This was a fun one! The boss was a bit difficult, and I ended up dying. The minions spawned faster than I could kill them, haha. This is the second game in the jam I've seen that engages with the "polarity" mechanic, and I find it really unique and cool!
I love the art, sound effects, and Galaga-style gameplay. I could see this in an arcade, to be honest.
I definitely want to see future implementations of the mechanics you mentioned in the comments.
Happy Jamming!
Hi Mya, thanks so much for your kind words. I had a blast making the sfx and music for this game. There were a few inspirations including classic arcade shooters of course like Gradius 3, with “Polarity” being initially inspired by the game ‘Fast RMX’. There are actually 3 bosses (one at the end of each level) and the mechanics, although fundamentally simple, aren’t fully realised/pushed until levels 2 and 3. But even so, glad you had fun with the first level despite the difficulty!
As a side note - for anyone seeing this, if you happen to be struggling with browser performance - would recommend the download ver. (especially due to the precise gameplay and relatively high difficulty).
Happy Jamming🫡
