My first HTML5 game

[Joris]

Hi, my name is Joris i am 15 years old and i started coding html5 games about 2 weeks ago and i finally finished my first game.

I would love to get some feedback and tips on how i can improve it. you can play it at: jorisgame.bitballoon.com , Thanks for your time.

Nice job for your first one!

One feedback I would give is possibly updating the art if you are able to.

Died at 26.. I think if you can in some way speed up the game over time or after some score it would be more fun. The arrows and player are slow placed at the moment imho. Anyways great job!!

The game is fun. For a first game this is good. Well done.

 

If you want to improve the gameplay, you can change the amount of arrows to be more and more over time (start with a few like 3-5).

Add one more with every wave.

Also make the player smaller and have him grow with every wave.

If he gets hit, make him smaller again.

This way you have a small margin for error in the gameplay.

 

You could also change the speed of some arrows to make them look more random.

Give them a random speed (Math.random()*speedVariation + baseSpeed) when you spawn them.

 

Codewise I would recommend you check out Phaser, which would make your projects a lot easier and does not restrict much (you can still code everything you want by hand, but Phaser helps with premade functions).

You should also structure your code a bit more.

Add some comments to help understand what is happening in a function.

This might seem overkill in a small project but it will help a lot in bigger projects if you can make it a habit.

 

Keep coding and change up your projects (always doing the same kind of game might bore you eventually).

How did you make it?

Thank you so much, i know the art isn't the best but right now i am mainly focusing on the programming.

Thank you so much for your feedback i will definitely look into that.

Great first game. I have no critique to add other than what was already mentioned.

I found a logic mistake in your code. When you start the game you have 15 bullets:

var bulletamount = 15;

But if you restart you have 20 bullets:

function restart()
{
    // ...
    bulletamount = 20;
    addBullet(bulletamount);
    // ...
}

Thank you so much for looking over my code,

i completely missed that bug i should probably use more variables next time to prevent that, I fixed it now

I replaced your 2D sprites on my 3D models: click to play

This is the pure WebGL 1.0. I use TypeScript instead JavaScript because it is easier to develop and debug. The models I created in Blender.

Oh wow that looks awesome!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.

I added a link to it on the game page, hopefully i'll be able to make something like that one day.

@8Observer8 haha you legend
