Love the look of this. Innovative setup for a scrolling shooter however I'm uncertain how this embodies the theme of 'connected worlds'.

Love the look of this. Innovative setup for a scrolling shooter however I'm uncertain how this embodies the theme of 'connected worlds'.
Hi thank :) I did not came up with nothing better. The theme in this could be that, the edges of the world are connected unlike in ordinary scrolling shooter.
Wow, 5/5 for gfx.
That's a pretty cool concept. More input to process with shots coming from the sides too. I liked the art style too.
Nice Graphics :D It feels like this spaceshooter on ps3 (don't remmeber name but you ware flying on surface of planets and destroying asteroids aliens nad more)
This is awesome. Very cool take on a shooter. Definitely difficult, but it's a lot of fun!
Like Temmy I like the graphics and the "twist" :). But I'm also missing the theme.
Concept looks very promising. But it seems as sketch rather than game. Also can't find connection with theme.
I really like the look of the game and the idea of everything rotating around the world
Very nice idea and pretty good graphics, but I got in a point that it did not came more enemies, also the gameplay had some lack of feedback.
Would have loved to see some impact effects on my ship. With so much happening on the screen it's hard to notice when I get damaged :(
Cool game. I really like the visuals
Nice look!
Good idea, and a fun game, especially when played with the mouse, well done! Slightly weak theme connection though (perhaps it just needs to be explained better).
Nice artwork.
Neat game, plays well looks well. I think it lacks on the theme but would be a pretty cool game by itself.
The graphics are impressively solid, I like the style you ended up with. If you were to continue, I could imagine how you could theme different worlds fairly easily. The sounds got a little repetitive, but having them at all was nice.
Great entry sir! The most pretty i see so far with good challenge!
Fun game. I like the graphics, and the gameplay is very interesting. The scrolling from the sides was cool concept, didn't see a connection to the theme but maybe I didn't make it far enough.
Lovely visual style and fun concept.
Took me a while to realize that the LMB and RMB shoot different kinds of bullets, but things got easier once I did :)
Nice sound and graphics :)
The graphical style worked really nice , and the movement was really fluid. I flipped out when I realized right mouse shot sideways :P
Very nice graphics. Would like more feedback for when the player's ship gets hit so that you can keep track without having to look up in the corner.
Some how after I reached 1,900 points no enemies came
I love the graphics and controls, but it seems to me too slow. Can be improved. Well done ++
Hi all, thanks for the feedback. After playing the game I noticed, that with few tweeks the game could became much better.
Awesum graphics!
Gotta love a good old fashioned bullet hell shooter. Really love the look of this game and its cylindrical design. some invincibility frames would be nice, but otherwise really well done.
This looks really cool, great job with the graphics!
I really like the idea of shooting horizontally in a rotating world, and it also looks great!
Very polished entry, I love the art style. This game is haaaard !!
Very impresive graphics
+gameplay
+different
-no music
Very nice idea and great realisation!
It's bit difficult, but that's the challange... ;-)
A great piece of work!
I love how we move on the tower !
Challenging game, very great ! ;)
Really like the graphics and shader. :)
Good entry, has potential.
With a bit more love, this can turn into something great! Love the look of it.
Pretty fun little shooter. i really liked the 3D graphics, kind of reminds me of fez for some reason. really nice to look at and simple to play. A good entry :)
@TheLagPack Thanks a bunch:D FEZ ? Where is the similarity :D
@TheLagPack The rotation ?
Very nice game, good idea. The missiles are very agreable to lauch. The art style is great.
Looks and plays very nicely. I'm just missing some explosions :)
Great twist on a classic genre. Nice graphics.
Simple and it changed everything.
A real to bring shoot them up to 3D.
It lack of many feature of shooters, but the base is AWESOME!
The choice of colors, rendering, and model, is almost perfect. It still lack of a better game feel, because it's a little bit too "heavy" and "slow", but i truly think it's only a tweak.
I think that you could also consider to make other geometry for the track like a cubic one, and also a sphere.
If you bring some Antichamber spirit (because of the look), it could really be a revolutionnary shooter.
Interesting fusion of a schmup and like, Nebulus :D Fairly simple Schump with a reasonable variation of enemies. Like the visual style
Great presentation and a pretty solid mechanic.
