i like the graphics a lot! overall great job.
The game looks pretty good!
Went in expecting to shoot some spaceships, got just that.
1) The static turrets were more annoying than challenging. Some rooms they were hitting me from outside the screen. It looked like they only locked on if the player is in a line from them. Once I realized that, I realized it is better to not stay at the edges. Still died to the static turret in one of the rooms in 2nd level.
2) The moving enemies often got stuck in doorways, unable to move while I was still able to hit them with my laser. I did not see them shoot their weapon once actually. Maybe if they were smaller it would solve the doorway issue?
3) "+max life" - i was unable to figure out what this would do until I actually used it. I think if it just said "+1 life" or something that would have been better. Also, there seems no reason to use repair instead of +max life unless there is a cap and I haven't reached that yet.
Overall, the shooting experience was fun, upgrades felt meaningful as well. Seems like there is a giant enemy looking at the screenshot as well, so I am off to play some more and destroy it :D
Awesome little game! The graphics are really good, especially the movement. Superintuitive as well and the audio is nice :)
@gcttirth thanks for th meaningful critics :-) Indeed there are amy things not polished. I started with a smaller idea in mind and then I expanded it over my possibilities of delivering within 48h.
I really enjoy the graphic style!
Awesome game! Graphisc were great, sound was nice as well(though the background music was did get a little repetative). This was one of the most fun games I played from LD44 and the difficulti was good as well, took me 3 tries to beat the boss.
Nice Graphics But Sound Is Loud
but its not match with the theme
That's a pretty nice game ! It seemed a little short to me, maybe fire rate upgrade is OP, it took me 3min to put an end to that machine rebellion, deathless. :D
I had fun. Nice graphics and gameplay, (though the static turrets got annoying). Would benefit from more sound and particle effects when hitting/killing enemies.
A little simple, but interesting, a pity that there is not more different enemy but it is normal for a LD. Good Job
Simple game with fun gameplay. It felt quite complete but as you say, some more polishing would have been useful to make a better gaming experience.
I like that there are multiple types of enemies and the upgrade system was a nice touch too. Clever use of the theme with using HP as a currency for upgrades.
Good job! :smiley:
@mia-devs The theme connection would be that you need to spend your life to buy upgrades. Not particularly close relation, I have to admit :) On the other hand, this was one of the only 3 themes I voted against xD I was really no inspired by it.
The mechanic of powerup´s for life points is very accurate. Enjoy playing it. The graphics and the carming little character got me 10 mins into it. Easy and fun to play, congratulations!
Damn, very stylish graphics. Dude, I like the way you do 3d!
I really like the level design! Maybe the enemies could get harder over time and you should add checkpoints when traveling through portals. But other than that, a great game!
Pretty good game overall.
I think that repair and max life are a little redundant as repairing one lost life or earning a new one is basically the same, meaning you could only have a single +1 Life button and simply not display lost lives.
The shooting and the enemies were pretty alright, as was the balancing of the stats with the level ups. The boss on the second level kept destroying me from out of the screen though.
Very neat and polished game! A short but enjoyable experience!
I really liked the art and idea alot! My complaints are as follows: can't hear enemies charging laser/ firing, close range ones to slow to ever hurt you and the final boss was quite confusing and impossible to avoid?
This is overall a pretty good top down shooter. The graphics is good, but every thing is a bit too overblown by the light. I love the music, and the sound effects was great. The game overall felt a bit too slow.
Nice game and nice mood. The sound and graphics are really nice.
It is really hard to avoid beams which you cannot see coming though...
Nice graphics! I have not understood the cost of the upgrades very well. Need more feedback when you hit the enemies, some sounds or color animation. When I die I must to start from the beginning :( It was so easy to kill enemies behind the "doors". Maybe close doors when you enter a room and spawn the enemies then?
I like the game! Nice job!
I'm a sucker for top-down shooters so my review might be a bit biased, but this was a really fun experience! The player starts a bit sluggish in my opinion, but a single speed upgrade was all I needed to counter that. The enemies felt fair (the big cannon-boss-thingy had a couple too many damage ticks in its attack, but that's a good punishment for not avoiding it). The music... was there, and that's all I can say in that regard. I didn't really mind it, but it didn't improve the overall mood too much. Overall, it was a pleasant game and a great execution of the top-down genre!
@corny indeed I'm really not a "music guy" :D I like music, but I'm totally unable to compose something decent... I just have to be grateful that cgmusic was available... :)
