Cool game! Very unusual angle, very interesting to play! Great job!

triangletriangle 2022-10-04 13:57

Good work dude! Shooting felt satisfying and the bullets look good. I guess the only thing would be to have more variety to keep the interest, but that's jams for you. What you have works well!

Neat little wave shooter, gameplay feels really solid.

ramelio 2022-10-04 14:10

Cool take on the theme. I like how you can choose to pick up your upgrades at the right time to get an efficient weapon cycle.

I'm not a fan of this type of game but this one's fun, I like the stretegic elements! And nice visual style too.

theheheo 2022-10-04 18:47

@triangletriangle thanks! Yeah I agree, would definitely have added more enemy variations if I had time, feels like time moves faster during jams.

theheheo 2022-10-04 18:49

@jackaljk @matt-ravenhall @faust-mi @ramelio thanks a lot, appreciate it !

tharky 2022-10-04 22:28

I enjoyed it! It was a cool wave shooter game. I loved how you implemented the theme with a nice style :) Nice job!

likurio 2022-10-05 09:03

Very nice game

jejkobb 2022-10-05 09:07

I see we had very similar ideas for our games haha! I love the idea of getting more and more weapons and each of them firing off at the end of a timer. Thats very cool. I love the sound effects and the gameplay felt really nice. Great game well done!

lorwon 2022-10-05 09:10

Nice game ! What I liked: - The gameplay with all the different weapons ! - The way you used the theme.

Improvements: - Sometimes the weapons are hard to find when they are not within the camera range. Maybe adding somthing that show where the weapons are ?

Good job !

rendow 2022-10-05 16:41

The shooting and the special weapons feel very satisfying. I also like the choice of using 3D for a survivor-like game. Well done!

theheheo 2022-10-05 17:02

@lorwon thanks :D! By weapons do you mean the boxes/pickups? Yeah I agree it would have been good to have an indicator for where they spawned.

theheheo 2022-10-05 17:04

@tharky @Rendow @LikuRio @Jejkobb thanks! Glad you enjoyed it !! :D

sk-katea 2022-10-05 18:40

I loved it, especially the fact that you implemented the theme in such a original way

chillertyp 2022-10-05 18:41

The fifth game of this kind I see in this jam...

w4yn3r 2022-10-05 18:43

Very cool game, really like the precursor for the different abilitys. This makes targeting really intuitiv! Cool Idea and nice entry!

bugbyte14 2022-10-05 20:01

Really fun game, it's so satisfying when you get the shotgun and just take out so many enemies at once. Great job!

kuggenhoffen 2022-10-05 20:25

Pretty satisfying little game. Good job!

bangkerpow 2022-10-05 21:00

Solid controls and a solid little game. The cooldown mechanic was a fun take on the theme.

alex-de-la-cour 2022-10-05 21:43

An enjoyable game - the controls and shooting felt very smooth and well implemented, and clearing out chunks of enemies with the skills felt really satisfying.

abdonatioera 2022-10-06 01:44

A fun game. The shotgun and laser feel very nice. I liked the camera perspective of the game too.

lvl99chicken 2022-10-06 04:11

I got sucked into this game haha. I like the visuals and the feedback is solid, gun feels fun to shoot and satifying fighting enemies. Powerups were fun too. Great job!

brunozisman 2022-10-06 05:16

Okay, so i ended up playing more than i should've... Very easy to understand and challenging at the same time. Great job!

resacagames 2022-10-06 14:21

I find the theme use was great, I loved this out of sync special attacks piling up, I was devastated when powerups stopped appearing after 3. How dare you take the chance of being op away from me? Overall 10/10 if powerups are infinite.

saintchristopher777 2022-10-06 17:33

Very cool; addictive little game! I know it wasn't _meant_ to be a "Vampire Survivors -like," but it has the beginnings of that vibe.

theheheo 2022-10-06 18:23

@resacaGames thanks! yeah you might be on to something there about not stopping at just 3 special attacks.

theheheo 2022-10-06 18:33

@brunozisman @Lvl99Chicken @Abdonatioera @alex-de-la-cour @BangKerpow @kuggenhoffen @BugByte14 @W4YN3R @sk-katea thanks for the feedback! really appreciate it :D

theheheo 2022-10-06 18:41

@saintchristopher777 thanks! yeah didn't really realize it was a Vampire Survivors-like until my friend pointed it out haha, I am definitely gonna try that game!

justaroom 2022-10-06 20:31

Love the concept of each ability being on 10s cooldowns, very fun and made me strategize.

theheheo 2022-10-06 20:32

@cookiera damn thats probably the best score I've seen so far! really want to make an online scoreboard now

theheheo 2022-10-06 20:33

@justaroom thanks!

kimau 2022-10-07 10:36

Would like a faster build up but it was fun and immeditaly grokable

The different weapons bring variety and a fun gameplay to the game. Pretty fun one.

fabula-rasa 2022-10-09 18:44

This is quite fun! The special abilities are distinct and really make the game fun. Some energetic music would be great.

One thing that kinda confused me is that you say in the description that I can choose which abilities to use - I'm not sure how to do that. For me, the abilities just activated automatically some time after they finished their 10-second cooldown. I saw no way to chose anything. What did I miss?

infestedrabbit 2022-10-09 19:58

its fun want more guns and right click pleae :)

theheheo 2022-10-09 21:02

@fabula_rasa thanks for playing and for the feedback! yeah I should have made it clearer that you can press Q to open up an action/ability menu to respec what abilities to use. I currently only have controls in the itch page.

f1krazy 2022-10-10 10:07

This is a nice little game! Trying to position and time yourself to make the most of your cyber-abilities adds a nice level of strategy to the game. I agree with the other reviews in that it would have been nice to see more variation in terms of abilities and enemy types, but I understand the constraints of jams. It's also a bit disappointing that you can only take one hit before getting a game over, but it does add to the challenge considerably.

goddoesplaydice 2022-10-11 21:00

Cool use of the theme, our team thought about it too
