Cool idea, I was ending up stuck way too many times!

Really good vibe! The camera could move slightly in the direction of the cursor to provide a wider field of view. Good job, that was fun =) Desktop Screenshot 2023.10.03 - 01.09.07.14.png

Very nice! I enjoyed this take on the theme, and the level progression was very well designed :)

Great concept with a nice game feel! The game is pretty well balanced, I like dit! :)

Scored Level 7! It was challenging. Most part of time my strategy was just dodge enemies because it very easy to stuck) Well done

nice idea, good game!

Great concept for a game! I really like the strategy of deciding when it was best to shoot enemies versus sneaking past them. The different enemy types spawning different block patterns was a smart design choice, too. Nice presentation, graphics, and music! I really had fun with this and enjoyed it all the way to the end :)

Intersting twist to a top down shooter. My hotline miami habits made me try to rush through the levels but I quickly realized I need to think for a second. Well done :)

Cool idea, and fun for a while, but the camera and the limited lives are big issues. I died because of the camera more than because of my mistakes. This wouldn't a be big deal if there wasn't limit lives. When the problematic camera is combined with limited lives, I felt like I was being heavily punished for things I barely have control over.

@brogolem35 I agree, in some levels the view can be made some trouble. I don't have time to made a scrolling view like hotline miami for exemple (when you push shift), another solution was to modify level design or simplify to fit the entiere level in the view. Honestly the game is not be difficult, if you are prudent, 5 lives is good i think, if you made a mistake, the next life you have the information to not made the same and the game is short and speed, you can beat the 16 levels in a few minute without speedrunning. If you have take a good time it's the most important, lot of game use frustration of the player to push it to made better and give him an accomplishement sentiment. So learning by death is not a bad idea.

Very good game :D Don't forget to make it possible to move with ZQSD :')

robowarrior1982 2023-10-05 09:08

Thanks, @anthonich I working on camera adjustement in accord to @korvack and @brogolem35 comment, so i can add this in the same time in a few minute ! Are you french/Tu es francais ? (you can already move with arrow)

I'm really enjoying the original concept of this game, especially the larger blocks which took me by surprise. It could move the camera using the right mouse button.

merdeboi 2023-10-05 15:47

Took a few tries but got it, pretty unique gameplay and interactions, like shooting guys after you're past them so you get some score still :smile: good sounds and graphics, great gameplay.

Cool concept. It seems that its mostly better to avoid then enemies rather shooting them, especially the later ones that spawn multiple blocks and can easily either block an entire room or just kill you when youre too close. The graphics need an upgrade but are perfectly acceptable for a solo jam game.

henrik-ganard 2023-10-05 19:47

The bast strategy is to avoid shooting enemys if you can. Fun little game. Great work.

decentsauce 2023-10-05 20:04

Great game, I love the concept! In lvl 1 I instinctively started playing the game and got blocked out immediately. That felt like a real aha! moment. Graphics are fine but the AI artwork felt really out of place to me, I think your game would've been fine without. I wasn't good enough to make it until the end but I would love to see a version that let's you keep playing to see the rest. Very well done for a solo project!

grizeldi 2023-10-05 20:20

I like the concept, the graphics could do with some work though.

oznarox 2023-10-05 20:30

Its very loud, let me turn off the music or change the volume pls.

shmi 2023-10-05 20:33

really liked the game, enjoyed that defeating enemies to pass could also stop your progress. I do like the graphics for the style of game that is is.

evil23 2023-10-05 21:10

Nice to see fellow top-down shooter! It felt like an inverse bomberman although at some point it was easier to sneak around the enemies than shooting them. Maybe reduce the default walking speed a bit. Also good art & music, overall nice polishing!

ddolgov 2023-10-05 21:45

I chose a strategy to avoid enemies and kill only those who block the way. And that was really fun! The idea of transformation enemies into different walls is cool. IMHO spread guns too OP, I think their need some animations before shooting or shooting direction highlighting. It can be helpful for player to indicate shots and avoid them. Good choice of bg music, it fits to game very well. Great job! :clap:
