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 ;)
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!
I’m so happy that you liked it also being a fan of your games. The plan is actually to improve and expand on it. Not before playing more other entries though ;)
Hey, thanks for playing! I’m considering temporarily powerups to give a little rest to the player while keeping the current pace high :D. Btw your game is very good!!
my hands were worn out after a few rounds of playing this one! have you thought about making the arrows pierce the target to make it easier to kill more enemies? you'd probably have to make the arrow hitbox a lot smaller and change the required kills to balance it out though :)
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.
Thanks for your kind words! Will definitely consider to expand it, at least adding the boss fight after that :D. The score to activate the portal is not that much higher than yours. if you approach it as if it would be a space shooter you'll beat the game in no time!
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 playing! you got very close to activate the portal! Veeery close! Also thanks for the suggestions. there is a lot to improve and definitely hud is one of those. you mean that right?

Wow really cool! Reminds me a bit of that Nokia Game "space impact" <3
I didn't know that game but from what I see the comparison makes sense! Thanks for playing!
Great work! Enjoyed the look of the game, wish there was a way to shoot up.
Thanks for playing and streaming! It was cool to see someone playing my game live!
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.

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! :)
Thanks for playing! Do you think the difficulty/button mashing level is too high?
Btw I still have to play your game! I’m playing a few every night… Looking forward!

Great little game, wish I had thought of it!
Like the other player, I couldn’t activate the portal, my best score was 70.
Keep expanding it beyond the 20 seconds, I think you have a great idea/foundation to expand upon here.

yes, the HUD. and looking forward to an update. Followed ✔️ :)
Thanks for motivating me! Also looking forward to meet you in the next game jam!
