Re: Blitz Angel Spica (Mahou Shoujo Beatemup/Fighting)
I finally got around to playing this. It's a good game. I also learned developer also made princess edge (PE) so I played that.
Just a little review from me:
I feel the combat in PE is better. If that was R18 then it would really have been sweet. Spica felt like its lacking something PE has. Maybe the combos and how fun it is to mix combos and air combos. PE felt more action pact. This game would be tons better if the combat was improved, animation, addition to the combat system such as counters, adjust I frames, more throws and specials and such.
I also felt myself having constantly to tap the keys way to much to escape the H grabs which gets a bit frustrating. I wish they remove the escape system completely. Instead, make short animations if caught to avoid taking away from the combat (basically enemy throws are the H scenes, short and sweet).
kodos on the difficulty for both. Tired of playing easy games, it gets boring. I would add an normal and hard mode though for those who don't like hard games.
I think @erobotan is part of the development? You got yourself a patron xD
good luck.
Maybe add an air recovery that takes mp.
I have to draw lots of sex animation so in turn the gameplay get neglected, It's inevitable sadly. Aerial attack seems easy since i only need to edit the legs from the normal combo's sprites (plus Saga555 also ask about aerial combo after playing Princess' Edge lol) and I can use the backflip animation for air recovery (it's a very good idea too!) so I'll consider about adding them!
removing the tapping mechanism is impossible i think, too much work to do & Cybeast will be very sad ^^;
As for more specials, throws, etc. It's a bit hard to do at the moment, the sales doesn't even reach 1k after 2 months, the patreon is better than before but it's still low.
for now, if you want an easier time to get up/escape from grapple, raise your strength or agility or both, they help a lot.
for counters, consider taking Defense stance skill, block the attack at the last moment and you will counter the attack automatically.
What is I frames? invincibility frames? what's wrong with it?
the game already has easy, normal & hard mode already. You can choose them in the option menu.
