Well, it's very chaotic by design. I don't know exactly what was going on at any time, I don't necessarily understand why the bullets come back to hurt you. I do think that having some kind of level progression would help here. This way you can introduce the game's primary mechanics and the player can get a better grasp of what's going on. And after the introductions are done, then do a free play and see how long the player lasts. Other than that, that's all I have to say!
Really fun idea! very unique. It took me a little while to get the hang off but once I did I felt unstoppable! I especially liked when the zipline would change shape. Great job!
The music, sfx, sprites and animations are great.
I played for a few rounds and am not really sure what's going on. Hitting everything perfectly keeps the ziplinee straight which allows to hit stuff more easily. Missing once causes a fun downwards spiral of chaos.
I'm unsure if it's possible to get back to the straight zipline when you play perfectly for a while (because i didn't manage to play perfectly with a roller coaster zipline :D)
The music, sfx, sprites and animations are great. I like the aestethics. Would have been cool of the level moved left instead of the zipline, but it works the way you have it currently.
Overall you did a good job. The fun bits were very fun and it is also challenging.
Great stuff! Love the visuals and I really like the idea of the player's movement being determined by enemy behaviour (which I guess can in turn be loosely influenced by the player through choosing to spare/defeat enemies). Like some of the other commenters, I think this could stand to be better communicated by the game itself, though I appreciate that this is hard to do!
Wow, really unique and cool idea, with nice music and challenging gameplay too! And my best score is 245.
It's got some potential for future development. The art and music are pretty cool too.
Great art and music! My zipline got stuck in the same up down pattern but besides that, cool stuff!
Thanks for playing! The point was is that each enemy can change the zip-line route if you don't kill them before they do. So the enemy that comes from top to down is the one that makes the zipline have the same up-down pattern. The helicopter makes random patterns and the flying pink little guy (the helper) supposed to make it all flat again, so you probably don't want to hit it. But due to a game bug, it isn't working correctly. So hope that helps understand the intended mechanics!
Neat concept that uses the theme really well! I really like when the zipline goes all loopy, but wish the mechanic was explained a bit in the game itself.
Pixel-Art and the fitting soundtrack are very neat! I had some issues at the first curvy part where I cannot shoot the enemies fast enough.
"then it would immediately turn curvy", yep it's a bug. Other than that, the point of the game is that you cannot get hurt, but by yourself. This means that every time you miss, the bullet gets back to you. When you hit the fat guys they give you points, other enemies are there just to change the zipline route. Hope it's now clearer what was going on! Thanks for playing!
Really nice pixel art! The physics on the bullets are a bit crazy but it kinda makes it more fun. Good job on submitting it, had a good time playing a few rounds!
I had trouble figuring out how to play but the pixel art and music is really neat! Great work! Please do also check out me game and rate :)
