Nice game! I had fun. How many touches with death do I have?

dustya29 2022-04-03 14:21

@karpovame Thx 4 playing. Player's HP has been set to 20 and each of death' dmg is one.

Nice game! Made fun to play it! Very creative way to use the theme. I realy like the soundeffects when a death appears, or a death hitts us. They sound very good. The background music is also very good!

This is adorable. If Linda was my gf I would fight for her.

Nice little game! I loved that you could use the purple souls/ghost/things to block the reapers. Pretty art style as well.

dustya29 2022-04-05 13:31

@crimsonshade thanks. I got that bgm made by Dark Fantasy Studio from humble bundle.

@mooptychunk Any game with awesome gal is awesome. No exception.

@boclow Thanks. That dark blue whatever thing can be used as a barricade for you or against you. Also, you can push that to sweep the reapers out. To be honest, I didn't specify what's that 'things'. I just draw them like that because the normal block isn't cute enough.

Pretty fun! After a few tries I got a decent strategy going. Felt great to cheat death! I personally saw the barriers as other souls I was sacrificing for my own survival!

Quite fun little game; good use of movable obstacles to slow down the opponents (normally this sort of game is simply a bullet hell style thing)

Had a bit of trouble running it in Brave browser, but Chrome browser worked perfectly fine. Just a heads up there.

Anyway this was weirdly fun! Seemed very simple at first, but the fact you have barricades that can be manipulated made it a MUCH better experience! Definitely would have loved more powerups and a leaderboard, but given the solo development and overall charm of the package, that can certainly be forgiven.

Played it quite a few times. You should be happy with what you put out so quickly.

Nice game! Had fun with it for a bit but it needs more variety to stay interesting imo, like a different type of enemy.

roka-josh 2022-04-18 19:13

Interesting take on the theme and I liked hiding behind the objects until they broke as a little reprise. Good job!

Fun game with simple yet satisfying gameplay. Good submission.

dustya29 2022-04-19 15:19

@kinart @amkingtrp Thx 4 playing. This game is made to use the obstacle and you got the idea pretty fast.

@cyzaine Yes, even I noticed some of the other games made for browser have some troubles and I don't know why exactly. Sorry for inconvenience. And I'll consider adding items or leader board for a post jam version. Thanks for the advice.

@jakobthequizguy Different type of enemy you say? Alright, let's do this!

@roka-josh Awesome, I didn't expect many people would play this game just as I intended. Hope you have a great time.

@jzucc12 Thanks!

40 seconds! Nice :D

Woo! 98 seconds! I laughed harder than I probably should have at Linda's "Meh" in the intro screen. This was adorable. I'm seconding the additional enemy type suggestion. Like a bat reaper that follows more erratically, or just sweeps across the field. Some variety in enemy strategy would have likely kept the longer games a little more interesting. After a while I was just running in circles.

occultone 2022-04-19 16:31

87 Seconds. Good entry. The blocking objects were a good touch to keep me from circle strafing forever.

claytonrumley 2022-04-20 02:36

I made it 84 seconds...fun game...matches the theme. A health meter would have been nice. I also think having something that would break up the endless circling (say a door that randomly appears and teleports you to the opposite corner) would be a fun addition to keep the gameplay interesting. Good effort!

40s haha. Lovely art and fun to play.
