FeedBack About Weapons Effectiveness
All the weapons that I found, I found cool, but one thing bothered me in almost all of them, only pistol, magnun, phase, blaster, rifle and shotgun have an efficient range, all the other weapons have a very short range making them little effective, and very bad against bosses, can you add a range to all of them as the rifle and pistol range for example, so that all of them have great efficiency ?

Generally the weapons have all been very well balanced in terms of range, power, fire rate etc. I'm not saying that improvements can't be made, but I think they all work pretty well as they are.

Weapons with a very short range will be compensated for in some other way, such as doing very high damage, having a high rate of fire, wide range of effectiveness, auto-aim, or being able to do damage to multiple enemies at once. The short-range weapons can be extremely effective against bosses (depending on which attack mode they're in) due to the high damage they deal out, it's all about picking your moment,

There are several other long-range weapons other than the ones you mention. Pulse repeater, plasma rifle, shredder, RPG, gatling gun etc all have a very long range. All weapon ranges scale when upgraded.

It's interesting that you say the range of the shotgun is OK when that weapon has one of the shortest ranges in the game!

Ok, I understand your point, I found the pulse cannon, with a good range, besides the pulse cannon and the rifle, what are the names of other long range weapons, could you tell me ?

the shotgun is shotgun this good the functioning of it.

When I finish for the second time I do a brief review useful for those who will buy the game, but I can do in 2 languages English and Portuguese ?

The difficulty balance is very good too, you made a very cool arcade game, I've seen people comparing it to Defender, but it is not comparable, yours is much cooler than Defender 1980.

If the review is done in two languages, does it appear in both languages or only in one? If it appears in both languages, can both English and Portuguese speakers find it, or does steam give priority to only one language?

Hi There,

Thanks for writing a review! I'm not sure how Steam deals with multiple languages for reviews, it's probably best to put the English first and mark it as English if it gives you the option as more people will see it that way. Portuguese speakers will still be able to find it but they may have to set filters to 'all languages'.

The longest-range 'special' weapons are...

Pulse Repeater
Plasma Rifle
Laser Rifle
Sniper Rifle (this has the longest range in the game)
Shredder
RPG
Gatling Gun

...thanks again for your feedback and kind comments. Really glad you like the game!
