The art is great! I loved the idea of recycling the ammo! Great job!
the pixel art is quite good, I liked your take on the theme and the controls were nice to play with, as someone else said the shooting and sucking projectiles might needs some extra polish, Good Job overall!
Impressive art!
over all the game is very solid and plays well, fitting the genre perfectly, good work!
Really cool concept, impressive pixel art! I was unable to get past the first boss due to two things - not being able to shoot unless my ammo was full, and not being to suck in projectiles unless my ammo was empty. The second thing is a larger issue I think, because sucking up projectiles is your only means of defense other than evading the cans, which is pretty difficult. The game would probably be a lot more enjoyable and completable if the player could suck up cans at any ammo amount under 5. It could also be cool to be able to deflect incoming cans with your own can shots, as another means of defense. A good concept and good potential here, well done!
the visuals are nice, the gameplay is well thought out. But above all the use of the theme is really successful. it's a very good idea a big gg for the game
rly cool art and i like the concept. the gameplay was fun but when I'd pull the shells they'd kill me after my clip got full. wasn't that big of an issue though, just means you have to only use the vacuum when there's a few cans near you, which I guess might have been the point. overall fun game:)
wow I love the art style, and the idea of the game is super cool!
one tiny issue I had is that it wasn't very intuitive that I have to fill up the vacuum to the max and then I can shoot and vice versa about the shooting and vacuuming, I think I would like the possibility to shoot and vacuum whenever.
other than that, solid game
I didn't have enough time to sufficiently explain the controls to the player, the first mission with an introduction to the controls was planned, but as is usually the case, I had to cut part of it out to make time. Thanks so much for the feedback!
No matter what I did I kept dying when trying to pull the shells, I followed the description exactly and it still didn't work, the graphics are nice and I guess there's fun to be has in dodging the projectiles.
When I made the game, very often played it, and at the very end I thought it was quite easy, but it was not an objective opinion, now I understand how important to give the game to test the other people!
A bit too difficult but fun
nice game ! Fun ! Rated ! Good job !
