windowkill

Crashing on win11, ryzen 5 7640HS using integrated graphics, opengl

I wish there was Linux support.

It's sad that this game doesn't doesn't distribute a Linux binary - especially sad since it's the exact same amount of effort to export for Linux as Windows when you're using Godot. I bet it'd even run better on Linux than it would Windows. For now - I'm stuck with Wine.

EDIT: There's a linux build now

i saw many videos about it but sadly i cant play it

I really want to like this game; however, the balancing leaves a lot to be desired. Some of the powerups in the game feel like they have little to no impact in battle. for example:
-Homing is completely useless by all metrics. In early levels it's completely negligible and it's extremely hard to notice if it even does anything
-Fire Rate feels extremely underpowered, early it makes no difference, and it feels more like a long-term investment then an actual good powerup itself
-Freeze is only really good if you have Pierce, if not then it's useless

Another problem (though this is just my opinion) is that the powerups are kind of generic as well. They do their job I guess but it'd be nice to see a lot more variety in powerups than the choices we have now.

It also feels like the biggest enemy is really the Shop. Early-game a majority of your time is spent in the Shop to get anything more impactful as you're in a race against time before the first boss drops. It sounds pretty engaging in text, however in execution you're it's a lot of rerolling useless powerups which takes up a lot of your money fast. (Rerolling also costs more each time) In addition, the Shop can show multiple of the same item so if it's too expensive early (multi-shot lvl 2) or not the best then you need to waste more points in rerolling. All of this in the small span before the boss spawns.

Don't get me wrong I think this game is extremely creative, it does have a lot of aspects that would be fun if not for the balance. It's not really the enemies that are the problem, it's more just these underpowered powerups that negatively impacts the fun of the game.

can u make a version for people without opengl 3 cuz i can run cuz of recent graphic card changes , good game tho

Got a really low FPS after 1 hour cause of too much coins and bullets: 

Great game. Nice concept, minimalistic pretty graphic, music that you can never get tired of. Good job. Longest run was 1 hour (acording to ingame timer). Had +- lvl 30 Multishot, 40-50+ Wealth, plenty of Splash damage and everything i could buy. The problem is at about 55 min i had 15-10 fps when shooting, and 2-5 fps after 1 hour. Later game crashed. I guess bullets and splashes are the most hard thing to process or is it spawning "children" after "parent" dies (in gamedev terminology of course). My PC is kinda strong.  And the strange thing is 

max CPU usage - 17% 

max GPU usage - 50%

max RAM usage - 51%

max GRAM usage - 4%

I am complete beginner in gamedev, so can`t be 100% sure, but does it mean that game uses only one core of processor?

A bit about balance. The only really usefull perk is Below. Drain eather too weak, or too small. Imo would be cool if after upgrade you could use 2 Drains at once or at least make it 1,5 - 2 times bigger.  About Peer, i have no idea why does it exist. Maybe i am wrong but from my pov it is just a small window to see something out of your box. Not helpfull at all cause there is nothing to seek for anyway.

And im glad that you asked. Yes, i have more crapy ideas:

- Would be cool to see stats your char have and what upgrades improves (or how much)

- How about area that regen you for e.g. 1 hp in 2-5 sec that chages location for e.g. every 30-40 sec? Peer could be used to find it

- If (hp < 15%) background_color or char_color or area_around_char = redish; Because really often it is surprise to see "Game over" screen

Anyways it was really fun to try out this game. I like concept a lot.

cool game although i feel black would be a more appropriate background then purple

oh yeah also mabye add some more bosses? here is one that i litterally just thougt of:
Sun.exe
the sun will shoot rays of idk from its center (like the real sun) and if you touch those rays then your upgrades decrease in power and mabye you'll even lose them but the rays stop if they hit an edge of its window or any window. but you still have to shoot it to defeat it so its basicly like Take damage, shoot, take damage, shoot, take damage, shoot and so on and so fourth. in its second phase (yes it has 2 phases) then it turns into the moon. the moon will darken every window currently on screen thats related to WindowKill and you still have to shoot it to defeat it. though it will drop 2 stars because it basicly just turns into another boss when you defeat the first one.

died on purpose because of low-fps about 2-3 for last 30 minutes

please optimize "end"-game (after about 30 minutes of playing, alot of coins around cause fps drop)

this time it wasn't skill issue, i was literally on 2 seconds per frame :sob:

I FRICKING LOVE THIS GAME!!!
Hey also, would it be fine if I made your game in turbowarp?
Turbowarp has window controls and I've already started trying out different code to make closest to this awesome game! Scratch, yes, is a very simple coding platform but can get complicated, a little.
All I'm asking is if I could make a ripoff scratch version lol.

this is insane, i was at 2-5fps late game T_T

The game keeps crashing for me constantly

This game should be considered a drug

What does Peer actually do??

I saw many people who reached the best of his runs, but i (probably) will the first person, who show you the real beating of windowkill:
