Nice game! It reminds me a lot the old BOXHEAD. Really nice gameplay!
Was really fun to play, can't say I was very good though :yum: The fact that your bullets seem to be blocked by enemy bullets makes enemy build ups very difficult, not sure if that's intended. Controls are nice and the theme incorporation is pretty cool: really funny that we had similar ideas. It's a solid game, you should be proud. :smile:
Really liked it! - Since you asked for honest feedback, I find that the enemies could be more fun if they shattered around you, instead of stacking up, but that is perhaps a lot to ask for a jam game. We didn't get that implemented in our game either haha, but it is worth looking into, if you plan on moving further with this.
@nodine I didnt had enough time to make them not stack on each other, but I wanted to change that. And dont worry he feedback is helpful. I mean if no one says "I dont like it", I wont know whether or not people actually liked it. Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it.
@zac-mcdonald Smart people think alike :D Ive seen the rules of your game in that stream, and I was like "wait a minute, thats my game in 3D hahahaha". It wasnt intended, just the pressure of time :P Thank you for your kind words and your feedback :)
I loved it!
Nice and straightforward game!
The game is extremely hard when there are many enemies around you because their bullets will destroy yours. Maybe needs more "juice" in the combat to make it more enjoyable?
It looks really nice, I loved the gameplay. It might have looked better as a multiplayer, but it's your game. Well done!
@cliff-lee-cl Can you explain what you meant with juice? Do you mean different enemies, which are also not clumping up?
@bluemirror I mean, like, visual effects. Different enemies definitely helps :)
The controls and sounds give a really tight feeling. I know how hard it is to get this right and you did it :). It is really fun to play. The fact that enemy bullets block your own bullets gives you a little pressure not just to run away all the time, you must defeat this guys early or you are dead :). Maybe one could have a limited number of nukes (like in super probotector for the snes) so you can kill the whole screen when you messed up. Also the enemies could fire in different shapes like in many bullet hell games. Then it would get more exciting to avoid the bullets. But these are just some proposals for further improvement. Great work!
Hi! Good game overall! I felt like it wasn't worth killing enemies because they blocked my bullets, so I just tried to keep my ammo at or near zero and run for the coins. Also, as enemies just follow you directly and just shoot at your direction, it makes just walk in circles to best way to avoid them and the bullets. Perhaps there should be more behaviors to make them more dangerous. Cool happy song too. =]
@aaforcebox Thanks for the feedback!
I really liked it! It was a solid interpretation of the theme that wasn't over the top like other bullet games, but the best part about it was how satisfying the sound effects were when you killed something and how head bopping the music was (did you create it yourself? I loved the random sound effects amongst it!)
The visuals obviously need work, but the core game itself is great. Good stuff !
Cool Little game that is also super hard. The tradeoff mechanic is both innovative and a great interpretation of the theme. My only problem with the gameplay was the fact that your own bullets seem to collide with other bullets, and therefore it was a little too hard for me (i know, git gud) to hit the enemies. But fun, will be playing more :)
@nights87 Thank you a lot! I didnt make the music thats why I did opt out of sound. But I made most of the sounds with Bfxr myself. Nice to hear that you like them. Ya the visuals are my Achilles tendon :P Maybe I will attack that on the next Jam, but I usually just try to make a crisp game :D
This was enjoyable to play! I kept getting wrapped up in killing enemies rather than collecting the coins! Quite difficult also!
loved the loose life get ammo mechanic, the movement with the camera felt weird but nice game
@kerneltt what do you mean with "the movement with the camera" you mean that you move the camera with where the mouse is? And what do you mean with "weird".
