Dodge 2 - Call for enemies!

Posted by moogoat - January 22nd, 2009


Hey everyone!

Well, Dodge has had unprecedented success here on Newgrounds and I've read all your comments and criticisms. I'm happy to say that I'm currently working hard on a [feature-packed] sequel.

Now here's the thing: I need some inspiration! A lot of you are saying there's too few enemy types, so I want to hear what you have to say! Suggest some enemies, the more outrageous, the better!

Explosively she went to school only to find a tentacle rape monster who dropped her to an early graveyard shift at the local waffle house where she ordered pancakes with lots of tomato sauce because that's just the way she rolls home knick-knack paddy whack give a dog a boner and see him go to work on the neighbor's poodle while the schnauzer next door grooves on it and Van Halen plays soft rock in the background, which normally would be against them but they are making an exception due to the hawt canine love going on as the postman walks by, happy because the dogs are distracted from chewing on his legs like his coworkers do when he brings his special meth sandwiches and smears them on his legs to keep the armies of pluto away from his massive stash which grows bigger by the day due to animal growth hormones being shat into it by the growth animal herself which is accomplished by feeding her a lot of fiber loaded cereal like miniature wheats which are not to be confused with miniature dogs like the loveable mexican chihuahua or miniature doberman like the one who silently pursued that girl as she explosively went to school only to find a tentacle rape monster who dropped

On Dodge it will not load i have got a GREAT Connection and a VERY FAST comuter and it gets to err w/e the loading number is lol and crashes BLAM THAT CRAP

Great Game!
I have no idea what to suggest for enemies though...
How about something that after awhile duplicates itself...

i think there should be bosses that have a lot of health and super attacks, you should also have faster enemies and enemies that try to crash into you and do large amounts of damage. there should also be upgrades for your ship and you sold be able to buy an upgrade that fires at your enemies and a shield that blocks hits. this is a work in progress, and, like bloons tower defense the first one wasnt so great, but the third is a masterpiece, holy to behold, i hope this is as successful :)

Bullet Hell inspired bosses, with many non-homing shots and only a few homing.

Enemies that spawn more enemies. (This wasn't in the first one, was it?)

Enemies that can stick to your side and slowly suck out your life. Getting hit on a certain side with just one or two bullets to get these off would be tricky.

Enemies that form a spinning triangle/square/pentagon/etc. around you (Depending on how many are onscreen).

Enemies that fire constant streams of homing bullets.

Plus, add armor to some enemies on later levels.

Are you planning on having powerups? Maybe health pickups instead of using your score to heal? Extra power? Invincibility? Some other generic powerup everyone uses? I could go on and on with those if you want me to.

Not too late, I hope...

I have no idea how far you are in the game, but if you still need some inspiration, I've got tons of ideas:

1.) It needs bosses. Both mini-bosses and hard bosses. Hard bosses should have their own level.
2.) More levels. 30-50 is a fun game, but you only have 20 in the first game, which is more of a test to me.
3.) Different kinds of lasers. Every enemy has the same kind of laser. The snipers are a little different, but all the enemies fire lasers that follow you until you explode. Each laser for each enemy should have its own attack pattern.

OK, let me dive deeper into those main things:

Mini-bosses I think should be in levels with normal enemies. They should be able to defend themselves some of the time when lasers come at them. They should also have more powerful lasers than normal enemies.

Hard bosses should take a while to beat. They should be big, I think, because most bosses in games are enormous. They should have special attacks, maybe like throw bombs at you, throw multiple types of lasers at you at the same time, throw extra powerful lasers, stuff like that.

It needs more enemies (but keep the ones you have now because I like them) , like maybe:

1.) One that throws bombs at you. The bombs wait for a while, then explode and you have to stay away from them.
2.) One that randomly enters defense mode, so you can't kill it until it leaves that mode.
3.) One that follows you around (but not too close behind!)
4.) One that shoots randomly instead of at you (it should have really powerful lasers)
5.) One that rapid-fires weak lasers
6.) One that goes around and docks with other enemies of its type, merging to create an even more powerful enemy (you'd have to destroy this one quickly!)
7.) One that can dispatch mini enemies that will fire at you too
8.) Enemies that can only be destroyed by certain types of lasers

Now onto the lasers:

1.) Keep the normal ones.
2.) Maybe make one that bounces around the screen (like a screensaver) until it hits something.
3.) You could do a powerful one that explodes NEAR you instead of when it hits you.
4.) Maybe make a laser that is really BIG, then after a while breaks into smaller lasers, and does this until each laser is small enough and then comes after you.

It needs powerups:

1.) You should have enemies you can shoot and when you destroy them, there's a powerup inside you can take.
2.) I think a small ship containing a random powerup should fly across the screen every now and then.
3.) One powerup could defend you from damage for a while.
4.) One could fully repair your health
5.) One could release a powerful blast that destroys nearby enemies (that would be awesome!)
6.) One could cause every thing to move into slow motion (useful for getting away)
7.) Between each level there could be an upgrade shop where you could upgrade you ship with the points you have.

And last here's some things I would like as a player:

1.) Needs a Normal and Hard difficulty.
2.) If the field could scroll, that would be nice (to make room for all those enemies!)
3.) If the game takes too long to play, it needs a save feature.

Well, that's about all I can think of! Sorry if you have to spend HOURS reading my detailed novel, but I had a lot to offer.

You can use this list however you want in your game. I can't wait until you release it!
