Ranked from 59 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
You have to collect as many orbs in the level as you can. When you die in-game (the end,) you respawn and lose 30% of the orbs you collected (the new beginning.)

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I used ChatGPT to help me with the player controller and the timer. But other than that, i wrote everything else on my own, along with all of the art and animations. I also got the music from Royalty Free Planet on YouTube.

Oh yea, I also asked ChatGPT for the title :)

Love the vibe of the game!! Simple top-down shooter but the atmosphere and music make it exciting. Nice AI title by the way, I also used ChatGPT for some code 😳

Great work!!

Wow, really cool game!

You nailed the graphics and VFX, all the visuals are fantastic (that robot is a cool detail too)
Concept is good, I had a lot of fun playing it, just wish I could see the entire screen lol

You really did a great work, keep it up bro!

Developer

Thanks :)

And yea, I was already aware that some ppl wouldnt ne able to see the entirety of the UI. Before I worked on all the animations for the UI (death, game over, etc.) I did have it so the UI would position properly. But after I did them, it broke everything with the scaling/positioning, sorry :l

rly cool and rlly hard lol :))

I was jamming out to this game, most fun I had playing a game in the jam so far! Loved the overall aesthetic! Makes me want to make a game like this, but except you are in a hard rock concert lol. Great game!

I love how you made the robot from your last Brackeys entry into the DJ.

The game is pretty fun, I really like the visuals and sound. The dance floor is super neon and colorful without being over the top and killing enemies is really satisfying (I also love how the skull blinks Lol). I also really like how enemies are pushed back when they attack the player to give a bit of breathing room. Unfortunately, your health can still get absolutely shredded by a group of enemies attacking all at once. This is especially a problem when you respawn on top of them. I would suggest adding some invincibility frames to the player after getting hit or respawning, or just have all the enemies get pushed away instead of just the attacking one. But overall, this game's really fun with an excellent visual style!

Thanks! :D I think you might be the first one here to notice the skull blinking lol. And thanks for noticing the robot too :)

And about the enemies, i was aware of there being a hoard of enemies going at you once you responded, but I ended up not fixing it due to time restraints (I ended up submitting only 3 hours before the deadline, which was at 5AM for me)

Dang and I thought I submitted late...

But yeah I totally understand not being able to fix stuff because of time.

Great game. the game feels realy nice and the art and music is also really good. It's also really cool how the UI shakes when hit and falls when the player die.

Amazing game. keep it up♥

The shooting mechanic felt really nice. Sounds are perfect for the game and the style reminds me of an old game i used to play on mobile. nice job!

This was a really good game! the graphics were great and it was very juicy! :)

Great graphics and music! Fun game and very juicy.

Amazing game man! I really like the atmosphere of the game!

Submitted(+1)

Really cool! I love the UI and the sound design a lot. The only feedback I have is that when you have a controller plugged in an it moves at all you lose control of the player and it drifts a random direction. Other than that bug it was really good! Great work :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks! 

Yea, i tried (and failed) to get it working on a controller last minute of the jam, so id recommend playing with a keyboard instead lol.

I am a huge fan of the post-proccessing, the audio, and the overally feel of the game! i do however think that it may be beneficial if there was some sort of scaling so the enemies for weaker at the beginning and stronger later on, but thats just me

Submitted(+1)

Nice game, one thing I would change is the enemy spawning. I died once and got overrun by hundreds of them when I spawned back in.

Submitted(+1)

Awesome game! The music and the post processing effects made it feel really cool and intense. It was fun, good job! :)

Submitted(+1)

Cool cool game. The DJ booth level design was a rad touch, I loved the movement mechanics, the art, and the music. My one critique, it would be awesome to see which enemies have lower health, maybe in how they're colored, so that I can strategize who to shoot. Really cool entry!

This was a lot of fun to play.  Definitely could have done with a little more variety in weapons and enemies, but the music is super good and the juice is very nice!  Well done.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! :D

I was originally going to implement more weapons, like a shotgun, automatic, and a rifle, but due to time constraints I ended up scrapping it.

Submitted(+1)

There is a bug when i click on my middle mouse button at an edge and then it gets stuck in a one way movement.

For gameplay it would be more fun if there was different guns for different generations.

in the end its pretty solid game and its was fun that there is a Dj in the field playing the music or is enjoying to the music :D.

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

I was originally going to put different weapons into the game, but due to time constraints (and my coding knowledge) I wasn't able to actually do it.

aww thats too bad would have been a BLAST tho :D
