I liked this one. I feel like it was quite a bit basic and could definetly use more features. I really like what is currently there however. My only mechanical complaint is that its VERY slidy.

Nice pixel art. Slow at start be rapidly quick. like it :).

If we combine the main characters from our games, we'll end up with a fully dressed ghost-mage lol :D

Good gameplay overall. Lack of sound was maybe a little disappointing. Graphics were pretty good, and I had fun.

I'm not really sure how you're meant to respond to comments but I guess this is how I'm doing it.

@c0d3d Firstly, thanks for your feedback! I know it's pretty simple, but I didn't really have any ideas to make it more complex. I wasn't sure about the slidy-ness of the movement, because I wanted it to be sort of floaty but I guess I kind of overdid it.

@pvp Thanks, I didn't spend much time tuning the spawn rate so it's probably a bit clunky.

@d1gital-cuts Oh, yeah I guess you're right, that's pretty cool!

@devbat8712 I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, it would've been nice to have sound, but it's by far my weakest area and I have trouble with it even when I'm not doing a jam, but I'll definitely try to add it in later.

That esallated quickly. The progression works really well for a quick arcade-style playthough

Very arcadeish gameplay, I liked it. Simple enough but it works and I like the graphics too. It could use more enemies or some use for the money other than score.

Simple, but effective! The graphics are really nice. While the aforementioned slidy-ness took a sec to get accustomed to, I didn't have an issue with it and I thought it fit well with the design of the character.

Simple, nice, effective. My only gripe is that by spamming mouse click, I miss my score at the end! I would have the same issue in my game but I put a little timer in to stop it happening. :slight_smile:

It's a good base for a game, but it definitely needs more features to make it more interesting.

I was able to get 139 coins. The core gameplay feels solid. It starts out slow, then gets overwhelming very fast, especially when the blue flames start warping around. Some additional types of enemies and powerups would make this game even better.

daria-toni 2019-05-15 22:21

Simple, but actually fun and addictive :) Spent some time on it. Glad I stumbled!

tommyflower 2019-05-16 08:00

I was thinking : this is a bit slow but then...I was sorrounded by the flames :D liked the graphics but I couldn't hear any sound/music (html). I agree with @levidsmith, it would be nice to add something different to make it more engaging.

Works quite well and plays smoothly!

I liked the floatiness of the character. The design is really cool, too!

Two things I think could be easily improved: 1) It's a bit straining on the index finger to have to keep clicking. The ability to continuously shoot by holding down the button would be greatly appreciated. 2) Since the game auto-restarts upon death, it's really hard to catch your score.

Was there supposed to be music in the game? I didn't hear any, but I see you did not opt out of audio, so it might have been a bug in the WebGL version.

Otherwise, cool little game, I liked it! :)

The theme isn't very present here but it's a nice little game. I'm surprised I didn't hear any music too, because you did not opt out of audio and I played the windows build.
