Oct 5 21:35:05 The Looping Legend ♥ 0 Well, hello calart, since I had the opportunity to try you game before i`ll give my feedback based only on what grabbed the most attention to myself. Also, i'm impressed for how you've pulled off, player feedback, nice art, music. Definetly a high polished compo. But now i'll adress more critically the things i've said they were a problem and why, from my area side of view. When you start the game it is funny and entertaining but a couple seconds passes and the terms "lack of control" and "bullet hell" are opposites. From what you've wrote, "Hard" is not the case, the game is almost unplayable what's written pass the impression that the blame is on the player, like others that already commented feel. Most of this, in my opinion, is due to: Lack of control - Dodging is less effective than praying. No matter how good you are, there will be times that simply the plane is in a position that you won't be able to do something that you wanted to. What I belive is te capacitator of that is that the plane's spinning speed is faster than the player's moving speed, not alowing to stop motion by countering the direction. Lack of fired bullets - You're cutting the fun of the player, you've set another mechanic as a timer, which honestly i l but that doesn't come as a challenge since the fire is so low that theres is no reward in firing at the right time, also it's possible to just hold down space and this mechanic becomes just a bother that you have to wait again and again. Lack of strategy - Mostly a consequence of lack of control, there's not a good approach for the player, there is not a plan that you can make on the go. Not that there isn't but the options are few, one that i used was based on the enemy bullet lifetime and another strategy is kill till you die, which shouldn't be the good case if u need to survive. To play from it's current conditions, I believe a lot of people won't be able to see you cutesy guided missiles. Extra notes, there's also lack of freedom, there's too much unused space while the plane's own movement is quite big for such a small area, i can see it's limit if there were more enemy behaviours but for this stage it feels trapped. The rain thingy was just a visual polution in my opinion. And for last, there's an exploit, if you stay on the utmost left, the enemy bullets won't be able to hit you since they don't have enough lifetime. I've passed most of the time there nad and after a time i just stoped moving and was waiting to be killed. Got 3800+ with exploit and playing "seriously", most pressing left and right to mantain bullet lifetime distance from enemy, 645. Loved to see how you progressed throught the jam.
Oct 6 21:12:58 23h 37m (Nu) Da Drum ♥ 2 Let me share what i understood from something a didn't understand hahahahha. So, fat always be the goal keeper, got attracted to a girl, felt like a teacher to be honest XD. Made a friend. started to have feelings for friend. Suddenly on a love confusion triangle or diferent genders thing. Confused with own feelings. Wanted to be a girl. Solitaired yourself in mmo, time passed, felt more ok with itself, started drawing, conformed with yourself, but strange feelings mantain and it's ok. Moral of the story, never throw a teddy bear on a trash bin.
Oct 9 15:27:01 66h 14m Soundcloud The Concert: The Game ♥ 1 Only crucial problem for me is that you can't get everything on the first go, i believe it's due to the ammount of UI and no player feedback when u get hit or missed an spark fix. When u understand what u have to do, the game becomes to easy. A jump high based on ammount of time holding down up would be nice also since sometimes i wanted to do a small jump to hit the mecha and it completely passed over, i think now the mecha has some really hard postiions to hit due to it.
Oct 9 15:50:55 23m 54s WONK - Aretha Wonk uses the internet. ♥ 2 A bit overwhelming since i don't have enough time to do anything but I could be playing your game for days. Would like to see my wroten articles somewhere atleast.
Oct 9 16:55:49 1h 04m Hyperloop ♥ 1 69 on hard mode first try. Never gonna play again, that will forever be my highscore.
