fun game

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

Very fun gameplay; pace is pretty amazing yet challenging. I really like this style of upgrade-to-win, I've seen in other jam game loops - so naturally engaging, but scales really well here.

Obviously the art is phenomenal - actually gives me nostalgia with the skyline, maybe I'm crazy, but It kinda reminds me of Rampage.

There is like one way i found to KINDA cheese the game (you did a good job of anti cheese btw). Missiles dont spawn on the top layer.

wow Congrats on your release!

I love everything about this with one minor detail. It goes by really fast even from the beginning, so it's really hard to stay focused.

This feels like a game I would have sunk far too much time into back on Miniclip or something & I mean that in the best way possible, really great work

Fun game overall! Loved the gameplay loop and the small details like the sprite changing when on the ground :) you know I gotta be rockin that krusty krab hat

The game is over all very solid and the core gameplay is fun, the way the upgrades unfold from one another keeps me wondering what the next upgrade will be. Overall solid game

I honestly wasn't into it that much at first but once I got the first evolution something clicked and I wanted to see how far I could go.  The parallax and art style is lovely, and the only missing piece would be some music. I think this is a really nice little game! Good job!

It’s nice how you go from getting run over by cars to running over cars. Great job!

  • I’d say the game needs one more upgrade path like, “faster fireball firing”
  • The first parallax layer in front scrolls a little too fast and is kind of disorienting
  • Some of the feedback on when I’m hitting the boss versus not feels weak.

I love the little monster and how they progress.

The concept of persistent upgrades adds a unique layer of depth, keeping me hooked for so much time! It's really addicting. Also, the graphics are quite pleasing, although the fast-scrolling background could be a tad straining to watch, perhaps due to its high speed. Aside from this, it's truly a delightful entry. Good job!

Enjoyed playing this - it's such a playable game! Solid arcade action...

I liked the concept of constant progression through replaying, that worked really well!

One think I'd suggest is to have an in game cursor so you know where you're targeting the fireball better... I was playing full screen and I could hardly see the mouse cursor so didn't know where I was aiming.

All-in-all, a really cool and playable game - great job!

Man I suck at bullet hells lol. I played wave one multiple times but as soon as the cops showed up I got mercilessly gunned down. Very nice presentation and obviously appeals to it's primary demographic. I like the idea of an upgrade / evolution system. Honestly I just kinda like upgrade systems in general.

I saw it with my own two eyes how this game progressed. How with every update game became better and better to amazing state that author can be proud of.

loved watching you develop this in the Discord server, the gameplay loop is pretty fun, you got nice and creative with the evolutions and enemy types, the upgrades feel like they're actually meaningful; overall a solid little jam game.

if I had to make a complaint, the fast scrolling background really put a LOT of strain on my eyes but that's nothing a little tweaking can't fix

finished the game, nice upgrade system, decent game time length to maxed out the game and finish

I liked the evolution system, the presentation of the tutorial and that it showed how many waves until the boss. I felt like the background was a bit disorienting and had too much going on. Upgrading my monster and seeing it transformed felt great.

Surprisingly fun!!

Great stuff, I love how the game has changed throughout the jam and I like the version we ended up with. I feel like generally movement could feel a bit more polished but the gameplay is fun and difficult with meaningful progression.

Game progression feels good ! I have some motion sickess issues, and a bit with the pacing! Otherwise nice one

i have no idea why this game is so addictive, really fun loop, enjoyed it!
