I could feel the effort that went in. The graphics and sound design were good. I was a bit confused what my health was and what the strikes bar was.

Developer

Thanks! There technically isn't a health bar per se, but the player gets damaged and is a lot slower as a result. The only way to lose is if all the lightning rods get destroyed. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

There is a good enemies variety and it is really good for game like this! You should also try to add some new mechanics for the player during the match!

Anyway it is a good one!

Submitted

Really solid! I'd recommend putting in a dedicated reload button for a little bit of convenience.

Submitted

Nice enemy variety and controls, I think there was a bug because I wasn't able to select speed all game. Other than that nice job!

Developer

Yeah I'm aware of that issue, will fix it later :D Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Really fun! I especially like the enemy variety, and the pixel art is really nice!

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed

Really fun and polished game! The controls feel smooth, and I loved the unique enemy designs. The atmosphere you’ve created with the music and sound effects really adds to the experience. I think making the fire rate a bit faster could amp up the action without breaking the balance. Overall, it’s a well-crafted game that kept me engaged to the end—great job!

Developer

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun making it, as I've never done this type of game before. The wave spawn system was quite a logic puzzle to figure out haha, there is still a lot of space for improvement. I'm glad you got to the end :D Sometimes a weird bug happens that prevents that haha.

Submitted

Hee-ho. Looks very good. Nice game

Developer

Hee-ho. Thank you very much :D

Submitted

Well design and polished game, the control feels good. Enemy looks unique also, love it.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I'm glad you found it fun to play.

I like the mood of the game. Well chosen music, and ambient SFX are cool too.
I think you could be more generous with the firerate (and lower the damage to not break the balance).
I found that the art of the outpost and main character (except the lightning rod) too flat in comparison with the rest.
Other than that I found it pleasant to play, and got to the end.
Well done.

Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I'm planning to update the game once the jam ends so this is good to hear. 

Submitted

Really fun game!
The music are outstanding too
Would love if you check my game too :D

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I will try and have a look for sure!

Submitted

Really adorable, I even got angry with these animals, consider making the shot a little faster!

If you could play my game too, I would really appreciate it: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2970215

Developer

Thanks! Didn't think someone would find the designs adorable haha, not what I was going for but I'll take it. I'll have a look! 

Love the pixel art.

Submitted

Best art i've seen in the gamejam so far. I like the different types of enemies too.

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad I was able to add multiple types.

Submitted

I really liked the visual and audio design. Great job ^^,

Developer

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

The art style reminded me of FTL and all in all I think it was a very well-made game; would not change much but I did kind of roll around wondering what to do because the flashing red button looked dangerous; I thought it was like a self-destruct or something not the thing that starts the level 

Developer

Thanks! Haha yeah that was supposed to be an alarm warning for an incoming storm

Submitted

I found another Outpost entry, hello! :D
Very polished, no bugs, nice art and it's fun to see new types of enemies. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a bunch! Honestly had no clue what I was gonna call the game until the last hour :D I had ideas for more enemies but other things had more priority haha.

Submitted

Fun game, good job!

Developer

Thank you! I had a lot of fun making i

Submitted

It feels nice to play, the bullets could use more juice but fun little gay. Good Job.

Developer

Thanks! Definitely would have loved to add some more polish :D

Submitted

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad to hear it :D
