If you escape the stage boundaries, is that considered a win?

Don't do drugs kids
Great fun shooting all those mutants and I loved the effects of the mutations (one point I think I was a pixel on a screen..)
Only criticism would be audio is abit samey here and there and whether or not the out of bounds glitch was a feature or a bug I'm not too sure.. :thinking:
Fun game! Had a time where i went of the map but else, graphics are really good and game play so! Well done!
Is it a bug or the idea that you thrown from the room? Anyway it was really fun!
@ponchoguy You're right, especially the gun noise could've used some variation. And the volume toned down. Thank you for your feedback!
I liked the game overall, some points of critique: - there is a bug if you pickup a booster it zooms you out till the point the screen is just black - the gun doesn't "feel" very powerfull, this is mostly due to the fact you can just hold down the shoot button, it takes multiple hits to kill any form of enemy and the sound doesn't feel very gun like.
- The camera was also very zoomed in so its hard to see enemies coming before they hit you, which feels kinda unfair.
Hope this feedback helps you guys!
Not bad idea, but want more fun!
Wow ! The game FEELS great !! >< Really fun ! :-D If you want to see waht we did, you can check it out there : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/the-darkest-light
Good Game, but didn't survived more than 30 second each time :rofl:
I think that the zoom out need to be restricted and also give cooldown to return it back to normal. Other than that, the game is overall amazing! The graphics are really good and the game is really fun to play!
Hahaha! This is fun. I love this idea and it makes me laugh. Besides the battle is challenging. And Now I understand what NO LIMIT means...
Fun gameplay. It matches the theme, but I think it could be even better with some limitations.
Great implementation of the theme! I like how upgrades that are beneficial at first lead to your eventual demise. The game stopped for me when it zoomed out so far, the whole screen was black. I could still shoot, but didn't lose health anymore. Do enemies still spawn at that point? Also, personally I find the gun sound rather annoying. But overall it's a really fun game! The cartoony graphics are cool, too.
Really great, but the controls make it really easy to move the mouse off the game window. Everything else was awesome.
So much fun to play. I was not sure what each booster was achieving. One seemed to zoom out and at some point I just couldn't see hahaha. High pace enjoyable game. Congrats!
Like everyone is saying it is pretty easy to escape outside the map. Fun too.
Enjoyable, the powers are fun and the game is in the theme.
I kinda like the zoom-out power, as it indeed is a boost (when not zoomed out too much).
Nice. I enjoyed it a lot. I didn't understand that taking the shots makes them increase in numbers till later (I am not even sure right now). And for some reason, I can get into the wall. I also like that the camera zooms out near the end. Overall, it is really fun.
Nice art, I like how the booster shots accumulate and that fits with the theme. I got stuck outside the map though.
Really fun right away. I couldn't seem to fullscreen it, and seemed to click off screen too often. Still super fun and would recommend to people based on gameplay.
The concept is great! The gun sounds are a bit repetitive after a while though. Maybe a sound loop could've fixed that.
The outside room glitch got me but the game plays well for what it is!
Fun shooter game. I'm not entirely sure what effects the different color syringes had, but I liked that as the game went on things went much crazier with the field of view, and speed, and number of enemies and everything. I did end up shooting myself out of the level repeatedly once I got whatever power had my gun giving me knockback, thought at first I was able to still walk my way back. It would have been nice to see some weapon and level variation, since it was just the one gun and square room. Overall, though, a pretty cool take on the theme, and nice execution.
Thank you for all the feedback so far! I've working through everyone here to try their game out. There are quite a few great entries for this LD!
Fantastic graphics! Really enjoyable :)
"KEEP SHOOTING DON'T STOP SHOOTING UNLESS YOU GET SHOT OUT OF THE ROOM" - Me laughing my ass off as I shot into the void. Great fun little game, I would have kept playing until I got shot out, more levels and music would elevate this game.
Nice graphics, well done 👌
It's really cool ! Unfortunatly I had a black screen when I picked the booster :< but keep it up !
Neat concept. The art was nice too. I got overwhelmed pretty quickly, but that's part of the fun (:
The game was really fun, as long as it lasted, which was not long because the room I was in disappeared. I get that that's because of the boosters I collected but making the whole screen black is an unfair punishment (also I didn't die then for some reason). I also liked the graphics while I saw them and the music was cool.
The gameplay loop and the audio get a wee bit repetitive, but it has some jolly nice graphics. I also really like how the power-ups are essential at first, but can quickly make the game impossible. Quality interpretation of the theme and a fine game all round!
The art is fantastic! i love the look of the characters, both the player and enemy designs. Definitely the most upset i've ever seen a character.
fun, good looking game. The character design is great!
Loool! Now I know what is 'No Limits' s.jpg
