Great work! Enjoyed the look of the game, wish there was a way to shoot up.
Simple concept but well executed!
I agree with anonalpa in that the feedback when the player is hit should be stronger. Maybe add pushback. Or just no feedback but instadeath.
I don't mind not knowing how far I am from the threshold number to open the portal. I feel that's part of the stress.
Would it be easy to add a leaderboard? (I scored 83 when I beat the game)
Replaying the game, I may have spotted a little bug. When firing with z the player is also pushed up, which doesn't happen when playing with j.
Also thank you for adding arrows for the inputs. I have an azerty keyboard layout and I can't properly play wasd games.
Thanks for playing it and for your precious tips! Player feedback was something I’ve tried to implement during the game jam but it was a very buggy implementation and I ended up removing it until I understand how to properly do it. The engine is still new to me…Definitely on my to-do list.
Leaderboard is a cool idea for replayability and retro/arcade feel. I should look into that!
I will try to replicate the bug you mentioned to fix it. This is totally unexpected. :(
Finally I’m also an arrows guy more than wasd, so rest assured that my games will always have that ;)
Thanks!
I made it to 70! But I have to take a break now and lie down for a moment. Very intense gameplay, super smooth to play. Graphics and music are perfectly complementary to the game. With some levels, I can see this being expanded into a bigger game and being enormously rewarding to play!
Nice little game !! My 'z' button will die before the boss :-D
wow, brutal kill count requirement on this one! i had to channel my inner button masher to get through that portal! :)
hey Gubby, haven't thought about the piercing mechanic actually but it seems ton of fun! thanks for suggesting! as for the difficulty I've received contrasting feedback which confuses me on what to do. some people found it fair, others couldn't make it to the portal. i wanted it to be challenging but not unfair.
great little action game. not sure how many i need to take out (apparently 72 isnt enough) but had fun trying. i appreciate the challenge and that it retains our best score but would like the text/icons to be a little larger/easier to see.
thanks for sharing!
