Cool interpretation of the theme with great art and music.  It was a bit difficult to see the bullets though but overall a cute lil' game!

Developer

Thnaks Winston!

Nice variety of monsters and  good pixel art. It's quite short and I think the weapons really needed sound effects and maybe a recolour of the bullets (I couldn't see them against the colour of the floor for ages). Still, I liked the story and you've got the look down, so I'm sure you can build on that to expand this into a great game!

Developer

Thanks NinjaConor! We  really couldn't finish the game in the 48 hour period , so we are thinking of polishing it and actually making it into a playble game.

This game doesn't have a Linux or Mac version, but has it specified. Maybe it was specified by mistake?

Developer

We actually thought that we built the game so it could be supported in Linux and Mac , but we couldn't test it out , because all our devices are on Windows. Thanks for letting us know!

If you're using Unity, it's easy to miss, but in the Build Settings window you have to change the "Target Platform" and build each executable separately.

Developer

Thanks we're going to keep that in mind next time.

Cool idea i like the random weapon and straight into the fight, but it was pretty hard to tell if i was shooting or not, the bosses didnt react and the bullets were hard to see

Developer

Thank you! The original idea was done within the time frame , but we didn't have time do add the  little details that make the  game pop, so it could be a little confusing at times.

Congrats on your first game jam!

Here are some points to help you improve for future jams :)

Visual

It was visually pleasing! Although when you're hurt too much, it makes the player feel dizzy (at least I felt dizzy). Maybe have a little less shaking :) or read the gameplay details, I have other suggestions

Audio

The BGM (background music) is good, but it definitely misses SFX (sound effects). For example when you're hurt, when you shoot, when you touch the boss, when you win, when you click in the menus, etc. Little details (and it probably was due to a lack of time, it's okay no worries) that help the game gain a little star ;)

Tutorials

Try to take the time for a little tutorial. Even if it's not something really complex, even a little text help a lot (I would still say "texts are not optimal", but I also rate accordingly).

Gameplay

  • When you launch the game, it's a nice idea to let the player breathe. Show a 3-2-1 before starting, so the boss doesn't rush the player. I had trouble with the robot because it pushed me against the wall at the beginning and I couldn't do much to save my poor ass :(
  • Don't let your bosses harass the player! There's nothing worse than not having a 1 second invisibility when you're hurt and see your health just drop in a rush. It also helps with the dizziness problem.
  • Other than that, the gameplay is pretty nice, it would've been good to have a health bar for the boss, too.
  • And one last thing, to avoid having repetitive gameplay, just having a little variation in the direction of the balls (for the green boss) helps creating variations in the player approach.

Fun

Let's be honest, it's not the most fun game, but I definitely enjoyed it a lot! So really, good job for your first jam, it's a really good thing! :)

Bugs

I didn't see any bugs I think, so great job on that part too!

Theme

Definitely in the theme :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the detailed feedback.We  are definitely gonna have the things you mentioned in mind for our future jams! 

Submitted

Nice music and well designed game. Loved the variety in the bosses. If  Particle effects spawn when you hit the enemy, it would have been really cool. Because it seemed as though the bullet vanished. But other than that Really solid first jam entry! Keep creating!

Developer(+1)

Thanks Advay Satish ! We too wanted to add particle effects ,tho we ran out of time  just as we added the music and story. We are  definitely going to  add them in future projects.

Submitted

I understand by the name of the executable that it's your first game jam ? If so, impressive !
It was fun to play, some different bosses, not too hard. Graphics are great and music too ! I liked it and even won two or three times !
The only complaint I have (for further jam) is the lack of visual feedback when you sucessfully hit a monster, and for the weapons. Nonetheless, great game !

Developer

Thanks very much SRWGShinyo!Yes it was our first game jam. We actually wanted to add effects when you hit an enemy , tho we ran out of time. And we remebered that we havr to do art for the weapons just after we built the game , so we couldn't do that either. Never the less it was fun and we are going to participate in other jams in the future!

Submitted

Great little game, I like the art!

Thanks , for playing the game and the warm words !

Submitted

I managed to find the treasure! But I didn't kill the robot? Do the different guns have different amounts of ammo? The robot looks so cool!

Thanks , ABMaca! Unfortunately we  ran out of time , so we couldn't add different art or ammo for the game.We also couldn't do any bug fixing ,so it may be a little glitchy at times.
