[Complete] Battlemachy: Jade Bandit

Battlemachy: Jade Bandit is the first episode of the Battlemachy Saga, an RPG-lite shooter from Urbansquall.

There are only 5 levels, so difficulty ramps rather quickly. Level 4 is hard, so is level 5. The key to both is to keep moving while firing at your targets. Usually that means picking a target on the opposite end of the screen. For level 4 in particular, you need to capture the turrets to have any hope of victory.

Hope you like it! I'd love to hear your comments and suggestions.

Had a quick look:
Very very very nice graphics + pretty original gameplay I think?
Great!, coming back to this one with some more constructive feedback.

so back to the real game:
outstanding graphics realy nice job there, who ever did those sprite arts spent alot of time on them. It makes the game really a rich expierence - I even played till the 4th level (got beaten there) and that´s usally rare for me with flash shooter games as I usually really get bored fast.

Game mechanics:
I sometimes had the feeling that the character freezes as I shoot- I am not anymore able to control it as soon as I shoot rapidly. What I found nice (and I guess many feature games will do as well) is the automatic pause mode when you either leave the flash area or hit the right mouse button.

I only intended to play it for a couple mins and spent 1/2 hour on it...

The graphics and sound are great, and I loved the originality. The only thing I would change is I would like to be able to move w/ asdw. This would make it a lot easier, and that may be something you deliberately didn't include.

All in all, it was a great game. Didn't reallly feel like a flash game, which is a good thing ;-)

Why did they Jpeg it, WHY ?

2. When I hit them, the ennemies sometimes start blinking red over and over. Does it mean they're almost dead or is it a bug ?

3. During mission 3, the game sometimes pause for no reason

4.I can't success Mission 4 >.<


Awesome game, congrats ^^

Thanks for the comments.

To answer some questions, the original design had the player movement separate on the keyboard. I liked it, but once I tried the mouse-only variation (which makes it both easier to start playing, but also much harder to completely master), I moved to that as the only option and have not doubted the move since.

Why did they Jpeg it, WHY ?

... I'm sorry. I don't know what this means.

2. When I hit them, the ennemies sometimes start blinking red over and over. Does it mean they're almost dead or is it a bug ?

Yes.. That means they're almost dead.

I meant that you had an awesome pixel-perfect title screen and that in the game it suffers JPG compression.

awesome graphics and nice game play, id like it a little better if i didn't see the movement rings, or i could toggle them on/off, they kinda ruin the nice background.

Top stuff

Everyone has already said it, very nice graphics. I like the paths for the player and the enemies. Great fun at level 4, especially the initial comments before the level start. Great work

Very nice game. But your website bugs me as well.

I like the graphics and the story line. Good work.

Yeah that's a good game though I'm glad it's short because now I don't have to scream at the screen in frustration every time that sodding "Resume Game" screen pops up :-).
