Dodger

Description

Dodger is a 2D bullet hell where the player must collect as many coins as they can before they lose all their health!

What's new in version 0.2?

In this update there have been a few new features along with UI improvement.

• Healthbar
• Difficulty scaling

More detailed description

This is just a more detailed description of the new elements for those who are interested

Healthbar

This is a dynamic healthbar to make it easier to see how much health you have. Previously, it was not so easy to tell how much health you had. This will improve that, and will move smoothly left and right to show when the player is gaining and losing health. Although in the current version there is no way to gain health.

Difficulty Scaling

This is another thing that was found to need improvement. In the game's previous state, it could grow pretty boring. One idea to make it more interesting was to scale the difficulty over time. This way, the game feels like it has more progression to it. There are many more plans for this element specifically, beyond simple difficulty scaling. (Check Level System below for more on this)

The future of Dodger

Dodger is currently in development, so there is a lot more planned to improve the game! Here are a few things planned for the future:

• Level system
• Powerups
• Health packs

More detailed description (x2)

For those of you who are extra extra interested.

Level System

This is a revamp of the already existing difficulty scaling system. The goal is to improve that into the level system. This will make the game seem to have waves rather than one linear difficulty progression. There is a lot planned for this — too much to fit into this description but stay tuned!

Powerups

Yup, that's exactly what it sounds like. Currently the idea is for powerups to rarely fly around just like the other projectiles. However, it's quite challenging to figure out if a certain powerup would be an advantage or disadvantage to the player. So feel free to give your ideas if you have any.

Health Packs

The plan for this is similar to the one for the powerups. It will be a projectile that rarely spawns and all this one does is heal the player. Hopefully this can make the game less brutal with its soon to be added scaling difficulty.

That's it!

That is everything currently planned on be added into the game. If you have any ideas on something else to add or an improvement/solution to something currently planned, please share. All feedback will be read and considered. Thank you!
