I have a problem with the resolution of the game, in full screen the size is not adapt to my desktop resolution. day666.png Try to change that or propose a window screen mode and add sound for shoot and destroy ennemy. I can just play in a part of the screen like you see on the screenshoot. I like the graphics and it is a fun shooting racing game. The effect of the road is nice too. That's perfect to relax after work on ludum dare ! Good job !

Pretty fun although I did find the very warm color pallet started to feel a little muddy after a while (worth noting this problem is exacerbated as I am using fLux which adds a orange tint to my screen for reducing eye strain at night)

Nicely done! Shooting lots of bullets feels good. Not been able to move up or down makes the movement very limited and sometimes it feels that you just have to take a hit.

Great gameplay, a little scary.

tennotako 2020-10-06 15:04

reallly cool game ! art is lovely and music is on point ! it's really hardcore tho >< made it to the crab guy after few tries. I miss a high score system and I feel like the hit box and the car could have been smaller ^^" well done, keep it up!

I really liked having health bars on the enemies. I gave this a 5/5 for fun-- thought difficulty was appropriate, I beat the eye monster the first time through. great job, hail satan

Very fun game! I had a good mood after playing this!

hengen 2020-10-07 09:29

An interesting new take on an old classic!

bobparis75 2020-10-07 09:29

Very funny ! i like this game.

rschoellgen 2020-10-07 09:35

I also had resolution issues, but I am currently using a 4k display which could be why. Great work on the enemy design and the colors. The projectiles were challenging and I liked how varied the enemies are.

I like it a lot! The twist of the road make the game very enjoyable, cause I don't like ship games because of their aesthetics, so this is perfect for me! :D

eugenik 2020-10-07 10:59

Great work guys this is a lot of fun!

andidebob 2020-10-07 12:24

Quite a fun shoot em up, the graphics are nice and the music is a banger. Really well done!

corrupt-spaghetti 2020-10-09 03:20

Fun game. The resolution is a little too zoomed in, but it was still fun to play

kamuniaft 2020-10-09 04:33

Cool game. Music puts you in this "demon-slaying" mood, and all this bullets.. playing was fun :) but didn't make through this giant eye thing, it's too powerfull for me)

mar3k 2020-10-10 09:08

Very cool game, had lot more fun than I would expect! The boss fight was as it should be with changing attack and little bit harder to beat, 1 thing I would change there would be a save point right at the boss. Well done.

miklou 2020-10-11 09:02

Simple djent game ! Great work !

joedev 2020-10-11 14:23

"Oh no its a big eye thing idk" hahaha. Funny game, very tough / brutal gameplay but fun and satisfying as well. Love a good bullet hell!

jamison 2020-10-12 01:36

I'm having the same issue as robowarrior1982, except the game is stuck in borderless-window mode and it's not showing the entire game. I have a 1440p monitor with a second 1024x768 monitor.

@robowarrior1982 @rschoellgen @jamison I've uploaded a new (-window) build of the game that should be properly windowed and resizable if necessary.

rushikesh-charapale 2020-10-12 13:02

Wow, really cool! I couldn't play it for long 😅 but I enjoyed it for sure! Please visit my game too and rate it;)https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/the-dumb-robot

Loved the absurdity of the game, the overly metal vibe of the game does it wonders. One little thing, when enemies spawn too high their health bar can be off screen, making it hard to see whats going on. Other than that, great job!

khaotom 2020-10-12 18:09

Nice little shmup. That 80's style hitbox tho :joy_cat: Oh yeah, and that title is awesome.

mekuri 2020-10-12 18:15

Interesting take on this particular genre. I liked the shots, they actually felt really good, and gave a bit more tactic to the game. Was able to hit the 'big eye thing (IDK :P ) during it's massive pew pew downwards phase, which was interesting. Would've loved a few more sound effects. The music was great, but was also the thing that was carrying a lot of the mood. I liked the whole road movement thing, had an awesome retro feel to it, I loved it in the menu, but while in game, it kinda got lost in the background, as I was busy blasting creatures and dodging fireballs.

Good job, and thanks for sharing :-)

oillen 2020-10-13 21:08

It's fun, actually I don't like racing games, so I am glad you actually made a shoot-em-up. I think the hitbox is one of your many adversaries. You found a good soundtrack for your game, it would be nice if there were also sfx, would like to hear the demons moaning when they got mowed from the hellish skies.

Cool concept!

wakobu 2020-10-14 15:32

Fun little game ! I like it ! However, it lacks connection with the theme.

gamescodedogs 2020-10-14 15:44

BRUTAL!

hishighness 2020-10-15 18:37

I felt like breaking my mouse when I got to the end. Nice idea, none the less

Nice game!

jakobthequizguy 2020-10-17 12:58

I gotta give you cred for the difficulty on that second boss, I got really into it and eventually won with only a tiny bit of health left! Good job on this game!

vrerabek 2020-10-18 11:19

What a cool spin on the bullet hell shooter games which usually revolve around spaceship or planes! I had fun, just wish I could restart the boss level and not entire game. Could not get past the Eye, but I bookmarked the game I will get to it later and beat it! :smile:

tiffi 2020-10-18 16:45

This game is really really hard :D, I enjoyed it while i was alive though. Some powerups or vertical controls would have been a good addition

xatulu 2020-10-19 21:45

Damn, o am just not good enough for your game it seems - very tough! But I guess you could expand it nicely!

firetwin 2020-10-20 17:30

I had a ton of fun with your game! This was very well designed, props to you!

The graphics and music all gelled nicely with the satanic theme and got me really pumped up to shoot the evil beasts that lie ahead! I like that you implemented the bullet hell screen scrolling in this new way with the car on the road, seems pretty innovative to me.

The gameplay itself was solid, I mostly felt that getting hit was my own fault (I think the ship should have a slightly smaller collision box), and the amount content you fit in already was pretty baffling to say the least. The different enemy types, the multiple bosses (I didn't quite make it to Satan :( died on the road after crab man), and the whole "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" mechanic made it feel like I was progressing through the game and getting rewarded for my efforts.

The only gripe I had was the lack of sound effects, especially for bullet shots and taking damage, but if you had gotten everything into the game within a few days people might think you were inhuman! ^^

Very well done!
