Many kudos.

Vaporwave, I like it

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing our game and big thanks from the art team! Vaporwave is a new concept for us to dive into and we were unsure of it at first but we're glad you like it!

Submitted(+4)

Really fun gameplay, a couple of extra power-ups would really help the replay ability, nice music, strange but not bad art, interesting idea but overall it's fun and that's almost all that matters haha, great job! :D

Developer(+2)

Hey I'm AlfI

I appreciate your review and your insights, we as a team do think the game needs to be fleshed out and we are reading and checking on any feedback given 

I am also glad you enjoyed the music, and yes I do agree fun is almost all that matters.

Many Kudos.

Crazy idea, great game. What's really interesting is that you don't want the bullets to be dangerous for you so you pick least effective upgrades but then more enemies comes up and you regret that idea. The online scoreboard is insanely cool, absolute quality

Developer(+1)

Glad you love the crazy idea we came up with and enjoyed our game! It is up to the player how they wish to pursue and play the game, picking weak upgrades means player will most likely die to a massive swarm of enemies, on the other hand, player may have a difficult time dodging bullets from the turret due to the turret being stronger. Definitely thinking of ways to improve so that players can play the game for just a tat bit longer bit of time. Our leaderboard also took a while but glad we got it implemented! Thanks for your comment and thanks for playing!

My lord the aesthetic is perfect! The music feels so on point with the vaporwave vibe, and the win98 menus are great! The game is great, maybe it would help if it would ramp up a bit faster!

You can check out the game I made art for <3

Developer

Glad you love the art! Will tell our artists that you really like it! Same with music as well, our artists and composer definitely worked very well together and have the same vision for the game, to have the same style that works with one another. I am glad you love the music, the vibes and even the win98 menus. 

We are definitely working on ramping the game up in the near future :D to get things going. 

I definitely will check the game out and leave my comment there :D

Love it! The game is really good an interesting as your upgrades can affect my survivability in both positive and negative ways! I liked that there's a leaderboard too!

Developer

Glad that you love our game and point out the good things of our game! Thanks for playing and commenting!

Submitted(+5)

Very fun and love the vaporwave theme. My only complaint is that there should be a way to select upgrades with the keyboard rather than the mouse. I don't like having to quickly switch between them every time they appear.

Developer(+1)

There was a bug with the keyboard controls for the upgrade and we didn't have time to debug it so we just removed it. We'd love to add it back later too. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+5)

Enjoyable gameplay and great art !

Developer

Thank you for playing! And a big thanks from the art team for appreciating our work on the game. We're glad you enjoyed the visuals to it.

Very entertaining and addictive, but in a good way. I especially love the 80's retro Computer vibe.  Great Job.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing our game! Glad to know you enjoyed it, and a big thanks from the art team for the appreciation on the game's visuals! It was a very new concept for us to learn and we're glad it came across well to all players!

I got a score of 179. Wasn't able to make the leaderboard :(

It's a fun challenging game! I like the difficulty increase as well as the variety of enemies.

I had fun good job!

Developer

Aww, I personally think 179 is a very high score! It's just that there are many people who are just too good in our game XD You can do it and I believe in you. I am glad you find our game challenging and fun!

Submitted(+4)

I really love the vaporwave aesthetic and the overall concept and idea! I think having a leaderboard is also a nice touch!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! The concept of vaporwave was new to us in the art team as well, we're glad it came out well! A big thanks from the art team for your appreciation on the visuals! And I'm sure the devs are happy to hear about the leaderboard cause they spent a lot of time perfecting it! Thank you once again for spending time on our game!

A super cool shooter and very well done! I really enjoy the feedback loop of upgrading the gun to kill enemies easier, but could also make it harder for the player's movements. Adding some barriers or enemies that can absorb or reflect the projectiles could really spice it up even more. Awesome work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for commenting and playing our game! Your feedback is very much appreciated, we are definitely looking into ways of adding extra more content to have a much more engaging gameplay. Glad that you enjoy our game!

