Nice iteration on the bullet heaven genre. The death mechanic is a nice twist - takes a bit of playing to understand how it works. Simple graphics but very clean, and impact of different weapons are clear
Very clever! I'm a big fan of the old school style and really like the concept. First ever game I've played where I've actually tried to take damage. Well done :)
I was wondering what I had done to "die" and trigger death's dialogue when I hadn't been hit by anything (I was playing so good) and I realize that an enemy got like... stuck or something inside the bubble I was throwing around and was hitting me as it came out. I ended up getting soft locked in a room because the enemy wouldn't die in the bubble, so it just kept coming out of me and doing damage to me, but never dying itself. I swear to god if this is a bait and switch and that's how the game is supposed to end I'm gonna lose it!!!
All of that aside:
- the music was great
- the controls were great
- the items felt impactful
- so much polish
I watched you make this and was looking forward to playing it, I'm so glad I did!
Reminded me of Journey of the Prairie King from Stardew, hehe :)
I played it in chrome!!! it's like vampire survivors for the c64, I love it!! bubble weapon is my favourite and the dagger upgrade seems useless. I got an imp caught in my bubble and it bugged the game, he did 2 damage to me when I fired the bubble and wouldn't die (haha) but it softlocked me. I would also like a faster ramp to the difficulty but it's a great game!
Fun game, Not sure if things get harder between loops, could add more / faster spawning or tougher enemies?
Thanks for the submission!
For some reason in Firefox it doesn't run, but works in Google. Well done on a classic arcade style game, a few more levels and some mnore baddies this would be a really great little game. Deserves to be worked on more :)
Ok, this is a fun little concept. Very PICO-8 feeling but from Godot ^_^ I feel the difficulty can be upped a bit more (I did 2 loops). But yes! fun!
