Great concept for great game. Rated it!

Developer

Cheers, thank you very much :)

Submitted

More fun than I expected, neat and is the third time I am playing it haha. Well done! :)

Developer

Haha Awesome! :)
Thanks for giving it a try.

Submitted

Banger game! Love all the different actions you can take and how the game rewards you differently for each of them! 

Developer

Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it :)

Submitted

Quite stylish and fun to play! The combat is pretty simple, I found it much easier to dash away from enemies and shoot that at a distance than to try and dodge their attacks, but perhaps I would have gotten more trick points if I'd done it the other way.

The bosses are predictable in their actions but when they hit, they hit very hard. I don't think they regular enemies ever got a chance to hit me thanks to the dash.


Developer(+1)

Nice score! :)
Yeah the dash is a little OP. Could use a bit of tweaking of the i-frames or maybe add in a cooldown.
Thanks for giving this a go.

Submitted

Wow awesome job, you were really able to get so much done! It was a lot of fun and the music is a really good fit for the mood :)

Developer

Thanks. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it and I appreicate you giving it a go :)

Submitted

This one is fun! I made it pretty far but Dave got me in the end. Well done!

Developer

Awesome, thanks for playing.
Yeah that Dave is a tricky one :)

Submitted

Genuinely great fun, and displays excellent instincts on your part. Love the angular art style and setting(s) you chose. Good Sound FX as well. Appropriate challenge, just maybe could use a little tuning on a few things like maybe the boss telegraphing their attacks a bit more to give you a chance to get out of the way, or a more generous dodge, or even perhaps a faster dimensional warp so you can use that for evasion in a pinch as well. Overall, had much fun, really enjoyed this one.

Developer

Cheers, yeah I think I cheaped out on the bosses a bit by lowering their cooldowns just so I could get something 'tough', but maybe went too far in the wrong direction :)
Thanks for playing.

Submitted

Wow, absolutely blown away by how much you got done in the time! Loved the switching dimensions mechanic, and it felt great to control, particularly love double tapping the directions to dodge.

Great work!

Developer(+1)

Cheers, I'm glad you like the controls.
Getting the double-tap working was weirdly a lot more confusing than I thought it would be :P
Thanks for giving this a shot. :)

Submitted

It's always a DAVE isn't it... :D Fun little game, the avoiding of the enemy attacks was made a bit hard (not the baseball attacks, but the "boss" attacks). Music and the transitions are well done and I liked the whole vibe of the game! Good work! :) First level boss when I ran out of ammo, it seemed like it wasn't accepting spacebar for some reason to warp back at first, I started spamming every button imagenable, since I thought I missed the return back to reality button, but I think I hit space again and it worked. Could have just been a user error or a small bug perhaps, or just to do that it didn't recognise my space input.

Developer(+1)

Haha yeah you got watch out for those Daves :P
Sorry to hear about the warp issue, definitely sounds like a bug.
Might be that it only accepts the input in the Idle state? So if you were pressing it while moving maybe it wasnt accepting it. I'll need to look into that.
But thanks for giving this a go :)

Submitted

I liked the game! I would like the player to be faster because is so difficult to dodge enemy bullets.
Congrats.

Developer

Cheers. Thanks for playing the game. :)
Yeah thats a good point. Those projectiles are a bit mean.

Submitted

One of the funniest games I played in this Jam. I just like the scene music transition, it's so smooth and the rhythme just switch smoothly, and the easy q, e, space interact with the left right enemy comes in, great ideas, I love the game, great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks :)
Getting the volume transition to work was tricky. Glad you liked it.

Submitted

Small but very nice game.  Congratulations!

Developer

Thanks :)

Submitted

A fun little game! I liked the boss fight.

Developer (1 edit)

Awesome. Thanks for giving it a play. :)

Submitted

A good fun game

Developer

Cheers. Thanks for giving it a go :)

Submitted

That was fun - It was a blast going through all the cool environments you built

Developer

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the scenery. It was good fun to make them :)

Submitted

Nice one!. Like the Jonh Gunman theme and the different mechanics 😄.

The exe games I have to emulate them, so sadly I wasn't able to progress a lot. I was able to play the first scene tho, but later on it crashes for me. Is there a way to play it on the browser? 🤞.

Otherwise what I managed to play was quite enjoyable. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for giving this a try. I appreciate the time, sorry you had difficulty with it.
I've not actually looked into getting it playable on a browser. I should see if thats possible with gamemaker.

Submitted

Good game and mechanics)) Thanks!)

Developer

Cheers and thank you for taking the time to give it a go.

Submitted

Super Impressive game. I loved the John Wick vibe. It definitely gave me some through back strong bad vibes as well. I thoroughly enjoyed this game, even while be splaterficated by a tenticelled alien. Awesome job!

Developer(+1)

Haha, I need to use the word Splaterficated more often. Thanks for giving this a shot. :)

was truly my pleasure so far your game has been one of my favorites
