Nice twist on the theme while also tying it back to SKG as a whole!
The ghost speeding up helped ramp up the tension, though the QTEs were a lil repetitive
Could be cool to add some kind of streak/combo system or penalty for misinputs or leaving the cabinet alone for too long. Something to promote more risk-taking from the player
Not sure if I'm missing something - keep getting game overs almost immediately even though I'm landing my jumps and keeping up with the score character
Nice and tight mechanically, cool visual style too
Would be neat to see a meter building for when the next upgrade choice unlocks (also might be good to add a confirmation or something cuz I accidentally clicked an option because I was spamming an attack lol)
It's satisfying to watch your build grow more powerful over multiple rounds!
If anything, the enemies could probably be a bit tougher, since I was able to just strafe and kill all of them and took damage maybe once in my entire run
But it's cool that you have multiple builds in such a short jam
Really cool twist on Tetris! Turns into more of a strategy/resource management game
It was a lil confusing at first that the next piece would immediately overload/jam your machine. I played a few rounds where I tried to maximize my pile and then died.
The presentation is fantastic: Love the art and theming.
If you were to flesh this out, maybe add some kind of minimum quota mechanic or other source of pressure, since eventually it felt like the optimal strategy was just to pack it to ~60% or so. Didn't feel like there was much incentive to risk packing the press tighter.
But this has a lot of potential, one of my fave games in the jam so far!
The aiming feels a lil wonky, I think it might be tracking the local mouse position instead of the global one or something
Other than that, since you're planning to keep working on this, I think some sound effects/music could really flesh this out. Another thing might be to have proper collision effects on the bullets, since right now they just phase through enemies lol
Most of the weapons felt pretty unique, though it seems like if you accidentally drop them, you can't pick them back up
I do wish being hit gave more feedback - it's really easy to not notice you're taking damage since you want to look at the enemies on screen instead of staring at your health bar in the corner
Other than that, 30 waves is a lot for the amount of unique enemies there and how many of them there are per wave
I think either lowering the number of waves or adding bosses every 5 or so would make it more engaging
Performance was a lil dicey, but ik 3D builds on web are always tricky
The actual idea and mechanics are cool, though maybe some sort of countdown to the level start would be nice. Start taking damage as soon as I spawned in lol
It's like FPS Suika game, which is pretty unique. Other than that, a lil more feedback or maybe a wider camera zoom since sometimes I'd be clipped by a planet that was behind me
I like the art, but there's not a lot of contrast between the foreground and background so it was pretty hard to tell what was going on a lot of the time
Still managed to beat the boss, but it was kind of funny to unlock "Plus Ultra" with no boss left to fight lol
I failed the first check because I didn't realize the game doesn't take place in the current year lol It was a bit confusing since it looked like everything was ok/there seemed to be a lot of fluff info, but that might just be a me issue
But I do like the concept and presentation quite a bit
Had a lotta fun w/ the ricochet mechanic and the different enemy types The targeting line can lag sometimes (especially if you trigger it while already in bullet-time), but otherwise it's pretty polished
Love the writing and the art, it's very Pizza Tower meets Newgrounds!
I had a good chuckle when I realized the death sound was the Vine boom lol The gameplay was pretty tight, and the extra biscuits were a nice incentive to take riskier paths in the levels
Clear concept, but great execution from the mechanics to the presentation
This might be one of my favorite takes on the theme Loved the variety of card and dice effects and how they combo-ed together
I didn't realize the double score card was a one-time use, so a clearer indicator there would be nice, but this was seriously addicting, like I was becoming a vampire myself lol
Cool to see a fellow Wizard Card Game end up with something so different from ours!
