Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • Unique take on the bullet hell genre but could benefit from more upgrade variety!
  • Great gem and simple loop!

How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
Typically, it's considered player error to be hit by enemy projectiles. In this game, it's considered a feature. We leaned into the chaos with fast-paced gameplay, and transformed a typical gameplay error (being hit by enemies) into a core gameplay loop.

Impressive what you both achieved in just three days. The art style and sound design are super polished and juicy, it is incredibly satisfying to jump around and stick to the walls.

I just wish there were some kind of pattern to help anticipate enemy attacks and develop a strategy. Otherwise, I am just jumping around randomly haha!

Overall, it is a very unique game with a cool concept, and it really stands out!

Developer

Thank you! Appreciate the kind words and you taking the time to leave some valuable feedback. I think that's a great point, some kind of anticipation for the enemy attacks is a great idea. Thanks for playing!

Great vibes overall. Running toward bullets in a game is a great concept and it's well executed here.

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

I loved the artstyle and controlling of the character feels smooth. An indication for enemies who are about to shoot would be nice touch such as glowing eyes sparkling gun barrel, because i found myself jumping from right to left and left to right constantly without knowing who is going to shoot next. The diffuculty stops ramping up after a certain point and i could go forever without any problem, i whis there would be different scenes, police involvement army involvement etc and a boss fight to top them all off but its only my opinion ofcourse, oh and alarm sound is too high and too high pitch. Great game overall and good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Appreciate you playing and leaving such detailed feedback. The enemies do have a 4-5 frame wind up in their animation, but to your point, maybe a flash or visual glow could help make it extra clear and give some additional cushion for the player to position themselves. Totally agree with you about different scenes, maybe a boss fight, etc. All things worth exploring in future iterations.

Submitted

No, thank you! its the best when a fellow developer can see the value in constructive feedback :) i am definetly going to play any future updates! (not because what i just said, its because the game is really good lol)

amazing game, very cool idea, the movement is very smooth, the art looks great! very polished!

Developer

Thank you!

Very fun game honestly! Great job for having done this in 3 days. Congrats!

I like the visuals a lot and the visual effects are also really good. The sounds are just nice tbh, not special.

Polished game, no bugs I have encountered so far. However, on the gameplay side, I did find the game started out a bit slow and only got fun after some rounds. I also found out the game has a pretty easy strategy to go infinite tbh, and it became a bit trivial after I figured it out. Otherwise, very enjoyable game overall, great work!


Here's my high score btw. I didn't lose, but I figured there's not much else left so I called it quits.

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! Agreed that the game is maybe a bit too slow at the start. We were messing with the balancing up until the last second and didn't have it completely hammered down. Appreciate you playing and leaving some feedback!

Very enjoyable game with a great sound track and very polished game mechanics, but it felt a bit too repetetive at the higher waves after a while,  since only the number and stats of enemies and drones increased. Though it was nice to see a different interpretation of error not as bug.

Developer

Thanks for playing and leaving some feedback! Agreed that the game needs some more love in terms of the balancing. We were on our last leg in the final hours of this jam, and we were bumping some numbers up and down with pretty minimal sleep. If we had an extra, balancing would be a key priority.

Great polished game and cool gameplay, I liked it, awesome work!

Developer

Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to play and leave a comment!

I love that you interpreted Error as the playe error, usually games interpreted it as developer error (Bug).

Cool music, sfx, visuals. Great tutorial and gameplay. I think it probably could've been more simple for the jam version (like without timers and limits), but great overall!

Developer

Thank you! Appreciate you playing and leaving a comment. We struggled a bit with the theme during our first brainstorm, but glad you liked the interpretation!

great game, one thing is it felt very repetitive, as in i kept losing the exact same amount i was gaining so felt as if i wasn't winning or losing

Submitted(+2)

WOW this game is pretty polished the art and game feel was top notch! I did play this for quite a while and it was addicting! A couple things I thought I mention from my play through. The game feels maybe too easy once you get your upgrades and some levels the drones will kill everything and there was no skill/ everything died so fast I wasnt sure what happend. Other than that this was awesome!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! If we had an additional day to work on this, the game design balance would be the main thing we'd tackle. We made some tweaks to the wave scaling last second and might have overcorrected. Thanks again for playing and leaving some feedback!

Submitted(+2)

Great art style, and really interesting mechanic.  I did the tutorial and unless I was missing something, progress is super slow.

Developer

Thanks for playing and leaving some feedback. Ya, we tweaked a bunch of of the game's balance right before we submitted, and might have wound up overcorrecting. We wanted to ease people into the chaos, but it might wind up being a bit too slow for some.

Art and music fit very well with each other! Good game play loop too! 

Developer

Thank you!

I had never seen a mechanic where you catch the enemy's attacks and throw them back like that, I thought it was incredible. The art is beautiful, and the gameplay is really fun.

Developer

Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to play!

Great game with great art and sound! Gameplay at earlier waves becomes somewhat tedious, but rapidly speeds up. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for taking the time to play. Agree the earlier rounds might be a bit too slow paced for some, but also wanted to make sure people ease into the gameplay. Appreciate the feedback!
