hard and cool :)

@muhsen-g Thank you so much, It's my first game and my first game jam ever

Good first effort. Nice variation on flappy bird, does need some instructions for stupid people like me. Well done.

Nice game ! It's also my first Jam and Game, so it's nice you could finish your game in time ! Also, I had a little blue cross (a sprite I suppose) in the middle of the screen just before the main menu and in the last Image when you reach 50 point, you might want to look that up =) )

At the beginning I thought something was wrong but after a few head banging I understood what I have to do ))

Its hard! even if i'm in easy mode. Cool game though.

As others said, it was quite diffcoult to understand how the controls worked. Also it took me a while to understand that you got multiple lives that kept the precedent score. Getting to 50 points in easy mode was really hard, but writing that the target was 50 helped me to keep the focus, nice work on that! Also i really liked the feel of the level.

Thanks for the comments guys, it's really help me!

So much effort :D I really like A-bot, he is so cute!

P.S. aren't you that guy who made 3d model of tank?

drkfir 2020-04-22 15:12

@aret24 Thank you, no it's not me that made the 3d model of tank :D

This game is cool! I enjoyed the graphics and the good gameplay. It was fun! Improvements: make the easy mode easier, slightly tighter controls (only need a bit of tweaking). Good effort and quite a good game, well done!

Capture.PNG Really fun game! Good entry, especially for a first jam! And I read the directions and took a screenshot since I got to 50 points :D

Loved the art style and music, but god damn, even on Easy the game is so freakin' hard. Great game, good job.

Nice game! :D Just some small notes: maybe add a restart button we you restart with 0 points and 3 lives, now if I got a bad score I need to return to main menu (watch the opening scene) and click the play button. Also in the main menu the difficulty is black text on a gray background (very hard to see). Lastly the clock on the top left hand corner has a white background, which doesn't look so good. Try to make it transparent :)

Capture.PNG Well executed game but I don't really like rage games and I played to see the end of the game and I was pretty disappointed. Overall it's a good game.

Hey not bad for a first game! I found it far too hard, but it kept me interested for a while. I didn't really get what the idea behind everything was and why the guy was floating/flying, so I guess it would be good to develop the theme and graphics more for next time. Cheers.

drkfir 2020-04-24 13:44

@martiansteve When the jam ended I thought about making my own graphics and I am working on it right now!

firellon 2020-04-24 16:42

Hey, nice little game and simple yet appealing idea, albeit quite hard.

The controls feel a bit unfair in comparison to Flappy Bird, so when it hits you, it's often feeling because your alien can not fly away when you want him to, not because of your own mistake. That could be a good ground for improvements :)

echo-team 2020-04-24 20:20

Lol nice, reverse flappy bird. This is kind of a trip, avoiding platforms by floating? XD

cjblobby 2020-04-24 22:04

Cool game with great music. Easy mode is ridiculously hard, and the gravity is crazily strong, but it's really fun.

hagge 2020-04-28 08:58

Improvements:

The menu and the UI is very unclear and could use a rework. Make the text align instead of putting it all over the place (it looks like a mess). I did not really understand the "lose one health but live 5 sec" thing.

The gravity is crazy strong and the downward button is almost useless)

The graphics is a bit unclear of in the level (I thought you could stand on stuff)

If you could clarify the way the heart system work it would help a lot. It took me many minutes before I realised I could respawn with the same points.

Thumbs up:

Pretty fun and adicting

The music is good

A good entry for your first jam! Good luck in the future and I would recommend using screenshots in your game bio.

drkfir 2020-04-28 11:07

@hagge Thanks a lot I will take this list serious and it's really helpful

fabighindaru 2020-05-12 17:36

Great job man! The game was very fun! If you expend on this you could have very cool mobile game! ^^
