Love the pixel art and animation! The idea of slimes grouping together to create a new one is pretty cool. Good work
Nice game, really enjoyed the main character animation, and loved the detail of shaking camera when you get closer to a big black hole. And luring the slimes into they is veeeery cool.
I really like the graphics and the game play mechanics
Don't forget to check out mine
I really loved the physics of it all, the black particles flying around everywhere, big black holes absorbing little ones and of course the bullets going around the black holes. I particularly love the screenshake, it gave a real sense of power as you approached the black hole. I feel like there could be some extra variety, perhaps different enemy types or maybe different weapons? Perhaps there could be some strategic way of shrinking and eventually destroying black holes to keep the game going longer and add some extra depth to clear the battlefield. Even without this depth, I played a few times in each difficulty and really enjoyed it!
Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate that! We will definitely improve this game after jam!
Really liked the pixel art! The gameplay was really fun and I liked how the black holes stack and become bigger. A little bit of background music would really help.
Hard mode -> don't kill anything until you have a REALLY big slime -> kill a small one -> make the big one fall into the hole -> enjoy the show.
Hey, I really liked the game, maybe it's missing a subtle background music to keep the mood
I'm glad you liked it! We will definitely improve it after jam!
My blackholes grown up till I felt like drunk xd and interactions of holes with bullets were amazing! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for playing! :D
You guys seriously did a great job on the artwork. Everything looks great. I like the gunplay a lot too. It adds an extra layer of depth that you have to stop for a second each time you shoot, so you always have to be deciding whether to shoot or run.
Good luck in the ratings! Please consider checking my game out if you have time: https://ntwiles.itch.io/black-hole-flyer
Thank you! I have already rated yours, impressive work!
You didn't like it? 🙁
This was also my first game and first jam, I know your pain, but you achieved a lot more than I did! I liked how the black holes both help and hurt you, Its sort of like a shoot-em up version of Snake, where the farther you progress you have to plan out where you kill your enemies and how to navigate around your own path you've created, great job!
Thanks for feedback, we appreciate it. I have to admit that your game is really good and has nice art, it was one of few I played until the end and enjoyed it!
That's really kind of you, thank you!
Nice graphics and the black hole looks menacing when expanding... well done
very nice game! style reminds me a bit Pokemon! Really cool
run blue boy run, and my whole screen almost turn to purple lol. nice game and love the artstyle 😊
We are happy that you had fun playing it, I done pixel art by myself for the first time, I am glad you liked it!
Nice simple game.
Simple but cool! Especially funny when you try to 'feed' the blackhole as much slimes, as possible
Also I think that would be cool if you could shoot while moving
Fun Game, gameplay variations would be good in future updates. :) rated
The art style is great.Very fun but you should add music and gameplay variations.
Great Game!!
Cool game but there was an audio bug where sometimes it would play on one side of my headset and sometimes another.
But i like the concept and it was pretty fun to play
Thanks for your feedback!
nice game, but needs some variations as game goes on.
good job :D
Thanks, we will definitely try to improve our game! :D
Such a nostalgic artstyle... Love it!
I am glad you liked it!
