The enemy AI is very polished. I love how they move. There is one time the enemy spawn into my face and kill me instantly...
I feel a lot of impact when I hit an enemy shape, but the game is not really responsive when I earn bits or getting hit (no sound effect or visual)

I also personally think the screen get too messy sometimes I can't find which is the bit to collect while focus on shoot/evade.

Nice job! love the shader!

this game has awesome post processing graphics lol.

i got like 6660 points. this game has really good visuals

nice :D 

Submitted

Awesome game, but i'm just bad.

I really like your entry, but felt it was to hard, then I seen the leaderboard, and realized i'm just bad :P

Although the music was really repetitive, a really cool feature to add to combat this, mind you extremely difficult would be to have sfx upon enemy death that matched the audio. This way as your killing the enemies your also making a really cool soundtrack.


Again, really cool game :)

Submitted

pretty cool game, and that blow when the enemy dies is the best death effect in the jam so far.

i like how there is a full leader board it's really cool :)

Submitted

I absolutely loved this game! I played it for over 10 minutes trying to get in top 3 on the leaderboard. I would love if this game was on mobile! I loved the music and the simplistic art with shapes. It was very fun to play! Good job! I would also appreciate if you would check out my game :D

Submitted

This was good fun. It got very hectic very quickly! The leaderboard is a nice touch.

Submitted

Deserves more ratings bro

Really nice, arcade-like gameplay and it looks great. The sound from the blaster gets a little repetitive after a while, but I could just lower the SFX volume so it was fine. Leaderboards were a really nice touch since they made me motivated to continue playing. Good job! :)

Submitted

Online leaderboard is really cool, and the pace of the game is great. It was a bit difficult but pretty fun!

Submitted

This game has so much potential and its insane that u had the time to add a leaderboard well done!

Submitted

This game so addicting, I top the highest score and I instantly hit restart and forgetting there's a submit score button. One of the best i've played in the jam

Submitted

I like it, was very fun and well made! I only got somewhere around 600 points lmao. (Ngl game kinda gives me "mobile game" vibes hehe).

Submitted

Fun, fast paced action. Very well made!

Thank you! I'll get around to your game later, I don't have access to my Windows PC at the minute. It'll be towards the end of the week I think 😅

I like dynamic games, but not so difficult) I barely scored 700 points ...

Submitted

Really cool! Reminds me of Geometry Wars and the online leaderboard is very nice. Keep working on this and put it on mobile, this has potential

Developer

Thank you! 😁I'll need to work out on-screen thumbsticks for mobile, I might just go for Xbox first 🤔

I'll play and give feedback on your game once I'm back on my Windows PC, will be a little bit of time before I get to it sorry!

Submitted

The shooting and fast movement is very fun but the infinite map  and the fact that enemies don't spawn fast enough when you're constantly moving entices you to just choose one direction and run, collecting all the bits on the way. Overall, great game for what did you say? 24h?

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Yeah it is not particularly well balanced unfortunately, though for a "post-jam" version I am definitely going to fix that. I've got a lot of possible ideas! 

It was around 24 hours, yeah 😅

Really fun Game!
I liked the overall look and feel of the game. The online Leaderboard is a nice touch!
The only semi-criticism i could give is that i found it pretty hard to regain my bits and just ended up drifting diagonally through the map until i had collected some. But overall a pretty fun experience!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I definitely meant to add health regen pickups, I just didn't get around to it unfortunately. I've played your game, just waiting for the youtube video to upload - I'll comment on your game page when it's done!

Online leaderboard! Great job, very polished!  I was a little confused as to what I needed to do to get a powerup (run over the star things? shoot the star things?).  Music was excellent as well.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! You just move near the blue pentagons, they'll automatically be added. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I'll get to your game when I've got my windows PC, which might be a little while 😬

Great game!!, I am not so good at this but it's very fun!

Developer

This game is amazing! The graphics and visual effects are cool and the game is really fast pace. You have to get used to the controls and mechanics though (I didn't know that explosions damaged you for quite some time for example). When you do however you could play this all day long. Overall a great game and the one I played most so far!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely make sure I make the explosion damage more clear in the post-jam version :) I've given my feedback for your game on your page, and uploaded a gameplay video.
