Very fun and the sounds are on point!

maxmitchell 2020-10-06 04:32

Fun game and a cool idea! I liked the challenge of having to rotate my guns to shoot enemies. Great job!

sergei201613 2020-10-06 04:35

Hi! Great work, I was interested in playing, but I would like a little more bounce and maybe a more difficult level and more.

coryru 2020-10-06 04:36

Cool game right here. There is something about the triangle ships with an eye in it that creeps me out. I like it!

vem 2020-10-06 08:04

@gurrg @maxmitchell @sergei201613 @coryru Thanks for the kind words and feedback!

All those things are definitely on the to-do list if we decide to put more time into it, @sergei201613. Don't you worry! :smile:

I like it, very polished ! Is there a way to destroy the back ball ? Great job anyway :)

vem 2020-10-06 12:04

Yes, @dotsquare you can destroy them. They have more health than the regular enemies, but will take damage from a direct hit. You need two hits to destroy them.

Watch out though, they bounce! :P

snazghoul 2020-10-06 12:06

@dotsquare the black ball 'Bouncer' enemies take 2 hits to kill, we didn't put in any indicator of damage unfortunately, just one of those small touches we didn't get around to

geryon-games 2020-10-06 13:57

Very cool game! The bounciness of the bullets is a great touch. Those eldritch horrors really are unsettling. Great work!

heho 2020-10-06 14:04

Fun little game. Interesting twist on the theme.

dotsquare 2020-10-06 14:26

Ok I see, thanks for the answer ;)

loku 2020-10-06 15:24

Had a good time playing it, I liked the "industrial" sound, and literal take on the theme that turned out quite satisfying.

kevin-meissner 2020-10-06 15:28

Was fun to play :-)

steffo 2020-10-06 15:39

Pretty good, and nice particle effects :)

I enjoyed a lot more killing the metal-balls than the eye-triangle enemies, as they added the complexity of making sure they went in a direction you were able to shoot them again!

steffo 2020-10-06 15:40

You might want to check your github link, as it leads to a non-existing repository.

fractal-flower-girl 2020-10-06 16:19

I really like this game! It's really fun, but sometimes it wouldn't shoot when I clicked. I really like the audio, it goes with the game well. Great job!

robowarrior1982 2020-10-06 16:26

This mix with defender, a top down shooter, and pong work fine. I like the graphics and the ambiant of this entry. And the idea is good for an arcade/scoring game. Good work !

vphyre 2020-10-06 16:53

I liked the mechanics. Very interesting the proposal of the game. Congratulations.

gonzalol 2020-10-06 17:03

Original and fun game. Maybe it could be a little smoother on the controls

firegamer3 2020-10-06 22:22

its pretty fun, no music though

eugenik 2020-10-07 04:34

Great work! I had a blast playing this!

snazghoul 2020-10-07 09:08

@fractal-flower-girl There's a long cooldown for firing the cannons, some sort of charge up indicator was something we wanted to include but ran out of time sadly.

snazghoul 2020-10-07 09:12

@steffo thanks for pointing that out, link should be fixed now

erukolindo 2020-10-07 12:20

Good, well executed idea. Could of course use some improvements - maybe some upgrade system and more enemies - but is' already solid.

xsoodx 2020-10-07 19:01

Could be more fast paced. Good idea. Well done.

fachscahfttf 2020-10-07 19:04

Funny game. Gets hard pretty fast. Loved the ide of circling around with the guns. Some spiced up music would have made it even better :)

lamonfly 2020-10-07 19:06

Really like the looks, effects and sounds. Overall, polished and fun game. It does feel a bit pointless to rotate as you can already aim the shots with the mouse and just play without rotating.

akai-pixels 2020-10-07 19:24

Nice game! gameplay was fun, simple to understand and addictive, I wish could fire more balls tho. Well done!

chocolat-endive 2020-10-07 19:39

It's simple but it works well! I think that with a few thing added, you could make a cool little game: - More different ennemies - Some kind of upgrade for the stations - A better scoring system (some kind of malus when you shoot nothing, etc) - A soundtrack - Some "quality of life" ameliorations (sound cues for the ennemies that take two hits, "cooldown bar" for the cannon, etc)

The concept works really well, and is well executed: i did'nt experience any kind of bug or glitch. Good job on this one!

gregoryblomquist 2020-10-08 05:06

Really enjoyed the arcade-style shooter and I always love cosmic horror themes! Solid replayability too. Great job!

vem 2020-10-08 08:15

Thanks for the feedback everyone! A lot of this is definitely stuff to work on,

@lamonfly I personally find that I can't get much highher than 200 points if I don't move the canons at all :stuck_out_tongue:.

Moving canons effectively lets you move your shot faster, angle your shot better and lets you move around wall segments to either save your life or save a segment.

viktya 2020-10-08 09:09

I really like the rotation and the mechanics are simple! Also the dying sound of the triangle guys is awesome lol

rhewid 2020-10-09 17:55

Nice game right there. Easy to grasp and fun. screenshot13.png

alchemic 2020-10-15 05:01

Nice game! Simple idea, but done well.

I felt like the difficulty curve was a bit weird. It was really easy for a long time, but then it suddenly became quite difficult.

Good work!

pedrocoden 2020-10-24 15:47

Nice game!
