” I imply making an motion that requires talent or that lead you to complete the extent quicker.
At the moment I’ve 3 concepts:
- Give a bonus on the finish of the extent, for making fewer photographs. For instance, making 40 photographs in complete offers you 500 factors however making 35 offers you 1000. I examined it with my brothers and so they inform me that they would like beign in a position to shot as a lot as they need with out penalty. Additionally I believe that is the choice more durable to elucidate to the gamers.
- Give a bonus in keeping with the time that takes to kill the boss. My drawback is that typically you would wish to attend to the boss and/or its minions to align for an ideal shot and the timer would discourage it.
- Give one other bonus in the event you hit the identical enemy 2 instances in the identical shot, even when it doesn’t kill it. My solely drawback right here is that I do not like to offer factors to the participant till the enemy is defeated
You possibly can clarify me which of those choices is the very best (and why) or suggest a very new one. I might be evaluating the solutions based mostly in how a lot talent of the participant would wish (it may’t want some pixel-perfet precision), what sort of conduct would encourage and the way exhausting it could be to know to the participant (he/she have to get it by merely enjoying the sport or learn a single sentence).
One last item; I revealed my sport in itch.io however didn’t put the hyperlink right here as a result of I believe that it might be considered as commercial. However inform me if you would like me so as to add it and that’s okay to the web page. Thanks prematurely.
