Nice game

I think I won? Enemies stopped spawning. I can still move around the room though. I came out ahead with $1460 though, so not bad for the time I put in! Honestly, the intro text was kind of rough, especially with the visual effect (post-processing?) that was used to bend the image. It cut off some of the text, but I got the general idea. But the gameplay was where it was at! Solid foundation, could add on quite a bit from here. Congrats on the submission!

I'm not sure if the dialogue was necessary at the beginning, but I liked the overall style.

nek 2019-10-08 10:06

Liked the concept.

Neat visual effects and the core loop was kind of fun.

The theme felt a bit forced but it worked.

tony-redmer 2019-10-10 13:42

Simple concept - solid foundation, would love to see this built out more. Really loved the humor in the beginning ;)

noobdev 2019-10-10 14:04

@tony-redmer Thanks!!! I am planning on adding levels to the game after the voting ends. 😁

Nice arena shooter. It plays quite smoothly, but if you gave some sort of explanation on how the "barrel" weapon works (the one, that didn't shoot) it would have been a little bit less frustrating at the beginning of the game :slight_smile:

noobdev 2019-10-10 22:06

@annie-owl That barrel is supposed to be a shield but as I'm bad at art😞 it does look like a barrel πŸ˜… and yea an explanation would have been good. Thanks for your feedback I will make sure to add it to the game after the ratings are over. 😁😁

cool game love the simple graphics smooth movement great work!

noobdev 2019-10-11 09:28

Thanks @xotsu :smile:

Cool game! The graphics were very simple and the game difficulty ramped up very fast. Unfortunately there was no indication of the enemies health, which made it hard to decide which enemy to shoot. At last I was just overwhelmed by like ten enemies attacking me from all directions... I still had fun playing the game! Good work!

noobdev 2019-10-11 10:30

Thanks @jonas-michael :smile: I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Yep there should have been some enemy health bar but because of the time limitation I forgot to add a lot of stuffs. Thanks for letting me know I will add this to the game after the voting period is over.

Wow, the particle effects in this were awesome. Juicy.

demuss 2019-10-11 11:13

Solid execution of simple concept with nice juiciness

sillyman987 2019-10-11 11:23

Pretty Nice!

noobdev 2019-10-11 12:16

Thanks a lot @ashashza @demuss @sillyman987 It means allot. I'm glad that u enjoyed my creation. Thanks!!

sillyman987 2019-10-11 12:32

@NoobDev You're welcome!

captandrey 2019-10-11 19:17

simple and looks nice, good job)

bradleyashley 2019-10-12 19:46

I can figure this debt out! Bring it on! I just started deliberately running into enemies by the end.

welliton 2019-10-13 18:23

I liked the aesthetics and the post processing effects, it was a good touch! I died with 9k gold, what I do with them? Its a good simple game, but the reloading time bored me sometimes. Did I miss something about the reloading (Maybe i was to anxious to play your game)? Good job!

noobdev 2019-10-13 18:35

@welliton Damn you became rich :smile:. I'm glad you liked my game. Are you talking about the weapon? If yes then the thing is every few seconds your weapons change randomly between a gun and a shield and I'm not so good at art so maybe you couldn't see it. Sorry for that. I will make sure I make it more understandable in the updated version of the game after the rating period is over. Thanks for playing my game :smiley:.

spider-the-second 2019-10-14 15:33

Nice game, though the audio gets a bit repetitive, and the CRT effect is a little too strong.

selkkie 2019-10-14 16:21

Addicting! The visuals were neat, too. Very satisfying to play, nice work.

noobdev 2019-10-14 16:51

@spider-the-second Thanks alot. Sorry for the audio and as it was my first time with post processing effect I might have over done it a bit πŸ˜…πŸ˜…..... My bad.

noobdev 2019-10-14 16:51

@selkkie Thanks for those kind words. Really means a lotπŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜„

finnthepirate 2019-10-17 10:44

humor at the beginning was cool, it was challenging and a little confusing at first. Enemy health bar would be nice but all in all a nice arena shooter good job

noobdev 2019-10-17 10:59

Thanks @finnthepirate. Yep ur right, I should have added a health bar for the enemies but because of time I forgot to add a lot of stuffs πŸ˜…πŸ˜…. Thanks for the feedback, I will add this to the list of stuffs I will be adding to my game.

firesplash-entertainment 2019-10-17 19:38

Thanks for submitting your game for our LD Play&Rate stream! I enjoyed playing it but as I told you in the stream - The random weapon change was a bit annoying to me but after all the idea about the theme was clear.

noobdev 2019-10-17 19:42

@firesplash-entertainment Thanks for playing my game on your stream!!πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜€

zachary-shah 2019-10-19 02:01

Really neat game! I found my previous game experience very helpful in hoarding the enemies. However, I would alternate the spawn point as It felt like I wasn't able to even go in to the top left corner. Other than that, a great entry!

noobdev 2019-10-19 08:48

Thanks @zachary-shah . Thanks for the feedback, I just realized!! I implemented random spawn points but for some reason its not workingπŸ˜…. I will make sure to fix it. Thanks. πŸ˜€

itsdanidre 2019-10-20 06:46

I enjoyed this; Cause games help take out steam, not make you violent :^)

Gotta say, took me a while to get used to the quick paced skills needed for this. I ended with about 5000 coins in the end though...much more than I've ever earned irl so far :rofl:

noobdev 2019-10-20 08:21

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. Thanks for playing and rating my game @itsdanidre . Glad that you enjoyed it.

oddballdave 2019-10-25 13:24

You did well juicing up the simple graphics, it gave the game its own personality. Some nice audio in there too. The controls were good and meant the game felt like a fair challenge.

Good stuff :8ball:

noobdev 2019-10-26 11:16

@oddballdave Thanks a lot.

mad-brokli 2019-10-29 17:09

Fun game! :) Not a big fan of all the text in the beginning but it's just a personal preference. The post processing effects were nice :)

noobdev 2019-10-29 19:20

@mad-brokli Thanks for the feedback. I presented the text in a very bad way and I'm planning on fixing it. Glad that you enjoyed the game!! :smile:
