The card mechanic is a really interesting take on upgrades. I like how it allows for multiple builds that can be changed and experimented with easily.

Overall, really nice work, but I feel as though the pacing (specifically the speed of all objects from the player to the enemies) could be increased.

An interesting game with simple graphics. Nice work)

Submitted

Great game! The idea is creative, I like the way you implemented the game to the "Diving Deeper" theme.

Submitted

Nice and fun game !

Liked the upgrade system

The graphics and sounds are very good

Submitted

Really fun game. I really liked the arcade style feel. I play a lot of mobile games and it felt like this could fit well in that genre with stackable upgrades, rolling for better rewards etc. My strategy in evolved into letting them get close so I could land all my shots. Lots of fun to play. Great game.

Very very fun gameplay, loved building the deck to shoot as many projectiles as possible!!!

Developer(+1)

Awesome, the vision of the game was that you could the play the way you wanted to play, Lots of bullets, high damage sniper, rapid fire shotgun. I'm glad you had fun, thanks for playing.

Loved this game, the one I had the most fun with so far! 

I think something could be improved here and there. For example, I would like more clarity about stats, for example how much damage I do and how much damage an upgrade grant. Also legendary upgrade are just too strong, nullify the challenge after you buy one or two.

In my opinion the graphics are not bad, but some elements should stand out more. For example enemy and projectile are almost the same, the player character has almost the same color as the background...

Also you could add an explanation about how interest work, I figured out it's like how some auto-chess game works (cool idea btw, it works very well!) but it's not clear at first.

Overall it's a very nice game, good job!

I really appreciate you leaving such detailed feedback. These are all great points you've mentioned, things I tend to miss when I've spent too much time in the trenches playtesting. A detailed stats panel was something I was really hoping to get in but out of fears of people seeing it and thinking this game was some spreadsheet management sim it had to drop off, at least for the Jam version. But it does warm my heart to know someone cares on a level where they want to know exactly how much something buffs them as opposed to "MORE DAMAGE PLEASE".

Thank you for playing.

Feels nice. A little slow for my tastes but still challenging.

Developer

Thanks for playing. I welcome your feedback. As the deadline approached the game played a lot quicker; movement, bullets, reloads were all a lot faster. Unfortunately a few of my play testers couldn't get past the first level and so it made sense as a Jam entry to dial it all back. I want to return after the Jam and look at making it a much snappier, high octane experience. Thank you for your time and feedback.

Well polished, good graphics and audios. Combat was fun. Good job !

Can you try and rate my game ?

Submitted

Nice job:D

Submitted

Very fun to play, easy controls, the graphics is consistent and aesthetically pleasing. Good job :)

Submitted

This was insanely fun! Everything felt polished. Definitely one of my faves this jam!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed. Thank you for playing!

Submitted

THIS IS AWESOME. One of my favorites so far! It feels really polished. Challenging. It feels like Hades - Jam version. The music and art style are both great. Gameplay is spot on and the level of content is really great. Incredible job.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for the kind words. Hades is one of those games that I'm constantly in awe of so that's nice of you to say. It was one of those Jams where things were constantly going wrong so I'm glad the final product was something you felt was a solid entry. I appreciate your time to play the game and leave feedback. Thank you.

Submitted

Amazing game! Feels really polished :) The art style is simple but also appealing.

Submitted

it seems like such a simple game, but it's very addictive, it seems to me it would be fun to make minor changes to the appearance of the character depending on the selected powerups

Developer

This is a very cool idea. I like the sounds of your character visually altering alongside your projectiles and shot pattern, it would help sell the feeling of being invested in your deck and unique build. Thanks for playing and leaving a good suggestion.

beautyfull game! awesome aestethics and gameplay

Wow! This deserves more reviews/comments, this game is definitely my top pick for this game jam!
