So, I took these weapons for a test drive and here's my complaints. Note that I tested these quickly in a map without bots or anything to fight.I don't really feel like making such a change, since I've put in so much work as it is already.. Sorry.
Black Hole Bomb: Well, the lack of sucking people in is obvious, but as is the difficulty of figuring out how to do it, so other than that, my only recommendation is to perhaps make it like Gyro Attack: Hit the button once to fire and once again to detonate. The reasoning behind this is to make it ever so slightly easier to use. It moves so slowly that you can outrun it, so holding the button while running ahead, then turning around is a bit tough. It's not a necessary change, but I think it would be better.
Thunder Wool: It's bad. However, not entirely your fault: Turning a bad weapon in MM10 into a not-so-bad weapon in 8BDM is a tough task. However, it seems to me once the cloud hits the ceiling, it accelerates, which makes it even tougher to aim than if it just stopped once it hit the ceiling. The other huge problem is obvious so I'm not going to bother pointing it out again.I'm working on this constantly. It's a nightmare. : I know what needs done, though.
Astro Crush: Fine except for the fact that the meteors are not truly 8-bit: There are far too many colors in the sprite.It has two or three colors, I believe. Not much can be changed about that.
Concrete Shot: Broken badly. Being remotely near the wall results in the block instantly trapping yourself. The blocks also last way too long, so once this happens you are screwed. Also, you need to have it where the blocks do not form against the wall. This allows players to go absolutely anywhere in the level they want to with well timed jumps. Make the blocks themselves effected by gravity if possible. If not, make the projectiles slide down the wall then form blocks against the floor (not sure if this can be done either).Making it not-trap yourself isn't exactly possible without some form of flags being set for NOINTERACTION, but then you couldn't jump on it until the flag was set off. So, I can't fix that.
Rebound Striker: Like the Energizer Bunny, it just keeps going and going and going.
One person should not be capable of filling a room with this many projectiles. Also, I switched to Concrete Shot, played with it for a good 15 seconds, turned around, and still saw a few bouncing around. There needs to be like a time limit on how long each shot should be in the map.
I'd totally make a few maps if someone could make an argument guide for invasion spawners. :3
Mm...can I try out for a Medium-Small map? I kinda have the layout planned and theme of the level.
And with that, I think it's time to move on to actual critique. Seriously, this community has become a lot more hostile as of late.
Black Hole Bomb: Powerful, but needs the ability to be remotely detonated like Drill Bomb. Hitting with it as it is now is difficult. Otherwise, very decent weapon.
Thunder Wool: I talked to you on skype about this one. Basically, this thing would become much more useful if it instead went up to the ceiling, then kept moving while launching thunderbolts beneath it, stopping after a medium distance. Like Black Hole Bomb, hitting with it in its current state is hard, and just a slight change from how it worked in MM10 would make it much more useful.
Really, it was pretty much useless in MM10 anyway.
Astro Crush: Works brilliantly. Although I always thought it was more of a slow, powerful weapon. Seriously, it's a meteor shower. Getting hit point blank with it does barely any damage at all, atleast not from personal testing. I'd say increase the power, along with ammo consumption.
Concrete Shot: Brilliant. Why on earth is this grouped with Area of Effect weapons, though?
well i cave and me and ash are working on weapons together hopefully
