the shoots are seen hardly. I like the mechanics. I think you should improve your UI/UX. Well done!
Key thing would be a lack of sound effects, it really hinders the game feel. But this honestly gets a huge bonus for making it from scratch! I hope you can build off of what you have!
We definitely plan to! We didn't have much time and it was only two of us.
Hey! I'm having trouble figuring out how to run the game, what exactly should I do with the files once I've downloaded them?
You can run the Jar directly, or have the batch file and the jar in the same directory and run the batch file. You also need Java installed.
I tried your game.
In general, I would agree with the others in the comments, but you did this from scratch in less than a month. That's impressive. The biggest change I'd advise is making the bullets bigger. May I ask why you chose to make your own engine, rather than using an existing one?
Though, for the sake of fairness, I'll rate your game the same way I would others.
Like your game!Very enjoyed
Sounds are really lacking in this game. Interface looks really small on the big monitors) But it is interesting project and i hope it would be updated more!
Thank you, we will keep that in mind with the updates. Please keep checking back!
Game would really would benefit from some sound effects. Everything also seems very small, there's a lot of empty space, could be significantly more zoomed in, this would also alleviate the bullets being tiny and barely visible.
Had trouble figuring out you need to reload, could've used a text prompt, ammo counter, sound effect, because right now it can feel like the game is bugged.
Black text on a dark background is also not a great idea, it's next to impossible to actually see what it says.
Well we did this all in 23 days from scratch, but we will continue to work on the project no worries.
Good game, simple visuals You might consider adding a gunshot sound effect. Sounds when reloading bullets and boss sounds for a better experience But the most amazing thing is that it doesn't use any engine. You're amazing.
Thanks a bunch, we just didn't have time to get to all that. Keep an eye on the project we are still currently updating it. We did this in just 23 days.
Hey, I really want to rate this game, but I don鈥檛 know how to open the .jar
Do you have Java installed? You can also download the batch file if you're on windows and it will run if Java 1.6 or later is installed.
Crazy you made all this in a month with no engine! Nice work, I would give similar feedback to others here but this is really cool, nice work!
Thanks, we tried our best and we started a little late, everything was made during the jam. Glad you recognized it, I'll check your game out here in a minute.
Love this bosses! Good job!
Thank you! I'll check yours out here in a second.
Cool bosses! took me awhile to notice the UI elements such as health/gold etc, could maybe use a different colored base to make them pop against the background. Otherwise well done!
Thanks a bunch will check yours out here in a second!
Cool bosses. A nice addon would be the bosses getting harder as their life goes down. Well done.
They scale with the waves, but good idea!
i might be missing something but how do i play it the batch file doesnt open for me?
Download the Jar as well.
like the game and bosses but could use more polish Imo.
What a cool game! Love the creepy-ish font you've chosen for you game! ;D
We are working on making a ttf out of it! I'll let you know when we are done.
It was fun to play, but same thing everyone is saying about the bullets and a little visual overhaul would be nice, overall pretty fun.
Perfect, I'm glad everyone is enjoying it overall. Like I said, I'll check yours out and get back to you. THANKS!
Its cool, definitely need some polishing tho.
We started late and wrote everything from scratch, no engine. We did all the art and music in that time frame as well. I'll check yours out here soon.
Really cool, I guess the bullets are pretty small but all in all I love the variety of bosses.
Thanks, sorry about the bullets, this was so fun. I'll check your game out in a minute.
I really liked it. The bosses are fun. I'll echo the making the bullets bigger part.
Thanks a bunch we will definitely make them bigger.
Great game overall + a nice variety of bosses
I liked the chicken in particular
As for feedback:
Player bullets were very small and hard to see. I'd make them larger.
Bosses could have more attack variety.
Thank You Divadzeng, Appreciate the feedback. We will definitely update the bullet. Attack variety will come as well. Keep an eye on the game for updates in the near future!
