Awesome game! I loved the art and the gameplay was really fun. Would love to see developed further. Nice work!
Enemy design could use some work. Self replicate on death is not very interesting of an ability imo
But regardless, difficulty is balanced rather well. Keeps you engaged, art style is easy on the eyes and overall it is one of more high quality defend games I've seen around here. Also I love the music.
The game is nice, I like the player sprite he's cute, good choice of color, but the enemies bullet are the same with the player, it's a little confusing, but over all, it's a fun game.
The graphics were cute and it was fun ! :)
Nice game ! Well done
Really liked having the player character visibly decay as you take damage.
Cute animations and very satisfying impact on the shooting.
thanks!
I love the knockback animations. Love the detail of you growing smaller and smaller (well, decaying) when you get swarmed by the enemies. I had to check what the death looks like. Overall, very fun game! Adorable art! Great work.
thanks!
Amazing game! There are so many small details to notice.
The sound effects, knockback, and difficulty were all on point. I liked how you have flavor text for each enemy too…which is why I wanted to get to level 12, but I digress. Maybe one day?
A few nitpicks:
You can’t click the back arrow to move to the end of the enemy-description list. You also can’t click the forward arrow, at the end of the list, to go to the start.
It’s easy to confuse the “boing” enemy with a dead one, causing a few problems. Tho, the number of differences is still clear enough once you git good.
The dig enemy can hide under enemy corpses, which can cause trouble for players. Giving them drawing priority would fix that. Since they are stationary, that should be fine.
Finally, I did notice one bug. If you kill all enemies, except enemies that are currently splitting, the round ends and the spitting enemies follow into the next round. Honestly, though, this is some good speedrun tech that I almost always tried to exploit to move faster in the game.
Anyway, great game. Great submission. Thank you!
thanks for all the feedback!
1) yeah the boing thing does make sense
2) yeah I probably should've made digs easier to see but I forgot to do that, oops
3) the splitting bug is known and was for a while but I never cared enough to fix it because it isn't really too game-breaking and because it would require me to rewrite the entire "check if no enemies are alive" code
Super solid submission. The push back once you hit the enemies is super satisfying. Great job!
thanks!
A bunch of things I love about this game.
The impact of the slime bullets feels great especially with the retro sfx which I am a sucker for. It fits the theme so well.
What really impressed me was the availability of easy mode, as well as unlockables.
Great job everyone
Thanks! I'm glad I added the easy mode in last minute, some friends playtested after I submit and none have beaten it so far. Being the dev makes it really hard to judge difficulty because I know the most about the game
Oh yeah it really is difficult to judge. I had to keep friends on standby all week just to test out puzzles on them.
Coooool game!!! Each of the enemies and player are cute! Actually, I don't get the theme, would you like to tell me about your design? Anyway, it's a fun game!!!
I interpreted the "you end with nothing" part of the theme as "your body ends with nothing left", I probably could've followed the theme better but oh well
Thanks!
Cool game! I really like the animations
thanks!
