really fun but why z to start game it took me a while to figure out but overall polish and fun game. and good job on making a game in 48 hours
Thank you! Z is actually pretty much the standard "confirm/shoot" button for this genre, but it was admittedly pretty foolish of me to not explain it in-game at least. For now, I've updated the game's page to explain things a little better!
your dev handle is no joke— this game is quite good looking!
i really like this one and i greatly enjoy how it subverts the typical shmup expectation to be always shooting. my main struggle is that the controls are a bit too touchy. implementing a touhou-style focus button would go a long way towards giving the player more finesse regarding movement
Thank you! I actually only chose this name because I thought I was being funny by putting an eye on a piece of candy for my logo, I'm pretty terrible at art haha.
I was considering adding a focus button but I felt like that would make the controls a bit messy since shooting for too long also lowers your speed, which is where a lot of the risk-reward comes in for scoring. Then again, I kinda went overboard with the number of bullets in the latter half of the game, my goal at first was to have fewer but faster bullets. I guess I kinda lost control myself lol
Please put control instructions in the game, out of the 104 keys on my keyboard, discovering that Z is the one i need to press to start the game is a pretty slim chance. After discovering the readme file I was able to play, and glad I did! This is a great concept and a fun game. Graphics and responsiveness were great, and sound was very complimentary. I could easily see this as a full game with more time and love.
Thank you! I kinda forgot about explaining the controls in-game, I've updated the page to mention that they're in the readme for now.
I am planning to make a short full game out of this at some point, I'm working on something else right now but I'll definitely come back to this!
I love it! Really nice mechanic of having me want to charge up the really powerful shot but it making me slow at the same time. The bullet hell felt very fair too, even for me who is not very good at that genre. I just wish the controls were written somewhere.
Please check out and rate the game "Foobar" that I worked on for the Jam if you have the time!
said its a virus but i download it anyway and i can say to anyone that want to play that it DOES NOT have any kind of viruses
pretty good and satisfying game overall
Game looks/feels great, I'd prefer different controls but that doesn't really matter. Seems like a pretty standard bullet hell game from what I've seen of the genre.
exe detected as virus threat.
Really? That's weird... I can assure you that the game is virus-free but I understand if you'd rather not play it anyway.
It's a pity it looked pretty cool. Can't rate it anyway now. :/
Yea it won't let me copy the file anyway.
