Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • Enjoyable game, although the long pause after selecting a powerup is a tad frustrating, and if you hit ESC, it unpauses the game with the message sticking around forever.

Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?
Yes

Tell us about your game!
No story currently. You move with WASD or arrows, ESC to pause/unpause.

Goal is not to get hit and beat the boss. You will be offered upgrades through the boss fight, but with each upgrade a random visual "improvement" is added.

Boids are your best friend they deal tons of damage and you can use them as cover!

Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
Yes

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes

Extra Notes
This was my first game jam. After a lot of unfinished projects this is the first prototype I finished and made playable. Thank you!

Any type of feedback would be more than welcome.

Nice work! I like your stylistic choices, music, sound, visuals are cool overall experience!

The standout issue for me: The pause after choosing an upgrade is annoying me quite a bit. I tried pressing any sensible button, but it seems to be on a timer that can't be interrupted.

Congrats on finishing your first game!!!

Thank you!! And thanks for the feedback, I agree it is annoying, don't know how I missed that during development.
