Nice job! Favorite part of the game is choosing what new ability you want. Mostly played it as a game of Rock Paper Scissors and spammed a stronger attack until it ran out. Could use some UI/audio feedback more than anything, but its def a solid game. :)
Omg a game jam multiplayer game with players. AND IT WORKS. AND ITS PRETTY GOOD!!
Good job y'all. The rotating made me dizzy a bit, but other than that I had a good time playing. :)
omg
Fun game! Wish there were more enemies (there was often dead air for 5-10 seconds), but other than that it plays well. :)
Well-polished and fun game! :) Simple and easy to understand. Only issue is knowing how to restart, which I figured out just my clicking around. Good job!
Really solid game!! Great use of the theme (toggling different actions is a neat mechanic). Had some feedback issues when shooting a spider-looking thing, and wasn't sure if melee was working properly, but overall it plays very well. Kudos :)
@jima Thank you! Haha yeah we didn't have any time left to make 2-3 more stages like we wanted (~1 min of gameplay each), so we made the one stage we did have 3 minutes long heh. If you reach max altitude, you've pretty much won but there's nothin that notifies you or stops the game. Much of the issues are def acknowledged but solutions aren't there just due to lack of time. ^^; Will def be uploading an improved version later on, seeing how it was so much fun to make and play. Thanks again for the feedback!!!
@johngun Impressive! ;) We talked about using WASD keys initially, but in remembering similar games that control via WASD, it feels like crap and using a mouse felt better-- even on mousepad. _i salute u for ur achievement_
@oab : Thank you! Sorry heh, we didn't really anticipate magic mouse use :X Hope you had a good time though!
@chao : Thanks so much for the feedback! The issues you had are def something came up in my sessions too. Will be looking at engine-break feedback and bullet balancing today, as well as a victory condition. :)
@mortus : Thank you! As much as we'd like to add other mechanics like powerups (which btw there's an audio file we made for it lmao), per Ludum Dare rules we can't. :(
As for the shooting: That's actually a bit of an add-on heh. A couple of those debris types were actually meant to be enemies that can shoot and track the player, so destroying them via shooting was the best option (we had 3 diff gun modes ready to implement). Ofc we can't add new mechanics like another enemy type in a post-jam release, so shooting is mostly an artifact of what we wanted to do. To balance the shooting post-release, we accentuated it by having shooting use engine durability, trading off plane control for some health. Plus, if debris is headed directly your way, shooting can help subvert the inevitable ;) Hopefully it's enjoyable to shoot things at the very least!
@jason-kennedy : Thanks for the feedback! We did balance the shooting since release, so hopefully that's an improvement. As for the music-- yeah that'll happen unfortunately haha. Can't be helped much, sorry!
I FINALLY BEAT MY OWN GAME
FUCK YEAH GIMMI THAT CHICKEN DINNER
bbreaker first win.png
@ganbaregameskyle : No worries, it's not you :P It was difficult to balance since we couldn't get the enemies we wanted in there.
In the previous version you could basically win by ignoring the gun and staying mostly immobile in one area, so we increased the speed and spawn rate of projectiles. Those changes resulted in it being really difficult and basically shutting out a chunk of players who don't like the grind of getting better at a game by dedicating more time (especially since its a game jam and most ppl won't).
Thanks for giving the game a try! :)
@roguenoodle : Thanks for catching that! Been using left click the whole time so I never caught that bug, whoops. :P
YEAHH that's about as far as I got a number of times. FEELS GREAT TO DIE, DONT IT AHAHAHA but yeah playing this again after a week or so its way too hard lmao we'll take a look at that
Wow. Highest rated game yet. Very reminiscent of Captain Forever Remix! Amazing mechanic, and very good game. :)
Awesome game! :) The absorb mechanic is neat too. It was a bit discouraging to die on one hit (even with additional lives left over). Aside from that, good job!
Very well made! Love the pico-8 style and the design. Audio fits well too. :)
Fun game once I got to the meat of it! Had trouble getting past the second room. The first blue capsule saying to jump had me mistake it for being harmful and I ended up avoiding the second capsule in every way until I saw the description that popped up by being nearby. Just a little UI issue, but the game is otherwise good! :)
gave 5 stars to humor for your itch.io account page
Great atmosphere! Others said it before, but its a bit too short-- in other words, not enough content!!! We want MOAR
oh my god
good goose
@adrien-dittrick Thanks much for the feedback! Yeah that's a common problem with web hosting and I don't have many workarounds in mind except for providing an .exe file. We recently updated the game with a ton of bug fixes and polish improvements like audio and feedback, so if you have time please give the game another try! Unity wouldn't let me export to WebGL after I updated the engine, but if you have Windows you're free to use the installed version and play on fullscreen.
Lots of polish and silly theme! :) Could've been faster paced but otherwise very well made.
This is good. This is SO good.
