  • This is a great little game, nice concept and i think it would fit on our arcade for sure. In my opinion this game out of the entire game jam was the top of the non shortlisted games. It does need a bit more work but it flows nice, looks good for the time-frame of the game jam. One thing we thought has let you down is the difficulty curve seems a bit off. One of the judges said you could cheese it a bit by not picking the enemy upgrades. One thing here could be upgrade categories. I really like the direction of this game and I really do suggest you make some small improvements based on the feedback. Look into color pallete choices (less colours) and get some contrast in there. Did you have in mind any sort of visual update. I think you should keep working on this and show us the improved version. Feel free to pop into our discord if you need advice or support.

Great game, smooth and challenging.  Being able to choose the enemy buff is a nice addition

nice game, I would have continued to increase my score, but the 100% enemy spawn rate made the screen completely fill with enemies

Nice! I especially enjoyed the fact that you have to upgrade the enemies as well as the player. Adds additional layer of gameplay, which is cool.

Keeping the enemies colour-coded made them easy to identify (one nitpick- would be cool if their shapes differed as well).

Over all- pretty good! Keep up the good work!

Appreciate all the feedback, kkcn!

With only 5 days, I played to my strengths...which is NOT art.  But I'll be going back in the near future and adding in custom artwork.  And yeah, I'll definitely keep the shape in mind.

Thanks for taking the time to play and leave feedback!
