In what way does your game fit the theme?
Bullets fly everywhere, and all you have is your sword. It will soon become chaotic.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
No, I used some of A* Pathfinder.

CONTROLS:
W,A,S,D & SHIFT - Movement
MOUSE 0 & MOUSE 1 - PRIMARY WEAPON & SECONDARY WEAPON
HOW TO PLAY:

USE YOUR PRIMARY TO SLASH ENEMIES IN CLOSE COMBAT,
USE YOUR SECONDARY TO FIRE YOUR BLADE PROJECTILE.
IF YOU HIT A TARGET'S BULLET, IT WILL THROW THE BULLET BACK AT THEM.
DESTROY THE BOSS.
This game was really good about sticking to the theme. I just wish it had been a little easier so maybe difficulty settings and maybe a soundtrack. Overall good game!
Yeah, I realized that it's a little hard, even if you know exactly how to play. I'm making an easy mode that will come out after the jam, also a menu that actually tells you the controls, instead of having to read off from here.
Interesting game. I liked the death animations, thats all, sorry. The bullets didnt collide with the walls so you almost instantly died. It is chaotic but not super fun to play due to no audio, game juice(ex. screen shake, different effects), no feedback when you damage the enemy and so forth. I read that you made most of the game in two days, which may be the reason its lacking much and have much to be improved to be better.
Hey, your points are pretty valid - and I do know that there needs to be audio. Although I believe I saw in your video that you didn't know the exact controls, I'm sorry that I couldn't tell you them in the actual game - but I tried to just put them here & hope that it's okay. You can use SHIFT to run, & MOUSE 1 to summon a blade projectile. Also if you hit a bullet, with either your blade or the projectile - it will throw the bullet into the direction of your blade.
Quite a fast passed and chaotic game fits the theme so well! Great work :D
Thank you! And I'll probably just add an easy mode so beginners don't have a hard time lol.
This is a fun fast paced game. The max I could kill were 10 enemies. Also I really liked the deflecting bullets concept. getting surrounded by so many bullets from the start really make this a chaotic game, It fits the theme well. Thank you for sharing this awesome game :)
Thank you! Yeah, I realized that it's pretty hard - I'll add an easy mode after the jam lol. I'm glad you liked it!
very chaotic game. fits the topic very well
good job :D
Thank you! There'll probably be an easy mode after the jam ends lol, otherwise it would be pretty hard to beat.
It definitely fits the theme! SO many bullets everywhere around me, the movement is quick and I always appreciate that in games like these, it's pretty challenging, I couldn't live for more than 30 seconds but it was fun nonetheless!
One issue though, it needs audio!
Yeah, thanks for playing! I really agree that it needs audio; I actually got an electric guitar recently, so if I manage to learn that relatively fast, I can use that for some audio. And yeah it's too hard lol, I'm making an easy mode that I'll release with WebGL support after the jam. I believe the main problem was that I made the bullets do two extra damage, and couldn't actually tell that it was too much because I was just speed running. Nonetheless, thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked the movement too :).
Electric guitar is so cool and would fit so well!
Also, I think a nice addition that would balance the game is lifesteal, whenever you kill someone you get 10HP for example, it would balance out the huge damage you take from all directions and rewards actually killing smartly.
Best of luck in your gamedev adventures man <3
This was really chaotic :) Cool game. keep going 👍
Thank you! Yeah, probably a good idea for me to make an easy mode lol.
Loved the game its cute and simple!
Tho i would say to add a bit more player feedback
Like some screenshake or small things like that
Yeah, definitely, I was thinking of adding in some screenshake and also some more visual cues, although I ran out of time & had to submit. Once the jam is over I'm sure I'll add something like that.
sure! I will definitely play this game after u update it! So please do let me know i am gonna follow u
Yeah, I'll put out a dev log or something that will show updates :), easy mode will probably be done this week, as long as updates to the level generator. More may come after that.
Had to pull up some John Wick moves while playing this one!
I had fun! i would like to see a more juice version of this game, with screen shakes and maybe powerups! Thx for making it!
Thank you! Yeah, I think the basic mechanics work pretty well, I would definitely want to make an easy mode for beginners as well lol. I think some screen shake when you hit a bullet with your actual blade (rather than the projectile) would put an emphasis on the amount of force you used. I already got some health items, so I'm sure powerups & other items won't be too hard. I'm glad you liked it! I may update it soon after the jam ends. I'll try to rate yours soon!
I played your game and give 5 stars :p
Pls rate back :D
Chaos of destruction
Thank you! I'll rate your game once I get some sleep!
Nice work! Game fits the theme and cool concept of having different attacks! I feel like the enemies are too tanky for a melee style gameplay with tons of mobs. Could do some balancing and add more visual and audio feedbacks so the players can tell when they have been hit or when they hit an enemy, overall well done for this submission
Thank you! And I really believe you hit basically everything I need to work on for this. The enemies did feel not exactly right for a melee game, obviously I need to work a little more on the enemies. I'll try to rate your game once I stop being an insomniac and actually sleep.
Straight madness right off the bat. Those little orbs of death could have spawned in a little slower and maybe not so many at a time. Good Job though!
Thanks! Yeah they are definitely fast, I really believe I need to make an easy/beginner mode just because the game will really make you move. Next time I update it, that will probably be a thing. I'll rate your game soon!
Gameplay is really solid, had a lot of fun. Well done!
Thanks! I'll try to rate yours once I manage to stop being an insomniac and fall asleep lol.
