Gorgeous graphics and simple solid mechanics, could potentially be a great mobile game :)
I think spamming X is a bit overpowered, and there is no penalty for not collecting energy (you can just let it accumulate, which benefits you)
Enjoyable duck animations! Those giants really take a long time to go down, though.
Screw aiming is a bit screwy, haha. Intuitively I expected the screws to fly in the direction of the crosshair, but it felt like they were going everywhere. Great job simulating a space battle environment in 48 hours!
Pretty amazing once I realized that you had to speak in order to be able to do anything - I only wish that the 'weapons' you spawned were more visible.
Overall interesting concept, would like to see it grow into a full-fledged combat system!
Impressed that you could develop it for NES, especially in assembly! The tileset/background is well done, but the player/enemy sprites could stand to be less simplistic.
I like how you managed to get a dungeon crawer feel going on, and that there isn't much if any hand-holding happening. It's fun to discover things on your own, I think there's a lot of potential to be had!
Really amazing for 48 hours, utilizing physics and picking up almost any object to chuck at aliens felt satisfying! I think the game would be amazing with a bit more polish (no objects falling out of the world, faster-paced gameplay)
Cool concept for a typing game! Difficulty might be a bit high for people with slower typing speeds.
Really interesting concept, lets you sit down and do some detective work. Only improvement could be smaller font? so you don't have to scroll and graphics to go with the text and add polish.
Interesting concept! The environment is a bit easy to use to your advantage though.
Pretty hilarious concept, would be amazing if there were actual combat involved!
Interesting concept, not sure why each player has 3 colors to splat with but the end result looks like modern art :D
Would be nice if you could actually emulate paint physics, but it is a 2D game.
The magic meter is a bit punishing, and divebomb mechanic feels a bit unnecessary (read: hard to use)
Other than that, great visuals and animations, as well as sound effects!
Top notch graphics! Really crisp look and feel to animations as well. I guess the combat could be quicker-paced, but the intro was really well-done.
Looks like the start of a great minimalistic art style, along with the base for a good game with solid mechanics!
I like how there is some basic AI that makes them try to rotate around the player.
Nice original concept, great visuals and audio as well!
Pretty punishing difficulty, especially as the targets start getting smaller/faster and the number of hits goes up significantly. Could use a warning earlier on that you're not allowed to miss a single shot - kind of jarring when that first happened.
I like the concept you've done, and the ending bars remind me a lot of the performance bars from Spacechem
That blaring beep whenever you fail really bugs me tho
Nice, simple mechanics! I really like the visual feedback you get from pushing the block and destroying enemies!
The visuals are nice, I guess it would've been a real game if the mice were on the floor and your job was to knock food off the counter :/
nice try!
Cute animations! Hitboxes on the enemies are a bit big, could use a bit more feedback when hitting something instead of just disappearing.
Nice audio, wish it spawned more enemies to run over though.
Took me a while to figure out how to actually throw the bread, could use a tutorial.
Pretty fun, impressed you made three levels in the alloted time.
I like the art style you went for, and the vibe that the game gives is mysterious and interesting.
That being said, the mechanic of randomly shifting words into slots until you get a result isn't very engaging, I got frustrated sooner than later.
I think the theme could use some work - it's a creative interpretation but the end result doesn't feel that fun to play.
I think the audio could be improved, most of the game feels like being subjected to ear worm from all the WABOO WABBOOO that goes on whenever you speak.
Amazingly well done graphics and music, and gameplay concept is interesting as well. Some thinking involved with picking which dice to roll in order to improve your chances, but with a bit of mechanics fine-tuning could become an excellent game.
Could use a checkpoint system, it is pretty damn frustrating and feels like you are sometimes being screwed over by the map generation. That aside, the projectile feels great to use (melting roaches!)
Feels like an interesting interface, like it was meant for touch controls!
I couldn't even find the blue box, the walk speed and controls felt too slow and frustration made me quit before I could continue.
Interesting level design, but I wish the checkpoint system was a bit more visible. Otherwise, pretty hilarious gameplay and I enjoyed smashing through glass walls a lot
Had a bit of difficulty getting web controls to work. Relaxing to play, though nothing is really Tetris about it aside from dropping down blocks. Game could stand to be more fast-paced.
Looks interesting, wish I had a dev kit :O
Would be great if there was a way to reset the game state!
Interesting premise, I enjoyed the dialogue! Felt a little inconsequential with the mining lasers as it was impossible to lose by spraying it everywhere.
Fun game, could use a bit of balancing in regards to a broken asteroid being stronger than a full asteroid somehow. The small ship AI seems to be sort of broken - they have a high tendency to not shoot at all.
Weapons felt very polished and fun to play with! I'm impressed with the variety of weapons available in the game, and each weapon feels great to use as well (with the exception of the pistol, that thing sucks ass)
I really liked the graphic style you used to make the menus!
A few glitches all around, such as enemies walking through walls. It'd feel better if the game was a bit faster paced (Faster ball, more damage, faster enemies)
Nice and simple mechanics, feels like a crossover between space invaders and brick breaker. Would be a lot more challenging if you could actually lose :p
I like what you have going here, could potentially become a great story engine if you ever decide to create a text-based adventure!
Could really use a tutorial, or any text really explaining how to play - the role of the player wasn't clear at the beginning. Audio and enemy spawn points could use some work. Impressive that you managed to implement some pathfinding into the game!
I like the mechanic where you have the ability to switch weapons! The key placement is a bit awkward though. Good job with learning some programming, now make more games!
It doesn't seem like the webGL inputs are working, might want to look into it
Really nice graphics and mechanics - I like how you lose your ribs and items upon being hit and need to pick them back up. Reminds me a lot of nuclear throne!
Fun game! Can get pretty hectic when there's not much room left to move with so many bullets flying around.
