Super cute graphics! Gameplay is simple but effective. Nice done!
Thanks you both; I agree, the concept is pretty simple ;) And yes, i wished to have more time to add multiple enemy types, more bonuses, etc. I will probably tweak the game a little more in the future.
Thanks ;) For the lasers, i was also questioning myself about targeting the object you wanna shoot or just shooting on the horizontal plan. I will try the second one in feature build. For the Star Wars vibe, i can't be glad enough about it :smiley:
Thank you all! I've already made so many improvements to the game that i will publish when the rating phase will be done. I will also publish Windows & MacOS binaries to allow better performances. Just a sneak peak: I corrected many small bugs, polished and smoothed the robot controls; I've also added bonuses, new sounds, new menus, a leaderboard, etc. Thanks again for all your feedbacks. It makes me want to push the game beyond the game jam ;)
Thank you both ;) I'm so glad that you enjoyed playing this game. I can't wait to show you the improvements i've made so far since the end of jam (including music).
Regarding the camera, i agree, i will improve the tracking to see a further more.
Hi all and thank you very much for your feedbacks;)
Sorry for the late response, but here are some answers i can give to all your suggestions/feedbacks:
- I've added (available in the next version) new bonuses (points and nova). Points will grant you a fixed amount of points and nova will add a nova to your nova reserve (The novas are a new AoE mechanic that deal damage to all enemies in a given radius). I will post and explain this in a future dev blog post.
- Concerning the hitbox of the bonuses, i've increased it (in the next version) and it will be more easy to pickup them.
- I agree on the camera (visibility range, distance and zoom) needs to be adjusted to have more visibility on the playfield and help make vital decisions (kill enemies or rush pickup items)
- Regarding the difficulty, the enemies already spawns faster during enrage phase, but i agree that some tweaking are necessary to make it more challenging at some point, or at least, more harder over time.
- I also planned to add a difficulty selector in the upcoming options menu, to allow the player to choose a between 3 difficulty modes.
Thanks again for your feedbacks, and stay tuned;)
I really enjoyed playing your game. I love the graphics and the overall mood. Congratulations on your entry ;)
