Hard to get into but felt really rewarding when you did, even though i didnt complete it (because of lag problems) probably one of the jam games i put the most time into. Only problem i noticed was that sometimes there where just random explosions happening, but I probably just didnt understand a game mechanic. Probably gonna try to beat the game when im on a better computer again.
Yeah the scoring is definitly inspired by Balatro, we thought it was an interesting idea to combine balatro-esque point system with something like an action game. I totally agree on the pacing its definitly the biggest problem we noticed during playtesting, if we update the game, finding a way to make early game more interesting is definitly one of the most important things. Also the game is made in Gamemaker, making a full game in 4 days in c++ is way beyond my programming skills ( :
in the web build in i think the fourth round you can only see three infos and the first line is always empty also during the fourth round the game gave me an error and i was unable to continue.But maybe it just has to do with my device i had problems with web games in the past
The tutorial tries to teach most of the systems but if we can update the game again we can try to explain the system around looping and points a bit more. Thanks for the feedback!
I really liked how chaotic it was after a certain round but i think I would have found it more fun if there was something like a timer that pressured you into working faster and into making more mistakes. Also is the text glitching out after a certain round wanted?
Extremly fun to just get more and more overpowerd until you just speed through the layers and enemies. One problem i personally had was that it was a bit irritating that every sound was 3d , even the bullet sounds.
Really fun interpretation of the theme and a really polished game in general. I especally like the art and audio direction it reminds me a bit of the old rayman raving rabbid games ( especally RRR2). The only critique i have is that it feels a bit repetitive after some time mostly because there isnt really a goal your working on(maybe i just quit to early to see it but i dont think there is).
