Good game. Loved the ability to dodge the incoming bullets using both my position and rotation. 


Looking forward to the "good" edition.

Developer

the good option will hopefully come out soon...

Submitted

a polished little game with some really nice bullet patterns. I've got a little bit of constructive criticism, as always ;)

  • feedback! Getting hit didn't feel like getting hit. I don't think I was actually doing any damage to the enemies so I kinda gave up shooting entirely. 
  • Player hitbox is really sus - make it smaller than the player to give a little bit of grace when taking damage. I'd rather think "oo I didn't think I'd make that" than "ugh why didn't I make that, the game is cheating"
  • make bullets bigger and faster. Like, a lot bigger and faster. 2x the size and 3x the speed! Especially the speed of the player bullets, that should maybe even be like 5x faster. 
  • If the enemies could die - make them have much lower health. Yes, this makes it easier - but you can offset that by adding lots more enemies! 
  • AUDIO. You need to add music and sound effects. Audio is such an important part of games, and people always forget about it!
  • I'd have liked to see a menu

These are all things that would take it from "good" to "great" :) it's a neat little concept, you should be proud!

Nice game! Something about the level design made it feel like stealth game to me—I liked it.

Pretty polished, with some snazzy gauges on the player to boot. Though it is a bit short and lacks audio.

Submitted

Hey actually this is pretty nice, obvious stuff to point out is lack of sound effects (even bad ones are better than none), pretty hard patterns and questionable player hitbox, but it really has potential to be really fun :)

Submitted

I enjoyed playing your game, although it is a bit short. Audio will improve the game, but I enjoyed it pretty much even without it. Some of the enemy attack patterns don't give much area to dodge projectiles. Overall, pretty good visuals and really fun to play. Well done!

Submitted

Short and sweet, it's just too bad that there is no audio, but yeah it's good. Maybe some bullet are too hard to dodge, I had to tank some of these lol

Submitted

Fun, but short. Sprites looked good, arrays of bullets felt like it was less of a "dodge" scenario, and more of a "get to the end before you run out of health" scenario because the patterns were so tight, and the hitbox on the player felt... odd

Also having the ability to shoot felt like I was missing something, but it was just a feature that was left in, which is deceiving for the player. 

Also no sound, but I get it. Game Jam. 

Submitted

Sprites and Graphics are crisp and nice. Controlls feel smooth. 
Some Bullet Patterns appear to be undodgeable for the size of the player object - would feel better if I was smaller and could weave through this beautifully made patterns.
Sound is missing - which make the whole experience a lil hollow in Game Feel.

Submitted

Really fun game, loved the challenge and was very fun to play through. Great job!

Submitted

That was hard but after many, many attempts i made it to the floaty red orb and beat it! xD  Fun game -was really challenging to keep making sure to turn the ship in the direction to be able to dodge.  Was also fun waiting for the keys to open the door to let me through before getting hit lol -had fun playing this -great work! :D

glad you liked it, quite impressive that people liked the map i made in the last 10 minutes of the jam :D 

Submitted

lmao that crazy last minute crunch  -i understand!  xD

Submitted

This was a bit challenging and fun. Would be good if you keep developing it. Maybe play my game once??

Developer (1 edit)

thanks, i am developing an update rn with new levels, is there a linux version or web version of your game im not on windows? :D

Submitted

I'll give a web version soon.

Submitted(+1)

I have added a webGL version of the game.

It's so close to being awesome, only a few more days in the oven and it would've been done. There are a few minor tweaks that would make it play much better to me:

  • smaller player collider, it's really hard to fit between bullets, I'd go for 50% of what the player sprite is actually,
  • a few very short and much simpler levels to start,
  • shooting is not really needed and it doen't have a purpose atm, I'd remove it,
  • audio could make a big difference :)

Would play again, I'll follow the development ;d
