This game was really cool! Overall it felt great but one thing that could be better is some kind of telegraph for the triangles, and maybe bigger bullets. Other than that, I had a lot of fun playing.

Nice game! My favorite is the triangle :D

I'm sooo bad with the circle though. Once I start getting in a groove I can get decently far but sometimes my aim is just terrible lol. I really enjoy the premise, and your music and general aesthetic really contributes a lot to the game. Had a lot of fun with it, kind of interested in what you imagine the other shapes can do!! I imagine hexagons would be pretty sick. Great work!

ty so much! I really liked your game too!

Super fun game!

The different shapes and their attack abilities all feel good as well as purposeful. 

The lighting a great touch on the art, it makes the game feel and look incredible despite the simple graphics.

If you wanted to keep building, some sort of counter towards how long the player lasted or how many the host was able to infect would be great!

Quality work. Best of luck in your future game dev!

Larger hitboxes, more "juice" and you'd have a pretty great game here :)

Developer

Thanks!

I really like the idea but those hit boxes not messing around. It was too hard for my taste. I was playing with stylus, but I think it's equally so with mouse. Same goes for the time given. For me It was Sekiro level of frustration :) Especially when I managed to hit the triangle. The game ended almost instantly.  That would be my only issues with the game. Otherwise it's pretty great concept, I'd like to see more of it in the future.

Developer

Thanks!

Balancing is definitely needed, i found it pretty hard to hit enemies. For 48 hours though? not bad at all

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I totally agree that I made it too difficult for a game jam.

A bit hard to get into but when you do it feels great and almost a it addictive hehe! Think it would be nice if the triangle enemy's attack was telegraphed in some way tho, as it feels very surprising and unfair when dying to it. Overall still a great game!

Developer

Thanks! I totally agree about the triangle thing.

Thank you!

Nice! Good job on making something so unique as your first game. For some reason, it's super laggy on my computer so i can't really give critique, aside from the music abruptly cutting when you die

Developer

I'm sorry about the lag. If you download the windows build it might be better. Thanks for the feedback!
