Found my self playing till level 36. Fun game :)
Cool game, easy to pick up and play and I found it a bit original :)
Web version did not load but the desktop version (Linux in my case) worked fine. Fun game with nice graphics. To begin with the explanations on how to do the basic things were good but I lack feedback on what the potions do after drinking them. Also I never understood the goal.
As you mentioned the contrast could have been better. I liked the movement and the boss ship though, would not change that part. Maybe even lower the amount of HP? Cool game. I had fun :)
Short and sweet :) I like the art and the mood. The music loop goes well with the theme but I think it wouldn't hurt to make it a bit longer.
Core game was nice, punishing until you learned where to attack from. Hiding in the upper left corner and charging all the enemies seems to be the winning strategy. Could use some more enemies but one can't have everything :)
Nice work
Also thank you for opening my eyes to Pico-8 seems really cool
Really fun :) Good concept and good execution. The most playful game I played so far :)
Love the tutorial bit. The audio and graphics are really neat. I do find the crosshair a bit misleading. And it is a bit irritating that it is possible to control with the keyboard but not restart the level... Not much to complain about otherwise... Maybe a Linux version? ;)
Great solid entry.
Web version worked fine for me. I get what you were going for. Fun idea with good audio but it felt a bit incomplete. Here are some thoughts:
* It did not seem possible to loose, or no penalty for missing the incoming sounds? * There was no scoring (or at least it was not obvious to me) * The camera was too zoomed in so I had no time to react on the incoming things. A game like this would benefit from being in portrait mode rather than landscape.
Like the mood and the concept. Took a while until I understood that I was controlling a robot and not a bomb :face_palm:
Nice game. I really like the graphics and the mood. Would be nice with a fast forward function, at least in the early easy stages. On PC it was a bit hard to drag straight diagonals but it worked after some practice :)
I had fun with it :)
Ha I did investigate door 150 :) Very interesting! Fun game :) Good entry
Really cool :) Nice mood and graphics! Also really easy to get going with how to control the game. This is rare in COMPO games.
Yeah I never got the controls to feel right... Debated on switching it around but I wanted the main move mechanic to be inspired by real orbital mechanics so I stuck with this. Maybe it would have been easier if the camera rotated with the rocket. That would have had a lot of different issues though... Better luck next time :)
Good idea with the health. It was on my todos which I never got around to together with more kinds of missions with more points, sizes, speeds etc...
Thanks for the feedback :)
@gwinnell yeah I now wonder why I didn't have more sensitive speed controls... I think I decided in the beginning that it would look better in the UI with a segmented display. But what you say makes a lot of sense. Should have rethought that. UI seems like a weird priority in this case :D
@thedarkmagi @idunnyx yeah the controls are the weak point of this game as discussed above :) Thank you for playing though :)
Have to agree with above. Hard but really fun :) Well executed!
Fun game. It is not very clear what parts are destructible and not although trial and error gets you a long way. Really enjoy the music. Good work
Tried several times could not get the levels to load :( Menu works fine etc, but all levels are just black ...
Too bad it looks fun and reading the comments apparently is fun as well
I found it a bit annoying to not be able to backtrack as I sometimes exited by mistake and then could not get all the thing without resetting the game. That being the controls were solid, it was fun. I beat the game :D
Have troubles running the game :/ I get to the start menu click begin, see the game but then after one second I hear a squeak and the screen goes grey. Awesome music though :)
Good music and good graphics. If would nitpick I'd say that I found the controls a bit slippery. Otherwise good solid entry :)
I tried your game and I find it really hard to understand what to do. Would be nice if you included some descriptions :)
Really nice entry. My one nitpick is that I could not find a way to reset the game without reloading the webpage.
I liked the idea with running the same level over and over with added enemies, that worked well. The art was fine but a little small.
I encountered a weird thing when i pressed space I ended up at the bottom of the page so the game got outside of view. Solved this by only viewing the game frame. This made the resolution maybe bigger than intentional.
Played all of it. Good entry :)
Great Idea. Well executed. I had to force my self to stop playing to get back to work! One nitpick would be that it is quite annoying to have to count the number of "-" and "|". At least I couldn't find a way to do it otherwise (such as highlighting it or such) could make the game leaner. Otherwise great work
I found myself mostly confused. Played it in the Web version and found it too dark to see anything. Also didn't manage to craft anything :/
Didn't try any other version so maybe it is not a problem there ... But maybe it would be nice to add a flashlight?
Nice platformer good graphics and really liked the music. I miss being able to be able to jump while walking ( holding D and then W to jump ). Would have been nice with some basic sound effects on jump and taking damage.
The menu looks awesome. It is a bit of a contrast to the level ( which is not bad by either but the menu is way better )
Otherwise nice game. Runs well
Cool game :) Would be nice if the difficulty was ramped up so that you would get in to the grove a bit before getting too difficult. Still I had fun playing it :)
You guys really nailed the mood :)
Really fun game. The only thing I can comment on is that it would be cool if the guards were more extreme maybe even lose instantly if seen? You really nailed the stealth feeling though! Congrats
