Great game. Can't say I was very good at it, but had a lot of fun. Clearly lots of polish on this one
high quality game, i liked the simplicity of the controls despite the game being actually difficult to master, perfect for an actual nokia game
This is a pretty cool game. I like the particle effects. The first boss has too much health and I wish they had a bit of variety in their attack but overall not bad. Good job!
Incredible game! It felt like everything was well measured and balanced. Even the tightest of timings felt doable, and there were lots of good design choices like making the platforms not have a hitbox while they spawn. Also lots of enemy and gameplay variety. Definitely a tough game, but still a fair one. Good job!
thank you so much man! I really appreciate what you said! And thanks for playing!
Really nice. I love that you can just jump in and get the game immediately, like all the great old school arcade games. The minimalist art really fits well with the palette choice too. Great work all round!
Thank you so much man!
There are so much different enemies with unique behaviours! Very good job!!
Thank you! Glad you liked It!
Nice little game, simple gameplay but not too easy !
thank you so much!
Fun and addictive game! Great job!
Thank you so much!
Love the aesthetics, the bosses were really cool. A little too difficult for me to beat playing casually, but ordinarily I do like a good challenge. Great work!
thank you man!
I Like the dark art style, the gameplay is simple but solid. Definitely a lot of fun to play. I think the first boss could use some more polish/variation but everything else was on point!
thank you so much!
Very fun game, the mechanics are simple and the graphics are very polished
Very addicting arcade gameplay, also like how it feels a bit like Undertale fighting mode.
Thank you man and thanks for playing it!
Awesome job! Although it get's pretty difficult, the game play is very addictive.
Thank you I'm glad you liked It!
congrats, very nice game and really fun. I've tried it several times. The difficulty curve is well handled and I like that is a game that you start and just play, like truly old games were. Graphics are great and animations make it well smooth.
Thank you so much man, I really appreciate that you liked It! That was the AIM, emulate the nokia game difficult and addiction ,but, in the same time,propose something new! Thank you again
I loved this game, though I'd need to play more because I kept mixing up the directions and of course I want to see more of the levels! I know it's a tiny detail but the screen shake is very well done (and those tiny details make a game great). I know I'd have absolutely played for hours this game on my Nokia, haha!
Thank you so much man! I really appreciate this! I played the game a lot tò make sure It was free from bugs! So I know what you are saying 🤣 And thanks for playing my game!
👏 Congrats to fit a game like that in a screen small like that! Everything is very "readable" even everything is very small on the screen. What are the challenges you faced to keep this and working with only 2 colors and so few pixels?
Thank you man! I put a lot of effort and dedication into this game, I did It in 4 / 5 days for the nokia jam session.. Everything has been a challenge but I used the restriction of the two color and 84x48 pixel resolution tò focus more on the gameplay and a lot less on the graphic.. so I use the restriction as a benediction , i could not make a game in two colors with a Little bit of complexity using a lot of things on the screen, because everything could look like a mess. So I thought about something visually simple. The circular gameplay was Born by and idea, a platformer with a player that can move on the Wall and the ceiling ( thanks tò GravenDusk, a very smart man wich I work together tò develop other games ).. After discarding the idea I Say tò myself (what if I make it but with circular walls?) and so everything started. I 've Always made platformer in my gamedev experience , this time I wanted tò overcome myself pushing me into something new and unknown.. Btw I loved all the process and I love this game.. Thank you for playing !
It is a very good game! Fun, has a lot of game juice (especially for a 'Nokia' game), addicting, the different bosses and enemies (especially the walls before the second boss fight) are always fun to encounter. It is pretty hard though (only got to the second boss fight, to which I lost) and the enemies can sometimes spawn right next to you, which is a bit annoying when you are moving fast. But a pretty unique idea!
Thank you so much man! Even if I did it in very short time I put a lot of effort and passion into it.. for the juice maybe you are talking about screen shake (I put it to simulate the nokia vibration).. I want you to know that the game is completely possible to finish.. But for the second ending you really have to be very skilled.. Thank you a lot for your time and your review, I appreciate it
The circular movement is a welcome twist to the shootem-up genre!
I think my two favorite moments are the boss 1 fight (against which I died way more than I care to admit), and wave 7-8. Those were some really cool fights that centered around the circular motion.
Really nice game! Clean, clear and action packed! (also really dig the itch page)
I'll have to come back to this, to see if I can find all its secrets!
Thank you for playing it! I will give a cheat code to add infinite lives at the end of the jam for who want to see the true ending , if they cannot see without cheating XD
Great Game I had a blast playing it, The colors fit the difficulty is perfect, there is a big enough variaty of enemies and the game feels very polished I got to wave V with 735score or so, I will surely come back to this game again :)
Starting of the game I wasn't sure what the drops do, but eventually I figered them all out.The boss feld very good, when I defeated the first one I thougt I finished the game, and then I was pleasetly suprised that it wasn't over defently feels like a game that could exist for a nokia good job. I honestly thinks you make a bigger version of the game. Also I dont understand what the thumnail has to do with the game, but thats okay...
also I love the itch page of your game, thanks for making such a good game :)
Thank you man! You have to finish the game to understand it.. It has more than one bosses and two finals.. There are hidden cheat codes too.. but they will show in the end.. thanks for playing it
