Didn't quite get what was I supposed to do at start, but it was fun when I did. Cool game.
Holy cow! It's good game
really fun to play, graphics are simple but enough to be a winner
Fun little roguelite! Loved that I had to chain kill enemies to avoid them spawning back in! Pixel art is fantastic and gives a really great retro vibe to it :)
I like the idea and it fit the theme well, not sure if it is intentional game design, but i noticed enemy often stucked in wall chasing you, it does make the game more manageable though because you are not always in danger.
One aspect of the game that i never really utilized well is the mirror, i believe maybe it is because of how limited player view range is, i dont really find use for it, i just mainly lure enemy in straight line and shoot.
Overall a good solid little game.
I meant to create a combo system that would boost your points immensely for killing enemies through mirrors, but since the laser's hitbox was made of box colliders the enemies could hit multiple at once, so I eventually scrapped the idea. Also the enemies were meant to not see you through walls, I copied code from one of my old jams for that, but it didn't work and I just never bothered fixing it :-/
art felt a bit chaotic, and the controls were a bit wonky. but cool idea
I love the ghost graphics(look at mine._.) and the nice caerashake, its a complete new concept, I've never seen this before, good job! pls checkout my game too
Interesting concept, needed to lure enemies to kill multiple per shot to progress. The game's graphics is very smooth and fun!
what in the actual-
wowzer this game is too good
hhhhh
I love the graphics and fast pace gameplay! Keep up the good work!
Great game! Made me think how to play which is not what I usually do
100% agree with Eric in previous comment- I absolutely loved the movement and animation. Felt very snappy and there were times I (happily) died, just because I was mesmerized by my character's animation.
This game is a standout for me. Its concept feels natural and intuitive, and the gameplay loop flows seamlessly. The simple AI of the enemies is a highlight, as it allows players to strategize and take out groups of enemies with precision.
However, I do have a minor critique: the camera’s close proximity can be problematic. I died quite a few times from not seeing an enemy when moving up and down the level. Perhaps a zoom-out feature could alleviate this issue. On the other hand, this change could make the game easier, so adding some sort of time pressure or combo meter could create a more challenging dynamic. This would make every shot count, even in situations where the optimal line-up is not present, creating a sense of urgency and increasing the stakes for players seeking to achieve rewards.
Thanks for the positive feedback! Yeah, I see where you're coming from with the camera proximity,I didn't actually play the game in fullscreen until later in development, which was a mistake :-( I was actually intending on adding comboes if i had more time,, in particular one that encourage the use of killing enemies through mirrors, but I ran short on time.
This is a very fun game, with great graphics and a fun gameplay loop and rouge-like elements 5/5!
This game it's very hard to me but i like the music, the music is kinda like a anime song
Amazing concept with great execution! I love the creative take on the theme and it's just plain fun!
Very juicy! Super fun to shoot and run around. Makes for some fast-paced tactical gameplay!
Really nice game, with good graphics and solid gameplay!
Very nice!
Really fun idea considering most ideas match the theme with the player
Laser are very satisfy to use and the gameplay are really creative.
