"Lunar beam","Lunar beam","Lunar beam".

"Radiant burst","Radiant burst","Radiant burst".

I love how you just shouted the two abilities. That being said, I think it would be great if each power had its own advantage, in the end I was just using the burst.

Developer

100% agree with that statement. I thought the lunar beam would be much more used, but when I was play testing, I would find myself ending up rapidly going around clockwise while holding L to reach the enemies further away, which essentially made it a larger Radiant Burst.

LunAr BeAAMmm (The game is pretty fun, but there isn't an end, it is sort of an endurance test, no music, but the sound effects are amazing.) You get a B+ from me.

Developer

I will admit that the stat increase system and the powers weren't well balanced and tested enough, so I 100% agree with your critiques. Thanks for the B+, I appreciate it. I hope it gave you a little "radiant burst" of fun...

It was fun at first but at a certain point (I'd say 200 kills) it gets too easy and i have little to no use for the beam, I only used the burst.

This game neeeeeds aiming with mouse... I just can't hit anyone with the finicky movement... I love the abilities sound effect tho! 😂

Developer

Yeah, I'm realizing that more and more. I guess that when I heard "two buttons", I immediately ruled out the use of the mouse. That would make the game 100% more playable. Glad you enjoyed the sound effects though.

The game was simple but fun to play haha. I think the game will be easier if you can use the mouse to use the abilities instead of "j" and "k".

Love the original "sound" when you use an ability, still laughing haha

It would 100% be easier, yeah. I just figured that since the limitation was two buttons, that mouse was completely off the table unless you used left and right click only. This is why many devs have play testers.

And yes, the "sounds" are fun, especially when you keep holding Lunar Beam.

LUNAR BEAM, LUNAR BEAM, LUNAR BEAM. XD

Hope you had a good time playing though.

I've got 84 kills :) But I'm radiant burst all the way, it seemed like the more powerful weapon to me. I liked your moon indicator, but I got a bit confused about them at first (I thought the moon was the moon power, but that was the health bar right?).  Was a good bit of fun trying to kill as many as possible.

Developer(+1)

I could've been a bit clearer on the Lunar Energy vs Health Indicator, yeah. But I'm glad you liked Radiant Burst. I pretty much always used Lunar Beam when I played to increase my kill count, since I could just spam L and then rotate my character really fast by alternating movement keys.

I'm really surprised you made it to 84. I'm glad you had a good time playing.