Submitted(+4)

This is well done! There's a lot of interesting theming options for a game like this, I think it has a lot of potential to be expanded.

Developer

Thanks so much for commenting and playing our game! Definitely a lot of themes, and we went with a very unique one :D In terms of potentially expanding the game, what sort of thoughts do you have in mind? I would be interesting in understanding your train of thoughts

Submitted(+4)

Good job! I enjoyed difficulty increase.

Developer

Thanks for playing our game and thanks for commenting! Glad you love the difficulty in our game, do you think we need to make any sorts of changes to the game in terms of difficulty?

Submitted

when you dodge you could be invulnerable to bullets and others...

Maybe at a point the shooter could move.

Submitted(+4)

This was great! I never thought of having to dodge the weapon as a tool to fight your foes. Nice! Upgrading makes it harder for both sides too! Really cool. Good going.

Developer

Thanks for commenting and playing! Glad you had a wonderful experience playing our game. 

Submitted(+4)

I loved this! I would love to see some obstacles, though, since I found I could mostly just run in a circle and was ok for a long time. Great job, though!

Developer

Thanks for commenting and playing our game! What sort of obstacles would you suggest to be implement into a game like this? Wouldn't it make the game very cramp in a way as well?  Very curious on your thoughts on how you would improve on our game

Submitted

Hey, I wasn't able to get on here for the last few days of ratings, but in case you do see this, I feel like mostly I'd like a bit more variety. So, obstacles could block my path as well as the enemies, the gun could be on rails and move around the level, enemies could shoot as well to add more of a bullet hell feeling to the whole thing. These might be good or bad ideas, I just feel like I really liked the concept and it felt good to play, but I just wanted a bit more variety, if that makes sense.

Submitted(+4)

Really cool idea, and good gfx/sfx. Would like to see this get a bit more jumpy though, maybe with more speed, or obstacles that enemies hide behind, so you need to lure them out, stuff like that.

Definitely has potential!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! Definitely will think of ways making it jumpy XD and perhaps more fun. I will give your compliments to our music/sfx guy :D Hope you enjoyed playing our game!

Submitted

I did indeed! 😁

Submitted(+4)

This game is great! I love how the upgrades make you do more damage but also put you at a greater risk. A couple of suggestions for polish would be to add a glitch effect to the screen when you dash to give it more impact, maybe add an option to skip upgrades (that you cant use more than once in a row) to make the choices more interesting, and to make enemies drop a larger quantity of less valuable xp particles (which add up to the same amount as they do now) rather than big ones since people have monkey brains and like when theres more of something. Great job overall!

Developer

Thanks for your detailed feedback! We will definitely take these feedbacks into considerations, I think your feedbacks will be very helpful for us in enhancing the game and making it better than what it is now :D I am glad you enjoyed our game!

Submitted(+4)

I was so determined to get onto that leaderboard! Didn't quite make it - I'll have to settle for the #15 spot. That's a great way to keep me playing for much longer than I otherwise would have.

There's something very poetic about the scenario. Engineering a situation in which you're not in control at all, but in which you can manage the chaos just slightly better than your opponents. Feels metaphorical for something, I'm just not sure what.

Developer

Hey John, I am glad you get to play our game and really enjoy it. It's amazing that you find our game poetic in a way XD hopefully we are able to find out what it is.

(+4)

Not gonna lie, this game is very addictive. Easy-to-play, hard-to-master kinda game. Next thing I know, I've been at this game for hours, trying to beat the high scores at the leaderboard. Here are my two cents: (1) Allow full-keyboard usage, as in enabling keyboard to select buff, not mouse. (2) Maybe can add in different game modes whereby scoring are counted differently, maybe based on enemies killed, or a mode with auto-picked buffs (3) More fun buffs! (4) More fun enemies! (5) Maybe can add in random-spawn buff like a bomb that clears the map. (6) Co-op mode! Imagine being able to play with 3 or more friends in the same map and see who's the last man standing.
Overall, really enjoyed this game. Keep up the great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! We'll definitely add some of these ideas in the next update after the jam. They all do sound really fun and I'd love to make that game!
