I liked this game. I'm awful at it though hahaha. What's the music you used?

miracl 2020-04-21 01:24

Hey, thank you @samelgamedev , I did it myself

itsandyjones 2020-04-21 12:27

This was really fun - but I sucked at it!

I think I struggled with the speed of the cursor, kept having to pick my mouse up in order to have enough space to keep playing.

I loved the cutscene at the start, made me chuckle out loud and the art and music are great! Excellent variety of attacks, I'm sure some that I'll never see because as previously stated I sucked at it!

Overall the game was really nice! A great entry - thanks!

miracl 2020-04-21 12:54

@itsandyjones Aha, I see you have, like me, a fine sense of humor ! Thanks for playing !

Le jeu est ouf ! GG dood ! (Ta musique claque un max!)

paullyaudet 2020-04-21 14:15

Juste niquel, @miracl fleme de te copier coller les retours que je t'ais fait en mp, tu les transmettra à ton frère pour moi :)

mathis-bressaud 2020-04-21 14:28

Le jeu est incroyable. J'aimerais faire des retours un peu plus constructifs mais la seule critique que je peux faire c'est que la position des vies supplémentaires (après avoir pris le bonus) me semble un peu trop aléatoire. Sinon l'idée, le gameplay, le visuel, le son, tout est génial.

Really cool game! The music matched the theme very well! I am a huge fan of the simple graphics!

hystaf 2020-04-21 19:55

Ba voila c'est trop cool. Simple mais efficace. J'adore. J'ai juste du mal avec ma souris et le leader board bug parfois sur l'affichage. Mais rien à redire je trouve. Bien joué à vous !

Nice Game, guys, once I get how to use bonus lifes cursors ^^. And really good idea by the way. And good difficulty pace, with waves of hard part then more calm ones.

fadrikalexander 2020-04-23 07:42

Super Nice Game I really enjoyed it.

I have a question about the leaderboard system I would like to know how did you implement it and what service are you using. thanks in adavnce contact me on Discord: FadrikAlexander#4323

thebaecun 2020-04-23 13:02

Really really really really cool. The initial cutscene is hilarious and the leaderboards were a nice touch. I kinda suck at it (using my laptop's track pad certainly didn't help), but I'm totally coming back to this and conquering those leaderboards

miracl 2020-04-23 13:40

@qfrct Thank you ! Glad you noticed it !

@fadrikalexander Thank you for playing ! I answered your question on discord

@thebaecun Nice to hear ! No wonder why it was so difficult haha !

2020-04-23 13:59

Hey really liked the game! sound design is awesome but i think the mouse needs to be able to move a little bit more freely, felt clunky sometimes. Nice game overall!

sadsmile 2020-04-23 14:11

Very fun game!

miracl 2020-04-23 14:31

@jesselago thank you for your feedback, the issue I had when the mouse could move more freely was that it was hard to keep up with it's position due to the frame rate limitation, maybe I should have done it anyway

shadow30 2020-04-23 17:14

This game is addictive! Great job the patterns were cool and well announced! Great bullet hell game!

miracl 2020-04-23 17:21

@shadow30 Tank you and congats for your 5th place !

emre-tahtali 2020-04-23 22:35

very clever idea and very fun gameplay, i am sure even if you don't add anything into this game, a company would be happy to publish this game :D

sklaiser 2020-04-24 00:52

Nice mood, very fun :D

abyss 2020-04-24 01:41

I loved the clean aesthetic over a unique bullet hell. Not sure if that scoreboard is updated live across all players, but if so, I scored 7th which I'm proud of haha. I think it's an interesting tradeoff to consider whether you want to multiply the cursor, or to focus all your attention on a single one, and eventually I found that multiplying is usually worth it~

(Quicksand is one of my favorite fonts, you guys have good taste! :wink: )

miracl 2020-04-24 09:42

@emre-tahtali Thank you, it means so much to me ! @sklaiser Thank you for playing ! @abyss Indeed your 7th place, well done ! And thank you for your feedback !

god-colo 2020-04-25 06:46

This is a really great game ! I really loved the concept ! The visuals and the music is awesome! I clearly see myself playing this for a long time! :smile: Greato Jobu! :smile:

pattedecanaard 2020-04-25 12:56

Very solid entry ! The game is so fun and the game mechanic works very well. It's very nice to have a scoreboard and i appreciate the music and all the sound effects. Bravo, amazing job!

miracl 2020-04-25 14:56

@god-colo Thanko you so muchu !

@pattedecanaard Very glad you liked it, thank you !

florianb 2020-04-25 22:17

Really awesome game. That's really the kind of game I wish I imagined :sweat_smile: My favorite game in this jam :ok_hand:

You could really add some more content and put it on Steam!

miracl 2020-04-25 22:48

@florianb It means so much to me thank you !

Problem is I kinda rushed the code architecture and should better rebuild the game from scratch if I was to put more content, but this kind of feedback motivate me a lot to continue what I'm doing !

miracl 2020-04-25 22:48

@florianb I just saw you are 4th place ! GG !

naca 2020-05-01 16:20

This game is so well made. Everything fits perfectly and is cleverly balanced. Motion, shape and color seem to dance together. Congratulations!

Tons of fun with this one, I even climbed up to 4th! :star2: I wonder for how long :laughing:

euler-moises 2020-05-01 21:02

I found the original idea very functional. The game is very difficult, but very fun! Music helps in the mood which is a mixture of tension and fun. I just thought that the mouse moves very fast. This makes losing control very easy.

Congratulations for the game!

alexander-wayne 2020-05-02 22:03

Hi, as it turns out, the two of us had a pretty similar idea! xD

I really liked the patterns that enemies made, great job there! I enjoyed playing the game, even though it's really hard and I died after getting like 12 cursors, and didn't really manage to beat that score.

miracl 2020-05-02 22:31

@alexander-wayne I'm curious about your game, will check it out when I have time.

Thank you for playing !

ludipe 2020-05-05 17:01

Solid and very fun. Filled with elegant design decisions. Good job!

If this was to be a bigger game after the jam, it'd be great to have some mechanical twists besides being able to control multiple cursors.

miracl 2020-05-05 20:03

@ludipe I totally agree, there is room for different kind of power up, and even different kind of cursor (for example the hourglass or the zoom). Have no idea what they could do though

Thanks for playing !

fabula-rasa 2020-05-08 14:48

This is more engaging than I initially thought! I found myself restarting and doing the "just one more try" thing :smile: I really liked the slightly psychedelic feel to the graphic design. Show how much you can achieve with just practically basic shapes.

Music went extremely well with the graphics and everything created this energized, hectic feeling. I totally sucked at this game but I liked it!

Great fun, great job.
