Hi there, I included your game in my gameplay video. Check it out here!
I like retro sci-fi style.
I haven't understood the theme part, what really happen if you kill more blue guys than red?
I've tried to kill only one color to see, but wasn't able to survive without killing both 🤣
I love that you have a README and License file (main criteria for open source category). Rather comprehensive and well structured repo, nice work!
Loving the sound effects! Music is great and I love that it gets louder when you start the wave. Graphics are artwork fit nicely with your game. I'm really enjoying the death animation... fireworks!
Super addictive, loving the use of an in-game shop, and the different balance bars are cool. Really good job and great work on a polished game. You've put a lot of work into this and it shows, kudos.
Thank you so much for taking notice of all our extra effort to keep our game extendable! We really wanted to build something that can go further than just this game jam and took a lot of inspiration from the corporate world as far as managing our collaboration effort.
So so glad you enjoyed the game, more to come!
Good luck for further releasing your game, and love all the collaboration you all did. Great work.
I appreciate all the effort you put in to rating people’s games! It was awesome to be able to go back and watch your gameplay on Twitch!
Anytime. You all put lots of effort into this game so I was happy to return the effort. Glad you got to go back and watch it on Twitch, will also upload to YouTube at a later late and post.
A fun game. I really liked the ability to fly, the store, the various abilities, and the multiple waves, all in just a few days.
I expect you've put a lot of effort into the game.
Well done! Great work!
I'd really appreciate it if you could try out my game too, rate it, and share your feedback. It would mean a lot!
Really solid! I think with more enemy variety and cleaning up the UI a bit, this could be a really sweet game!
Thanks so much for taking the time to play and for all the great feedback! I’m definitely planning to overhaul the shop UI. I made it in a rush, so there are a lot of things I missed. And as for Enemy Variety, we’re definitely planning to expand on that!
great mechanics loop - found myself wanting to optimize the build and jump right back in to the action!

I appreciate you taking the time to play it and post it! It was great to watch back your experience :)
A fun, vampire survivor-like, game with a new twist of balancing which enemies to kill. Well done!
Nailed it! Thanks for playing :)
I really like these rogue-like wave type games. I was able to get to wave 5 (first one after the boss) before the shop-button failed to appear, and the variety of power-ups & their rarity make for great replayability.
One thing i found though, the boss was quite easy but also super long because he had such high HP, maybe balancing it out a bit to have a shorter, more intense fight would be nice.
Anyway, great entry overall!
We appreciate the great feedback and the time you took to play our game! After the jam, we plan to push an update to fix many of those issues. :)
I like the game. Looks cool. But it is glitched. After wave 4 the shop button just not appears for me and I can't have next waves.
Thank you for taking the time to try it! We accidentally baked in that bug just before pushing it and didn’t catch it in time. If you’re interested in getting past Wave 4, you’ll have better luck on our dev build!
You can play it here on Github Pages!
I have played the dev build approximately for one hour and was able to get 8 level max. Too hard. Was not able to buy drone. Hard to get health regeneration. After boss the enemies moves extremely fast and all of them comes simultaneously. Looks like boss is not the hardest part but next levels are. Player moves some time after dead, so player can be dead, pickup life and play further. Some enemy death animation restarting if continiously shooted.
Summary - cool game, need to be improved.
cool game! the upgrade store was good, and it gave a vibe of bullet hell kind of game, i played two waves before i died lmao.
Great work on this project! I can't believe that ya'll did this much work in such a short time frame!
Base gameplay and loop are great, and I love the store with purchased upgrades and skill point upgrades as well!
Too bad for the bugs; I got up to wave 4 and was rolling until it wouldn't let me advance. I'll try again later if you think that sometimes it will let you advance.
Would love to play an updated copy after the jam once you iron some bugs out, etc.
Even the game name is about balance >_<
btw good job on the game, the music fits the game well :D
Thank you for taking the time to play the game. The music is made by a guy named One Man Symphony. He has an amazing collection of music and sfx for games that you can use for free. Highly recommend his stuff.
A pity that you had last minute bugs, but hey, it happens! it seemed like you had a great game for the jam, Hopefully you keep working on it! The game got stuck after wave 1, so I couldn't experience much of it, but I did have fun clearing that wave! congrats on your submission!
Thank you very much! We are 100% still working on it, if youre interested in getting past Wave 1 you'll have better luck on our dev build!
You can play it here on Github Pages!
That was really fun :)
Sadly i got stuck on one wave and the next one wouldnt load
If youd like there is a link to our up to date Development branch hosted on Github, we have fixed some of the major bugs from release :)
You can play it here if youd like
A solid game through and through. The audio , gameplay was very nice. I just don't think it fit the theme very well
Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to try the game!
Our idea for the theme was to display the Chaos meter at the top of the screen. The more unbalanced it becomes, the more chaotic it gets. Unfortunately, we encountered some bugs during our final push, so our implementation isn’t as sound as it should be right now. If you click the “Game Lore” button on the main menu, you’ll find some information about the Chaos meter there.
Oh!! Shame, that would have been very fun, though !
Quite fun game. Replayable one.
Thanks a bunch for playing the game! We’re thrilled you liked the idea and the gameplay. We’re super excited to fix these bugs so you can fully experience the chaos and unique elements of the game.
Nice vampire survivor like, quite addictive :)
Thank you so much for playing!
I’ve always been a huge fan of these types of games in college, and I’ve always dreamed of creating one of our own. We’re so proud of the concept we’ve come up with, and we can’t wait to fix these bugs and give people a much more authentic experience!
I really liked it, it’s the kind of addictive game with mechanics a bit like Vampire Survivor (but here you actually aim), Great game! Enemies hit really really hard haha
Some small feedbacks in my head:
- I had one run that bugged (I got stuck on a wave even though I defeated all the enemies), but on my second run it worked fine!
- The music go high at the beginning then slow, but I don't know if it is the original sound or code based.
Thank you so much for the feedback! We are so glad you enjoyed the game.
I wanna apologize for that error on the waves ending, we pushed some last minute code that effected our enemy spawning logic and we didnt get a chance to fully test it haha.
For the music bug I was trying to diagnose that issue with it being so loud at start but unfortunately ran out of time before finding the issue.
