Is shooting up...

Unnecessary?

So many people who have played the game have not even thought of shooting up. I'm just wondering if maybe we should pull it out? I'm currently coding in the system to take care of the animations for shoot and for the aim up function but I'm wondering if we even need it? Most people seem to want to jump and shoot ala Mega Man.

I'ma continue coding it in but I was just wondering if it's something that should be cut.

  1. I only see a problem cutting it if it works better to shoot up to stun the pterodactyl. If people jump to shoot him any way then that was the only place I ever used it. The rest of are enemies are level with Zalien anyway.

  2. Well, it's complete now so if we need to take it out we can but if we don't it's done.

  3. Im wondering if you remove something like(if we decide we do want to) that is it worth it to take out the code and animations tied to pointing up to shrink the game file slightly, or is it so tiny you would just have to remove the instructions from the game screens and the event listener from the code and it would not matter.

  5. Crap my edited post didn't show.

    Unless it causes an issue I don't know if it's necessary to get rid of or something that really needs to be addressed right now. Why not give them the option? Some of my testers did utilize the ability to shoot up, not all but some.

  6. Keep it, it works and I see no reason to remove a function that a player can use if he or she wants.
