Fun game
Miss juice like camera shake, vfx etc!
Thank you :D
Overall it miss a lot of feedbacks + VFX + SFX etc. BUUUUUT after the Jam I'll work on the game again. I will take it in a new direction, from a game jam game to a more complete thingy!
Nice :D when you finish your polish, tell me. I will happy to re test it ^^
interesting, but a bug with getting stuck in the walls interferes
Ah, that's new! If you have any steps of to reproduce this bug?
and happy to see you back haha, you were the one to say cool ZQSD controls, now it also supports WASD, isn't that wonderful?
this is very good
Yay, no more comments about weird controls haha!
The endless waves will drag any players into the abyss :D
I loved art and gameplay! Different controls were a bit odd at the start, but I can get used to it
I'm really happy you've liked my game :D
Did you encounter any issues with the controls? I've added a fix today to allow QWERTY users to use WASD instead of ZQSD (since I'm using AZERTY).
I've played this game at start of the rating period, and remembered that WASD is not working, and today already started with SDQZ. Good to know update is here haha. Have to dm rest of my team!
I really like the visuals, the audio is also nice.
I just find the game is lacking in content with only 1 evolution to get (at least that i could get)
Well done though!
Thank you :D
There's indeed only 1 evolution, one more was planned but scrapped since it was not as functional as the other one. The ui/feedbacks/SFX/music took all my time on the last day
pretty nice game, i may "take" some ideas from this for a post-update like the enemy flashing on a hit.
Quick question, is there any other "volution" stages? or just one, because i'm so bad at the game that i can't seem to get to it, unless there is only one upgrade.
all in all great submission!
Yeah, this little feedback is really important. It makes the game a little more "polished" + the player knows if he it the enemy.
Don't worry for the evolutions, there's only 1 available at this time. More were planned but the second one was a little bit bugged and overall not balanced at all, so it was scrapped before release :D
eye go pew
Pretty cool! I like the visuals and audio. Good job making the enemies flash when you hit them. Feedback is important.
Signs and feedback are, I think, the most important things in game dev!
Agreed! I get annoyed when I'm not sure that I did something.
good music and a strange choice of keys for control but overall not bad!
Sorry for the control, I've made the game for AZERTY keyboards and didn't took QWERTY into account :(
Voidborn now support QWERTY keyboards!
Many others have already mentioned the WASD input, which made it super hard. Was interesting trying a different convention of input, though! Loved the effects and sprite art.
Yeaaah... it's my bad on this, I'll fix this after the game jam! I'm happy you've liked it :D
You can now play with WASD :D
pew pew
pew pew is the best kind of pew
truly :)
yeah the control is need to switched to WASD to make players from all around the world enjoy it. :)
but the game itself is fun
Voidborn now supports QWERTY keyboards!
Cool creatures and sick start screen. Gameplay could be better :P
Thank you, just in case I've fixed the controls and it now supports QWERTY keyboards
Controls are not for everyone. The music is good.
Sorry for the controls, they're made for AZERTY keyboard, you can try to SHIFT+ALT to switch your keyboard to AZERTY.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to upload a fix during the review time, so that's the "fix" I can provide for now :(
Ahoy, I've fixed the controls :D
Super hard keyboard controls 😂
Maybe if you're using an unconventional keyboard add movement through arrow keys.
Apart from the movement, the difficulty scaling needs a bit of work, there are way too many enemies at the very beginning, Maybe the movement makes it feel harder than it is but I feel like there should be a bit fewer enemies till the player starts evolving and getting a bit better first.
That being said its a nice concept, and I like the art style.
Good job!
Ahoy, if you're encountering problems with the controls, try to Shift+Alt to switch from QWERTY to AZERTY.
I also think there's some tweaks needed with some numbers, HP, DMG even the wave's timer. I can imagine that the controls are not helping at all espescially if you miss the W and A button (I guess since it's ZQSD on AZERTY).
Thank you a lot for your feedback, I've used some free assets from Itch.io and made the character/ui myself + recolor/modify some assets!
I cant move left and up
The game was made for AZERTY Keyboard, maybe that's the problem :(
ahhhhhhhh yes probably
Voidborn now supports QWERTY keyboards!
Good game I like the pixel art, It might be user error but I wasn't able to kill more than 3 attackers before I died. seemed like I couldn't shoot fast enough. Has potential would like to have seen more than first evolve
Thank you for the feedback. Maybe the game's page wasn't updated with all the controls. You must move around with ZQSD if you want to have a chance to survive :D
I wanted to create another evolution but didn't had the time to add it :(
Oh I hear ya there! There is never enough time in a jam 🙃
That's the beauty of it I guess, honestly I'm happy with what I've made. Except for this little problem with controls everyone is experiencing but I don't think I'm allowed to provide a fix with QWERTY support until the end of the votes. The best I can do is tell people to SHIFT + ALT :(
