Hot Steel

[JasperCherry]

Hello everyone, 

It's my first game done with Javascript, I've been working on it almost 3 months in my spare time. 

Game saves the progress with cookies. Looking forward to hear your opinions and feedback.

Here is projects GitHub - https://github.com/JasperCherry/HotSteel

Here is the game on my uni server - http://doc.gold.ac.uk/~kwisn001/games/HotSteel/

Pretty cool game! 

Pros:

• The tank controls makes it feel like your controlling a tank.
• Fun tank combat
• Good tank sounds
• Good amount of upgrades
• Awesome that I can use destroyed tank hulls as cover

Cons:

• Too difficult at the start of the game. Maybe add half-tracks with just machine guns to shoot at first? New players just die really fast the first couple of times and that's usually when they just outright quit.
• Enemies suddenly spawn behind you without giving you time to prepare a good position when a new wave starts. Maybe add spawn markers at the edges so you can prepare a bit.
• Tank controls could be a little challenging for some people and difficult to control
• Environment is a bit boring - maybe add houses and such?
• Missing sounds at upgrade screen

All-in-all I like where this game is going. It feels like a very solid idea. Nice work!

Thanks for whole feedback you gave, really good points! Game might be developed in the future, probably next summer, I might move it on node.js and make 2 persons coop game, so you can play with any friend online. But cant promise anything for a moment.
