Howdy! So I'm playing on a laptop with a touch pad so controls are bit of an issue, but I was pleased to see that you supported both QWERTY and AZERTY keyboards which made things easier to control. The game looks and sounds very nice; I see you opted out of sound and graphics, but even it they were pulled from other sources, the aesthetic is nice and cohesive.

I had an issue in game play on the first wave the first time I played, and again on the second wave. There was one enemy that I couldn't kill. I tried rotating between weapons with 1 through 4 and the elements with E, but nothing seemed to work. I'm not sure if I had to marry up the element with a specific weapon but if that was the case, I didn't seen anything specific on the enemies that would make it easier to determine what combinations are required.

We are really happy to hear your feedback, concerning the issue we think it was kind of a random "Bug", we actually played quit a while and never got this kind of behaviour, it could be because the hitbox is actually really punitive, we don't really know at the moment anyway we don't know if you heard it but when you attack someone using the wrong element another sound is played.

Thank you for your feedback anyway :relaxed:

I'll try again and see if I can cause it to happen again.

@anaconda-games I had the same bug mentioned by @dalbinblue . Since the second level, you can't hit the enemies with blue screen on their arms, while you can always hit the enemies with the red screen on their arm.

anaconda-games 2017-12-05 16:15

@taran-unraveler did you change your weapon element with the E key ?

Ayyy, at first I thought, what the hell, why my enemy's are not dying, but after reading a description I got the hang of it. Graphics are cool, gameplay is simple, yet very appealing. I think there should be a better indication for "E" button to change the element, since it is one of the most important parts of the game. Also, a pause would be nice, since pressing escape did not trigger it. Anyway, good job!

What a nice FPS game ! Models are cool and gameplay is pretty addictive because of differents elements. That's very hard to go through the level 10. With more time I'm sure this game can be really fun maybe witha multiplayer mode.

Very good graphics, I'd say! I liked the concept of element weapons, though it was a little hard to use. As for innovation, it was just an FPS for me, but it was a hard theme this go-around!

I really liked the mutators that were added. Having various controls inverted make it challenging! Matching the element to the enemy was a cool concept as well. I'm not too sure how this fits into the theme, but it was still fun to play. Only bug I ran into was I couldn't select QWERTY on my first play through, when I quit and opened it again I was able to change the controls.

nice Graphics and the concepts of weapons

Nice game, cool graphics! It was a bit too hard to find the correct color for the enemies, but nice game overall Great job.

Nicely done and well made

Nice work. It looks very, very good. It was a bit unclear at first that you had to change elements, but otherwise a fun experience.

I would have prefered the robot didn't ignore the player, the game paly became kind of passive I just stood in the middle and sniped most of the time because that's all I had to do. I died after the aim got inverted, I thought I saw a text saying x to undo invertion but that didn't do anything. The game works with he theme and overall seems like the beginning of a nice shooter.

anaconda-games 2017-12-06 18:41

@oson there is actually no "x to undo invertion" that was "mouse X inverted" that mean it inverte your mouse axis and you have the survival mode where the robots attack you if you want :smile:

The mechanics were really cool to play with, having your controls inverted and choosing what to use to kill ennemies while playing a FPS game is something you normally never want, so playing with it was a great concept nice job !

I liked this! Thanks for letting me play on my stream. It tooks some time to understand the colour mechanic, but the guns and the overusing them was quite intuitive to discover. The control schemes changing did add to the challenge for sure, and was quite satisfying. The pace of enemies coming was right in my opinion.
