Need advice on game

here's a game i made when i was bored out of my mind.... it is not too good, as it took my a short while to make this.... I need some advice on how to build on this game. Just some ideas that I could use would be helpful. Thanks (PS: you use directional keys (the arrow keys) to control you. objective is to collect all points to win, making sure that the enemy doesn't catch you. u can crash 2 enemies by making them touch each other. also, the enemies move faster the closer to you they are. good luck!!!)

pretty good game, I liked it, something different i haven't seen in a while. First, this post should go in the turing submissions folder not under turing help. But otherwise, to improve on it you could add multiple levels to your game. Also, it was pretty easy, so as you collect dots, you could also make your enemies grow in size and be more attracted to you making them move faster..etc.

personally, i like the simplicity of it right now as it is. So, i wouldn't recommend adding shooting...that would make the game way to easy, unless you're talking about making your enemies shoot. Or make the enemies split off into multiple smaller versions of themselves at random times... Also, one thing you could do is instead of making the enemies randomly appear anywhere on the screen, put a 'safe zone' in the middle where they cannot appear because i've had them appear right beside me when i started the game a couple of times and then i don't stand a chance.

ur right......i have to fix that bug...thanks Also, when they regenerate, I'll try making them regenerate into random sizes and numbers.......(since right now, they just regenerate exactly the same)....... and i'll try making the levels like u had suggested...(i'll make the levels harder by adding lazers or something like that....) finally, i might add little 'black holes' that randomly show up (and go out eventually)and suck everything inwards (so u'll have to push against it and make sure that the enemies don't catch u) thanks for ur help pavol

The black holes are a pretty good idea. No problem, make sure you repost the game when its updated. I want to see how this turns out
