I really like how this game puts you in these discrete ‘modes’ you have to switch between. I’ll start off in “kill” mode but then I’m out of ammo so I enter “flush” mode, and then I’m low on health so I need to dash around and heal up, and so on. Felt like I got into a really fun rhythm of alternating between the different modes of interaction. Really great work, top 10 game names of all time as well
So close to no-damage but such is life.
This is so expertly designed, so many little things to appreciate. I love how the enemies get slowed a tiny bit when they’re in the red-zone. I love the health management of killing and swapping sides. It felt realy good to let the clock run until I had only a sliver left of space, and then nuke everything and swap colors. Really really clever and elegant.
Love the tradeoff between strong and light attacks. Strong attacks being an instant-clear felt really balanced for its slowness compared to light attacks. I also really like how your “health” isn’t really health but elevator capacity(?), felt very thematic and also quite forgiving. You could be overwhelmed but land a clutch strong attack to turn the tides, that felt super good. Really great work!
Holy hell this is so good, a well-deserved winners placement in the jam.
I love how your health constantly ticks down, forcing you to go for risky green parries, it’s genius. Forcing your players to play the game in the most exciting way possible is so clever. The final boss making you to parry in the middle of the 4-way explosions and waves of purple bullets is so goddamn sick.
That second boss was so creative too. Every time a different pattern of green and purple bars appeared on the spinner I lost my shit, really really cool.
Man the core design of “you slowly die unless you fight really hard” is gonna live rent-free in my head for a while, I’m 100% stealing it. Congrats on the jam placement, amazing game as always.
(I only died a lot cause I was limit testing, I’m a god gamer don’t you forget it (jk))
Ahh ok, so I think I ran into some kind of bug when I played the first time and left the map. The second and third crystal didn’t give me a range increase (except for the bridge) on my first playthrough, maybe because of the way I left the map:
When I left the map (I circled the exit in the attached image), I thought it was intentional, and the game was gonna break the 4th wall. I noticed that when I left the map, I could “pick up” the UI, including my own crystal from the Power UI. I thought “wow that’s so cool”, so I picked up my crystal “from the UI”, but perhaps that broke something because I never noticed my range on any of my tools going up (except for the ladder?) when I got new crystals. (To get back to the map, I had to repeatedly ‘pick up’ my crystal from the “Power” section of the UI all the way to the right side of the map, not sure if that makes sense but try exiting the map via the image I showed, and then go all the way to the left and pick up your own power UI).
When I played the second time, each crystal gave me massively increased range and I was able to pilot the EV through the final stretch. Finished it, that was great! I really liked all of the logs and the way the whole game was contained on one screen. The music was great for ambience too. I really liked how each crystal gave me increased range (at least on my second playthrough haha), it felt super good to pick up the second and third crystal and be able to scan so much of the map at once. The puzzles were all really satisfying to solve. Thanks for telling me about the full version, I’m glad I played this.
(My first playthrough took me a solid 45 minutes to get to the point where I got stuck.)
