Also link dont work.
Nice try anyway. This game entertained me for as long as I was alive in the game. (That is to say not long)
I do feel like it's an interesting concept but it needs some work. You should probably try to place the player where he/she is safe at the start of the game. There are a few times where I would just instantly die because of enemies being right near me.
:D
This definitely has potential and i like your use of the theme. Controls and shooting felt responsive. Good effort and i hope you do take this project further :smile:
@cameron-borthwick Thank you! Don't worry I am going to work on this game, acually today I think I will update, so if you want check it out.
@deadpotato Thanks. I know it is not much but I will work on the game improve the concept and also the game itself. Also I am gonna try to spawn the players further away from the player.
The game has a great concept: Not killing your enemies, because that hurts you, but in this version it is more efficient to kill the enemies, because everytime the enemy hits you (and they will) they hurt you and it would be better to take oneshot instead of an unknown number of shots. Also it gives you a better score. The enemies could be a bit slower, so I can escape them and the bullets, too, so I can dodge them. But all in all it's a great game. I hope, that you'll finish it and develop it into the game you imagined. Also the graphics are very simple, but the bullets look great.
Very cool idea! Hadn’t thought about that! hehe :P :top:
@drskort Thank you so much for your feedback! You have some interesting ideas and I will think about them. So you would do it so it would be better for the player to dodge the bullets then shoot. And the enemies would have only one shot... Hm sounds interesting, I will try it!
@johnnyginard Thanks!
Look at this: Your game is considered being a virus! xD https://www.virustotal.com/de/file/b898f8f8946b74dbfcbce16937937926a9ae134952e1275fa61259cc92c68369/analysis/1543950225/
Game review: The game seems to end after 30 seconds of gameplay.. I have killed every enemy and no more are spawning. pls fix!
I can see this being a big dungeon crawler game, I know it's in a early prototype so something to add, when you spawn, make enemies further away, or have your character spawn on a safe place. I won't say anything else since you stated yourself, it's in a very early stage.
An Interessting Game you made. Graphics, Sounds and Gameplay are good and the theme was successful. Good Work!
neat game concept. The mechanic is cool. You should keep working on it!
@luqey @sadsmile @drskort Thank you for playing the game and for your feedback! I have released a new version that is a little bit better (I hope) Enemies are now spawning further away from you and I got rid of the random generation for now because I think at this point it was just annoying (I still want to use the random generation in newer versions of the game) I have also tweeked speed of the enemies and bullets. New updates will we coming soon :smile:
Fun concept and nice, simple pixel art. The way the health drops go, it seems like if even one enemy doesn't drop health, you'll die so there's not much of an incentive to kill enemies. I think some audio and extra juice behind the shooting would improve the feel too. Keep up the good work!
Nice game, I like it. Surely you can see that it's not finished, but that's not a shame. What you made is very well made!
Good concept but after a certain point it becomes impossible to proceed.
That was a fun game, but a bit hard at some points. The graphism were well done, And it was pretty mavneuverable.
Also, it's funny to have a game called Verto which is principally in shades of pink/purple !
it's a fun game ! i like graphics =) it was missing a nicer background and musics. Nice Jobs =)
Sounds are much needed but otherwise a solid game, I suggest you keep working on it. It has potential! Maybe make hearts occasionally spawn randomly around the play area as even though I hit every single shot I still died because I ran out of "ammo"
Quite funny prototype, you should do something of it :)
You have a good concept but it needs something to add some replay value to the game. I'm not gonna say that it needs sound or more feedback because you said you didn't have enough time. What I mean is that give the player a way to replenish his health and have a difficulty curve somehow to keep them going. I see potential in this. Good Job!
don't worry about not being able to finish! The idea is very ambitious and you did very well!
i like the game but i'm having problem when i died it says something like code error and then i need to restart game from executable, rather then that nice concept for theme sacrifice must be made good luck for further development of the game.
@bhavesh-tiwari Thank you for feedback. I haven´t got that error and as it seems nobody else did, I will look what it could be, if you send be the specific error code I can fix it.
Windows is mistaking the game for a virus (I've had that happen with itch.io downloads of plain executables, putting it inside a zip and uploading it fixed it for me. I wonder if itch.io modifies exe in some way or if it's a windows defender bug :/)
As for the game concept, it's a nice simple showcase of an interesting game mechanic, but as you noted, it needs more context. I'd use this to increase the feeling of tension on the player (i.e. as a temporary "powerup", or "curse") or to build a certain rhythm in the pacing of the action (i.e. if the player has low max but fast-recharging hp).
If you go forward with it, try to take a step back and consider how you can use the mechanic to drive the game, and generate specific thoughts/feelings in the player =)
