C# [WIP] ShadowMaze

[ZenithRaptor 44]

For the past couple of months, I've been working on a 2D game for my college project which I've made using C# and the XNA framework.

I'm in the last stage of black box testing and evaluation so I'm trying to find any bugs or problems with the game by having people test it.

I haven't added details of how the game works or what you're supposed to do as I'd like to find out how easy it is for you to understand what to do based on the in-game help guide.

Screenshots:

There is reasonably loud background rain audio so turn down your speakers just in case.
The game will create a folder in your my documents folder for game files.

I will likely make the source code and documentation freely available later on if anyone would like to have a look at it for learning purposes or ideas etc.

Virus scan by Virus Total.

Note: If you had a previous version installed and you get an error along the lines of "Application is already installed from somewhere else", either uninstall from add or remove programs first or put the newly downloaded folder in place of the folder which you installed from last time.

Known bugs:

-Enemies become stuck behind walls between enemies and players at times.
-The initial enemy on the right of the map disappears after killing the blue player if the player doesn't move (but remains standing at the position where the player died as players take damage if they walk into the area where the blue player died).
-Light beams are casted from the corner of the player instead of the centre.

It may seem silly that I'm including links to places where I learnt C# and XNA etc. However, I thought it may be useful to people that are currently learning how to code. XNA is quite outdated now but it was a good starting point for making a basic game.

Thanks in advance.
