I totally enjoyed this!!! The graphics were great, and the music reminded me of Doom Eternal but slightly less metal lol - fantastic job! The one thing that I'd say is that the character / enemy graphics feel like they're a bit of a different style than the rest of the graphics, but thats no major gripe. Great job!
I'd appreciate it if you could check out my game, Dr. Maniacal's Monster Maker, as well!
Thanks for the feedback yes the graphic are diffrent.I wanted them to contrast so player can recognize background and enemies but i can see how it is a bit weird :D
Also i have played your game its so charming :D
Lovely game! liked the visuals and it's so enjoyable!
Loved the concept and visual style! Addicting game. The game didn't play sounds or music for me.
Have you tried to change the volume in the options menu or is it not playing at all ?
I tried and was still not playing
I dont know what is the problem causing this sorry you had to play it with no music :/
Enjoyably stylish presentation of the characters more defensive/damaging states, in a pretty smooth playing shooter. Some parts of the experience felt a bit awkward though because of the enemy design.
- Favorite part was the strong presentation of your state, the solid rock vs spikes at the extreme ends of defense/attack, and the progressive colors/particles inbetween, kept you aware of it all.
Also think the UI for the defense/attack stat and shield was very clear and concise which was nice.
The general speed and shooting felt comfortable as you play, and I think the permanence of enemies when they died worked well here. I was happy to have completed the game.
- I'm not sure about those birds. It felt like the only way to tackle them was have full shield and wait for them to hit you, because even full attack I couldn't kill them shooting them the whole time before they killed me-except a couple rare times that seemed random so I couldn't tell if it was possible or not. This meant the hallway full of them was just a very slow back and forth take damage, wait to heal, take damage, wait to heal, for that length.
The snails are a nice change of pace, but because it's hard to tell how much damage you've dealt, combined with their 'death' looking the same as while alive, it sometimes made them awkward to battle. Especially in the entrance full of them, that I failed a few times, I couldn't tell if I killed them or not and they popped up and sneaked a shot at me when I thought I was safe.
It may change the pacing a bit, but I think some permanence to you taking damage would be nice, if the bar shrunk so you had max 9/9, then 8/8, etc, within a level and reset the next stage, that way you couldn't get comfortable with the shield up, etc, and would make each contained level more intense.
Thanks for the detalied feedback i know that there are some balancing issues i did not have the time to playtest :/
Also i aggre that snails need a clear visual indicator when they are dead.
I am glad you had fun with my game :D
No worries. Yeah it can be tough to playtest when you're trying to just get things working sometimes ^^;
Glad to hear.
:) thanks for making it.
Nice game! I like that you included the controls in the games world for the player to find!
I thought it was a bit easy, though, 7 Attack/3 Defense seemed to be a sweet spot (at least for me!).
One thing I would improve is enemy positioning. In the third room, I got attacked and instantly killed (I was all out on damage) by the rabbit enemy as soon as the scene loaded.
Glad you enjoyed. 3rd room was meant to be like that to remind players they have to chance their cells in some situations :d
But yeah i could have done it better. Thanks for the feedback :)
Honestley, just awesome. I loved the art, the music, the mechanics. I think the trail that you leave is really cool.
I like the visuals, music. Your mechanic was really interesting.
Nice drawings! i really like the defense mode/attack mode mechanic. I played in full attack mode as much as possible ;p
That was awesome! The enemy variety was great,I personally thought the Snail was the best ;), and the levels were challenging. Great work, keep it up.
Super cool mechanic! This game is really fun to play and I love your use of the scroll wheel to switch between attack/defense. I really enjoyed this! Fantastic job!
Really cool defense/attack system! Nice job!
Ran a 3-7 most of the time, worked pretty good for me! And great game btw! Really satisfying and love the gum-bunnys! Well done!
I liked the game cool concept you can try out my game https://itch.io/jam/blackthornprod-game-jam-3/rate/899688 and give some stars and feedback
I really liked the game. The idea of switching between defense and attack is very clever. Good job!
Very creative and very challenging aswell
Wow! This game consept is really inovative, I like the risk reward you have here, and the enemies are great, they force you to switch between defensive and ofensive.
I really like it!
