it was very fun to play, could use some bgm
Hahaha, Thanks man!
This engine is not surppot slow down the music, so I'm not add it
Maybe I will rewrite it? with other engine?
oh that would be a nice idea
As already said, it has a great, juicy feel. Great work. I could only manage about 50 seconds before I'd get killed but was pleased with myself whenever I did.
You're doing great, just like me!
Fun game! 5 stars all around. I survived for almost a minute!
You're playing well. On average, I only managed to last about 50 seconds. It is evident that not all developers are good at playing their own game. Hahaha.
This was a blast :p I enjoyed it a great bit![]()
Thank you for the playing!
The concept is simple, but it incorporates the jam theme very well, and is very addictive and fun to play. The game has just the right amount of juice with screen shake and particle effects, decent art and fitting sound design. My only complaint is that there seems to be a bug, when after some time, no matter what you do, the explosion circle just won’t grow past certain radius.
Sorry, this is indeed a bug, let me explain, I originally designed to let the player not always hold down the left button, because after the time slows down you can easily pass by the enemy’s side, this way it lacks a lot of tension, so I added an over heat mechanism, when the explosion range rises to the maximum after a few seconds it will trigger this mechanism, it will make your explosion range slowly shrink and time flow speed recover, but I seem to have messed up, wait until the jam ends I will fix this bug.
Simple but challenging and fun as hell
Thanks, I'm glad you like it!!!
I'm bad at the game, but was fnu. (but barly manage to live 1mn)
You are better than me, I can only live 52 seconds.
I lie I lived around 42s, but hummmm.... it round to 1mn XD
The game is good, the mechanics are intuitive, unfortunately I couldn't complete the tutorial, other than that it's a good entry.
Sorry, there is indeed a bug in the tutorial. I will fix it after the jam ends.
Thank you for the playing!
I love the juice in this game. The screen shake, the animations, the particle effects, the sound effects, time moves slower the larger the circle is getting, it’s all really satisfying. The color palette and the animations are cute. I like that the hit box on the player is slightly smaller than the player, making the game more forgiving, and you get many “phew, the ghost almost hit me” moments, which is good. Add some music as well to make the game even more fun!
I think there’s a bug when we hold down the mouse button too long, when the circle starts shrinking once, it will never expand again.
Aha! You noticed the little details I designed! Yes, after completing the prototype, I have been testing the game balance for a whole week. About that bug, yes, it is indeed a bug. The intention was to punish the player when holding down the left mouse button, but it seems that it was not done well. I will fix it after the jam ends.
That was fun. Charging up my explosion while positioning to affect more ghosts feels good. Well done, and congrats making a simple and interesting game.
Thank you for the playing! I'm glad you enjoy it!
Ooooh the time slows down when charging the explosion, really cool mechanics ! I enjoyed the game, well done
Thanks, I was thinking a lot about that idea, pretty worth it
Simple but juicy.Good job!
哇!哪里的朋友!
哈哈，我浙江的。很巧在这里能遇到国人朋友，你做的好啊！
Nice!
Thanks!
Fun and simple game!
Thank you for playing
The gameplay is both simple and thought provoking as finding the best spot to explode is crucial to surviving. Very fun and well put together.
Great game!! I like the graphics and the gameplay. Simple and fun!
Good to know that, thanks!
Really simple yet effective game play mechanics, I loved it <3
I’m glad you like it!
Juicy game, love the retro graphics! So satisfying when you boom 30 at once! BTW what are those enemies called? Would be cool to see more enemies added! Good job for using JS! Keep up the good work!
Thank you, about the enemies, I call them: ghosts, And I’m not sure if I want to continue developing this project. I’ll think about it after the jam ends.
My favorite game I've tried so far, great job! The tutorial was a bit long but it was helpful
Sorry about that, because my English is not good, I have some difficulties in writing and reading, so the estimated time for making subtitles is a bit long. After the jam ends, I will fix some bugs and change the tutorial to trigger by clicking.
Nice and interesting idea. Good job!
Thank you for playing
