Very nice game! Everything was a tad bit too shiny in my opinion tho, but that's just a minor complaint. Got S at least in a couple levels :)) Overall a nice experience
Yeah.. I need to pinpoint the right amount of bloom intensity. POG It excites me you got S in some levels. For most people the game was really difficult so thats a surprise XD. What do you think about the current difficulty curve? And I'm glad you got a nice experience from my game :)
I think the difficulty curve was fine, but i've played games all my life so it could very well be a different story for other people.
Also forgot to mention, there are a few levels where the enemies start shooting as soon as you enter, not giving you much time to dodge
Sweet game, though challenging. I found that the concept was unique and the score system was very rewarding, plus the music fit very well with the fast paced environment! I did find holding down left mouse button to be a bit annoying to shoot as I usually tap and the shooting felt a bit slow but that may just be my preference. Also, personally, I would love to see some graphics though to get the feel of the environment and story a bit! Overall this is a great, challenging and rewarding experience! Great job!
Ah.. Yeah I probably need to adjust the shooting cooldown as well as the speed of your bullets. I was even thinking of adding a metronome so you could shoot the bullets on rhythm but I didn't have time. If I really want to take this idea to the next level I will consider adding different graphics/colors depending on which planet you are on. (Since I was thinking each collectible has to be found in a specific planet) Glad you found the experience challenging and rewarding though! :)
That sounds like an awesome plan, the rhythm would make it so unique and the different planets would definitely fit with the vibe. Definitely take this to the next level, would love to see what you make!
I really like that you're "not" the player, but it would be better for me if the gameplay showed that idea more. ^^
Nice score effects at the end of the levels and music, I would of liked more graphics and keyboard controls, but overall nice concept!
Yeah I'll communicate it more in gameplay. Hopefully I'll be able to add upgrades as well as improve the roster. Glad you liked the scoring system though. I'm thinking of adding animated backgrounds. And yeah instead of just mouse I'll add moving with WASD and shooting with arrow keys, a lot of others have commented on that. Regardless I'm glad you enjoyed the game
Nice idea and a nice story behind it. It's a little difficult and if your work on graphics it is a really nice game. Good job.
I'm thinking about adding background animations to spice up the graphics as well as improving camera movement. Regardless, I'm glad you enjoyed the game and my idea :)
This is a cool idea and a nice game. The only complaint I have is the intensity of the light was a little too much and hurt my eyes a little. I'd love if you could check out my game too!
Yeah some liked the bloom intensity, some didn't. I'll have to pinpoint the right amount. Glad you found the game nice tho.
I really like the idea that I am not the player, and that I have to compete against other recruits to stay in the player's choice. I really wish the gameplay would have gone more in depth instead of a simple top down shooter. Also the graphics could probably be improved. Good Job! (Btw, nice Dani reference).
Yeah.. I tried to make the gameplay go into depth more with Mikan but to others she didn't feel like she was going to other crewmates and coming back so I'll have to polish that. I'll also try and add a dungeon map and a better roster to make it feel like you really are competing. I may consider improving the graphics by adding animated backgrounds or something. Glad you enjoyed the game tho! And yes.. I had to put the Dani reference (makes a joke of it in his devlog)
Great contols! Love the dash so much. But is it just me, or is this looking kinda like dani's game? Rectangles, triangles and circles... You look sus dude xD.
Could you check my game also? I'd appreciate it.
Maybe I am sus.. https://ibb.co/7tfVjQD
Jokes aside I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
Yeah, I DID enjoy your game. Just makeing double sure that this is clear. :)
Great game really enjoyed it! I loved the style of rating that you get after completing a level! Definitely a good direction :D Keep it up.
Would be great if you could check my game also :)
Glad you enjoyed the game and the scoring screen. And I saw your game on Joshua's stream. I might play it :)
That player really needs to spend more gems and pull some 5* versions of me so I can get upgraded, the cheap sod. Bullets move a bit too slow for my tastes but the game is clear and easy to understand, which is great. Fun times.
Yeah I might add a mechanic where if you perform well you'll get upgrades.. And yeah I do need to polish player movement / attacks. Glad you enjoyed the game though! :)
