Only thing that holds it back is that it is too small, and the gameplay could get very old very fast if this was all there was. Otherwise just a fun little game. Also bonus points for someone to use the un-stable joke, we were very close to doing it ourselves.
Surprisingly fun. I would say to maybe make the power able to be recharged even if there is no blackout, and also if you give the monster anything with a blackout the game's audio will bug out until the power is back on. I also personally just don't like the sound effects. Other than that, good job!
Game is really good. Only thing is that some of the spawned items in combination are very tricky to get out in a way that doesn't feel fair. Also I can't seem to get WASD to work, even trying the alt+shift trick. Besides that, the art was on point, audio was good except for a few of the "gross" sound effects (but that might just be my personal opinion), and the gameplay was very fun and chaotic.
I think I just echo what is already said, but might as well list them out: - Enemies have no telegraphing on the attacks. - The attack is very weird, I honestly thought it was a melee attack for a while, and then I just had a hard time judging the distance of the attack. - Transforming feels a bit weird, I'm still not sure if its when the bar is full or if it needs to get past the 80% thing and you/the enemies do something. - Audio would also help, but seeing as this is your own engine I can understand if you haven't implemented that yet.
Beyond all of that, the game was actually pretty solid. It might just be me, but I genuinely had a lot of fun running around and murdering everything. Visuals were also very good. Good job!
Really great game to come out of 4 days. Only thing that I can see is if you have a lot of lightning cubes (as I did) spawned at once the games audio becomes very loud. Also later in the game the glow effects make it impossible to see what is on your board (though I was running very small cubes, so that might be me) Overall, though, amazing job, one of the best games I've played in this jam, and kept me entertained longer that I will admit.
I like the concept, and I could see this being really good, but it just feels impossible. For the record, I got to the second screen and couldn't make it past, and I could only beat the first screen by running past the first enemy. The powers and punches just feel hard to pull off due to the delay of the power itself and the enemy's speed.
Still, overall nice idea, and I like the art.
