Classic! Good game.
Decent game, nothing to crazy, but kind of fun. Well balanced difficulty, I lost twice before winning. I really like the visual deformation effect. The upgrade UI was feeling a bit bad, like missing feedback on click and it faded out too slow while the game had already unpaused.
A solid game! I liked the balancing of the waves, they felt like a challenge without being overwhelming. The particle effects when the microbes explode is quite satisfying, and the graphics are quite cute! I noticed it takes a second or two for the upgrade screen to disappear, giving the enemies that might have paused quite close to the player a chance to do damage while you can't see them. Overall well done!
I always like vampire survivor like games and this one also just is pure fun to shoot and move around.
Decent game, the graphics and controls were good, responsive for the most part. It can really do with some sound though, to help make it feel nicer.
Very simple and clean vampire survivors clone, nice for a 48h gamedev. With more effect and sound etc...it be really good and better !
Simple and fun. I do miss some of the feedbacks, like enemy life bar and some impact when I hit them, but it's overall a pretty good entry. Good job!
Liked the controls and the variety of enemies in the game! The final boss was a nice surprise and accidentally cheezed it by standing still and shooting as the projectiles missed me. Maybe rotating the spawn points might help with this?
Also the camera was nicely used in the game! Well done!
Nice job with this one. Felt satisfying to float around getting baddies. I do echo what RilleP said, would be nice to have it not unpause until the cards disappeared. Thanks for the game.
Congrats on your game! For 48h it's very clean and I think you nailed the balancing and the progression. I am bit sad there was no sound for the game (unless I had an issue, if so I apologize!), it would really add tons of feedback.
I really liked the damage looks but the game could have really benefitted from some audio, even the most unprofessional sound effects can really up a game's feel!
The game really needs sounds. Gameplay is simple and interesting.
Nice game, lots of potential! You should polish it, even after the jam. And you made it on your own—well done!
Love the wobbly look of the cells! Especially the bullet impact effects and when two of them squish up to each other. :smile:
Great job. Even without audio, this game has much potential.
Great arcade game! Keep up the awesome work!
Nice, reminds me of Agario! Gameplay loop is very classic but still works okay. I'd recommend pushing the game juice a little further! Add sfx, particles, white flash on damage, screen shake, ... So much little detail could be added but would make an enormous difference. Also I'd suggest adding some kind of textured background to emphasize the movement.
All in all, a solid entry with potential!
Interesting! Seems a bit like agar.io! Had a lot of fun running from the other creatures while observing them at the same time. Also love that there is friendly fire between the enemies :)
02:45 An enjoyable experience.
+ I really liked the animation of enemies taking damage and eating up the xp. + I didn't like the green enemies because they were closely color related to the player and xp which was confusing at first, collect the green stuff, the green stuff hurts. + The red guys weren't too much of a problem, but they didn't seem to drop xp when exploding, which was sad, also a missed opportunity of having them damage the other enemies. + For the upgrades, there wasn't that much of them but for the length of the game it was ok, although that could make the extra xp upgrade a trap for the players. + Another thing about the level up is I think the flavour text and the mechanics should be more separated (like with an empty line, or have the effects at the bottom and the description at the top) as sometimes it was a bit confusing, like double efficiency giving you 15% boost.
Simple and enjoyable! :)
Great job! At first i thought the game was quiet simple and it didn't have a lot of depth, but as i played a bit more it was nice to see that there was some more of the game to explore with the level up system. Some audio really would have helped this as the graphics on their own probably need something to complement them to give the game a bit more juice. I really like the little chunks that were taken off the enemies each time you hit then, a nice small detail.
Really great entry here. I wish it was endless! Found a pretty easy way to cheese the boss by just sitting in one of the spots that it doesn't shoot bullets.
Waw super nice game, I loved the soft body effect, good job!
Geometry wars meets THE CELL. You made a game, I played the game, and I had fun and clicked retry multiple times: that is a success. I specifically really liked the touch of the soft-body interactions of the cells. I'm just envisioning this game scaling up and you have hundreds of these things all squishing together and forming crazy interactions as they chase you. Good game design :)
I really enjoyed the art style and especially the effect when the enemies were damaged. It got a little monotonous but that's not surprising for a jam game. Very fun and wave 7 was surprising :)
Decent game, adding sound is the obvious next step.
A classic shooting game, but is a good entry for the theme! I finished the waves faster than I expected, but for Ludum Dare is a good game. I like that you introduced a boss for the final wave. Overall, congratulations!
A pretty fun game! upgrades feels impactful. also I feel so bad about my bloby after it dies and make :( face
really addictive! I hate the blue guys :) I wasn't able to beat wave 4, but I had fun playing.
I was very impressed with the sense of squishiness I got from the enemies, managed to make hits feel impactful despite the lack of sound.
