7 Waves- Really well polished game! It reminds me a lot of Tilt to Live- I used to play that game on ends trying to keep as many enemies on screen alive as I could.

Oh, for Android, right? :) I'm glad that you enjoyed the game :D If you liked the art style, you can check a comparison between the concept art and the final artwork here: https://twitter.com/kilderdev/status/1158112776814039041?s=20
Thanks for playing it :D And I'm really glad that you liked the art style :) I've posted one of the initial concept arts on my twitter xD https://twitter.com/kilderdev you can check it if you're curious :)
This is so good and polished, probably the best game of this genre I have seen in this jam yet.
Would play again.
SO SO SO SO GOOD!!!! There's so much variety, every weapon has a different strategy! Imagine this with upgrades! I'm silently squealing at the thought of that.
This is really cool. I especially like that the sword always one shots to encourage risking getting close to the enemy
really nice game. I loved the moment I realized I could kill multiple enemies with the sword and after that I really tried to come up with creative ways to use all the different weapons. well done!
Couldn't get my gamepad to work in the web version and I'm on linux. So I played with the trackpad on my laptop... anyway: Loved the laser gun! Nice concept to have to use different guns all the time. The purple guy was annoying though, wish he had a bit less health since he's so dodgy.
I LOVED it.
There is a real strategy things going on about chosing when to use what and it gets stressing.
Nice one.
We also made a top-down shooter, though with a bit of a different gimmick. Feel free to try it ;)
Great execution! More of this please. Hit 11 waves and wanted to keep on going, that's a good sign. Really nice enemy and weapons variety.
Amazing presentation & visuals, simple rules, and fun gameplay overall. Solid job on this project- keep it up!
Well done! It's really hectic and fun, reminds me a bit of super smash TV. Just wish the difficulty would progress a little faster, I died on the 10th wave but it didn't feel that much more difficult then the 9th or 8th wave. The weapons are pretty fun and the enemies are varied enough.
Never played that game. That was before my time :D
Regarding the difficulty. That's a very hard topic to get right because of the wide range of gamers from casual to pro. In addition, getting it right during a game jam is even harder. We tried our best. It also depends a little on the rng for the enemies to spawn. If you get lots of green ones then the game will not be much more difficult. But getting shooter enemies will make it harder very fast :D
cool Game, i love top down shooters and yours looks and plays great. well done.
Great game! I liked the controls, awesome art style, cool weapons. The only thing that was a little hard for me is the sword. I don't know why, but it always felt like it was a bit short then it looks. But it really didn't take away from the game, so great job!
Nice game! Really had to think what weapon to use. I had little luck getting health canisters so it was a bit harder. My main concern is the controls are a bit wonky
You have no luck getting health cannisters, because you get the 3 at the beginning and that's it. So use them wisely ;)
I have heard it a lot that the controls doesn't feel right. I'm not sure if this is due to the light system I used which is a problem for not so good PCs, because on my gaming PC it is running super smooth. It could also be the Web version. You should get better performance downloading it.
Hi FireTotemGames and your team
I never imagine that one classical top-down shooting game can match this theme perfectly. But Your game did it. I checked the credit. The sound and graphics is great because their style is match with the Sci-Fi. And your special Effects really impressed me. And the settings panel and options really very suitable.
If you want to update later, I hopes you can add one slot or Cell to display the player current weapon. Because when I played in wave 5, when I want to get the "green bomb weapon", I cannot get this weapon and confused a while. Later I understand I just hold one weapon and I ignore using it first. (Might this is my own problem.)
Very impressed game. I will add to my collection and looking for your another game~
Hi Beaver Joe
Thank you very much for your in depth feedback. I'm also surprised that the game turned out so well, after feeling that it will be garbage in the middle of the jam :D
I totally agree with you on displaying the weapon that is currently held by the player, but I didn't know where to put it and the limited time. But this will be on the todo list if we keep working on this game.
Feeling honored that you added it to your collection.
PS: The green bomb weapon is called a "grenade"
