Really fun game. I cannot assess how much work it was, but it certainly works, is fun and fast to play. One thing that could have been better is the enemies' behaviour - maybe instead of flying into the player they would circle him? But this would make the game harder at the same time, so it needs to be thought over.
Impressive that you added that much content in pygame in 3 days. The encounters felt intense and the game had a nice style.
Some suggestions:
I hope you'll keep improving the gameplay and refactor the code to make it more readable and updatable. Again, the workload was probably insane, especially with working solo and without a game engine. Good work!
Thank you! I'll try to add all of your suggestions.
I like the way the character movement is fast, I just wish I could jump using W, it was just natural for me, everytime I wanted to jump I used W and then I was like "oh no!" and then I was falling lol. I hope to see more of this game :)
I fixed the shotgun. Now i just need to upload the game.
Wow, this game is good. Since the start of the jam, I waited for this game and it finally arrived. The bullets are hard to learn, so I didn't beat the game.
Thank you! I'll fix the bullets. A lot of people are complaining about the bullets.
I just fixed the bug. Now i just need to compile the game.
Now i fixed the shotgun. Now you can play the game normally. What do you mean by "Since The start of the jam"? Did you see my community post?
yes
the game is nice, considering that you make it without any game engine, but you have plenty room to grow, there is one critical bug because of which you can't hit the enemies, bullets are just fly through them, but anyway nice job, keep up the good work
Thank you! The bug happens because i made a shotgun, which fires a lot of projectiles. The angle of the bullets make it pretty hard to aim. This was my first game jam, so i didn't have any idea of what i was doing. Did you beat the game?
I tryed but the shootgun issue was literally killing me over and over again so i didnt get through it, sorry
I'll fix the bug. Everyone who reviews my game complains about the bug.

Shotgun fixed!
i tryed to beat your game once again, and a want to say, that this project has insane amount of levels and enemies, well done! but here is the problem, you didn't made a saving system, and it is really frustrating when you character falls off the platform because of hight speed(another problem) also the shotgun has unlimited amount of ammo
The shotgun has unlimited amount of ammo, but it has a cooldown.
but it's too small, as i understand, because I can see, that it has 20 shots, but it reloads so fast, that you can't notice the cooldown at all. Honestly i don't think that this is bad, it makes game feels more tence, actually!(in a good way of cource)
should I open this with python or pygame
You can open that with python.
to install pygame, you need to run python -m pip install pygame in the terminal
Now Theres the window version. Now, you can just run the "Alien invasion.exe" file.
