Ranked from 17 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
When the player dash, a shield activates so he absorbs the projectiles, filling a chaos bar. When this chaos bar is 100% filled, a chaos event occurs. This event level up a side of statues (color change) making them to fire faster. The chaos bar slowly brings back to 0 and during this period, the shield doesn't pop anymore when the player dash. But the player can still dodge projectiles.
When chaos level is back to 0, the shield will appear again when you dash.
It fills (in my opinion) the theme because at some point the player will have to dash to dodge projectiles and so the player has to fill the chaos bar. So the game will speed up and the arena will without a doubt filled with lots of projectile with different speed, making chaos in the arena.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Code : yes.
3D assets : no (Unreal library : Quixel and Market Place), Mixamo for the character
Character Voices : yes
Music : no
Menu illustration : yes

Nice work! I really like your graphics and it’s quite addicting. My only nitpick is that the controls need some refinement. Awesome work, good luck!

Fun game! I had to rebind my keys in the options and you can dash out of the arena like Monea said but I liked the atmosphere!

A Little Favor For Chaos

KraftknDeveloper3 years ago

Thank you !

Can anyone beat my score?

An addicting arcade game, especially since you can make it harder for yourself if you want a better score. Although, there is an exploit that lets you dash out of the arena without dying, so you can keep gaining score without doing anything.

I found myself playing for much longer than I realized, nice work!

Cool art and the ambient.
The camera control is a bit hard for me.

Sorry to be french and having an AZERTY Keyboard ahah, but you could rebind those controls in the main menu > options > controls panel.
Retry it and let me know :) ! I'll check yours meanwhile !

MollyMGreeneSubmitted3 years ago

pretty fun! though I do feel like I'm fighting the controls rather than the game a lot of the time. audio and visuals are great, and I love the idea.

It's a bummer you didn't find the controls panels in options (main menu), maybe you can retry it/review your rating knowing that ! You can use also a gamepad !
But thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it !

Oh man, that laugh sound :D

This game is pretty fun. The 3D looked cool, and the voice lines were so rad. It's a bit merciless, but the always changing music at restart rewards. Also, the green "let there be chaos" was a nice one there.

Recorded in one shot ;D !

More sound effects would be nice, but still really cool. And thank you for making it so we could rebind controls! That was super clutch.

I agree even though I didn't have time so had some fx sounds ! I'm happy you find the controls rebind menu ahah !

Congratulations on your entry! Your game is quite unique to anything i've seen so far in the submissions. The controls are a bit weird until you get used to them but everything else is quite fun. Keep it up!

KraftknDeveloper3 years ago

Thanks a lot ! You can change the keyboard controls in the options menu ;), sorry for being french :D

WupposSubmitted3 years ago(+1)

Really nice game! The controls were very confusing at first, luckily I could change them in the options :P The playloop was really nice. Especially because the pattern is always the same, you can start to learn it and really get better each time you play. That felt great!

What I did not like as much is that sometimes you had to use your dash to get through a row of projectiles. To me it would feel a bit more fair if there is always a way to avoid them if you chose a different path before (but maybe that is just me!). I also did not fully understand why the dash sphere disappeared. I now saw you explained it in the comment below, but an in-game explanation somehow would be nice I think.

But all-in-all I really liked it! It is very addictive and just fun to play. Good job!

Thanks a lot for your comment ! Unfortunely I hadn't enough time to make better explanations ig ! But I am really glad you still enjoyed it

Amazing work. I think that voice will give me nightmares for the next week. I played it for a shocking amount of time. Loved the art.
spotted a few bugs:
starts in steamVR.
the dash sphere disappears after a while, but still functions.
When using the keyboard, D is forward, which felt very strange.

Apart from that, you did a great job with the theme and the game was dark and fun. feel free to leave feedback on my entry.

Thanks Dude ! Its not very clear but the sphere disappear for a while when you hear the character voice (I'm glad you "liked" it). This sphere absorbs projectiles so it fills the chaos bar at the bottom (when its full=> voice and statues change color). The sphere reappears when you the chaos bar hit back 0 (slowly degenerates from 100 to 0 after hitting 100%)

You can use a gamepad. Sorry I am french so default controls are french (ZQSD) but you can rebind keyboard keys on options (in main menu not ig sorry).

Sorry for steamVR bug, I forgot to unplug this plugin !

I'm eager to test yours !
