Blasting Agent: Flash Game

my boyfriend made this. I gave a little input but admittedly I didn't help much.

I think it's pretty decent, tell me what you think of it.

Dude! Shit kicks ass!

Pretty good so far. I like the upgrades and the bit of exploration to get 100%. The upgrades make the level enemies a little too easy, though, since you can kill most/all of them before they come into range to attack you. Starting level 2 now.

Finished the game, it's good. Noticed a typo: before you beat the third level on easy, the reward listing on the index says "level 2" for the level 3 easy spot.

Beat the first level, good so far. For some reason the music and SFX completely cut out though.

Also game froze when I got too close to one of the walls while fighting the second boss.

Ok, am I the only one getting completely bitch slapped by the second boss? I usually get him down to about 1/3 life, only for those bird dudes to bounce me into his main body and basically instan-kill me.

Oh yeah, every so often (like once in every 5 attempts) the boss will just curl up in a ball at the bottom of the arena for about 5 seconds or so instead of starting his bird-shooting pattern across the screen. Is that supposed to happen? Despite allowing me to get lots of cheap shots in I still couldn't beat him, lol.

Yeah, others have said the 2nd boss is too hard, and also about the sounds cutting out. I have told him, hopefully he can find what it is and fix it. Someone said it might be a version of flash problem if people have the wrong version, but idk. What version of flash do you have?

I think it's supposed to do the curling into a ball thing. I never beat it myself, lol

I'm not sure he's too hard (I'm not that confident in my ability with twitch games) but he's definitely disproportionately difficult compared to the rest of the game up to that point. I think I only died once before I got to him.

I have version 10.0.32.18 of flash. I'll see if upgrading makes a difference, although I won't be able to test it over the next few days since I'm working all day Christmas Eve and Boxing Day.

I actually beat it on the first attempt on easy mode (I don't know if that means the bosses are easier or not), but when playing in hard mode it took me about 5 or 6 attempts. Usually died because I stayed too close to it, causing it to loop above me in too tight of a radius. Once he goes under ground, run away from him so that his loop is bigger, so that you can stand underneath and release on him. By the time he starts dashing back and forth across the screen, you want to be near the edge of the screen so that he doesn't go straight at you, leaving you no real room to escape getting hit. After that, killing the birds is fucking easy, I don't know what your problem is, and they give you tons of hearts. He goes into the circle and shoots guns, but I just wait for that to finish and let him come down to me (I don't bother climbing the green rays, too dangerous). Just unload a little more, eat leftover bird hearts as you get hit, and that's it. It's hard, but it's such a short game that you can't expect any less severe of a learning curve. I think it's fine.

I dunno, the second boss was pretty easy for me. Even without most upgrades on easy mode, I was able to defeat it halfway through its first ascent. After a few trial and error deaths, of course. On hard mode I had 1blue 2red/green upgrades and beat it just as it was starting to ascend.

Speaking of which, anyone found the blue upgrade in the second level yet? It's the only thing I'm missing!

haha the award for 100% completion for level 3 on hard mode is awesome

Ok, I worked out what my problem was; I missed the third upgrade on level two. I beat the second boss first try with that.

Still getting the sound issues though, despite upgrading flash.

He can't figure out what it is. Anyone else getting the sound cut out? ):

here's a picture I drew for it. He put the logo and stuff on it for a picture for the soundtrack.

Damn it, that's not what the protagonist looks like! The protagonist is clearly Duke Nukem.

I didn't get a sound cut-out. Drav probably just has a shitty sound card or processor.
