This is really cool! Reminds me of Super Hexagon a lot. Put some more screenies up on this page, the art looks really nice ;-)

@ryuk47 Thanks :), glad you enjoyed it. We will chuck some screenshots up soon.

WoW! Like your game, it is crazy and psychodelic!

bukkaketears 2020-10-06 11:18

It is literally Super Hexagon, but you are supposed to shoot loops. It is not something bad! Even more, game is even pretty cool. Game should show your score after losing, I got pretty far and wanted to send my score here, but I can't find it. And at some point, gun is shooting too slow to actually protect itself from loops.

Make it into mobile game, it would be great there. :smile:

Edit: Hey, nvm, you can actually upgrade reload time, so I take back part which says something about not being able to shoot fast enough. Also I found "highscores". :smile:

This is actually really fun, defo like super hexagon but still feels unique/different :)

wouter-deferme 2020-10-06 11:22

Wow, that was a lot of fun! Them Super Hexagon-vibes!! Looks, sounds and feels great :smile: . How did you create the music?

At first I thought it was super hexagon, and I tried to shoot at the blue arcs of the loops, then I died multiple times, until I found out that it was the pink part that was sensitive.

Then I all became clear! Played your game for many minutes and it is really enjoyable! The graphics are quite minimalistic but this is not an issue, audio is good and the loop keeps you in a good mood for playing.

Great job!

A welcome change of pace reviewing all of the jam games. You cannot go wrong with arcade-y goodness.

This was incredible. Simple, looks great, easy to play, gets crazy hard. I actually felt STUCK in the loop when the levels got to around 250. I was genuinely stressed, frantically clicking and knowing that 1 miss would cost me my life. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME game dude.

PS: Love the game modes and powerups on top of it all.

Pretty addictive game. Nice colors, and mechanisc. It is a cool concept for a mobile game!

vrarr 2020-10-06 11:36

Well done! A very nice game! Nice work on the music :) I love the menu as well!

fachscahfttf 2020-10-06 12:06

Nice work. Super catchy soundtrack. The levels in combination with the power ups are perfectly balanced. I would love to play the last level unlimited to beat my high score ;) A menu to reduce the sound effect value would be nice, with the shotgun at full speed I couldn't hear the music anymore ^^

revsorg 2020-10-06 13:20

@wouter-deferme @vrarr @fachscahfttf - thank you, I'm happy you like the music. The short answer of how it's made - Ableton Live and Native Instruments. These are the Native Instruments instruments I used: Flesh, Butch Vig Drums, Blocks Primes, Massive X, Rounds, Evolve.

lamasaurus 2020-10-06 16:18

This was so addictive to play! Very simple, but the mechanics really carried the game. Automatic shotgun is clearly the way to go :wink:

dyguests 2020-10-06 16:49

A fun little game that can be used to pass the time.

ansoneh 2020-10-06 16:55

You've done a fantastic job making minimal graphics look really good. Very juicy. Love the music as well! The difficulty also ramps up nicely.

quiny101 2020-10-06 16:59

Very cool and fun!

charlie-hall 2020-10-06 17:27

I loved getting the auto-shotgun and just spinning frantically in a circle. It might be cheating. Really cool game, most time I've spent in a game so far today!

rossmoff 2020-10-06 17:32

Addictive and fun game! Simple graphics and simple sounds but it all fits the game perfectly. Well developed!

darkmax14 2020-10-06 19:38

@bukkaketears glad you liked it and you found the scores. Our recommendation if you're lacking fire rate is the automatic shotgun with a few reload upgrades :D

darkmax14 2020-10-06 19:38

@ventz glad you liked it :) Super hexagon was defo an inspiration

darkmax14 2020-10-06 19:39

@peeweek Glad you liked our game :)

darkmax14 2020-10-06 19:40

@rossmoff thanks! glad you enjoyed it

darkmax14 2020-10-06 19:40

@charlie-hall is it cheating if we put it there? ;)

darkmax14 2020-10-06 19:41

@lamasaurus auto shotgun is very much the way to go :smiley:

arron-fowler 2020-10-07 11:23

Great entry. I really needed that. Would genuinly play this for fun. The tension mounts nicely and gets proper frantic. Only complaint and its minor would be the explosion sound is a bit crunhie and seems a bit delayed. It would feel better is it hit earlier soundwise. Thats all everything else was great

tricky-fat-cat 2020-10-07 19:12

A pretty nice arcade game with decent art and really well-made difficulty curve, well done.

darkmax14 2020-10-08 15:14

@tricky-fat-cat glad you enjoyed our game :)

Pretty awesome game. Polished and addictive. Sound tracks are really good. Sounds effects sound just a bit too simplistic in comparison.
