I will be keeping this and becoming #1.
Interesting little game, the shrimp is very fun to pilot. I managed to get out of the drone's grip pretty much by holding all the keys down, and it would give up on me. I got over 600 points and by then the lightning was coming fast.
yeah, the best way to get out of the grip is mashing, but if you wait a while and don't get dragged off the edge, you'll be fine a lot of the time and he'll let you go
Made it to the top 10! I liked the presentation and the theme, the lil shrimp bot is v cute :)
I wonder if it could be interesting to try and use lighting to your advantage in order to defend yourself against the drones?
yep, if you kite the drones into a lightning strike they do explode and give you a ton of point
Nice! I I tried but must've messed up, will give it another shot :)
yeah, just make sure you aren't grabbed by one when it gets hit because you'll both go flying!
I had a lot of fun with this! Yes, the shrimp hitbox is a little sus and I would appreciate a highlight of where im about to place a pylon, but i genuinely liked every minute I spent playing (aka trying to be number 1 on the leaderboards)
yeah, the only hitbox on the shrimp is the head because I didn't want players getting screwed by the funny wiggle physics
Interesting idea!
I didn't quite get why shrimp - but I totally loved the shrimp movement animation :) Although death from lighting is a bit weird, especially at first - it's counter-intuitive that the shrimp gets shoved off the building when it gets a lighting hit :) Also the enemies are a bit too hard to manage - I never managed to get one killed while it was grabbing me. Maybe they should be introduced a bit later, when you have at least a few towers?
That said - great submission, and a quite unique game mechanic!
yeah, they are a bit rough to deal with at first, I had COVID the whole game jam so I couldn't get a better spawning system implemented in time. Had to spend most of the competition either passed out or puking, so I really didn't get as much done as I would have liked.
This is great, I had a lot of fun with this. I like that you place the lightning rods which increases the lightning rate which increase the difficulty inherently. The only issue I have is I think when being grabbed by a drone you have to press the direction that it is pulling you in, which I think is a bug. Great job on this one!
you can wiggle any direction as long as you mash fast enough
Awesome little game of cat and mouse. Watching those robots fly when zapped made me so happy that they tried to mess with the shrimp. Graphics were great, music was fitting, sfx hit hard. I liked that getting grabbed wasn't a death sentence, mashing out made for some tense struggles as my rods were going off left and right around me. Fantastic entry!
