Awesome game! So much game juice, fast paced, and a lotta fun

I haven't seen anyone pull of destroyable terrain in Gdevelop and make it so satisfying before, very well done

@sulfur-cretin hey thanks! yeah destructable terrain can cause great lag, i think it did it very well here

I enjoyed playing this game. My only gripe about it would be that when it switched back to a scene I had already been to during my play through, it didn't remember where I last left off, so I had to re-start from the beginning of the scene. It would have been nice to make more progress instead and get to see more of that scene. Otherwise, I was impressed by the sheer number of different scenes -- I don't even think I got to see all of them. I especially loved that the different environments had different gravity levels, so sometimes I would get to jump higher than in other environments. And as always, it's fun to be able to destroy the environment.

fast paced and disorienting, fun!

Nice game, it reminds me of one of the ideas we had for this jam :D Thumbs up for the destroyable environment, that's not common to see in jam games. A couple of things that could be improved: projectiles are not always very visible, and starting a scene in the same location as the one that ended (which could be close to the left edge) might make you die very quickly, especially if you happen to be in a scene with non flat terrain (this could be solved by simply making the player always start in the middle of the screen when loading a new scene). Other than this, good job man!

Love the destroyable environment, nice game overall

Very well done for a solo project, it looks and feels like a fairly complete game!

Surprisingly fun and enticing. The graphics are nostalgic in a very nice way, they remind me of early flash games.

The enemy bullets could definitely do with a bit more visibility, as I sometimes got hit without noticing, but otherwise everything worked well. I really enjoyed the gameplay loop and the destructible terrain added a lot of fun and strategy.

Being thrown into a different scene every 10 seconds instead of simply changing weapons or something similar was also a great choice, as the last few second were always the most intense, and getting reset always gave a little bit of breathing room.

The online leaderboard was a great addition, and made me try a lot more times than I probably would've otherwise, fueled by the drive to beat others :). Alas I could not.

Overall, the most fun game I've played so far in this jam. Good work!

The weapon variation was a nice way to spice up the levels, and the breakable environment was a fun touch! I had a hard time dodging the [!] obstacles but overall was still a fair challenge!

Saw it played on stream and had to give it a go, I love score attack games and this game felt very nostalgic for me. When I am less tired I will go for your highscore @skvader-418 :smile:

I liked the graphics and the audio, they are cohesive and easy to "read" so you can react quickly. Great job!

This was a really fun game (that I was quite bad at)! Solid work developing it, and the white noise transition between levels worked really well. With a few more environments/weapons for variety, this could be a great full arcade game, excellent job!

I was 2nd place at one point I think xD I played a lil bit more and found out you can speed ahead of the camera and fall out of level but that turned out to not be a valid strat lmao TankersNightmare.png

skvader-418 2022-10-16 17:22

@itsboats the main strat is to get good :sunglasses:
