Neat!

salamandur 2022-10-02 04:37

Cool game. Am I supposed to be able to move the mouse while pressing WASD, out of curiosity?

reevest2 2022-10-02 04:41

Thank you! Yes you use the mouse to control direction white bullets spawn.

chris-plummer 2022-10-02 05:42

Super fun

teaffj 2022-10-02 05:48

ba da ba ba ba i'm lovin it!

wendallr 2022-10-02 16:17

Oh I love how you have influence over where the next bullets be!

denvil 2022-10-02 19:50

Nice. Movement could be more smoother. Dying to my own bullet surprised me :)

zoglu 2022-10-02 20:02

Interesting idea, controlling the bullets that will themselves kill you later. Nice little entry ! :smiley:

ralfz 2022-10-02 20:11

Very smooth and clean movement, camera also feels very cool!

dyguests 2022-10-02 20:26

Just understand how to play, is the web version the latest version of the game?

reevest2 2022-10-02 20:32

I just updated it again, my friend told me I should add some art so I learned how to use Paint3d.

Edit: Box colliders are better now. Sprites are added with transparent background now.

kimynay 2022-10-02 21:50

mouse control has an unclear purpose and it could be that the bullet that spawns can be aimed with your bullets to destroy them? to add more interaction. gameplay is fluid, nice job.

mgnta 2022-10-02 22:12

23 is my best score, speed is quite high :) Well done!

guardaro 2022-10-02 22:17

Nice premise! I tried to grab and/or shoot the big bag of money a bunch of times before I figured it out what I was actually supposed to do. Dodging your own bullet ricochets is fun idea.

You may want to take a look at your itch.io settings; part of the game was cropped off when I played it.

fnelix 2022-10-02 22:18

Very nice smooth movement, oddly relaxing. Well done!

reevest2 2022-10-02 22:26

Adjusted the resolution in itch.io to 1200x600. Not sure if that is okay or if it should be 800x600

Also added a gun sprite so it should be more clear there is a gun

deniz-aras 2022-10-02 22:36

Great Idea. Loved how it gets so crazy after few minutes. Only thing that holds this game back is the art but it is a great idea nonetheless.

planetbluto 2022-10-02 22:48

Pretty good concept. Presentation could use some work but the execution of the idea is still pretty fun.

ben-parisi 2022-10-02 22:48

Cool concept. Might be neat to make the bag dispense more money when a bullet hits it. I tried to get to 10 points a bunch of times and couldn't quite make it.

rein 2022-10-02 22:49

Fun little physics game! SFX and graphics were both clean and straightforward. My only issue was it was hard to tell what prompted the money to come out of the bag. At first I thought it was when bullets hit the bag but they seem to just pop out randomly?

reevest2 2022-10-02 22:53

New "money" spawns when once you collect the current one. So there is always another money to collect. I'll have to add something later on to interact with the bag since it seems to be a popular request.

gangrue 2022-10-02 23:08

It isn't loading for me! I hope it's just for me

reevest2 2022-10-02 23:11

Try it on Itch.io, if its not working there then I'll have to look into it.

jcg 2022-10-02 23:16

Fun and straightforward; thank you for the volume slider!

gruff 2022-10-02 23:35

Greta stuff, like the movement and the power up change

scifi6546 2022-10-02 23:40

Cool game, the embeed is not working but the itch.io is. like the controlls but it would be nice to have some kind of visible element that tells me when a bullet is about to be fired

coleb 2022-10-03 00:13

Fun Game. As you get into the later scores it definitely gets hectic

kevin-du 2022-10-03 00:23

18 is my best score now. will try it again tomz after sleep :sleepy: :smile:

castitatis 2022-10-03 01:21

18 is my best score too, it gets almost impossible at the end :D

haydads 2022-10-03 04:19

Interesting Game Not sure how I thematically ended up in this situation, but is a cool bullet hell. It ramps up pretty quickly with all the bullets out there. Nice one

rickylee 2022-10-03 06:28

my score \o/

image_2022-10-03_072729297.png

This is really fun! ^^ reminds me of old miniclip.com games I'd play in class instead of doing work haha. The mechanic is simple but extremely effective, really good work! :)

olivieryc 2022-10-03 06:38

I love the money bag!

