hahaha really nice game! I had to set the mouse on triple click action in order to beat so it's kinda cheating but I liked the chaos
So many of them! I liked it, good job on the game!
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it.
Fun but hard! Player controller feels great!
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked the player controller. Yeah I definitely need to do something about the difficulty in future. Thanks for your feedback!
Fun game! Couldn't manage to break them all, it's pretty difficult. Would be nice if you could autofire by holding space because it's a little tiring mashing it. Love the pixel art!
Thank you for playing! I’ll add a setting to change the controls (hold/press) in future. Glad you loved the pixel art, I’m just starting out in the pixel art and your comment means a lot. Thanks Again!
Holy cow that was hectic!! Loved it though! Great job :)
Thank you so much for playing! Glad you loved it.
This is solid, I got hooked and want to win but couldnt yet. I played it on my youtube channel and gave my throughts if you want to check it out you can here
Thank you so much for playing! and thanks for featuring the game in your video, I really appreciate that. I’ll definitely try to improve upon the camera feel. Just started out in Godot and figuring things out as I go. Thanks again for playing!
Bro, what the .. did I just play haha, this is so hard, but I love it, it is fun and stressing even though I couldn't win :)
Good job!
Thanks for playing! What the pod?! isn’t it? LOL. Glad you loved the game. You’ll beat it for sure. Thanks again for playing!
That was super hard! I liked the mechanic but I think I would have appreciated a little more ramp-up in difficulty. Also, what were those little bottles scattered around? I kept thinking they were HP powerups but couldn't seem to pick them up. Cool game but I personally needed a little bit more hand-holding.
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked the mechanics. I’ll surely consider ramping up the difficulty slowly in future. The things on the ground are something I was experimenting with just to make the level a little less empty but forgot to remove them. They’re confusing for sure, I’ll remove them.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Oops! Sorry 😅
Definitely a very difficult game, at least to start. Concept and controls are well done, but maybe balance the enemies a little more? Overall, good job!
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked the concept. I’ll surely try ramping the difficulty in future.
The game starts on a very hard level. Please add some easy levels first.
Thanks for your feedback! Yeah the game starts off pretty challenging, I wanted it to be challenging but I think I should add an easy mode. Thanks again for your feedback!
I think I've strained a muscle trying to press the spacebar fast enough to shot. :D
Nice controls and movement, mad gameplay :). Very last stand theme :)
Sorry for the spacebar workout 😅. I’m glad you like the controls and movement. Thank you so much for playing!
lol. What the pod indeed. Had to run around in circles. Beat it but no way you can win this by shooting with the mouse.
Glad you enjoyed it. Running around in circles is definitely the strategy, Thanks you so much for playing!
Nice short game! It is definitely difficult, but has easy controls and a cool atmosphere!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Phew! I managed to find a strategy to win! Really tough game and thank goodness I could use spacebar to shoot, there was no way I could click my mouse fast enough! (Even better would be controller support!)
Pretty epic music helping to elevate the tense atmosphere of staying one step ahead of the endlessly spawning enemies, trying desperately to take down the pods without getting caught or trapped!
Haha! Thank you so much for your feedback. Those enemies are challenging for sure, Congrats! on beating the game. I’ll definitely add controller support in future. Thanks you so much for playing!
Very tough to shoot the pods and the enemies.
Thanks for your feedback! I actually wanted the game to be challenging, but I understand it can be very tough sometimes. I’ll keep this in mind for future improvements. Thanks for playing and sharing your thoughts!
Nice work ishan bhai yt channel hai?
Thank you so much for playing! Glad you enjoyed the game. Yes I do have a YouTube Channel but it is as good as non existent, I haven’t started uploading yet.
Ok socha tha devlog dekhunga discord hai or any socials? Baat karni hai
Sorry, Not on any social media platform man!
Quite fun but super hard. Jesus you definately captured the last stand theme well though. Those guys sure are hard to put down. Maybe some health potions would be nice to help with difficulty. Also auto fire might help to save with mouse clicks or space bar slams.
Thanks for your feedback! I’m glad you found the game fun, even though it’s super hard. I actually found it tough while testing too, but it also felt doable, which made it fun in my opinion. That’s why I kept the difficulty as it is. I’m happy to hear you think the ‘Last Stand’ theme came through well! I’ll definitely consider adding health potions and auto-fire to help with the difficulty. Thanks for playing and sharing your thoughts
Nice game man but very hard to get these guys down. What are the items on the floor, I though it was some kind of health potion?! Nice artwork, really like your pixel art :)
Thanks for your feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed the game, even though it’s tough to take down the enemies. The items on the floor are actually just random props that I was experimenting with to make the level look less empty, but I see how that could be confusing. I’ll keep that in mind for the future. I’m thrilled you like the artwork! I created the characters and pods myself, but the tilemap is from Kenney’s assets. I’m just starting out in pixel art, so your compliment means a lot!
good music better idea and a very well crafted game feel for a game jam
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad that you enjoyed the music and liked the game idea. Thank you so much for playing!
