Thanks glad you liked the music !

Yeah can’t argue with that, i think i should have made more detailed menus and have at least text indications to which ship has which shot pattern etc…

The floaty controls are there cause i tried to make them analogue but i think i didn’t finetune them enough.

You’re also right about the textures, and that is cause of the fact that i tried to have the game very low res to help with performance but since the textures are a bit on the busy side (and very low res themselves as well) it ended up aliasing like crazy > <

Sorry for the visual discomfort, i tried to limit this as much as possible. I think next time i make something 3D i’ll try to use simplet textures to help mitigate that when rendering the game at super low res.

Thanks for your comment, glad that you liked my entry :D

yeah the enemies’s i frames when spawning is something of a compromise i had to make, i made so thtat they have some because if not, you could just blast them offscreen as soon as they spawned. But i came across a problem where, since i used multiple cameras for rendering the backdrops, they could trigger their hitbox multiple times or be counted multiple times “escaped” when leaving the screen which caused a whole lot of trouble like not triggering the boss and softlocking the game etc…

So i baked the moment where the hitbox activates into their spawn state to fix it, can’t argue it’s not ideal since this gives them quite long spawn protection but it’s the best i could figure out to avoid shenanigans ^^’

I like the idea of multiple characters to choose from in games even if it’s not necessarily changing the mechanics, so i’ve had character rosters like that in jam games any time i can, cause i feel it gives a bit more personality to see the pilot instead of having the player choose just the ship :p

Thanks ! Glad you liked the graphics :)

Thanks for playing all the way till the end ^^

I tried to aim for a PS1/Saturn era feel so i’m glad if i managed to get you some nostalgic memories :)

Thanks, happy that you like the retro look, especially since i’ve not made much in 3D yet XD

Yup i kinda messed up a bit, but the player hitbox is always meant to be very small and is always located on the bright green canopy window of the ship. I tried to have it be as well placed as possible by offseting the ship model accordingly, though i can’t argue it still is a bit awkward on the larger ship :(

Glad you liked the enemy designs ! I tried to take advantage of using full 3D this time to have them look a bit more abstract compared to the player ships to give them a more alien and strange feel, it’s no Gieger but hopefully it looks decent enough haha :p

Thanks for playing !

I didn’t go too crazy on the bullet patterns cause i wasn’t sure how this would affect performance especially since i still havent made much in full 3D yet, glad you had fun regardless ^^

Thanks for trying my game out !

I’m sorry i don’t understand what you mean exactly by “key event” ? So i’m not entirely sure what issue you have encountered ^^’

Hope you still had a good time despite this issue though, and i’m glad you like the PS1 look XD

Yeah i might have not made the hitbox as clear as i hoped, but the thing is on all of the ships the green canopy area is the hitbox and is generally quite small even on the bigger ships :)

Thanks for giving my entry a shot, really happy that you like the artstyle :)

Yeah i wanted to have a bit smoother movement compared to some more Dpad style movement i had on other past entries, so i added some interpolation to the movement to make it better on analogue sticks, but i didn’t finetune it as much as i should have :/

Thanks a lot ^^ glad you really liked the visuals !

Yeah the ammo system and the weapons themselves ended up a bit lacking i gotta agree, like i said below, i didn’t made them do enough damage compared to the base shot so it didn’t really encourage much weapon conservation :p

Thanks for your feedback !

I was supposed to have the gameplay pause whenever the ship select menu poped up upon death to prevent just that, but for some reason whenever i tried to do that i had a weird issue where no matter what i did, i could pause the game, but the menu would get stuck in limbo where you couldn’t unpause to resume the game, so i had to ditch that and it ended up like it’s here in the release ^^’

yeah i think i didn’t have a big enough difference in damage between the weapons and the default shot so this sorta makes runing out of ammo less of a big deal than it should have been to make the player want to keep their weapons instead of just spamming away :p

Thanks ! Happy that you liked it.

Well retro’s my jam so i tried to have it look authentically PS1/Saturn esque era as i could :p

Yeah i didn’t spend as much time as i should have on the select screen to have all thge necessary info about the ships their shot patterns etc… :(

Glad you still had fun despite this ^^

Thanks for your kind words :)

Yeah i didn’t add many oomph to the impacts, cause i wasn’t quite sure how i could acheive similar effects in 3D (since i still havent made much yet with the extra dimention) though you’re right about at least adding impact sounds that would have spiced up things a bit at least :p

Thanks for giving my game a go !

Glad you liked the weapon powerups, i tried my best to have each their own feel, even if some powerups for some ships end up quite OP but i guess the limited ammo thanks to the theme compensates that aspect a bit :p

Funnily enough, i didn’t play Starcraft 2 so this wasn’t an intentional reference if something made you think of that game XD

Thanks :)

Really happy that you like the ship designs ^^

Thanks glad you liked it :)

I generally try to not make my games too hard, so i’m happy you found it friendly :p

Thanks for playing till the end ^^

Well in terms of gameplay differences there’s a difference between the 4 ship types (different hp values, number of weapons, shot pattern of the satelite drones) the 12 pilots are more visual preference variants of the 4 ships but i’m glad you found them cool:p

I managed to make 3 environements, so not a lot but hopefully enough for a bit of variety for a jam game XD

I went classic vertical cause here i mostly wanted to see if i could manage using 3D models instead of sprites but i kept the gameplay stuff 2D.

Thanks ^^

Yeah the stage lenght kinda was hard to balance cause i had a few issue where sometimes enemies would either be killed or flee and the boss wouldn’t trigger and softlock the game, and sometime it would trigger the boss multiple times, so i left it as it is in the release when i reached a point where these bugs wouldn’t occur even if this caused to have some down time in between enemy spawns (mostly cause i randomized the spawns a bit to help break monotony)

But i have to agree i couldn’t manage to not have the game be repetitive, hope you liked it despite this still.

Thanks for your comment :)

Thanks for giving it a shot ^^

I always kinda struggle to do proper difficulty balance for jam games, so i went for unlimited continues and let people change pilots for variety’s sake.

Glad this took you back to some Sega CD memories, my game’s no Silpheed for sure but i hope you liked it still haha XD

Thanks a lot for your comment and for trying my game out ! Glad you liked it ^^

Yep can’t hide the Starfox inspiration haha XD
