Pretty good, like art and gameplay. I think you could have used the last 10 minutes do display your final score at game over.

yknow, I was going to do try that, but I haven’t learned how to put values on another scene, and I didn’t have time to learn it, so I just submitted it.

Thanks for playing!

Developer

don’t worry, I will add it once the jam is finished

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it.

A few notes:

  • "don't hit the animals" is slightly misleading, since bullets don't seem to hurt them
  • the "try again" button is not very responsive and sometimes I have to click twice
  • press and hold to fire would've been a better choice than one bullet per button press, I think
  • is there an ending? I killed the boss three times but he keeps respawning

Well done for finishing in time!

1. I never actually expected anyone to hit the birds with bullets so I never added the code for it.
2. It's usually because of the fade in transition on Clickteam Fusion stopping everything until it finishes the fade in, so you might have to wait 2 seconds before pressing it. I never planned to add custom fade in transitions because I was running out of time.
3. I had to think about this for hours until I decided to use one bullet per press, cuz you might kill the birds that were flying (which i never added)
4. Its meant to be an endless shooter, that's why I added a score system, 10 points per hit and 100 points per boss killed.

I will add some features like hurting the birds with bullets, having Hold to Fire as an optional or default setting, and fixing the transitions, after the jam is finished. Thank you for giving notes, since it will be useful on improving the game somehow, and thank you for playing my game!
