Good game, unique idea and graphics, but the sound was meh.

Submitted

Interesting game. It would have been better if you don’t have that bar that kills you when it depletes during the tutorial though. Good game though!

Developer

That's the health bar

Submitted

I like how you introduced the concepts and mechanics of the game. They were simple, but even with that you managed to pull a fun challenging game. Great!

Submitted

Love the idea! The voice acting was great, and the concept of using different weapons was fantastic. The music was a bit too loud for my liking, but overall, it’s a great game!

Submitted

Nice game! the magnet flies effect is cool!

Submitted

nice idea. I like the overall feel. The multiple weapons is a cool addition, and I also like how you implemented the theme "overpowered", by adding the option to adjust consumption. The bossfight was quiet fun too. Good gob!

Submitted

cool game, the mechanics here are pretty good too

Submitted

Nice game!!

Submitted

I'm worthless... Has charm. Had a hook to motivate you to beat it... even if you are worthless. 

Developer

I may have made the ribbons a little harsh..

Submitted

You have some good ideas here; The choice between essence and consumption was good, the shield gun and the ability to slow down time. I ended up with a "mediocre" rank

Developer

Thanks for the review and letting me know your ribbon!

Submitted

cool game even if im really bad at this lol its simple but it really works!

Submitted

Really cool gameplay mechanics and idea for the build

Submitted

bro, this is some great stuff:
Fun 5/5

Had really cool mechanics like the essence circles the weapon switching + the boss fight was really cool!

Audio 3/5

Liked the voice acting :)

Graphics 3/5

Liked some designs like the boss and the particle effects

Originality 5/5

Again the gun-switching + the essence mechanics are really cool!

Theme 2/5

tbh i didn't feel that overpowered


Overall this is great, honestly if it had better graphics it'd be a top 5  for me

also my score is -2195 :')

Developer

Thanks for the honesty! I thought, "This is a cool idea," and just went with it!  Almost forgot the theme.

Developer

Anyone who finishes the game, please comment your score! (I'm wondering how much point average players really get.)

The graphics are pretty simple, but as you mentioned, you kept them that way to focus on the gameplay — which is great!

The "Consumption" mechanic is interesting, and the weapons are a nice addition! It’s a fun little game. By the way, I made a game for the same jam too — if you're in the mood to try something else, you can find it here:

No expectations or anything, just sharing in case you're curious!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'm curious what ribbon you got.  (My playtesters were out when I added the ribbons, so I want to know if "Average" is actually average.) I had a problem with my last game where it was WAY too hard, so... I need to know if I should make ribbons easier to get in the future.

Submitted

i got "Worthless" lol

Developer

Yeah, I based them on if you did not read the tutorial.  Oops... I realized my mistake way too late.

Submitted

Oh okay, I skipped it because I had already read it last time.

Developer

Still got "Worthless"? (What was the point count?)

Submitted

i forgor

Developer(+1)

OK! :)

Submitted(+1)

Well done on all the little effects.

Developer

Thanks. What ribbon did you get?

Submitted(+1)

it's funny

Submitted(+1)

fun little game

Submitted

This game had surprisingly alot going for it! I was kinda expecting it to be quite mediocore from the graphx, but then it just kept building!

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I tried to go super simple with the graphics so I could focus more on game development.

Submitted

Good effort. With the right graphix collaborator would've been even better!

Submitted

Great Game!

Developer

Thanks.