sdelay 2022-10-03 10:13

I managed to reach 21! Good work, very simple and fun to play. I don't understand why my bullets should kill me ? And maybe add a 10 sec counter displayed smoewhere?

greenphox 2022-10-03 13:31

nice and simple game I enjoyed it pretty much, my highscore was 23. Well done!

reevest2 2022-10-03 13:48

I usually lose around 18 :laughing: I think my high score was around 24-26 when testing, but now I can't crack 23 highscore.PNG

fifut 2022-10-03 15:30

Super fun to play. Maybe the display of the time remaining before the next shot would be a good additional feature.

Great job :thumbsup:

reevest2 2022-10-03 15:32

I wanted some uncertainty of when it will fire but it seems that most people do not. I'll keep that in mind.

flamus 2022-10-03 15:32

Interesting game! Simple yet satisfying gameplay!

olddog 2022-10-03 15:46

cute simple funny game ,it is get harder and harder with more bullets ,nice job man ,,,although I think mouse button for bullet dir not useful very much ,I feels all bullet are random and hard to controller direction :)

stefan-laimer 2022-10-03 19:45

Really nice game! Managed to get up to 36 after a few tries

nyxkn 2022-10-03 19:50

Cute game but very difficult. The mechanic of having your own character spawn the bullets that will kill you is very unique! Though it is quite annoying when you die by running into a bullet you just shot in the wrong direction :D Solid entry. I thought it would have been nice to have more than one money at a time so as you don't feel like you're chasing the same thing for a long while, and it would add a bit more strategy rather than blindly running into the only cash in sight.

reevest2 2022-10-03 20:31

I wanted to add a difficulty slider so you could control how many bullets are shot, but ran out of time :frowning2:. Gun should probably only shoot one bullet at a time, unless you are revolver ocelot.

xpycm 2022-10-03 21:29

My high score is 20! As I understood new money is spawned as soon as previous was collected. So you need to collect them fast.

bosco 2022-10-04 01:03

Really cool twist on the bullet hell genre, having two bullets spawn at once made for a really nice difficulty curve imo. Simple and satisfying! The physics for the objects was fun too (scored 28)

mbrezu 2022-10-04 04:58

Very nice idea. Talk about shooting oneself in the foot :-)

Some random powerups besides money would be nice (temporary shield, extra life, temporarily stop shooting, temporarily slow down bullets, money multiplier etc.).

At times it felt like the bullets were chasing me :-D

henrik-ganard 2022-10-04 05:46

A game that starts out simple, and remains simple and that´s what I love about it. You get the hang of the rules in one go and then work on getting a larger high score. Nicely done. My constructive feedback is to change the default background to something else, maybe an image or latest another color. Overall a very good game.

pixelydian 2022-10-05 00:51

Good application of the theme! Effective difficulty curve, starts out simple but gets hectic. Great sound effects. Some suggestions - a death animation would have been cool, like even a couple of simple circles increasing in radius can do a lot. Also I was hoping that shooting the money bag would make it explode with money! BUT compo is brutal and I'm sure you had lots of stuff you wanted to get in there and didn't have time for. Good job!

rob6566 2022-10-05 02:35

Awesome game - I really enjoyed that. I liked the elegant way the difficulty increased. Nice audio. The randomness in the ricochets off walls and money was good, preventing you setting up bullets in stable patterns. Nice work!

boodbarbak 2022-10-06 07:01

Simple but effective idea. Well realized. Controls are intuitive. Could be the core idea of a bigger game with levels of different shapes, bonuses, using money to buy upgrades... Cool micro game :)

serxiolas 2022-10-06 20:42

Nice game! Fun to play, maybe the aiming feature is not too necessary! I had a nice time playing it!
