This is easily the most fun I've had with any of the submissions really well executed I felt like I was playing a demo level of a full game that's had way more time than that to be developed

This game has the juice! It's very satisfying to do everything in this game from moving around and clicking buttons, to attacking and resurrecting. It just feels nice. I wanted to be able to grow my swarm even bigger and have massive battles, but of course time is a big restraint! Sounds like you already overscoped (I've been there), so I think you did really well with the time given. Great work!

Incredibly polished fun and unique game and the swarming and flocking code worked very well:) Congrats!

YEAH This game rocked! Very well polished and also such a good idea. I've played a few of these swarm type games by now, but this one was by far the most interesting. Also the best implementation of the theme so far! Being able to ressurrect fallen allies as well as enemies really tickled me.


Such a fantastic job, it was super fun to play!

This might be my favorite game in this jam. The visuals and audio are very polished. The gameplay is interesting and fun. The use of the theme is very creative. I also appreciate the addition of settings and a tutorial.

Developer

Thank you so much! That means a lot, truly. And if I'm gonna put my own music into a game, it better have a music slider lmao

Very good game! It feels incredibly polished, every visual effect is perfect. The upgrades are also very unique and fun. It's a very unique take to the theme, and very well implemented too! One of my favorite entries for sure.

Thank you for playing! I appreciate it, adding juice is probably my favorite part of making a game, really makes everything feel put together even if the project is a spaghetti mess lol

This is a really fun game play experience, the visuals and gameplay is nice and polished I was surprised there was even upgrades! Very well done

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for playing! If you noticed I actually planned for there to be images with the upgrade cards(only 1 upgrade out of the 12 had an image implemented), but I ran out of time XD. I really appreciate it.

Esta muy bueno… Me parece que las mejoras estan limitadas en su cantidad. Y un poco mas de o un mejor tutorial o explicación de juego

Developer(+1)

Disculpa por el uso de Google Translate. ¡Gracias por jugar! Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con lo de las mejoras: habría estado genial tener más variedad. De hecho, quería incluir una pequeña escena con algunos gráficos, ¡pero al final me habría tomado demasiado tiempo añadirla!

Nice game! Very smooth experience, felt very satisfying growing the horde and fighting. The juice was amazing. Just wish there were more swarms to kill because sometimes I went a 'long' period of time without finding any. The horde must grow!

Developer

Thank you for playing and the feedback! I 100% agree, the enemy manager got added with little time remaining, and I was planning on doing some adjusting for game feel but ran out of time ack!

Absolutely love it

Nice work!


Developer

That game was hands down the best one I've played so far! Also crazy how well it's polished in such a short time, great job!!

Developer

Thank you for playing and your comment! It means a lot!

This game scratched my brain in the best way possible. I love the art and the sfx so much! I knew this game was gonna be good literally just from the main menu. Seriously amazing job

Developer

Thank you for playing! That really makes me happy to hear!

Amazing. I'll be waiting for an extended version of this!

Developer

Thank you so much!  I'm not sure I'll be doing an extended version, or if I do I think I'll rewrite it. I got caught up optimizing early, and it got spaghetti super quick lol. Was originally planning for hundreds of bugs on screen at one time, and I quickly realized that was not realistic for my level of programming/it being a web build/only having 48 hours, had to scope down QUICK!
