Simple but intense game. I think I would have preferred being able to aim and shoot with the mouse

A game mechanic based around the most hated item in The Binding of Isaac. Isaac's Heart is not a popular item! Can't say I enjoyed this one much, sorry.

But well done for making a game at all. It's a real achievement just to finish and submit a game.

I beat the game without shooting, just circled the screen the entire time. Music got a bit repetitive. An alright little game, didn't overstay its welcome.

Its interesting that you were able to do that, I didn’t do much testing though so there’s probably a lot of exploits. I honestly failed to forsee how the music needed some more instruments and parts to not be annoying, so that’s probably my fault.

Silly fun and a good idea. Music is annoying, though and I would like to be able to shoot in 8 directions.

The shooting was inspired from the binding of Isaac, and I honestly have always wanted to try that kind of shooting, so I tried it here. It didn’t end up fitting well, honestly, I guess I just tried to force it in too much. Also the music probably needed some more time to develop but I was in a bit of a rush and ended up just making something really basic.

That's funny, because it's sopmething that bothers me about Binding of Isaac :)

And yeah, things like proper music are probably the first things to suffer from a 48h deadline, so that's understandable.

it is quite difficult for me to coordinate the arrows for shooting instead of move with them. The sound is a little irritating when you are about 2 minutes playing. The rest is ok, well done

Yeah, for the shooting I wanted to try out something similar to the binding of Isaac, but it turns out that there’s a lot more to the shooting in that game that makes it good.  As for the music, I get how it could be irritating and I probably should have made it a bit longer with some different parts. Oh well.

Super loud music

Reply

Sorry about that, I usually have my volume on my computer pretty low so I didn’t really notice. I’ll try to keep it quieter next time.

Dont worry, it's just a minor problem ^^
