Note again: Scroll down to the bottom to see the instructions, as well as explanation on why it's related to the theme
Not gonna lie, this is my kind of game. Gameplay is pretty fun and the artstyle is really cool. and oooh boy that game feel, juicy juicy feel...
Great job!!
Looks nice and it's fun.
The visuals are great. Not just the artwork, but the extra touches, like particles, and cam shake, which makes it feel so much more alive.
I don't see the theme connection, the concept is quite straightforward.
the concept was that his abilities are 'lost n found'
You can scroll down to the instructions, it has explanation of how it works and explanation of the mechanic itself
For short, we interpret the theme with "Memory" basically your character has memory issues and his abilities are forgotten, but after you use his current ability and shot once, it will stimulate him and he will recall one of his ability. Basically his ability are "lost and found" in his mind.
I got to the boss fight and lasted 10 whole seconds.
Game is pretty fun, I enjoyed it a lot. I didn't understand how to use abilities, but that's on me
thanks. in short u have 3 abilities u can only remember once at a time (one is pierce a bullet pierce through the 1 enemy), no shoot (u heal but u cant shoot for some time), double shoot (2 bullets) and u use r to use ur ability
I'm the second dev here, basically, the tutorial is below in the comments, you can scroll down to read, in short, use R, ability reset when you use the ability and shot once after that.
I tried pressing R to use abilities in my playthrough, but it seemed like it didn't do anything for me
weird. i don't think that should be an issue. try redownloading and read the instructions. the ability img will kinda float when its activiated.
Really fun game, even though I read in the comments that you can't beat the boss, I still wanted to keep trying cause I liked the gameplay so much. Well done! Not to mention the art style is very good. It's difficult to get your game art to be consistent, look good and quickly convey the right visual cues, but you've nailed it.
art was not me it was toben :smile:. thanks for the feedback though. it was a last minute mistake we had coded it earlier but i think some github issue occured. i will update it as soon as the jam ends so you can play it properly :)
Boss battle was quite intense as it seem like it never ended until I noticed that it was displayed on the console. Always nice to see people making games without game engines.
haha, first of all. you are a pro gamer man most people didn't even reach the boss and you managed to tell us this. so apparently yes you are right. see im a teenager and it was 11 30 i didnt had time to playtest since my mom was pressing on me to sleep. my friend toben had coded it but apparently due to some accident (we dont know) it got removed. i will update the file as soon as game jam finishes.
Yup, hope you like the game, we kind of mess the winning logic up because we clone from github before I implement it. But in the trade off, we have infinite gameplay haha!
(Btw we forgor to set the description in the submission so I'm not credited here but I'm one of the dev, you can go the the game page to see the credit)
HERE ARE THE GAME INSTRUCTIONS (ALSO ON GAME PAGE ) PLEASE READ BEFORE PLAYIN ELSE YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND GAME MECHANICS
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ELSE YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND GAME MECHANICS
Scoliosy (the player) is a mild soldier in the Great War. Opposite to his mild role, his mind is a splatter of droplets of tears.
His abilities keep reappearing in front of him. Every time a shot burst through his ears after he use his ability, he recalls once again the other abilities:
Double shot: Shot 2 bullets
Pierce: His next bullet will pierce through enemy once and keep moving.
Hibernate: He will lose control over his gun to calm himself and heal.
His abilities are basically "lost and found".
Press R to use your ability, one at a time. The ability will switch after you shoot once after an ability usage.
W, A, S, D to move.
Use your mouse to aim and shoot.
R to use ability
Aaaaah. It's so hard. Really fun and addictive. The only bad thing I can think of is using R for the ability, since it prevents you from using the same finger to move (and avoid the constantly pursuing enemies).
haha most bullet Hells are this hard. And thanks for the feedback. I'll keep a note of this in future games
We've fucked up the description so here's the TUTORIALS. You would be confused if you don't read it.
