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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Developer

Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot. I'm glad you had fun.

Submitted

I love the aesthetics of the game, the gameplay is simple but fun, especially using the dash. The improvements add a lot of depth to it. Congrats!

Submitted

Very fun game to play. It feels really polished and complete. Keep going!

Submitted

Really interesting game!

Submitted

Nice game, quite fun. It would be nice to somehow know the enemy's HP to prioritize. Also I found the beggining quite a bit hard with such a long reload time. Aside from that, overall a very nice experience!

It's interesting point you make about health bars, I want players to have a feeling of how powerful they are through intuition without bogging them down with information overload. But as you've pointed out not knowing can really sway the outcome of a run. Definitely something to think about after the Jam. Thanks for playing and taking the time to leave feedback. 👍

Submitted

Yeah I agree that a health bar can overload the UI, but HP could be represented by color, effects, or pretty much anything else!

Submitted

Nice Game, but i found that reading the text font was a little hard

Developer

Thanks for playing and leaving good feedback. Accessibility is important and something I'll look at addressing post jam. I appreciate the kind words. 

Submitted

Died on layer 8, those spiky guys can be tough! Had a lot of fun, really liked the interest mechanic. Good stuff

Developer

Well played! The game is challenging (maybe overly so for a jam game) but depth 8 is impressive. The core of the world / the final level is just after depth 14 so you were well on your way to getting there. Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed.

Submitted

Graphics were really nice and the story of the game is cool. everything seemed super nice and polished was a really fun game to play!

Submitted

Love the graphics and the gameplay feels nicely varied. Also the gameplay occurring in a window adds to the nice arcade feel, which is great. Good job!

Submitted

Really nice game! Love  the graphics too!

Submitted

Wow, this game is really challenging which I liked, and the theme is used great. I liked the pixelated art style and upgrades. Awesome game mate

Developer

Glad you enjoyed, I hope the difficulty wasn't too off-putting, thanks for playing.

Do not worry, making the players suffer in my games is a literal hobby for me
