Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • Really fun and very polished, I really enjoyed it! I wish it had more levels with different difficulties but great game overall.
  • This is a nice take on the theme, really gives off classic arcade vibes, which I love to see. Visually it's incredibly attractive, and the sfx are nice and satisfying. It is super polished, which makes the whole thing feel like a "real" game, not a jam game. It would make a cool mobile game I think! I do have one minor complaint (and it is MINOR!) - with the scoring, for casual play you get so many points in the last room that none of the others end up mattering too much! When you're really playing for the high score, every point & every second counts, and that feels good, but then randomness in the last room lets it down! You can lose a bunch of points just by rolling a poor room layout. Like I said, very minor - that's the only thing I can really complain about in this game 😂 well done!

How does your game relate to the theme?
You shoot only one laser, and it has to kill all enemies. Every millisecond counts toward your score so you can always try to get a higher one.

Awesome simple gameplay with great replayability!

I really enjoyed it and also thought the enemies were twerking spiders or crabs with their backs turned to me

One of the two one shot bouncing around the level game! Super polished & a full complete game, great attention to details as well. I really do think you should pursue this for a full steam release. The fact that the bullet goes on forever is great game design as the bullet running out of energy. So the player can just wait & wait or restart to try again with better angles. There are two things that I think could be done better which is:  the levels could be more complex as that would add layers of depth to the game & I think adding the time to the scoring system would really motivate the player to try again & again. But those would be good if you're planning to go for the steam release 😉Otherwise, it's awesome for a jam entry! Well Done! 👏

Short and sweet! This was really well put together. I loved the quick load time, simple concept, and how it effectively made me want to get the best score possible.

There's 2 things I would have liked to see which I think would have made me want to chase that top leaderboard spot even more:

1. The ability to restart a level to try and get a better score once it is completed. Or alternatively, let me go replay a specific level, and then have my leaderboard spot be a combination of my best score from all levels! 

2. Knowing what the maximum time bonus I can get is - I think it would be satisfying to see something like 200/200 to know that I completed the level as fast as possible.

Very well made!

Sniper and one shot , well put together ! good game , i was playing similar game back in 2011 on web , it gives me nostalgia , great works !

Developer

Good day and thank you for wonderful feedback about our game entry! The game is inspired from NItrome games, especially when it comes to art direction. I'm also fan of 2010s or earlier mobile, web and flash games which gives us an idea to develop our game project for this jam.

Thanks for playing our game entry.

Super fun. I played this all the way through a couple of times until I was able to hone my style. 4434 is my best score and managed to take the top leaderboard place!

Really well crafted, solid game. I second others opinions that if you made this a mobile app, people would play it like crazy.

Developer(+1)

4434 is a huge score you've acquired! Congratulations!

Also, our sincere gratitude for playing our game entry for this gamejam and we're glad you find our game super fun to play. Furthermore, thank you for your wonderful feedback about our game entry. We will expand our game with more levels, features, enemies and such if we plan to continue our project after this jam. :)

Thanks for playing our game entry.

Wow, this is my favourite so far.  I'll have to settle with 2nd place for now, but I will find the optimal route, I will catch that star in level 5 or whatever... Man... Very well done

Developer

very fun game, replaying the levels and figuring out how to maximize score is fun, i wish the scoring sometimes didn't incentivize stars over time score but that's a nitpick, good job!

Very fun game. repeated the levels more than once to get on the leader board. great entry

Great game, I don't understand how the score works. But great game and I would like to see it in some store

Submitted

You dont start scoring big scores til you find the optimum route on each level. You have to make sure you hit restart before you get all the targets on slow levels or your score will tank. Every level is crucial

Developer

Hopefully if we plan to continue our game entry after this jam, you will see it on store someday in the future. We're glad that you find our game great and we appreciate your feedback.

Thank you for playing our game entry. :)

Great game bro! Simple ideas done well are better than deep ideas executed shallow. This would have also made a great entry for scorespace jam.

Good looking, well-scoped, arcadey. Good theme match. Scales well. Nice polish on leaderboard visuals. I don't really have anything bad to say about this. I'd welcome a max time so if you miss a shot and it takes more than the time threshold you simply lose.

Developer

Good day and thank you for your feedback regarding to our game entry. We're also glad that you find our game good looking which I appreciate the most. Furthermore, we're also glad that you find our game theme a good match for this gamejam. Also, thank you for your feedback regarding to the leaderboard.

> I'd welcome a max time so if you miss a shot and it takes more than the time threshold you simply lose.
I'd say that's one of a good idea for us to implement on our game entry.

Any constructive feedback/criticism is appreciated. Especially, we, as a developer of our game entry, will do our best to improve our game, especially if we plan to continue our game after this jam.

Once again, thank you for playing our game entry.

The game was really fun to play, very polished.

Knowing that I had one shot from the theme, this was great!

I liked the implementation of the ability to retry for higher scores - maybe presenting an average for each level so you know how relatively well you did per level. This could be dynamically done as you could use Hyplay's  dataset to store a leaderboard per level.

Good day and thank you for your feedback. We're glad that you like the implementation of our game to retry and get more higher scores.

Also, we're going to keep in mind about your suggestion of presenting the player's average score for each level taken and maybe we're going to implement it if we're planning to continue our game entry after this jam.

Once again, thank you for playing our game entry! We appreciate it.
