Great game, really polished. I really like that time of top down view game where you need to shoot enemies. Really well done. 

Maybe I'm wrong but I think the red laser is used to aim right ? Because it was not aligned with my gun when I was turning around. Fortunatly the shooting is not hard to get use too :)

I think it miss some indications about when a wave start, because the enemies takes some time to arrive to the ship and I was wondering I miss something. And also some indication about what are the objectives during the waves. I though in the other comments that batteries are dropped by ennemies after a certain amount of waves, that could be a clear improvement to give the player more visibility about the next closest objective :)

But appart from that, I love the sounds, the voices, the graphics and the atmosphere of your game ! Great job. 

If you have the time to play and rate my game, I'm still missing the 20 ratings requiered :) Thx ! https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-8/rate/1675823

Good game there buddy! Excellent graphics, sound. Well done!

nice game, have a similar approach to the theme to mine, but i have a question, are the batteries real cause i couldn't find any

Developer

Cheers! Yeah they drop on a certain enemy after x amount of waves, I could definitely improve the game by indicating that more clearly to the player based off the feedback so far.

Great effects and graphics, enjoyable to play. Would be nice if there was a pause button (if there is I couldn’t find it) and waves part was a little too long, I also tried to kill myself and didn’t die when I was 0 hp. Lightning, sounds, and death animation of the enemies was top. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for the feedback! (Esc/P) Paused but had issues on some systems after build. Haven't encountered an issues with the death before but I apprentice you picking up the bug, cheers.

Game was great visually but I couldn't get what am I actually expected to do. Should I pick up more batteries I didn't see or just protect spaceship? And if so for how many waves? I would like some indicators. 

Developer

Hey thanks for taking the time to play the game! Yeah after a set amount of waves an enemy will drop a battery core. Once all cores are collected you are able to complete the mission. This was supposed to be explained in better detail but didn't get a lot of time for play testing/ getting in all the features due to the nature of the JAM, Cheers for the feedback.

Great game! The visuals in the game are great and its fun to play. The sound levels are a bit off though, it was hard to hear the voices over the other sound effects in the game like the shooting sound
The waves also took a bit too long to get to the player

Developer

Thanks heaps for your feedback, ill be sure to do some further sound design and leveling on the project once I get into a bit more development. Really appreciate it!

I was really impressed with this game. I really like it. I love scif fi so this was up my alley! I think aiming had a slight learning curve but it was not too difficult. Sometimes I felt I was aiming right at an alien and it wouldn't hit. I love the art and the voice acting! Very well done!

I couldn't tell if I was supposed to find more batteries because I couldn't find any. If there were more, maybe there could be some way of indicating to the player of what to do next. I wasn't sure. Otherwise I got to wave 11 so that felt pretty good lol. 

Developer

Thankyou heaps for the kind words! Yeah just at the end of wave 11 the enemy would drop a battery core to pickup (you got so close!), once all have been collected you can complete the mission. Appreciate the feedback.

Oh nice! I'll have to try again!

Really cool insanely polished scifi 3rd person shooter.

Pros: amazing graphics, incredible amount of polish, really cool gameplay loop, great ambiance.

Cons: The weapon SFX could have been a bit more polished and I would have liked to see footsteps for yourself and the aliens to better keep track of the environment, I fought off waves for a while but I found it impossible to protect the ship while also searching for batteries (if that is in fact the end goal which was slightly unclear)

Overall really fun and impressive experience.

Developer

Thanks for taking the time to play! Really positive to hear you enjoyed it, I will keep your notes in mind for when I continue development on the project. really helps to hear what parts need improvement, much appreciated.

Nice work. Camera may could be pulled up and away a bit. May want to disable the mouse since you have the aiming light. Aiming was a little difficult, because I didn't know where to best aim at the alien (feet or middle).

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!
