Idea: Loading Room Tips
« on: January 27, 2016, 06:16:27 pm »
I've seen a lot of issues about information not being readily available to the player. Part of it that information isn't presented, part of it is that the information is lost in a slew of other information. It seems that some loading screen tips would be useful. So when you start a new game, in the bottom middle of the screen you get a tip with a little graphic displaying it.

Tip List
  • Enemy ships getting to close? You can sprint away by using button Y.
  • Chests contain loot such as missiles, keycards, and potatoes.
  • Locked Chests need a keycard to open but contain much better loot than regular Chests. You can find Primary Weapons, Secondary Weapons, and brownies.
  • Caltrops are the bane of soft soled robots everywhere, don't forget you are invulnerable after taking damage, so just sprint over those guys.
  • Missiles can block and destroy enemy shots.
  • Energy Weapons recharge every room, go crazy.
  • Your shields recharge every room, live a little.
  • Maximum useable shields are limited to 2, but you can use the extras to buy upgrades and still have 2 afterwards
  • Blaze Turrets suck, email Misery about why you hate him and his little dog.
  • The Invader is the best boss ever!
  • There is no shame in playing on a lesser difficulty. Normal is actually pretty Hard.
  • Don't tell anyone, but some of the devs play on Very Easy and still can't win.
  • Some people like keyboard and Mouse control, others like a gamepad. See which one fits you best!
  • Sometimes bullets aren't the answer. Try missiles!
  • Sometimes bullets aren't the answer. Try using more bullets
  • Ever feel like a piece of cheese?
  • You can practice fighting bosses and minibosses using the Mod Mode.
  • Rodney needs to get off his robot $$$ and do something useful for a change.
  • Every wonder what happens to all of those dead robots you have left behind?
  • Enemy Spawners are immune to bullets, but can be destroyed by missiles.
  • Unbreakables are immune to bullets, but can be destroyed by missiles.
  • Special unbreakables contain a surprise, go get them!
  • Collect 8 health shards and gain an extra hit point!
  • Eat 6 servings of vegetables per day!
  • Don't forget to eat enough fiber, a clean colon is a healthy colon.
  • How does the Hydraal know when to send a new mech in?
  • What happens if the Hydraal regrows the head off that was put into the mech AND that mech comes back safely. That's going to be awkward.
  • Why hasn't the Hydraal cloned himself yet?
  • Want a relaxing puzzle game? Try Tidalis. At least try it on the relaxing game modes, it gets tough later on.
  • Don't shoot Space Janitors, Cooks, or SysOps. You never know if they have decades of elite combat training.

And so on.

The funny thing is, I actually do have a little dog.
