Savage Halloween

Better than biolab wars for sure but the creator still doesn't know proper level design. Levels are way too long and yet again enemies are just scattered around without thinking. About %70 of the enemies are at a place that they can't hit you while you can. Like throwing enemies. They don't even throw their projectile to you,always throw at the same angle and yet creator doesn't mind placing them in front of you and make you just stand still and shoot them because they can't do anything to you. Not to mention the ones projectile get destroyed by hitting ceiling which make it even more clear that creator just put them randomly. I lost counting how many vertical going down sections there are while you shoot stationary bats that can't hurt you. They just exist to waste your time. Just like the moving platforms. All you do is wait for them to come,land on them then wait for them to reach their destination. I especially hate that one platform you put at a place that you are supposed to go down instead of a ladder and that just waste player's time. The auto-scroll sections are too long and bland. You keep waiting until an enemy to spawn which you can kill immediately and then you go back to waiting again. What even is the point of giving ammo to weapons here when you give the player tons of ammo? I didn't run out of ammo at all. Also weapons are not great either. Your main weapon is the strongest weapon ironically. The spread bat shot is useful at close range but the cooldown make it less fun to use. Ghost weapon can go through tiles. But the frog weapon has a big cooldown that make it painful to use. I used it against some enemies that dies to it in one shot. Chicken is the worst weapon. It takes ages for it to explode and the damage it causes isnt that great for that cooldown time. Boss fights are in similiar situation with biolab wars. Still better than biolab wars because they are slightly more interesting. They just repeat exact same pattern. Stage 7 boss for example it dashes you,throws two bags then falls into the very edge of the screen and repeat. Nothing exciting or interesting,do the exact same thing over and over again and boom boss is done. The game has a "hardcore" mode,at least that's what it claims. So what is the difference in hardcore mode? You die in 1 hit. That's it. Everything else is exactly same. Just make the player die in 1 hit because that will kill player more therefore it is hard right? No. A proper hard mode changes level design or enemy-boss patterns. Like what megaman 10 does. This is just lazy design. You don't give players harder challenge by just making it a 1hp game. Levels are the things that give the challenge and that should be made harder(without making them unfair of course). Also since you always die in one hit there is literally no point of not picking dominika for this mode since she has speed advantage and all other characters lose their hp advantage. I see lots of games that claim to be inspired from retro games like contra,megaman,battletoads etc. But games like this one just think that having 8-bit style graphics are enough. People don't play retro games just because their artistic style, they play them because of the fun challenges they provide. Not all of them great of course but those games created with thoughtful design which this creator doesn't understand for sure. Try games like: -Tanuki Justice -Cursed Castilla -Volgar The Viking Those games provide well thought challenges like the retro games we all like,maybe even better not gonna lie. So if you are tired of modern games that just make games long for the sake of making them long with unthoughtful repetetive level design those games are the way to go.
