This was a really solid top down shooter. I liked the shooting mechanic, the movement felt awkward but I got use to it! Nice work!

This was really interesting to play. I love the W forward + Mouse direction mechanic. I was surprised to noticed that shooting stopped you and as others have mentioned, it makes dodging impossible. But, I do think there might be a solution to it and turn that into your favor.

Like, there was this enemy that has two guns on each side facing forward so it can shoot two bullets at once but the freezen gun can only cover one of the bullets in a face to face shooting, but there was a part of the level where I took cover from this enemy and I was able to literally cover myself from the second gun while blocking and attacking the enemy.

I found that pretty cool, so you could use some level design to balance the lack of dodging, could also make those 2-gun enemies be static so you know before hand how to position yourself to attack them.

The possibilites are endless really, very cool game!

That's a good idea, there's definitely some good ways to improve, if I ever go back to this game or make a similar one. Thank you for the suggestions 😁

Fun game!i appreciate the unique movement and i like how the shooting works,i also love it when games look good while using simple sprites and shapes and this is exactly that,Great job!

Developer

Thank you! Simple styled art is my go to, since I am terrible at making things look aesthetic. Glad it works!

Submitted

This is a fun tank game! I like how your attack cancels out the others, but the number of enemies still requires you to consider your positioning. Good job!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for playing 😁

the movement is so conventional and new for me that it felt good, quite impressive submission, good job XD

Developer

Thank you! :D

Like it! Satisfying top down shooter. I think the controls do work like this. Maybe S to reverse as well might help for dodging? Anyway, enjoyed it, good work! 

Developer

Thank you! Glad your okay with the controls, bit mixed feelings about them 😅 

Submitted

I like this game!

Developer

Thank you!

I am not a fan of the controls. WASD for movement would be much better for the gameplay than W and mouse direction controls. Because of the controls dodging has no meaning since you have to stop in order to hit the enemies. The art for the UI and the environment is lacking but the polishing you have done is great. Enemy death effects as well as the particle of the freeze gun are very satisfying.

Developer

Thank you! Mobility is the biggest issue, I think for next jams I'll focus more on the player instead of making as many levels. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

The particle effect on the weapon is awesome. It was very hard to dodge the enemies though; you could have given them a slight delay in tracking you. 

Developer

Glad you liked the particles 😁 Thank you!

Submitted

Congrats on your submission Danniboy1234 ! It was quite fun.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Tough without dodge, but still good fun!

Developer

Thank you!

The gameplay is smooth and fun, the controls are well assigned, and the visuals/sounds do well to enhance the overall game feel. There were times I found shooting enemies to be impossible without taking damage, and perhaps an alternative defence mechanic like strafing or shield would be helpful in those situations. 

Developer

Thanks you! The game definitely needs a mobility improvement.

Submitted

Nice! The particle effect of the gun is really beautiful. It was different from the standard top down shooter in that you were static while shooting - but you could shoot the projectiles, too. Challenging, but fun.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed! I think the static part was the wrong decision though 😅

Submitted

Nice job! Pretty challenging, but feels pretty good to control, like the variation of enemies.

Thanks for playing!

I don't really understand the game design choice of giving the player a DOT weapon while simultaneously not letting him move while using it : you have to hold your position to kill the enemies, but that means you wont be able to dodge their fast bullets and the little homming missiles

I think your game would be instantaneously far better if you let the player move while firing or at least laterally to dodge with more ease

Lemme know if I'm missing something

(Btw I really enjoyed your other game Shape Rush, great concept, great execution)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! Yeah, I agree with the dodging problem. It looked bad when I kept movement enabled, in hindsight probably should of fixed it instead of just disabling movement. Thanks for the great feedback.

Shape rush is definitely my favourite jam game I made!
