How does your game fit the theme?
I used the theme to make the player constantly scale up and some enemies will scale and get stronger if they scale

This game didn’t quite hit for me unfortunately, but its possibly because the enemy spawn rate initially is really slow. I have the following feedback on things I felt could be better:
The background is way too bright and draws too much attention. For a long time, I thought that I had to collect those background confetti objects to grow until I realized that you just grew over time by default.
The bullets could be a bit bigger. Some hit SFX would also be neat.
The camera could be more zoomed out initially since a lot of the enemies weren’t visible.
The dash ability felt a bit stiff.
I’m not sure if this was a bug, but one time I randomly collided into an enemy and we were just kinda chilling together.
The particle effect explosion when an enemy dies was quite nice though! I think the main thing working against this game is that the balancing is a bit off, but that’s always hard to get right in a game jam. I think this was a good attempt, just probably not my cup of tea!
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for being honest ❤️
Love the visuals, I think the camera needs to zoom out a little more in the beginning. I killed several enemies before I even saw them, I just saw the explosions. Speaking of, the explosions are great. Add some screen shake and sound effects and I think you'd have a really exciting energetic game! Well done!
Thanks!
Great! Got to level 42!
Fun game! It is cool that your player scales up over time. The enemies get really big too! I think it would be nice to have some visual or audio feedback when you are getting hit or damaging enemies. Some enemy variety would be great too. I also thought the ui was kind of big and it takes a while for enemies to spawn at the beginning. You have a really nice system here and I hope you will expand it. Great work!
Really cool! although at first i thought i was supposed to collect the little glowing squares. took me a bit to realise that it was just a background
I really like how simple yet colorful the art style is. I felt that the pace of the game needed to be a bit faster, but otherwise it was fun.
Quite a fun game ! A bit slow in the beginning but starts to be more thrilling as you go on ! Love it :)
This game, although slow in the start, becomes very thrilling as you start needing to dodge and weave through enemies! Overall enjoyment is maxed out!
Nice! I managed to level my orb up to level 12, functional lil bullet storm! I think I was able to cap-out my fire-rate after a few upgrades which was a little strange since I really felt like I needed the fire-power in the latter half. I also wasn't quite sure what exactly causes the player to shrink/grow?
Great job getting this in on time, I especially like the background and the alien design ^^
Tysm for playing! The player grows constantly and shrinks when an alien is killed, i know it is not balanced to well and i am sorry for that i was running low on time. Great game btw ❤️
noice, pretty basic though, but noice
thanks, i had more cards and enemies planned but i ran out of time :/
