A polished good game. But I don't understand the death condition actually. First I just try to move without firing and I don't understand the reason of the death. Secondly, sometimes the bullet doesn't hit the enemies. But overall a well polished good game for a week. Congrats.

Thanks for the Feedback. The game rule changes each wave and you have to adapt the play style according to that actually.
As for the enemy not taking hits, I will look into that issue. Glad you enjoyed it :D

Simple game with great visual and feedback. Everything was slick, polished and easily understandable. You did a wonderful job, congrats!


My only complaints is that it was maybe a tad bit too easy.

Developer

Thanks a lot for rating and your feedback. Agree, The difficulty seems a bit too easy. Will me tweaking that in the post jam changes :)

I liked the variation in the game, the graphics were simple but well done and polished. Thanks for the Linux build too!

I had no idea that this game was going to be so great.  It is polished. Flying felt so smooth and the best part was the game changing rules. I enjoyed this!

I found it simple yet polished. There is a lot to learn from this game. Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I kept the concept simple so I can finish the game on time and still keeping it polished even with less features. Just a simple thing I do for Game Jams. Thanks a lot for checking it out :)

Unfortunately, for some reason, the <span class="EzKURWReUAB5oZgtQNkl" data-src-align="7:2" <the<="" span="">game</span> doesn't start  :(

Developer

Oho, I'm not sure what the issue is. I guess the windows build is working fine. Not sure what went wrong. Anyway thanks for checking out.

Very cool game idea! I think it was missing some sort of upgrades but good experience!

Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game. I will add an upgrade system after the Jam.

Great idea. A top down shooter with a sort of simon says mechanic. Very original and challenging! The sound and visuals were great too!

Developer

Thanks a lot for the Feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :D

I love a good shapes game! Good job on the aesthetic, look and feel. The mechanics are fun and I love the take on the theme. I think having worked the penalty bars and health bar into the character or world instead of UI elements would have really added a lot, but really overall a great jam entry! Congrats. 

Developer

Interesting, adding something like that would have improved the game feel overall. Thanks a lot for the Feedback! I'm gald you enjoyed it :D

Very themetic game! It could be harder if a level can contain both shooting and movement penalty.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Agreed, a lot of people mentioned about the difficulty. Adding more challenges would sure make the game more challenging.

Great Game. It feels very smooth and i like the concept. It is very easy though and could use some more difficulty. But very good and feels nice.
