Played and rated. Nice little game, congrats for this game jam!
I enjoyed playing. The game is simple but fun. The theme is well used and we can feel the increase of power every death. Overall a good simple game for a game jam, I don't really see missing parts, only the quality that can increase. But for a game jam it's totally good, great work! :)
Thank you!
Nice work on this! It’s a simple but very well put together experience. I have two main nitpicks:
I think the progression is a little bit slow, but otherwise you made a very solid horde experience with enemy types that build off of each other well. Nice work!
Thanks for the feedback! I never really considered the distance to the player, because you need to die. But I get it, that it can feel unfair!
Thanks a lot for playing, did you use the cheat-button at the end i hope? Otherwise you would waste to much time :D
I scoffed at your offer and upgraded the hard way.
It did take quite a bit of time, and I think I made a mistake in my original decision. :|
Lesson learned: You don't scoff at offers :P
"I don't need drugs... scripts are MY lines!"
Best quote this game, haha!
The game gives me a need for speed! (not at all related to the previous quote) And I mean running around faster than your bullets kind of fast. That was the main highlight of your game for me and it was a really fun new kind of challenge for me.
Hahaha! Need for speed!
Yeah, I really wanted to make you a superhuman at the end of the game, so that was one indication for that :P And the jumps, that are more a flying around at the end :D
OMG. I beat the final red boss guy! Maybe I should have upgraded my weapons more, I was shooting him for a good 10+ minutes, lol. Awesome game, this is the most fun I've had yet in this jam! Well done!
Thank you very much!
NICE ONE! Had fun!
Good game. Love the dying to upgrade but gets a bit tedious after awhile. Otherwise it is a lot of fun. Well done.
So sad, I missed it in the stream... I had big internet problems... do you have a video to share? I love live feedback :P
Your laugh is contagious :D
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1314924123 it was in this stream :)
Thank you!
Sadly it's not in this one...
Man I am so sorry. I did stream it live but I just checked through the videos and i noticed there a re more than i actually made. On closer inspection i saw that they were acually being split. On further investigation i discovered that one or 2 of the games i played pulled so much resource that it killed the stream and only later refreshed and then started a new stream. So while i thought i was live i was in fact not for awhile and 3 to 4 games i played weren't on the stream.
I've added it to the list for tomorrow again. Will make sure I play it first. Have already rated but will make sure you get a live show. :) Really sorry for that. I'm still new to streaming and havent got it down to t yet.
Playing submissions for the Gamedev.TV Game Jam https://itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-jam-2022 #GDTVJAM - Twitch
I played like 30 minutes this time to make sure if it does break it will get something hahaha. You need a high score system cos second time round I feel like I'm starting master it. Hahahaha
This game is really cool! I loved the game loop and played it for far more than 3 deaths before cheating but I appreciated that option being there for the sake of a game jam. Great submission!
Great submission, was a bit annoyed at first with not being able to jump as high as I expected but then realized you upgrade every time you die, great concept and good take on the theme! Well done!
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
If you want to try mine it's really short XD
this is so addictive i loved it!
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
I will! As soon as I'm on my PC again.
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 🙌
I am using a capsule :)
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.
Thanks for the feedback! These would have been really good additions!
Nice game, reminds me of duke nukem with ghosts!
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
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!
Thank you :D
