The particle and lighting effects in this game look great. The gameplay felt a bit unfair, mostly because I never quite understood the criteria for the lava spreading/ground falling. A visual timer, or maybe a warning crack could help with that.
Similar to the above comment: looks so awesome and polish... but I just don't know what is happening and I constantly die and it make for a frustrating experience :(
@ectucker1 , @kornel , thanks for your feedback! Floor tiles will explode after a few seconds with 25% chance (originally it was 100% chance) when player collide with them. It's realy a good idea to make a warning of that! I will try to implement this in future updates :)
Cool presentation of the mechanic! Loved the pace and feel of the game.
I like the look of this game and it's challenging but there are a few problems that make it less fun. There's no timer or indication that the ground is burning so it makes it hard to see where to run. Also the walls and floor look very similar so you can't always see where to shoot. I feel like running out of space is the inevitable end of the game, so there is no way to improve or get a better score or any need to play again. If there was a bigger boundary it might be more fun.
Nice game, but Its hard to see and there is no win screen. But overall solid 3.5/5 :D
The graphics and sound were excellent, but I have to agree that sometimes the deaths felt a little unfair and frustrating. Still a lot of fun, though.
Really well mastered game. The graphics were absolutely gorgeous and the music has its effect too. Real cool to see a game like that, that is a little hit :)
I like the effects, the art and the controls. I understand you incorporated the theme really well, but I really wanted a larger playground. When it comes to fun - its really fun. Solid Entry!
At first I forgot what was the objective of the game because i was so immersed with the music, the explosion effects and the shooting sound effect that i was ytying to play the song the the shooting effect :) I love the music, the art style the effects everywhere. It's a fun game with an amazing mood
Really love this game, give a very nostalgic newgrounds era feeling! Really like the art and the audio. Some different type of weapon effects or upgrades would give it just that extra bit of polish.
Litteraly running out of space :) as it's already been said, the game is super well made, with awesome intense action. The only thing missing is a bit of predictability on the tiles behavior, as the game is randomly generated, which prevent from learning and improving.
Other than that, congratulations, the game looks awesome!
Cool game ! Unfortunalty my keyboard is not in "wasd" so it was hard for me ! but it was cool good job :)
Really Nice game, the visuals are so good, the map remind me of Nuclear Throne, really cool. And the laser was so pleasing to shot. The idea of the floor collapsin was good, but I dont know if it was a bug or intended but when there is lava already on the floor I didnt fell on it, so I didnt have to be carefull about it. The marking of the pieces on the rocks made it less exploration and more recollection, I think been transparent would make the game feel a little bit less straigt forward and more challenging. The other thing that was wierd was the jump between scenes that was too sudden and disorienting. But all of that are small things, the game feels so good. Very good Job.
Simple idea with a really nice execution. The visuals are very pretty and the music, uh, rocks. Good job!
Hey there! This game was played on www.twitch.tv/arjendesign just now! Great work!
Very good Job, nice game! :thumbsup:
This is probably the game I had the most fun playing this jam. The graphics and particles look great, the music is fantastic, and it's randomly generated to boot. Overall the reason I think this game plays so well is because of the smaller details that make the game unique, like the "detayals" exploding so the player doesn't get stuck and there's a variety in animation, or like the few empty spots that only really exist to break up the level and make it more interesting. The game could have been submitted without those small things and still been good, but the fact that they were added makes this game excellent. Great Job!
Really nice, I just wish it had a proper next level or restart screen after you win.
Is there an end level? Or is it supposed to be an endless wave?
Anyways those effects were dope. Splosions and lazers ftw! :laughing:
Really impressive and polished entry! So satisfying to shoot everything! Thanks for sharing your game with my stream awhile back. Your game was played around 1:41 into this vod: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/300724241
