What was the origin story?
Old concept with different characters. Lacked the ability and know how to make it. Glad to finally finish something regardless of the bugs :)

Loved the visuals, thought it was fun to play for a short time! Would definitely be interesting to see it with a little cleaned up movement and some more enemies and such. I enjoyed playing it!

Happy to hear, and yeah the it was kinda rushed if I'm honest. The final boss was made in about an hour haha

Everything's rushed in a game jam :) It's always great to see how good things turn out despite the rush

Great wave-based shooter game! Love the art-style, along with the audio. Felt very polished; looks like your using some postprocess shaders to get a 32bit retro style. Very nice. If I have a criticism, not sure if it is just me, but I found the camera rotation via Q + E awkward. My only thought is that if you just had it like a third person camera controller, so it is rotated via the mouse look. That may make it at least less awkward for me. But I can see how that would likely raise other issues and perhaps remove some of the challenge and uniqueness from the game. Still lots of fun!

Yeah I got that complaint about the camera rotation a lot, I'll make a note of it! Thank you for playing!

This was fun, I'm very bad at it but I love the black mage cat ฅ•ω•ฅ

My profile picture is a moogle in the same outfit lol, and my partner made a logo of her cat in a black mage outfit for her circuit boards and things so when I saw this I had to immediately link her to it and jokingly ask her why she joined the same games jam and didn't tell me lol

10/10 would pee on owners bed again ฅ=(^o_o^)=ฅ

Thats hilarious! Thank you so much for the kind comments, it really goes a long way :) I'm gonna check out your game!

a game with so much charm! The visuals are on point. I reached wave 5 i think until it got to many enemies for me :D
I also wished the camera movement was with the mouse. then I would've used the teleport mechanic much more!

Developer

Thank you! That is a fantastic point. The reason I did the camera like that was because I enjoyed the controls from an old game called "Realm of the Mad God" but it was a 2d game. I'll try it out and see!

Neat game! kinda wish the camera was with the mouse instead of pressing on the keyboard but good job!

Thanks for playing Dania! I'll give your recommendation a shot!
