Great style and music in this one! Really enjoyed it.

pierre-avinain 2018-08-14 16:04

Very beautiful graphics ! I love gameplay

skyrex 2018-08-14 16:05

I don't know how it matches with theme and how to survive in this game

flashviper 2018-08-14 16:10

I love the energy bubble idea! Very innovative!

angela-k 2018-08-14 16:11

Enjoyed the music, I didn't realize my shield was depleting when I used to to attack or I would have been more sparse with my space bar. I never did get to the end though even though I roamed for what felt for ever. The music kept me going though. Good Job!

I loved the graphics and the machanics! The energy bubble is a very good interpretation of the theme!

Congrats!!

Hey @angela-k thank you very much. Yes its pretty tough to get to the end we need to balance that better :)

This game is so nice, great job! I encountered a bug though, here is a screenshot! LDjam01.PNG The graphics and music are awesome and I enjoyed playing it for a while. Great job!

Doesn't work for me. It loads and then just display "Index out of bounds".

Nice graphics and gampeplay idea! I liked the fact that the swarms can push you even if you walk towards them. It was a little bit repetitive though, when you understand that killing ennemies gives you enough energy to survive, it gets somehow too easy ^^'

Gameplay is fun and the music is cool. The artstyle is good too. I love the look of the enemies. Good job!

hi-irie 2018-08-14 16:24

Great visuals and the music goes really well together. Love the simplicity of everything and just the overall idea. Controls are also very easy to understand. Great job team!!!

I ran until I got bored and then a little further. I don't really get the point of this one, but some of the sprites are super clean and the music is good. Also, it seems to miss the mark a bit. This time last year, the theme was 'Running out of Power' and this would have fit that perfectly, but the theme wasn't that and it really missed the mark.

fizzpowmike1 2018-08-14 17:06

The art is very nice, but I think this game really needs some navigational cues, right now you just run until you die.

lespaul59 2018-08-14 17:20

hey @fizzpowmike1 thank you very much! Yes your right we will keep on working on the gameplay. :)

draeskai 2018-08-14 17:28

Really nice entry, I love your game mechanics and graphics! Well done!

supriya 2018-08-14 17:42

The graphics are nice! Crisp and clean. Character silhouettes stand out well.

One thing I should mention is, there's a strange jitter on the screen when I move the character. Not sure what that was. But, I liked the enemy sprite movement!

raccoon-js 2018-08-14 17:46

The character is too slow. But I liked the music, though.

dylan-shumway 2018-08-14 17:48

Has a great aesthetic to it! I don't know if I was playing really poorly or if I was missing the goal, but I found myself mostly walking until I ran out of energy, as my attacks didn't seem to do much to the enemies and I never encountered an energy tower. I think if the way to kill enemies was made more clear, then I would have been much more engaged.

shafournee 2018-08-14 17:54

Overall the game felt fun and polished, but the lack of variation was disappointing for how long you're playing it. I think adding different enemies or more abilities for the player would bring this game from a good to a great! Good job, and keep up the great work!

siridakis 2018-08-14 17:59

Nice graphics and music. I got to walk around for quite a while but the map seems a bit too big to try and find the portal only by luck with no traceability.

lespaul59 2018-08-14 19:15

hey @shafournee thank you for playing! Yes we will add some more enemies but the lack of time has forced us to finish it in this stage :)

louis-denizet 2018-08-15 21:10

Good answer for the theme and graphics are nice but the gameplay feels heavy, good job anyway!

zicboy 2018-08-18 08:41

Awesome game! I enjoy the art and mood of it. Keep up the good work!
