Fun! I didn't find myself using the gun much, I think because I'm already stationary and I can't see the enemies until they're already very close to me. However, that also might just be a consequence of my playstyle.
Great Graphics and idea!
I like this. Fun gameplay and great graphics. I agree with United Studios that I didn't use the gun much. The axe is much more effective and you can stick in front incoming enemies and kill them as soon as they touch. I wonder how the game would be if the axe only did damage if it was moving?
@wrimo Thanks for the feedback! I think that could definitely encourage the player to use the gun more. If I update the game after the jam, I'll try that out.
@hypercubegames Thank you!
@untitled-studios Thanks for playing the game! I guess I had neglected the gun during playtesting. Maybe a faster fire rate or more damage would have made it a more viable option.
The slashing was not used most of the time, I just waited for the balls to hit the axe. Overall I think the game was fun, could be a really fun mobile game.
Fun game :D, the music goes well with the game. The only problem is that the gun feels very under powered compared to the axe.
@Rost That was originally the plan, but trying to port the game to mobile in 3 days would have been extremely difficult. I'll try that after the jam though!
@unevilicorn Glad you enjoyed it! I agree, the gun is quite underpowered and the axe is much more useful. I'll see if there is a way I can balance that out in the future.
Very fun, good job!
Cool game, we can have some fun in it, great sound effects and the visuals too, maybe shoot faster could be good
@mark-kelly Thank you!
@victor-vk I agree, the gun was a little on the slow side which made it feel a little annoying to use. I'll keep that in mind for next time!
Lots of potential, I honestly like the "trails" they are very pleasing to the eye. I won't say it matches perfectly with the rest of the graphic style, but it's still nice. I do find that I wish there was more to the game play however. Also I did not use the gun as I did not find a need for it, Slashing for the win.
@squareworx-studio Thanks for playing the game! I feel like if I had more time I would have updated the graphics of the game to match everything else (UI, particles and trails), but by the time all of that was added it was too late. As for the gameplay, I wasn't able to think of much that would benefit the player other than maybe an upgrade to the gun, but at the time I thought a 1 hit kill would stop people from using the axe. Thank you for the feedback!
This was good! I didn't wind up using the gun, the blade felt easier, some debuffs the enemies could apply might make the gun more feasible than the blade? Had a lot of fun with this one <3
I enjoyed this! You chose an art style that worked very well for this style game. I really appreciated that you could destroy enemies by both hitting them with bullets and/or touching them, allowed for a changing playstyle depending on how a run was going. :smile:
I actually had a similar idea while brainstorming, but you nailed the execution really well in all aspects. Having melee on the "cannon" is a nice addition.
I just love this music. Gameplay is also very fun, trying to find the rhythm of the incoming enemies.
@rodgems Thank you! That's actually a really interesting idea, I'll try it out after the jam!
@doctormozart Glad you had fun!
@digitalcrest Thanks!
@steamdr4gon Thank you! Credit to the artist, Abstraction. I didn't have enough time to make the music myself for this jam, but this worked a million times better.
I loved the game, I figured out you can just spin the thing with the mouse super fast and get insane highscores.
@codehacher123 Thanks! I tried doing that while playing the game, but I always missed two or three enemies whenever I did.
Nice simple game, would have been awesome if you added sfx
I liked it! Simple and well done!
Having both a weak projectile and a stronger but more dangerous physical slash was an interesting idea! I'm not sure that the two were balanced with one another, though. I ended up basically slashing everything, but maybe that was the point - It let me set my own level of difficulty, and meant that I was always in a much riskier/faster-paced situation when I wanted to be! :)
I love the chiptune soundtrack that you picked for the title screen, even if it was not composed for the jam! :) It sets a fun, high-energy mood right off the bat, which is great!
@anasmations Thank you! I tried to add sound effects, but I wasn't able to find a program that had the right feel for the game. Bfxr was a little to crisp and retro, but it might have still worked. Thanks for the feedback!
@los Thanks!
@koolruz Thank you! I could have spent more time trying to balance the attacks, which in hindsight would have been the smart thing to do, but I ended up focusing more on the art. The style went through a lot of stages, and it was originally meant to be a medieval game where you are defending your castle from waves of attackers. Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep it in mind for the next jam!
Simple concept and nice execution. The game was very polished and easy to understand. Nice entry overall. :)
@tverdo Thanks!
