  • Ionclad is a really captivating game which you protect your core from the restless wave of enemy ships coming upon you. You have the energy power which is circular yet when you aim and click, you can channel it onto one way, which is visually really pleasant to see. Music is taking to the deeper, having variety of different attack styles would definitely something I'd look for!

Hi!

New High Score: 462060!

I liked spinning in all directions :). I only figured out how to get extra health at the end. Everything is cool. The only thing is that loading was a little long and sometimes hung, probably because of the large number of enemies on the radar :). Congratulations!

Wow I loved everything bout this great work

Very cool visual style that paired well with the music. A part of me wonders if the enemies came at you a bit faster it would have more of a bullet hell kind of vibe. Idk. Good entry. 

Developer(+1)

Ohhh I like that idea. It’s always hard to balance be difficulty with these kinds of games, but I can definitely see a faster paced version being super fun!

Really creative concept, well done!

Great game! The sound and VFX make a nice combination. I enjoyed seeing a lot of space ships getting blasted by the tesla coil.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! We’re really happy with how it turned out.

Great music (a bit loud, but I can just reduce the volume on my headest.) Love the tesla coil effect going on, and blasting tons of space ships with a ton of effects are really satisfying.

Developer

So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing!

I loved it! Music is great, art is great, effects are great and the gameplay is intresting. It's Tempest but reverse and i LOVE Tempest! Manage to do almost 200k. Keep up the good work!

Cool concept & take on the theme. Soundtrack is hype! The animations & visual effects on the plasma ball are awesome. Game is balanced at a good level of difficulty to be challenging and replayable. Great job!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing!

Really cool to see people enjoying the game, we’re really proud of it ☺️

Visuals goes hard, gameplay goes hard, music goes harder

We have our musician a brief description of the game and he wrote it in a day. Dude is an absolute genius.

Submitted(+1)

Wow! The distortion on the blast! Awesome game, good graphics, very hard though. Well done!

Developer

Haha yeah we tried to push ourselves on graphics this time as it’s normally our weakest area.

Thanks for playing!

The controls are so satisfying and fun!! The art and music bring back some nostalgia of going to the arcade as a kid playing mine-sweeper games :)

Developer

Thanks for playing! So glad you enjoyed it 😁

Submitted(+1)

This is great, just needs a leaderboard :)

Developer

Oh man you are so right!

Submitted(+2)

The plasma ball effect is super well done, so cool :) Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much!

The tendrils are cubic bezier curves and we’re just tweening the control points randomly between some max and min values, it’s surprisingly performant!

Submitted(+2)

Damn! Amazing concept and satisfying animations. Loved it, bravo!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

We had a lot of fun making it, really happy to see people enjoying it ☺️

Pretty banger tune! Straightforward game but quite satisfying to play. The sound blast at the end made me crack up.

Developer

Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it.

Nice graphics and color palette. The soundtrack is brilliant too. I think at some points you may have had too many enemies on screen at once because game got laggy for me on a pretty beefy desktop rig.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing!

Yeah tuning the difficulty ramp was pretty tricky, didn’t want it to be too easy!
