For anyone having issues playing in browser/wanting to try it (with fewer bugs/less lag) ive added a downloadable executable:

Yeah performance was not something we worked on, and decided to make it webgl at literally the last minute. 

I dont think we realized how the web browser does its loading, vs the binary version ... live and learn!

Thank you for going through them anyway <3

If you beat the game did you beat the high score of 352

Nice game. Had a few hickups (from level streaming?). Otherwise it felt smooth.

Not sure what you mean by level streaming though? Is that something to do with the async load we might need to do at start?

Had a lot of fun with this. Love the Karens. Better more sci-fi shooting sounds and maybe some music would have made it more immersive for me. Found the performance taxing in the browser with a lot of stuttering. Great job!

The webgl build was a very last minute decision, and with it came a lot of lag issues we didnt really realize were going to be there. For next time a preloader or something like that is going to be needed and added.

Thank you for playing, did you beat the high score of 352?

Nice game. It felt a little long given the lack of variety in gameplay, but maybe that’s my simple lack of patience. For a Game Jam game we don’t expect much gameplay so nothing to worry about. Keep up the good stuff.

By the way, I loved the little touch of the helicopter flying about.

Reply
twitch.tv/MatisseTecDeveloper3 years ago

Very fair! We were more focused on balancing and bug fixes than making every part have people. Everytime you replay there will be different numbers of people in some of the spots due to some random placements, so areas become more and less populated. There are a few more maze type components that we were going to try to add, but ended up not going with as they caused other parts to work strangly.

Thank you for the feedback on the helicopter! That was 100% itsOik, and I totally agree!

Things to note - the window paralax was really good. I do wish there were different weapons and that the artifacts could give more fun powers.  I also feel there were alot of times where there was not much to do so there could be some more filler stuf maybe obsticals?

Reply
twitch.tv/MatisseTecDeveloper3 years ago(+2)

There are 3 weapons, the starter, the one that costs 15, and the one that costs 30. I think they are under the second part of the upgrade menu.

As for obstacles and what not, 100%, also more people should be spawned to be seen but maybe not interacted with. The areas that are completely blank sometimes have bad spawning issues too where the spawner is under the ground a bit hahahaa.

Congratz to the team! 

Simple & fun game with top notch story (insert storytext here) LUL 

maybe the movement between stairs & floors should be automatic (with a trigger or something like that)?

oh nice, thats an interesting addition, the stair mechanic was used for dodging for a while, but then everyone started moving with you as well, that makes sense to have it happen automatically.

Thank you for trying the game!

I had some difficulty with the controls - movement/shooting felt slow, mouse was sluggish and not sure how to use the !, ?, etc. Controlling both the player and the ship is a great idea - I could see lots of fun puzzle/strategy designs there.

Hey @PixelShenanigans, thank you for the comments! The movement is a bit slow at first, there are upgrades that bring it to a bit too fast too hahah. Mouse and keyboard on webgl build are a bit different, agreed on the sluggishness sometime.

the !,? and invisible markers, are just data markers, nothing to do with them other than gather data.

Puzzles were the next ideas!

Thank you for your feedback.
The "!" and "?" are just indicators that some info will be shown when in vicinity

Happy you enjoyed it! Lots of work went in to scaling the difficulty, so if it keeps you interested I think we maybe got some level of balancing.

I like the uniqueness of the controls, like you control both the player and the ship at the same time.

Yeah that was a lot of the initial plan! We had multiple aliens too which you would control them all at once, but decided to limit it to 1 alien for upgrades.

Thanks for playing
