Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • Interesting game, would love to have seen it developed more, but very promising!
  • Decent concept, powerups don't appear to be implemented yet but feel as though they need to be before the gameplay can begin to shine. Lack of audio was starkly noticeable - deafening silence of the void was oppressive.

Great work! Overall felt very polished.  ❤

I only encountered one bug where the name input at the start was positioned slightly off where you meant to have it. Loved the logo mouse over effect btw.

Not sure if it was a me thing but something I felt the controls were inverted depending on whether I was at the top or bottom of the circle. I guess that just adds to the challenge though.

Solid entry, thanks for sharing <3 <3

Movement on the circle was trickier to make work nice than i expected......but i hope to improve quite a few things, we got some great feedback.....we went a bit to ambitious for the jam, but you gotta try and aim high......ty

Nice game! If it had upgrades it could become addictive fast!

Yep definitely want to add powerups.....

I liked the title screen effect. The visuals of the game looks really good. 
However, I would have loved the shooting rate to be higher.
I would also have liked the movement precision to be a bit higher. Because in its current form, I could get to where the "enemy" was but not hit it because of a very small distance between the bullet and enemy which felt pretty unsatisfactory as you can reach there but not kill it.

Overall, I love a lot about it but it just felt a little bit unsatisfactory.

Wanted to add a slower speed up and down to movement, just ran out of time for the jam, but yeah it will change.....ty

I really love the title screen effect, that's really cool. I did seem to have a problem of when I was rotating with D and using ctrl to shoot, it kept bookmarking the page hahaha. Love the art

Developer

ok cool ill look....I aimed a bit high on this one my first, the sounds are broken on itch, i fixed it now but we will have to wait til after the jam for updates, we are going to keep building this one out. We started Powerups but never got them working,. That will make it a bit more fun i think...we will see. We gotta thank Franks Laboratory (YOUTUBE) for the effect, he has a tutorial for it in javascript
