Yeah, true 8 bit tanks nostalgia)

@SeaHam Thanks A lot :smile:

yippiez 2018-04-23 08:46

@Petro Shoferystov Yeah love the retro feel. :sweat_smile:

I like the pixel art and the vibrant color pallet. The gameplay was unique. I found it interesting that colliding with walls got rid of the dots, limiting the area you could move in. This added a layer of depth to the movement system, although it took me a while to figure out how to play. My main criticism would be that there is quite a lot going on all at once, making it hard to keep track of everything on screen. Still, this is a really interesting entry. Nice work!

@superpokeunicorn i agree i was going to remove the pong background but i didn't and for the figuring out how to play i 100% agree that i did not gave enough information to user on how to play i should have added a tutorial level.

The movement system is very clever once explained, but I really don't know what my goal is!

yippiez 2018-04-23 18:52

@Radical Dog Thanks your goal is move to many doors as possible before dying

Good job! Nice art, although the blurriness rather ruined it. The audio was a little lacking, but that's okay when compared to the interesting mechanics. Good job, and good luck!

Love the art man! but as @Radical Dog said I'm not sure what my goal is either!

yippiez 2018-04-24 16:39

@Rombus Thanks a lot :smile: your goal is to move to many doors as possible :smile:

rombus 2018-04-24 17:12

@Yippiez Ohhh I see it on the gif now! I'll try it again :D

I've tried this game, i've failed this game... I found it very difficult, i'm feeling so stupid. Anyway, back to the game! It's great, great graphics, greate sound and gameplay, it's only me the problem. So apart from that your game is simply great!

daneestar 2018-04-27 22:26

The mood is pretty good. But like some other people I don't really understand what I have to do? Which ones are the doors?

mortus 2018-05-05 11:22

Very cool idea, but I feel like the randomness hurts the game a little bit, sometimes it's a real puzzle how to get to the door, because you don't have much moves at the very start of the level. The ball is also a bit too fast for me.

The gameplay felt solid, but it was frustrating at times when I would need to go in a certain direction, and there were no more spaces to allow moving in that direction. I liked that Manly Thomas showed visible damage when he was hurt by the obstacles. It felt like the exit spawned in random locations, which made some levels easy if the exit spawned to close to the entrance. Some more interaction with the pong game could have helped make it more applicable to the theme.

@levidsmith this might be late but there are options to move after your dots are gone in up right there is a shop you can use the blue bomb which will push you and enemies.
