The idea is very very engaging, loved to see how killing the black cubes spawned more of me but the gamedesign has a major flaw, since that every cube you kill spawns a copy of you in that same position, in later stages of the game once you get down in soldiers it is practically impossible to come back, killing the cubes spawns more of you but they instantly get eaten up by the other black cubes around it, this wouldn't be a problem if movement was more permessive in the game, the fact that the space where you can move is so small makes it so that you can't even skillfully stride away from the enemies, also the having such a small space leads you to just corner yourself when you have many copies of you and restricts you into having one single strategy option right at the start when instead at the start you want the players to be able to experiment in this kind of endless games and come up with a strategy that suits them and such strategy tested in the late game, think it like Call Of Duty Zombies, the gameplay is pretty straight forward but what add variety to the gameplay is movement strategies, guns, bonuses and enemy types and by the 30 round you have a set of weapons and perks that indentifies you, look into one those aspects when you'll upgrade your game and also make the map bigger or make it bigger based on how many copies there are of you or of the enemy!

Hey there, looks like you didn't play my game yet! Here have a go, I hope you'll have fun! In the meanwhile I'll try your game out :P

Fascinating and ispirational, might not be a game by definition but to be games are art and this art is very very pleasing ahha, also this is so ispirational that you actually gave me a game idea with this same presentation, this could make for a really really fun game in my opinion!

Also when I say art, I also mean audio design and music which were amazing! Check out my game!

This game as a lot of potential, I like the idea of getting different abilities but at some point even those feel powerless and I don't think it's a good thing this is my only complain , I very much liked it, played it more then other games and the art looks so polised.

But at the end I have to consider that I played the fixed version so be carefull next time and plan out to finish at least a day before the dead like for some play testing, I also have a bug in my game but I don't feel like it would be fair to the other partecipants to release a fixed version during the jam!

Also I'll check this out again when you'll add music and sounds to it ahah, check out my game too!

Ok I'll start with the things I liked, I like the game idea a lot, the fact that you can make enemies your own allies is something that make for a very fun and chaotic game, the graphics are very simple but looks sooo clean and the audio is so clean too, if you did everything right I would have thought that this was a release ready game ahah but there are some flaws that, to me at least, are total turnoffs.

Now about the flaws, enemies take way too long to kill, you shoot projectiles at a slowfire rate and enemies are super resistant, same thing for the components, this makes the assault approach hard to consider, going stealth is very approcable but the fact that when you get to a component it litteraly takes forever to destroy makes you just stand there pressing the mouse button for like 10 seconds and feels like a chore, also when you make an enemy an ally, the other enemies can recognizes them but allies don't actually follow you so they end up screwing you up if you are trying to make as many allies as possible since red enemies cannot be turned.

I really really like the Idea, that's why I want to give you as much criticism, I like it so much that one day I might get inspired by this and these are my thoughts if I had to improve your game to fit in my likings and undestanding of gamedesign.

If you ever update this I'll be sure to check it out! Also check out my game too!

Very much liked the concept of the game and I think that with some polish this would make for a very entertaining game!

Be sure to keep in mind the most important design principles :

I'm checking your game as soon as I can! Here my WebGL game I hope you like it!

I very much liked the theme and the graphics but game design definitly needs to be tweaked a bit, otherwise it was a fun game!

JOE is ready for yoooo, ANOTHER ONE

                  https://JOEJOEYOYO

I don't usually download games to try out but this was a lot of fun, I loved the TV trasmission look and the different chaos effects, but I truly hated the flashbangs :'), those are my only concern!

Here, face-off the evil JOE

Yeah that restart bug is a big bummer, thanks for the feedback and glad you had fun!

OMG I DIDN'T NOTICE, I gotta check what was the problem thanks for the feedback! I hope you still tried to replay it but either way I'm  happy you enjoyed it!

Doing a game that needs that many minigames is definilty  a bad idea for a gamejam ahha but we loved it so much that we decided to stick with it!

The fact that you enjoyed it that much makes it all even more worth it haha thank you for playing!

We actually wanted to make a mode like that but a jam is a jam ahah, Thanks for trying out our game,!

It was a blast, first game for me to make dogfighting real cool

 Clarity definitly needs to be improved, good to know you were able to enjoy it anyway!

Definitly confusing, it's a bit hard conveing the minigames' objectives with 2 or 3 words but I'm happy it was confusing only sometimes ahah, a lot of improvement room there!

So innovative and so unstable yeaaah, we wanted to make a more compelling experience but didn't organize well enaugh ahah

Our pixelartist did a great job, Glad you liked it!

Yeah there are many missing pieces to this game, windows are not mean't to be dragged but are also not meant to go on top of each othen that much often, I had some ideas to prevent it but time was already up ahah, very happy you enjoyed! 

Artstyle very gud ye very happy about my friend's work he gud :')

Jokes aside, I'm glad you found it fun and thanks for the compliment about the art!

Now back after uploading 17 minutes before the deadline! Slept 6 hours and we are ready to play!

Leave some feed back and share how much did you survive, we'll try out as many games as we can!

EDIT : i forgot to put the link LMAO, silly me here the game :' )

hppts:0//JOE IS REaDY foR A NEwCOmER!.xdlol

I love the lighting and the everything has a loomy type of feeling, very nice game!

Thanks! We did put a looooot of time in this, we almost thought we wouldn't make it to be honest ahah

Very true, I wanted to develop a more complex difficulty system to make things more intresting but we overestimated what we could do in our first jam, I hope you enjoyed anyway!
