I really enjoyed the gameplay loop. Great work on the powerups. The only thing that was missing were more sfx.
Otherwise, excellent work!
Thank you for playing! I definitely wanted to put more sound effects for the weapons but ran out of time to properly test them before the jam ended so I left this build as the final one. I already have an updated build working so they should be added pretty soon :)
A very fun game! Controls were a little wonky, but I played it for longer than I thought I would, which is huge! Awesome work!
I'm glad you liked it! I was experimenting with the Command design pattern to make players and enemies use the same motion component so that probably affected the movement a bit. Thank you for playing!
I really liked the survivors style as a sidescroller, I can easily see playing this with more abilities. It's a bummer the level is the same but that's the way of the jam.
There was so much more I wanted to add but the jam timer is brutal lol. I am definitely going to clean it up and add more to this project.
very cool concept, cute character sprite and animations, solid gameplay loop, i enjoyed the abilities that i did have and i would like to see how this game would look if it were fleshed out! as a previous comment mentioned i would've liked a stronger emphasis on the theme, and it would be cool if there was level variety or maybe even procedurally generated levels. overall very solid and fun!
Thank you for enjoying my game!
This game definitely changed a lot during development lol. Originally it was going to be a top-down survivors game where you defend a vault that could also be upgraded to fight back. The original idea I had was a lot more "tower-defense" themed and I am definitely going to spend a few weeks adding the things I had planned. (And untangling the mess of code written at the end :)
Have fun with the other submissions!
I really like vampire survivors and I this concept excited me. I would have like to have seen more platforming to move up the "tower" and I Think that could have helped sell the theme more as well. Powers are cool but the game gets pretty laggy as it progresses . Perhaps a exe version would hold up longer. I got to level 12 but didn't know if there was an end or how far it was so I stopped. I would have like to have know levels of my abilities and perhaps what upgrading was doing. The orbs should spread out from each other. I had like 10 all smooshed to one side.
Thanks for the game!
Thank you for playing!
I want to keep working on this after the jam ends so your feedback is really nice. Moving up and tower would be really cool to implement so I want to try doing that next after cleaning up the spaghetti I made just to finish the game. I definitely wanted to add some weapon info/polish and Risk of Rain like descriptions to the side with their bonuses. I implemented a spawn cap for the enemies to try and help the lag on html exports but they still ended up being too powerful in the end.
Have a good jam!
