I liked the game, the animations are simple yet polished, i liked the wave effect to show that things are changing. If you decide to work on the game in the future i would reccomend adding text indicating things like what gun it changed to. And my first playthrough i couldnt understand the life bar (circle) and thought that was an indicator of how unstable the game was. other than that the game is pretty fun :)
The weapon-switching mechanic was interesting, but I feel like there wasn't much to the game besides that. And I don't see how it connected to the theme.
I enjoyed playing :) Had a good sense of urgency from the start, gets into the game quick which is good. The camera could be a bit more centred around the mouse compared to the player to see where you are aiming better. But the overall flow of the game was understandable and easy enough to pick up.
Nice game! I also interpreted the theme as you are unstable, so nice to see like minded people! I think I won it? No enemies were spawning any more.
@c0nt Thanks for your feedback. The weapon-switching mechanic was conceived as "unstable weapon", so the player is forced to switch the guns (actually, it should be one "unstable" gun, which "transforms" into other forms with every "wave of instability").
@david-price Thank you :) We want to continue our work on this game and add a lot of new features, like player's different shapes, which change the gameplay (e.g. slime - has smaller hitbox, but slow) or useful obstacles forms (instability decreaser and "instability waves" freezer).
@jose-adame Thank you for your comments, I'll fix that :) Glad you enjoyed the game.
@chesiq Glad you liked the game. Actually, you found a new feature (let's call bugs like this ^_^), thank you!
This is actually quite a fun game. I really like the idea behind it! The fact that you don't know what's going to happen next is really fun! It can get pretty hectic after some point but I actually quite like that!
I think the main goal was to survive but once I ran to edge of the map it was EZ
I'll be honest, the concept is good and can make up for a fun top down shooter game around the idea of gameplay randomly changing. But as it currently stands there's a number of issues with it. The circle in the upper left corner being life was all but intuitive and I only understood it after reading the comments, there also lacks some feedbacks like hitting sounds (the particle splitting effect is too slight), hitboxes didn't feel good (for example bullets goes through the enemies' head), some obstacles block you (boxes) while others don't (trees or rocks) with nothing indicating you that in hindsight, etc... Also, the best score feature didn't work and was stuck to 0 even after doing several runs.
@vladadamm Thanks for your feedback! I'll improve all the things you said. I don't know how I missed this simple bug, but I've already fixed it.
Nice little polished game, I just find that enemy projectiles are way too fast and that maybe making them slower will make the player dodge them, adding some gameplay, will make it look more like a space shooter with free movement.
I like your concept and art.
Nice game. Cool music too. I wish that there was more, like different types of enemies. I also was a bit confused what is my healthbar and sometimes the effect on the gun was not obvious (some in-game info about that would have been nice). Besides that, good job.
