Solid twin-stick shooter. The graphics and music added a nice sinister vibe to the whole game.
.
The WebGL version should be up now on itch.io, didn't want to run if natively hosted on ldjam. Sorry about that.
Shoot The Messenger = Instant Click! I enjoyed the variation in the enemies, fun game that works!
You're friend did a good job on the music. The vibe was pretty cool, the game could definitely use more polish. And some enemies are too fast, so they keep ramming into me.
@alanxoc3 The ramming and speed are intentional! I didn't have the time to add all the enemies I wanted, so I made a variation on the slower orcs that was way faster but easier to kill. That added a little bit of variety and also an actual chance to mess up and die if you're careless and/or didn't instantly figure out how you should play the game. If you just perma-shoot in a forward direction as well as move back when you see enemies, its still incredibly easy to beat it without taking any damage. Was it too hard or unintuitive as a new player, and you died a lot? Or what was your issue with it.
i enjoyed the gameplay
Meh.
SKELLY NOO i loved the text in the end!! it made the game feel very different in retrospect. i hope skelly can deliver their mail regardless all of these people who are scared of them :( i loved the music and the fast enemies! they kept me on my toes!
A little too easy for me but still a solid entry and the added story element at the end made it unique
Solid and slick. Some audio feedback would've been great.
I agree that some sound effects would be welcome... also, my autoclick mouse made the game really easy (yeah I know it's cheating). But outside of that, the game is cool !
What a banger soundtrack accompanied by a solid twin stick shooter ^^ Nicely done!
The music is really, really good!
needed some text in the beginning to understand the concept!
So... you just gave him the letter to fit the theme?)) Anyway, it can be played and fun is there, when you hold the mouse button to attack 4ever...
Great work for a first-time attempt!Some of the enemies move really, really fast and almost hit me in the face. There were also some all-black tiles that I thought were traps that would hurt me if I got too close, but they weren't. Despite that, it's still a great game overall, especially for a first attempt. I look forward to seeing more of your work and hope you keep it up.:heart:
