Ranked from 59 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
You have to collect as many orbs in the level as you can. When you die in-game (the end,) you respawn and lose 30% of the orbs you collected (the new beginning.)

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I used ChatGPT to help me with the player controller and the timer. But other than that, i wrote everything else on my own, along with all of the art and animations. I also got the music from Royalty Free Planet on YouTube.

Oh yea, I also asked ChatGPT for the title :)

Yooo the atmosphere is so good! You nailed it with the graphics and sound, they're really well put together :)

Thanks! :D

WOAH! Did you actually make this game in a week? This is so cool! Add a bit more variety and this game would be complete.

Good game. 

The "Game Over" UI was glitched to the bottom of my screen the whole time. 

Developer

Oh shoot


Yea, the UI scaling is broken on lower/higher resoulutions due to the different animations i made for it, so it works best at 1920×1080, sorry

Are you able to play it at that res?

Submitted

I was able. 

I have 2 monitors. One 2k and the other FullHD. I just played it on the 2nd monitor.

Great visuals. I loved the setting, it worked really well with the music.

Loved the music, cool art, the game was really fun to play, if you would like to updated, i would add power ups or different types of enemies to make it more interesting, really good overall, congrats and keep it up!!!!!!!!!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks a ton! :D

and as i said in some other responses, i was originally gonna add a lot more features like power-ups and different weapons, but due to the amount of time I had, i had to simplify the game loop a lot :/

Submitted(+1)

Fun game! I like colourful graphics and awesome music. Also shooting animation looks cool. I had a pretty good time playing this game! Great job!

15 Orbs and 6 deaths. Did get up to over 20 Orbs, but then had a big dying spree :P.
Love the Graphics, the whole look, feel and sound of the game was a lot of fun.
Few minor bugs/issues,.. could do with the enemies resetting upon death, respawning on top of 10 enemies and dying instantly wasn't great :P. 
For a Jam game, this was perfect length, and a lot of fun.
Great job :)

I had fun playing the game, my score was 35 x 4.

The resolution was kinda weird in the web build but I was able to manage.

Love the DJ, it's a fun location for the game. My score was 27 x 6. I think even when the player dies they can still fire, I heard the death SFX while the screen was black so even in death I was kicking butt. Great work! Keep it up!

Submitted(+1)

Love the vibe of the game!! Simple top-down shooter but the atmosphere and music make it exciting. Nice AI title by the way, I also used ChatGPT for some code 😳

Great work!!

Submitted(+1)

Wow, really cool game!

You nailed the graphics and VFX, all the visuals are fantastic (that robot is a cool detail too)
Concept is good, I had a lot of fun playing it, just wish I could see the entire screen lol

You really did a great work, keep it up bro!

Developer

Thanks :)

And yea, I was already aware that some ppl wouldnt ne able to see the entirety of the UI. Before I worked on all the animations for the UI (death, game over, etc.) I did have it so the UI would position properly. But after I did them, it broke everything with the scaling/positioning, sorry :l

rly cool and rlly hard lol :))

I was jamming out to this game, most fun I had playing a game in the jam so far! Loved the overall aesthetic! Makes me want to make a game like this, but except you are in a hard rock concert lol. Great game!

I love how you made the robot from your last Brackeys entry into the DJ.

The game is pretty fun, I really like the visuals and sound. The dance floor is super neon and colorful without being over the top and killing enemies is really satisfying (I also love how the skull blinks Lol). I also really like how enemies are pushed back when they attack the player to give a bit of breathing room. Unfortunately, your health can still get absolutely shredded by a group of enemies attacking all at once. This is especially a problem when you respawn on top of them. I would suggest adding some invincibility frames to the player after getting hit or respawning, or just have all the enemies get pushed away instead of just the attacking one. But overall, this game's really fun with an excellent visual style!

Thanks! :D I think you might be the first one here to notice the skull blinking lol. And thanks for noticing the robot too :)

And about the enemies, i was aware of there being a hoard of enemies going at you once you responded, but I ended up not fixing it due to time restraints (I ended up submitting only 3 hours before the deadline, which was at 5AM for me)

Submitted(+1)

Dang and I thought I submitted late...

But yeah I totally understand not being able to fix stuff because of time.

Great game. the game feels realy nice and the art and music is also really good. It's also really cool how the UI shakes when hit and falls when the player die.

Amazing game. keep it up♥
