Here is another game really crying out to be finished off. The game looks great and some very solid core mechanics. The game has a really nice retro feel to it. Really nice. 

Developer

Thanks, appreciate the gameplay. Had a lot of fun making it!

Cool game! I really enjoyed the aesthetic! Great job!

At first glance I did not get it. Then I got the fact that I create the challenge myself! =) Actually the proper theme application with an innovative design.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I’m thinking I need a “hold your hand” tutorial as yeah, unless you go through the help system you’re just dropped into the scene with no idea what to do. Thanks for playing!

Fun game missing a volume slider it was quite a loud. Also the lighning feeled weaker then the fireball or more uncontrollable with way to high cooldown. But it looks really good. Was funny to stand on the wall and shooting enmies from it with the dash.

Developer

No time to get settings in so that’ll be for later. I thought I had turned down the sound a bit by default so it wouldn’t be too bad, guess I got it wrong. Need some balancing on the weapons for sure. Also looking to give the enemies some more smarts trying to get to the player. Thanks for playing!

Great fun game, brought back Gauntlet memories. Really nice graphic style as well. Would love to see this game with more animations on the main character and also would love to be able to kill things properly, I know the the theme got in the way a bit but would really add to the fun if you could blast loads of baddies. 

I really hope you continue working on this adding new levels to explore as well. Congrats on great game that is really well put together.

Developer

Thanks Tubby! Yes hoping to continue it with more levels and enemies. Stay tuned!

Really enjoyed playing this one and genuinely exciting when the enemies duplicate. Loved the music too

Developer

Thanks! Yeah they’ll be more monsters to come. Glad you enjoyed it.

Love this - so good. I hate the rat. Seriously. Very fun to play, loved the aesthetic!

Developer(+1)

Thanks. Everyone hates the rats. Loved your game too. Look for future changes to this!

Submitted(+1)

haha I'll be honest, loved it - super fun, but the rat was a surprise.. just the speed and violence after I was mostly just mooching about. :D

Developer

No worries. Looking forward to continuing this game after the jam. Lots of cool ideas (although I didn’t go back to my other jam entries to update them, so, who knows…)

Submitted(+1)

This was super fun had a blast, managed to glitch into a wall which was also fun! I would play more of this please add more things to unlock!

Developer

Will do, I think some different enemies will be fun. Sorry about the glitch, Unity collisions can be crap at times.

Submitted(+1)

dont apologise, I was able to unlock more stuff because I had a safe spot lol :P

Submitted(+1)

very load machine gun game, one of the best, you have to buy dash before you can dash. A*

Developer(+1)

Yeah you only start with the force blast power. All abilities have to be purchased. Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

yeah it just says on the menu to double tap the wasd to dash and it didn't but I didn't pay for it it's a misleado (minor)!

Developer(+1)

Right yeah, you need to unlock the ability first before you can use it. I’ll take note to fix that in the future.

Submitted(+1)

the map is a bit restrictive, overall had fun. would love to see a full game .

Developer

Thanks. Yeah I was going to make more maps and then thought about generating them. No time but might do it post jam.

Submitted(+1)

Fun core loops, takes a long time to unlock powerups, so improvements to the ecnonmy, especially for a jam game.

Developer

Thanks, yeah, game jams are always killer for game balance. Might work on it post jam if there’s interest.

Submitted(+1)

The gameplay feels very good. I was a little lost on what the goal is, but its a good game ^_^ I liked how monsters that duplicate give you a real "OH FUCK" moment ^_^ Well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks. I think the goal is just to keep going, get the upgrades by earning gold, and get the high score. I should add leaderboards but didn’t have enough time for the jam.