Interesting shooter concept. Not too sure about the connected to the theme but still a cool game! Good work!! :)
Yeah the theme is not really present, but the game has a very nice art style and feel to it. Well done!
What a nice 3D twist on space shooter. I brutally like the idea of infinite lateral movement (also for enemies and bullets) since it opens a lot of possibilities. Also, superb aesthetics for a 48 compo entry. However, as others stated, i neither see connection with the theme.
The tower graphics are awesome, and I liked the look in general a lot. Pretty bullet dodging, though I felt like my spaceship didn't accelerate quite fast enough for the real bullet hell. Needs damage indicators and some connection to the theme! I beat it (at least, there were no more enemies) with 3500 points.
The central tower's motion is very nice. This game is quite pretty.
An interesting and challenging game. I like that you can shoot sideways also!
I like this setup for the classical Galactica space shooter type game.
It looked nice and played well. Thumbs up!
the turning is pretty slick looking, great job man!
This looks great, love the art style. There's also a variety of enemies which is nice. Some music would have been great. If you continue working on it maybe make the ship not stop immediately when I let go of the button. Great game, thank you!
Really really nice graphics, and the shots coming from the side really added another 'dimension'! (I'll see myself out)
very goof feeling
Great graphics and gameplay. Even when I have never liked this king of games, I enjoyed playing this one. Good job!
Very interesting twist to a classical genre. Good job!
Like the looks. You should finish the game.
Nice looking game and fun (and hard) mechanic. But really need explosion animations: we don't really know when we are shoot, and collide with other ship is a bit ridiculous...
Excellent graphics and shaders! The enemies were a little difficult, but I managed to make it to the "end" with 2800 points. Listening to the suggested music was fitting for this game.
If you're developing this game further, having powerups would be nice, especially for health and better lasers.
Wow, this game looks and play quite well! While I really enjoyed what's here, I'd be eager to play any revision or expansion of it, since it's going in a really pleasing direction. Also, I assumed connected worlds in this case was the world of your ship 'connecting' with the world of the invaders ;)
Looks very 60's pop art.
Love the visuals! Definitely want to see where goes in the future - it's a really unique take on a scrolling shooter
Cool! This has a lot of potential
Nice idea and look. I like 3d bullets.
Really nice graphics!
Also, the game is really pleasant to play.
Really nice the game design! And graphics!
The art style is cool, and the twist is interesting. Needs music badly!
Interesting take on the bullet hell shooter.
Really good work on this! The core mechanic is really interesting and I can sense it has a lot of potential for further exploration. I'm excited to see that you're still working on it, so I'm going to give some detailed suggestions/ideas I have.
* The aesthetics are impressive for 48 hours but obviously they could still use some work. I suggest you add explosions and some techno music at the least.
* I can totally imagine your game with some visually pleasing 3D backgrounds like the BIT.Trip games have: http://gameitall.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/btr21.jpg
* I think you could squeeze a lot more mechanical variation out of the central cylinder. For example: protruding walls/spires for the player to crash into. These could also form tunnels and all kinds of other obstacle patterns. I'm thinking along the lines of Super Hexagon. You could also put enemy spawners in spots on the cylinder, or geisers that periodically spray lava upwards.
* When the level is rotating, the protrusions of the cylinder render with line shading that sometimes looks ugly. You might want to try and polish that:

* Other traditional shmup features could also improve your game, like health pickups, gun powerups, flight powerups, more variation in enemy types, etc.
When I was playing, after I survived for a while the enemies just stopped coming. I assume you know about this a bug and it exists because the game is unfinished?
Rather innovative 3d shooter and a good selection of enemies. However it feels difficult to control and avoid incoming bullets. Keep up development, it will be good to see it finished!
I love it. the shader was awesome!
Wow! Way to put a "spin" on the genre :)
The visuals are pretty neat. The game itself plays ok but the controls imo aren't responsive enough. Good idea with the spinning ground.
Great, really great work. Graphics are cool. And I like this idea of perspective for a shmup.
Really nice job. Low marks for theme, but everything else was high. Awesome game.
Love the graphics and the concept, good job!
nice graphics and great rolling world idea.
Wow I love this idea: bullet hell on a cylinder! Also loved the halftone shader. Not much connection to the theme though. Great job!
