Awesome man!

baptiste-guerin 2018-12-04 09:03

Very nice game, but your a red headed man

najmm 2018-12-04 10:16

The game is very good. But has a few issues. -> I couldn't go up. Is that as per design? -> No audio -> Touching walls kills you. (Is that lava or a wall?)

pierre-f 2018-12-04 11:00

@najmm Thanks for the review, if you can't go up, try changing your keyboard from qwerty to azerty (Shift + Alt). There may be a bug in the webplayer with the sound but there is in the .exe download. And yes, it is lava. :)

Ha ha nice game dude!

Great little game! A little hard to dodge the attacks, but that may be me. I'm not good at wasd games....

blacklambert 2018-12-08 14:54

Quite fun to play. Even though I had some difficulties shooting and turning with only my touchpad. XD Maybe you should rate more games to get more ratings yourself. You'd deserve it. (:

wegpast 2018-12-08 15:00

Cool game :) But it would be better if when your amber bar is full that new collected amber heal you.

Thought it was great! Soundtrack was nice and reminded me a lot of old doom. Thought character movement was a bit slow unfortunately

pierre-f 2018-12-08 15:03

@blacklambert Thanks ! I didn't have time to rate games during the week infortunatly, I'm doing it right now

pierre-f 2018-12-08 15:04

@wegpast I thought about that, but it removed the sacrifice aspect of the healing spell so I did not add it :)

pierre-f 2018-12-08 15:05

@cr0wns Thanks a lot for taking the time ! Yes I know that is one of the issue of the game :/ the caracter is a bit slow for the large map

Fun to play, cool audio, nice graphics, but too hard game. I can't replanish my health and this way one mismove and your 15+ minutes of gameplay is ruined.

verbante 2018-12-08 15:11

This has potential. For me nuclear throne is a gtreat game for top down shooters to learn, and I just like it so much, thus I'm gonna give my advices based on that.

Speed : Your character is so slow make it loike at least 5 times faster it's way more fun like that. It's super hard to dodge stuff right now. You can make enemies stronger to balance this. Also map navigation will take less time when character gets faster and this is good.

Instrucitons: There was a second weapon that was more effective for eyes?? Learned that slightly before I finally die.

Health: What is the point of losing a healtbar if you can't refill health. Was there a way to do that. Than say so..

Length: Takes too long. I died and quit. Sorry for not playing till end. If it was shorter starting from the beggining could have been a fun chalange.

Difficulty curve: Should increase much faster, (assumung the game gets shorter). It feels stale.

Time takes to kill enemies : Could be slightly shorter. You are the judge.

View: Nuclear throne uses 4 : 3 for almost equal view inhorizontal and vertical, moving the mouse shifts the view area towards mouse position so that you can see even more and be prepared against enemies. You game uses 16 : 9, has an intrusive UI in the bottom, mouse has no effect and camera has a lot of smoothness = going down is waaay harder than going any other direction.

Visual style: Was awesome I'm a quite fan of particles myself. Felt like I was stranded in a desert cool. Could have had some landmarks/props (like a pile of bones) to make exploring more interesting.

I had fun playing te game. Hope the feedback was useful. Mention if you make a postjam version and I'll be happy to try again

P.S: Nice promotion

dusho 2018-12-08 15:17

really really good game. that gatling gun was cool (way better than shotgun). music and pixel art is amazing. also like the way camera was shaking when firing - don't remember seeing such way to shake camera. wish there was a way to replenish your health.

pierre-f 2018-12-08 15:23

@kornel-meszaros You can regain health by pressing F but it will take parts of your amber :)

pierre-f 2018-12-08 15:23

@novella Hahaha ! Unity collisions being unity collisions x)

pierre-f 2018-12-08 15:24

@dusho You can by pressing F

arcus 2018-12-08 15:29

I loved the music, fits the game. the player seems to move quite slow and looks a bit like a ballet dancer. I attempted the game twice and died the first time, so difficulty setting may be a good idea.

garygreen 2018-12-08 15:29

I had a lot of fun playing this & doing a lot of mindless blasting. The graphics were fun & the audio gave it another level. Nice work. :)

pierre-f 2018-12-08 15:34

@verbante Thank you so much for all that feedback ! :D

- Yes I agree that the caracter is too slow, sorry for that...

- It is said in the intro theme that some weapons are stronger on differents enemies

- You can win health back by pressing F, it's in the intro text (I sould have forced the player to read the intro text at least one time, a lot of peoples missed on thoses infos)

- You are completely right, way to long (sad you missed the ending... maybe try again using the healing feature ?)

- At the final healthbar, new enemies spawn very quickly - Thanks for the advice !

- Particles are indeed the best, I wanted to include little props but didn't have the time :/

- Yes i'll make a post-jam one in a few weeks ;) your feedback will be greatly taken into account !

dusho 2018-12-08 15:41

@pierre-f ah ok. was that described somewhere and I missed it? I remember that one of the description screens (that had space to continue) was like skipped - looked like space was registered twice or something, maybe some delay for registering space would fix it

pierre-f 2018-12-08 16:01

@dusho Yes it's in one of the screens, but you are right the space to skip button is kinda broken :/

luis-recinos 2018-12-08 16:45

shito 2018-12-08 16:58

Lol this game is fun. I loved blasting everything. The music is simple but it doesn't get boring in my opinion. Overall the game has a nice retro vibe.

rosik 2018-12-08 20:55

Game is nice and challenging at the end (too long, btw), but... Why weapon switch set on 2 different buttons if you have only 2 weapons? I took more damage, than I should because of this.
