[Discussion] Horde Invasion! Shoot 'Em Up 2D game for 1,2,3 players!

[stan0033]

Hello everyone, I am here to post a 2D shoot Em Up game I developed with GameMaker 8.1 based on warcraft III. Basically you shoot down orcs endlessly to score points or until 20 slip away.
Quite frankly I was bored and needed to make myself busy with some coding, but wasn't itnerested in another Warcraft III Map .

You can download it from here: CLICK

Please give a feedback. Do you like it, do you not? What would you like to see more? Etc...


There is a screenshot of the game:

Curious, does Game Maker supports MDX format or do you translate them to another format first?

I recorded the 3d Animations and converted them into 2D animated sprites. It's interesting that it fooled you

so the official classification of the game is "2.5D"

2.5D is still 3D models in a 3D space, only confined to a 2D plane.

This one is straight up 2D like Starcraft is.

Yes, this is the first type of two.
The other is "2D game that imitatates 3D" like Starcraft, where they recorded all 3d animations and made them 2D.

Pretty cool. I don't like CTRL being the shoot key as it's bound to something else on my keyboard and it's making my monitor do weird things. It's a good start but very slow paced. I would consider what other games are like this and they tend to have enemies moving left and right because it adds a timing element. (Atari had more than one like this)
