Oh, this game is amazing! Just shy of a perfect score for me! The art and music are great, and the use of the theme is fantastic. I love how both sides play very differently.
I do have some issues with it though:
- The purple bullets sometimes curve completely out of the way of an enemy, which is super annoying.
- Offscreen enemies are nearly impossible to find, which makes it annoying to have to hunt them down. My best game had me survive a few minutes without finding any
- The game would be great with a "last chance" few seconds of slowed time before you die in order to flip. Would make a great strategic option and feel a lot more fair. Right now I sometimes get blindsided by the bar completely filling without realising.
- The transtition between the final score screen and the game start is too abrupt. I actually thought the game froze up.
- The game needs a high score table, even just an offline one.
Aside from that, I had loads of fun with the game, even if it was slightly frustrating. I did also got a very nice high score ;P
Hey mate. Some feedback:
- I like how you put RMB on the first screen of the game. Don't ask why. I also like the JUICE.
- However, the game would sometimes lag when there were too many particles, so please chill out w/ the particles a bit.
- I could not move w/ WASD after dying once/twice/three times in the Web version, so I had to reload the page.
- The 50% speed text pop-up stays for too long, which made me lose focus once and die, which felt rather unfair.
- Please also let me full-screen, as RMB would sometimes open another tab that's not inside the game making me lose.
- The bullets go on a very weird way sometimes, which was kind of annoying.
- One time when I was close to getting to 300 points the enemies said "NAH NOT GOING TO SPAWN MATE", so I was kind of soft locked, which felt unfair. Update: okay so maybe the enemies spawned but I could not find them so adding some kind of "arrow" pointing to the enemies would be nice.
*- I also like how you added a SFX right before I'm about to lose, but some music would be nice as well.
Lastly, please add a high score counter. This is my high score:
Thanks for your feedback :) Yeah, the base level difficulty is quite high in this game, not intentionally so; introducing the mechanic would've helped undoubtedly. With regard to rising difficulty, the game actually increases in difficulty over time; as you might have noticed, the health bar's movement speed increases regularly by 50%. But I know what you mean, the base difficulty is simply too high.
