Would've been nice if you did not use AI for your cover art...

anaastaska 2024-10-07 21:51

@bertobui We agree, the initial cover art was uploaded just in case we didn’t have enough time to finish our game image. But we managed to complete it, and the image has now been replaced with hand made, done specifically for our game.

Other than that, we hope you enjoyed the game and its gameplay 😌

bertobui 2024-10-07 21:53

@anaastaska That is valid, I am glad you have replaced it. Will give the game a fair shot now, great job!

EDIT: Unless its not updating, seems like you just replaced it with another AI photograph, unfortunate

2024-10-07 22:18

@bertobui As you say, it’s a pity for this misunderstanding; on my devices, the image has been updated on the webpages to new one (not generated by AI). Still, we hope you were evaluating the game and its gameplay, not just the cover image🙃

Nice game! Really liked the asset variety. I would love to see the dungeons being progressively generated (ofc outside the scope of a game jam).

Also, I feel that having a clearer end goal would make the game more engaging.

Thanks for the submission! ^_^

anaastaska 2024-10-08 16:03

@ssiannas Yep, we feel that we need to add some progression of dungeon and also some more modifications and more mechanics, and I hope that we will do it after Jam. Thank you for playing!🕺❤️

Reached the 18th floor, hoping to see something like a boss) It looks good, of course, but the assets are very massive, they take a long time to load and heat up my RTX 3060 to 70 degrees)

That was pretty fun and the music was catchy.

I did a playthrough with the rifle and the rocket launcher and got the 4th floor with the rocket launcher before losing. I liked the rocket launcher better than the rifle because I got better feedback on my aim since i could see the rocket. I think the rifle could have used a laser showing where you were aiming.

Overall I like the set up but I think there are some minor things that would have made the game better.

1. Ramp up the difficulty. Make the enemies a lot faster and stronger as you change floors. I only noticed the enemies were stronger on the 4th floor because they took 3 shots from the RP to kill instead of 2

2. Add powerups around the environment, and maybe some empty rooms with just power ups. This will let the player get stronger the more they explore

3. Maybe add a timer. either a timer that kills you if you stay too long on a floor or a point system based on how quickly you leave each floor. Either way it would encourage the player to progress and increase the intensity of the game

Also I think the attack boost power up was broken or is it not supposed to work with the rocket launcher? I got a lot of them but never saw my damage increase.

@dinorex wow, i think you have reached the maximum level among all of us(developers od the game). Thanks a lot for playing! Yes, we need to do some optimization work😀

anaastaska 2024-10-08 17:48

@skleembof thanks for playing the game! And big thanks for all your feedback and suggestions, I hope we will polish this game and continue developing it!😌☺️

Nice game!

the-floating-brain 2024-10-08 19:32

Neat! I was hoping to see stuff themed like this during the jam! Though I feel bad blowing up the little mice :(

bombadrill 2024-10-09 07:55

Очень приятный шутер с видом сверху!

eugene-b 2024-10-09 19:07

I don't have Win pc with me now, so will try it later and comment out. Because it looks very exciting!

bacalear 2024-10-09 20:48

nice)

anaastaska 2024-10-10 06:32

@1cloud thanks!

@the-floating-brain thank you! Yeeeah, maybe we should do more aggressive rats, than small mice🙃

@bombadrill спасибо!:)

@bacalear thanks!

Really good 3d graphics, amazing!

nazariglez 2024-10-11 10:27

Great concept and nice 3D graphics! The variety of weapons was fun, and the music fit well. Looking forward to seeing more progression in future updates. Gj!

nice hab with litle tutorial, it's really helphul and many jam's game developers forgot or din't get enough time to do it. I reached four floor and explored all rooms by my way. I think game needs some feedback fixes for damage, shoot trace, it will improve action component. I was impressed by AI, it fun to play with. Nice work!

kkhemc 2024-10-12 04:46

Fun game! Really like the graphics and feel of the controls. Nice job!

pepechill 2024-10-12 19:40

Hi, I liked this game! I lacked a holographic sight, so aiming is not particularly comfortable. But the game looks and plays great

sasha20 2024-10-16 18:04

The game's theme keeps me hooked, and the stunning visuals are the cherry on top. Good Job!

paulhocker 2024-10-17 03:06

It was a really nice entry even though it did get a little repeating after a while. Thanks for making the game.

geoffroy 2024-10-23 08:49

Good looking game ! Pretty hard to play on a querty keyboard (good to always add the arrows for gameplay, but the tutorial was a nice touch), nevertheless I enjoyed what I managed to do ! Cool music, too ! Not so thrilled about the Ai art elements, though XD

eugene-b 2024-10-25 21:21

Wow, this game looks so great. 3d graphic is great and shooting is really impactful.
