That's a pretty fun game! I just made it through all the levels, and I think the difficulty curve is pretty good as the two last levels aren't easy. I think it could make a great mobile game.
The graphics are simple, but efficient. The animations, however, are quite jittering, they could have been smoother.
Enjoyed playing this! Simple enough concept but the gameplay is genuinely fun and it feels a lot more polished in the menus and animations than most jam entries are. Very easy to pick up and play quickly too. Well done!
So for the first few levels I was like "Eh, this is kinda easy, I like the concept but the level design isn't very interesting. I can just move back and forth in two spots and win every level."
Then I got to level 5. Oh yeah.
The last few levels really show off this concept. It's really fun, and the bubbly particle effects make the movement really satisfying to watch, even when I lose and have to restart the level. The more bullets there are on the screen, the more fun it is to watch.
It's too short! I really wanted more.
And - the player death needs to be way more visually stimulating. It's more like a "boop" than a "OH CRAP I GOT HIT BY A BULLETTTT!"
really neat idea and execution! the difficulty curve is really cool too! starts out easy but gets hard really quick!
I really liked it, managed to get through all levels without a stroke (needed some luck tho). But I think the difficulty curve is a little too steep to the 5th level. I think the first 4 levels together are as difficult as the 5th alone so yea
Really nice game. I enjoyed it. It would be great to accept the mouse in the menu. Sometimes the graphic flickers.
This was really great! That last level was definitely my favorite! It required me to think a bit more on my feet in the second half after the new bullets entered on screen. The movement was a little visually glitchy for me but it din;t inhibit gameplay. Great work!
Really fun game though I had some problem moving around in the menu
Neat game. Love how easy but challenging the concept is at the same time.
That was fun. I'm not sure how much I actually "solved" the levels as "chose the only move that doesn't kill me" but that already speaks volumes. It was tight, there was challenge and there is scope for more.
Really showing off your level design skillz there, nice.
a fun little game. The UI could've been better
This is really fun, great game.
Great game design, the levels taught the mechanics well. I would have liked to see the bullets zoom away once you win, and as others mentioned, the movement was a little stuttery.
Very good game. I have to play it to the end. This deserves attention
Got really scared when the giant skeleton car started chasing me! Really nice game! Good Job!
Screenshot_2.png Nice! Loved it! The animations are awesome!
Loved the game design. Great job! The levels were smart, required some thinking and in general was great fun. Just a tip though, I think when the bullets were facing opposite directions and were on top of each other, would have been easier to see if they were side by side, rather than being on top of each other, as it was easy to make a mistake thinking you were safe :).
Great job!
Bullet heaven.
Awesome puzzle format idea! I don't think I've ever seen any other puzzle game with this concept before. My only real gripe is that you can't see all the bullets at the start of each level, but that's a minor thing.
Interesting idea, worked pretty well, some of the animations jumped back a little after they were done, good job though. Nice short game. Consider adding more levels?
Seeing the bullets at the start of each level always gives me chills!
- Pros: Simple graphics that service the game well and convey every idea perfectly. Color scheme and learning curve well established. - Cons: Too many ways to win. I only died once (and I'm not good at these games). I'm sure you'll do more with more time.
Overall, I liked it and don't mind seeing more. Good job.
Simple but addictive game. Good job
Hey everyone!
Thanks to all of you for the kind words. It really means a lot to me to receive this much positive feedback. I also enjoyed trying out all of your creations, so check your comments for a review of mine if you haven't already!
I thought it was a really minor issue, but the stuttering that happened sometimes at the end of animations really annoyed me and seemingly a lot of you as well. So I put up a fix! :)
Whether or not to zoom out to show all bullets in a level from the beginning was a choice I considered, but since it made the level look really empty if zoomed out that far (you have to imagine that because all bullets are aligned with the axes of the walkable space, the corners of the screen would be completely blank) I decided against it. I also thought it was fine to let the player "think on their feet" a bit, as the game does not punish death a lot (you do not get set back far, or lose any points).
Anyway, I really enjoyed all your feedback and suggestions. :)
Cheers!
I have to say, this is surprisingly a very cool and interesting puzzle game. I didn't expected the concept to be this engaging and challenging. Congrats !
Very cool concept and great execution on the core mechanic. Addictive and well presented. Nice work!
Very nice game, good idea! I liked it, would definitely play on mobile with more levels. Any plans on continuing the development? If you'd like you can check out my game as well :)
cool idea! animations are nice too. simple sounds would add alot. what if some bullets moved slowly in real time?
Good level progression, just needs more levels :)
Very cool idea! I like the simple graphics and UI. Audio would be great addition though. I completed all levels and I wish it had more of them. :D
Hey there, I made it through all the levels! It's a great entry, the graphics are simple but works perfectly, and the level progression is great, so you can learn little by little how to pass the level. Nice job :D
The game mechanic is great, the levels weren't too easy or too hard, and graphics were fitting (explosion in particular was very nice). I like how the trail notified me of hidden bullets and their directions. Really good entry.
