I love how flexible this theme was! People thought of all sorts of ideas for this, and your game pulls off the "sacrifice of mechanics" interpretation of the theme very well. Very retro, in both sound effects and simplified pixel style. Not a bad game by any means- would've sold very well on NES and it was made in a weekend.
Very interesting concept, But I guess it would be more interesting if we have to choose a certain number of skills to enable. because if I disable everything for mobility I wouldn't be able to move. :D Had some laughs playing this. Great Job
That was fun !, reminded me a little of Joust. It would be nice if the tank config persisted across restarts.
That's nice! There are several combinations that can almost trivialize the first level but the second is very, very hard. I enjoyed it a lot. I feel that 20 kills is a bit too much though.
Bonus points for knife tank.
Fun little game idea :D Knife Tank made me giggle
Good game! The Atari Pixel art mood is very cool!!! I like a lot of the config choice in the beginning, creating a set of abilities to your tank.
Pretty interesting, though I couldn't get past the 2nd round. There were some nice gains when you realize the level wraps around both vertically and horizontally, and it becomes about knowing what the best placement for yourself is in the level. I think it is a bit too hard for me right now, perhaps if you could get more power on the weapons. I could see something like that where you also have a higher tradeoff (like always moving or unintended movement, etc). nice job!
I loved the idea!
I like the game!
Congratulations!
nice game and very interesting idea, it game looks like old arcade game. i like it :)
Nice concept i like the fact that you can change your tank and it will change all the caracteristics! Fun and difficult i like !
Congrats, nice game !
Challenging game! 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/QGU5NZBTfXo
Seriously neat idea, and quite addictive. I mostly tried using only jump/left/fire and it seemed doable, but I only made it to level 3 once. I refused to make it any easier for myself :D
Wow! Really great idea! I love how you implemented the sacrifice theme! This is cute, funny and fun to play!
nice screenshakes! Kinda too hard for me sometimes, but I guess I just suck too much in this kind of game, so great entry anyway.
Awesome game, good challenge! I went only right/fire/melee and it worked pretty well. I like the range of playstyle available even though it's fairly simple. It's a well designed game.:)
Honestly I'm impressed. There are a lot of feedback, and it's very fun. Hats off to you.
Nice game, the retro look is cool, and I like the "sacrifice controls" thing
I like the theme integration. It was way too hard for me tho. Maybe what I would do is make you able to change your controls after every level to adapt to it (I wasn't able to do that at least) and maybe even restart at that level, but maybe I just suck at it.
Theme well used. It all works well and feels good to play. It feels complete for its scale. It gets a bit samey but solid entry.
Hey Gamepopper101! Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!
