It was... interesting? I don't know, I think the gameplay of flying upwards and shooting things could work quite well! However, how you did it was a bit confusing. For one, in a game like this I think the player needs to see more. So maybe you could have moved the camera out a bit, because it was very difficult to know where you're headed - especially when you're in the air and there's no things around you to tell how fast you're going. I'm also not a huge fan of the shooting mechanics - why do I shoot so many things in random directions instead of just one bullet where I'm clicking? Anyway, the core concept is nice, but I felt the execution was a bit lacking. Still a nice entry though.

Originally I planned to have lasers coming out of her eyes but it wasn't working properly and I ran out of time to do shooting the way I liked. I can update and improve the game if people like. I have ideas to add more features and upgrades. I was very limited with my time to develop something this comp.

I think there is an issue with the game scene. The game show only the ui and not the game itself error2.png

I love the back story haha. But the game play was a bit strange. Like my jetpack ran out so fast and then I had to wait down the bottom for it to pick up again, shoot one unicorn and repeat.

That's why you upgrade the jet pack to fly further

It look like an interesting idea but way not complete ^^ To be honest I didn't really enjoyed the Gameplay, maybe my screen was too little but I thought that my characters was mooving way too fast to have time to watch where i go and what I must shoot. I think the problem here was that you had constructed your gameplay good and everything was working but it just need some calibrating to make it a lot more enjoyable.

But for just 24 hours, its great that you managed to finish and build a game, moreober, the ambiance and graphics are pretty funny ^^

The gameplay was... Strange. The randomly thrown bullets felt out of place, and the character cas too big for the screen ^^'. I loved the graphics and the humor though, and I'm always amazed that people can create a game alone in only 24h ! Congrats !

I really wanted to enjoy this.... arial vs unicorns , i mean c'mon.... but the game viewing window was far too small for me to do anything....

But the idea... oh the idea.... 10/10

I'll make a PC build in a bit so you can change the resolution to whatever you need. I'll do it when I get home.

mrwillowb 2018-12-06 05:51

Try to host game somewhere else, example itch.io this is so buggy. Overall Strange and fun game :D

I really liked the graphics and how it looked in general.

Interesting idea! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/MmJYQ_UA09A
