Great game, simple and enjoyable, the kind that I wanted to make. Great job!.
I really like the polish on this game. The soundtrack, particles, and screenshake really add a lot to the game feel. Interestingly, as I was writing this comment, I left the game up in the background and a green triangle spawned that, when collected, slowed down the game which I didn't have spawn at all during my few initial attempts. I wonder if the spawn rate on that is too low or if it only appears under certain conditions. My only real complaint with the game is that since the diamonds spawn randomly, it's sometimes impossible to keep a combo going and it feels bad to lose a combo due to something out of your control. I often found myself using the dodge ability to try and keep a combo going instead of using it to dodge which made it unavailable for when I actually needed it to dodge. Also, having some sort of visual indicator that the dodge ability is off cooldown would help a lot. Really enjoyed this game. Thanks for making it!
Thanks for the nice feedback! Yes the green triangle is actually based on a random number every 5 seconds. That's why it does not appear often. I wanted to make a dash reload animation but didn't know how to make it as I wanted to make the game minimalistic. I didn't want to put a bar or something indicating the dash in the UI. Thank you again for this nice comment. I'll keep in mind your feedback when I'll upgrade the game.
This game is very juicy, it has a lot of effects and sounds going well with a frenetic gameplay, i was playing so much which is really nice. so there you are, take your score and let me go i have other things to do XD
Great music, appropriate SFX, juicy VFX, cool time distortions, and clever health UI all wrapped into a neat and engaging experience.
Very well done. Good luck! :D
I REALLY LOVED THIS GAME. Simple, fun, nice songs. The lifebar integrated with the character, it was awesome!
Nice game especially the music ! Good job keep it up ! rated :)
Pls rate mine too - https://itch.io/jam/scorejam13/rate/1045688
the music is so relaxing and the screen ripple is very cool. I also like how you embedded your health onto the character, but it was hard to check while also trying to dodge.
Superb game.
1, There should be a healing powerup.
2, I think there should be more enemies besides the bouncing balls. Maybe a shooter and a bomber could be for cool enemies.
Besides this. It is one of the best games in the Jam.
Fun game! controls feel good, and very simple concept so immediately get what to do. would be great if it could scale more - but really nice for a quick fun game!
The effects are super cool! I love how everything feels sharp and crisp. I feel like the slow-down power up should also slow down the reset of the combo. Other than that, a great clean looking addictive game!
Effects are 10/10. Though the draw back is performance lol. The game ran fine for me but I have a decent Pc and im using a browser that is built to be optimized. The effects and movement is buttery smooth and I love it. Maybe make the spawn rate of the coins or point things a bit faster tho. Other than that, awesome job dude!
