Good and simple game! Great the cheat idea! XD

Can be a good thing to have some feedback when you have reloaded

Excatly my thoughts! This button is just there for the jam. You can beat the game with about half the levels in each skill and in like 40 min. But that's just too darn long for a jam with 900+ games to vote...

Thanks for trying my game :P

Hey,

funny game. had a realy good time while playing it. A "reload timer"  in the gui were nice. Overall a very very good entry of the Jam!


it would be nice if you would test my game too. Although I didn't quite finish it, I put a lot of time into it. https://itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-jam-2022/rate/1539557

Thank you for adding that TLTG button haha had a lot of fun with that, At first, I was thinking this would take ages to level up haha only feedback about the game that would need improvement is the player collider, I think you are using a box collider? feel free to correct me on this but when hitting the edge,  it like boosts my movement after passing the edge because of that. if so, using a capsule collider would make it smoother. Just a heads up for the next game 🙌

Nice game. As you said in the TLTG button, the game need to be more balanced.

Great work.

Thank you :D

It is doable without the button, but takes about 40 min :D

I like your particle effects that look like fireworks. They add a lot. I really wish there was a visual to show me when I can fire again, though. I felt like I was spam clicking a lot and didn't know when I would be able to fire again.

Somebody else said that too. I will consider this for my next game. 

Thank you!

A short and fun game.  It was getting kinda grindy, glad that you added that tilt button, for a second I thought that it was an endless game and then the boss appeared.  Overall great job.

Yeah, beacause of the game-jam i added this button :D

Otherwise you would have about 40 min to complete the game.

I enjoyed but as previously stated a reload timer would have been fantastic!

Indeed!

I really enjoyed the game once I got some upgrades going. The core concept is really good. I think you need to boost the starting values for jump, and you really need some kind of indicator for the shooting cool down. Not knowing when I could fire again caused many of my deaths. It may also be a good idea to get a health indicator on the ghosts. Again, I want to say I really enjoyed this once I got some upgrades under my belt.

It's a nice looking, simple game. It could be better if I saw health and points but Idk why it didnt appear even in fullscreen.

Hmm yeah since the latest "bugfix" i can't see the points... but sound is there.

Oh, I actually did not recognize that. Sorry, it is my fault. It is nicely tuned actually.

points should be fixed

PatrickZochAlvesSubmitted3 years ago

I really didn't understood why I couldn't jump. And then I died and everything became clear! :-D Had a lot of fun killing the ghosts and had a nice difficulty curve. Until I found the magic button! I pressed and upgraded everything to the max - I was too strong ;-) Nicely done!

Nice work - had really fun! for the falling coins that are unreachable… if they reach the bottom of the level, let them drop from above. YES they may land on a very high platform — that should be enough motivation to skill up jumping fast ;-)

Loved the upgrade options. ghosts could push the coin to unreachable positions please fix that.

Phoenix GamesDeveloper3 years ago

I will try, but I don't really know how... they are ghosts after all and should fly through everything... Have you a suggestion?

Reply
NS StudiosSubmitted3 years ago(+1)

Making tags would work if you are using OnTriggerEnter in unity.

Reply
Phoenix GamesDeveloper3 years ago

If you have a moment, could you give it another try? I think i fixed it... buts tags are no-good with webgl...

Reply
NS StudiosSubmitted3 years ago(+1)

i think you have fixed it I couldn't encounter the problem from before.

i think you should increase the coin. otherwise everything is so expensive :D i liked the powerups. an i found an error. sometimes coins are droping through ground like the image which i add. and i cannot collecting. congrats for submission

I know, sadly... but if you play far enough a single coin doesn't matter anymore :P

Yes that's an excuse, while I'm searching for a solution :D

This game kept me on edge and was difficult at first. Liked the idea of upgrades and the fact that new enemy types start appearing the longer you stay alive, awesome game

Pretty fun, though it was difficult not to get overrun with the slow reload. Loved that you get to spend coins to upgrade when you die.

Hey! Loved the style, but ran into a bug. When You die and go back to the start menu and try to replay, your character dissappears for good! Let me know when fixed and Ill stop back
