Windows defender says the gamejolt download is a virus

yishalee 2017-12-05 12:15

@tinco .....I can download it even after logging out gamejolt.. Maybe gamejolt is on blacklist? don't know why.

tinco 2017-12-05 12:26

Windows defender is blacklisting your game, it's deleting it before I can try it.

Fun little game, interesting mechanic/use of the theme, enjoyable but frustrating for sure! Loved the art style and music was very fitting. One error "..enemy.state not set before reading" couldn't replicate it but it occurred when I died first time.

The controls were a little weird, but I liked the music and graphics.

lugdumdare-team 2017-12-05 12:34

Nice take on the theme. However it's really frustating to get slowed down. It might have been better if the maluses where of different kind.

Graphics are good and music is cool :)

kashif 2017-12-05 12:35

Same here :/

smogen 2017-12-05 12:35

I was able to download and play it. Fun idea, although the controls are a little bit clumsy, even at the start of the game. I Like the graphics and the world, with the paint flying around it, looks cool.

I definetly feld the controls get worse as the game progressed. Its really challenging! Nice job :)

I enjoyed the game, it was quite difficult but I did like how your ship didn't turn immediately! Good job! :beers:

sahilts 2017-12-05 12:57

The game is fun but only thing that I didn't like are the moving controls the spaceship sometime kind of get stuck on that ring ,the spaceship turns right when pressed left and left when pressed right hope its intentional . Nice game though!

It's an interesting game. The controls took some getting used to. It would be good if there was a minimum distance for the enemy ship to spawn. Quite often it spawns right next to me and gets an instant hit without giving me much time to react. I really like that the shooter / turrets can hit each other. It's fun to make them knock each other out.

yishalee 2017-12-05 13:15

@jan Thanks for your advice.The spawn of the enemy fighters should be btter. As for the turrets can shoot each other...Initially it's not intended but later I found I can keep it.

yishalee 2017-12-05 13:17

@sahilts Thank you and maybe I'll check the stuck thins you mentioned. As for the control, when you have more bullets from the shooter, the harder it will become to handle your ship.

bificommander 2017-12-05 13:33

AVG doesn't like this file either, so I can't give a rating.

Edit: So I was able to play it. Perhaps I don't understand it too well, but I found it wasn't very hard to kill the bubble shooters, nor very important if you didn't since they can't hurt you. If you get overloaded with bubbles, you can just shoot them away in a few seconds. And since those bubbles can't hit the ships that actually do kill you, there's not much point in not doing so immediately.

And yeah, those spawning ships very often spawn right next to you, dealing collision + bullet damage immediately.

yishalee 2017-12-09 07:57

@bificommander Thank you, and that's very positive feedback. Maybe I should review the difficulty and the mechanism so that every action has its meaning. The shooter was intendted to be objects that deserved being killed from the point of strategy but the system seems failed thingking of this.

repusv 2017-12-09 14:48

Good looking game ! I also liked the music. But this game also made Avast crash and I had to restart my computer.

matoux42 2017-12-09 15:06

Nice little game ! The only problem, in my opinion, is the gameplay which is very difficult to handle (but pretty interesting).

joror 2017-12-09 15:36

Cool little 2d shooter! Got stuck a few times between the wallshooters and the wall :P I like that give ample of health to start with. The controls might need a bit of tightening (very floaty now)

jasperarmstrong 2017-12-09 20:21

Cool little game! I had a lot of fun playing it. One weird thing was that it always saved the high score 10 less than it should have (e.g. I score 1250 and it saves the high score as 1240). Also it doesn't appear that the high score persists across multiple sessions of the game. Overall though, you did a solid job, you would just need to add some polish.

vasco-rodrigues 2017-12-09 23:22

Interesting approach to the theme. The visuals and sound are great too. It's just maybe a bit too difficult for me :p Still managed to destroy a few enemies before losing complete control of my ship! Great work :)

kakarotsan 2017-12-10 12:07

The controls are annoying, but the game mechanics are great. If it was easier to dodge the ships this game would be a lot of fun.

rockhoppergames 2017-12-10 14:16

I really enjoyed this one! The theme was really well implemented, the core loop was simple enough, and the graphics were gorgeous. Good work!

enot487 2017-12-10 16:48

That's a good cosmo-shooter! I don't know what is it on the background, but I like it =) Art, music and sound effects are good and well combined. Do I understand right? Bubbles are needed to reduce the speed of the player, and in order to maintain high speed it is necessary to shoot them. This mechanics brings some variety to the gameplay, but the constant pushing of X is too annoying. And I had some problems with movement control after picking up some bubbles - turns was inverted. Great game anyway!

zenkerdus 2017-12-10 22:18

Finally some classic arcade action. The only thing i can think of is: let me reset game by keyboard and not only mouse. Good work!

zax 2017-12-11 08:18

I like the art style keep it up! don't forget to check out mt game too :)

thorneto 2017-12-11 08:45

Good choice in song, it fit the mood really well. Interesting take on the asteroids style game.

akryllax 2017-12-11 16:46

Virus detected by the antivirus...

sebastian-m 2017-12-11 17:42

Really cool game. The art is amazing, really well done in the visual aspect. The bullets maybe were too slow, I feel like it would have been better with faster bullets, more action. But I enjoy the game a lot nonetheless.

Well done!!

compy14 2017-12-11 19:13

Great games with a fun controls

yishalee 2017-12-12 09:05

@ZAX Hi I played yours, end up with pretty high presure. Nice execution.

2017-12-12 22:02

Not bad, the graphics are nice and the music is decent, but I think it's a bit too unresponsive by default to make the penalty seem fun. Might have been better if turning was an acceleration thing rather than an immediate rotation, and if walls didn't feel so sticky.

swagdorf 2017-12-13 02:25

Nice game, I really enjoyed the music and the art! The controls were a bit too finicky and slowed down a bit much when hit with the bubbles. I actually got hit with so many bubbles the controls for left and right reversed which was interesting if intended. Otherwise I did have fun, but with some collider and control tweaks, this would be really cool! Congrats on the entry!

jozgames 2017-12-13 02:30

Os graficos, a musica e os efeitos sonoro combinam com o jogo apesar de simples, mas o gameplay é muito impreciso e o jogo fica repetitivo rapidamente.

pcmaster 2017-12-13 12:31

Good job! Also a bit hard :)

shivur 2017-12-14 19:53

Good. But accelerating too much makes it hard to control for a game that consists in avoiding bullets.

dlaha 2017-12-19 08:13

My Windows 10 also detected a virus in the archive. threat.png

veralos 2017-12-20 12:07

Decent game. The concept isn't super unique but it is quite interesting how the slowed turning starts o off barely noticeable yet builds up to be a big hindrance over time. The music is nice and the sound effects generally fit well. The graphics are also pretty solid. The main thing I disliked is how slippery the ship feels. I could understand these controls as a punishment for collecting too many shots, but for basic movement it a bit too hard to control.

fork0 2017-12-20 22:36

Nice and creative concept. I liked it. When you get a load of 9, your turning becomes so slow, it turns into negative numbers (as far as i understand it) and you turn in the opposite directions, which is kinda sad. And at the beginning, the controls feel a bit fast. Anyway, was a fun game!

zeu31 2017-12-23 21:07

I like the game mechanics. The controls are a little weird to use. More “juice” would be good. The art is nice. Well done!

m-1 2017-12-26 00:35

Although it seemed simple at first, it is not. The slow turning and inverted controls were quite difficult to get used to, but the game is nicely challenging and "multitasking-intensive". Good job!

I got score 1400.
