Not bad for a first game. I like the graphics, and the sound isn't that bad, but the gameplay definitely needs some more work - There's too many enemies spawning to easily dodge around them, and there's only one enemy type so if you survive there's not much to do afterwards. Someone else also mentioned you should round the score down to 1-2 decimals, plus there's the bug where no enemies spawn after respawning.
Overall, still decently fun, if it were polished I can see this being really fun.
For your first game, it's quite good! Starting out is not easy, trust me I know, and there's a lot of things you got right on your first try! It looks very nice and it plays well. If I may give some advice for the future, change the value of the timer from a float to an integer, it's a pretty simple fix but it should make the number of seconds easier to read while you play the game (you can also keep the decimal numbers for the high score if you want it to be as accurate as possible). Also I know that some bugs will always be in a game and finding all of them is impossible (and fixing some of them is... even harder), but you should playtest your games A LOT. Replay them, use every mechanic you made to try and break your game, even with something as simple as saving your progress. I know critique is not easy to take, that is perhaps the hardest thing to do (unlike giving critique, that is always easy), but I think you have potential! I apologize if I said anything harsh but don't let me disencourage you and make more games!
Thanks i love criticism it helps me improve most of the buggyness came to a lack of time because i didn't decide to join till 5 days in the score system was added last minute
A very good first game. Sound Stripe. Cute art and alright beat in the music. Sound Stripe. You can bug out the enemy spawning and then just earn score. Sound Stripe.
This game is very well made!! The music has a cool vibe, the pixel art is very cute, etc... You made a really polished game for your first jam, great job!! :D
The beat of the song is pretty cool! If this is your first time, welcome to the world of game jams!
Congrats! For your first game you got a lot of elements working! You should be proud I know how difficult it is to get things working at first!
quite good for your first game jam, nice visuals, where did you get the music lmao, seems like theres only one enemy, quite simple, id say alright for your first game
music is from sound stripe
so you stole from the internet? why didnt i do that xd
Sound stripe has lots of royalty freee music and i had no time to make my own music
Congrats on your first game jam! I didn't get any more enemies to spawn after the first ones though :c I like the music!
it does that randomly sometimes you just have to restart it
Congrats for first game jam! I couldn t get the game in full screen. The music and visuals are nice. It was interesting how i ned to move around the enemy to hit it instead of its bullets. Perhaps make a different model for the ennemy's bullets
the screen size is fixed now didn't have time to fix it before school and the having to shoot around the enemy's bullets was honestly an accident
Congrats on your first game jam! The game is very simple and could use more content, but overall, it was a good effort! Good job!
