Very cool and interesting game ! Nice work !
Aaah the game looked cool and fun, but the controls are for QWERTY, I managed to move with the arrow keys and beat some enemies, but I couldn't purchase any upgrade :sob:
Also I spotted some english mistakes, be careful :smile:
@snowirbis Sorry about that! I will try to work on an update to add remappable buttons, just didn't have time during the jam :sweat_smile:
its a good game, difficulty level would be nice, couldn't play much into the game
@joamd Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely work on adding difficulty levels to make the game more accessible
The game is a bit too difficult, but I really love the skeleton sprites and animations and the bloom effect on the power source is very attractive.
@gal-afik Thanks for playing and I’m glad you like the overall look of the game! I’m definitely going to work on the difficulty curve since I’ve had a lot of people say it’s too difficult
Edit: I got it. Sorry for the irrelevant comment :sweat_smile:
Hey bro i had a doubt about itch.io. How did you have two download buttons for 2 files?
All in all, I rather enjoyed the overall gaming experience, I enjoyed the style of gameplay, the overall aesthetic, and the controls which all combined offer the player a challenging yet rather fun experience.
I however had a few issues during my playthrough such as enemies stuck in walls (which was mentioned in the attached READ ME doc), but I also encountered an issue where a skeleton enemy got stuck right at my power source, and despite me trying to kill it, my bullets passed through it, all whilst it continued to attack and destroy my power source- this issue however only occurred once in my many playthroughs of the game so it’s not completely a game breaking issue for me. The other issue I had was the upgrades, when a round was complete it would tell you there are upgrades available and such, but sometimes when you opened the menu you couldn’t afford them.
For that reason I felt it would be best for a system where the upgrade will flash green or something as a way for the player to know they can both afford an upgrade and without being a downer for the player thinking they have an upgrade but simply can’t access them yet.
Overall I had a really fun experience with this game, I enjoyed the overall flow and challenging (but still fun) gameplay and I would definitely recommend others to check it out for themselves and whilst I mentioned the odd one or two negatives (not really negatives but that’s really the only way to define them) these weren’t game breaking issues (except for the ‘being stuck by the power source’ one) and, with time, these other issues (both in terms of features and UI design) would be fully resolved to further expand the challenging yet fun gameplay of Power Source.
Little addendum to all that I have said, I had a blast playing this game and felt it was a challenging fun experience and had an overall cool arcade/Atari style of gameplay to the whole thing 😊 fantastic work and I can’t wait to see where this goes from here. Also I really love the power source effect as well, really blends in with the surrounding backdrop and art style of the game.
@fraserrees Thank you very much for playing the game and giving such detailed feedback, really glad to hear you enjoyed the game overall! I’ll definitely work on amending the game based on your feedback, especially the bullets going through enemies which would definitely impact the experience
Neat game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/fsg5gDaiyQc
