The game is very hard, but I couldn't stop playing! Just having to dodge and dash without focusing on aiming as well felt like a nice change of pace. The music and art are simple, but good.
If you checked out my submission as well, I would appreciate that :)
The game is very difficult. There's a lot of content, so you can probably play for hours without getting bored. The player feels kinda awful to control, though. They don't have much acceleration, so control feels difficult. The lack of an invincibility after getting hit makes dying from a mistake very easy to happen. The game is relentless without any leniency. The game has cute art and nice accompanying sounds, though. Great work!
Thx for testing. Sorry for the “awful” controls ;) Some other players loved it. So maybe it’s just the game that doesn”t run on desired fps on your machine ? Because, on my machine the player have a total acceleration, switching from 0 to desired speed instant. Maybe I miss something ;)
the game is very well polished. The art style is really cool, and the controls are very responsive. I loved the mixture of puzzle and bullet hell, I think that when you open the map the game could pause, I took several hits while looking at the map ><. Super cool game, congratulations.
It is hard to believe that this a jam game. This feels like a game that took months of effort and I should be paying for. I love the variety of rooms. The music is great. The only complaint I could make is that the door hitboxes felt too big, but I also had the tendency to rub against the walls to avoid bullets.
Thanks for your kind words. Yeah I see after there is a small imprecision about the door hitbox. Will correct that after the voting period ends ;)
Nice sound effects and visual effects! The variety of the different room objectives was fun. I feel like removing the acceleration from the game would make it feel more fluid.
A couple of minor issues aside (floaty controls and massive hitboxes being the main things) this is a great entry. Looks great and is fun to play, with some challenging rooms towards the end. This one though? This isn't possible is it?!
haha ! Yes it’s designed to be impossible as I miss some time to design a finish scene ;) But apparently a player beat it ! Idk how, I can’t do that at all ;)
Well play to access to last level anyway. Thanks for testing ;)
Love the soundtrack, love the visuals, just feel like the player isn't very responsive. Other than that, great game
50 LEVELS ?!?! AMAZING GAME WOW
Very fun concept! really liked the design and it definelly gets challenging after some levels, i don't have any real complains other then i personally would like a more free movement for the player character, it's probally a design choice but i felt like the player is too heavy and slow compared to the rest of the game, but thats more on what i personally like then how the game "should" be.
Very fun and polished! Some UX and UI problems and the game gets to hard to fast. Also perhaps making the hitbox a bit smaller than the avatar would make the game feel less unfair
Very fun game. It feels very nice to play, and the challenge is great.
Very nice game ! I love graphics and sound design. Some rooms are so hard, i did not reach the end of the game yet but did you cared about the possibility to perfect each room without being hit ?
Congrats for it !
Thx. You’re right : I miss some work on some room’s pattern ! Maybe in an update ;)
Really cool game! But sadly, after a while, the game got impossible... the dash was no longer working, and the animations were broken! But otherwise, the music is very good! The graphics are very cute too :D Great job
Thx for testing. Wow, you’re the first one with this bug. Sorry ^^ Curious about what happens and wich config ?
Instant fun and solid package overall
I like the original spin on the concept, where you've turned a bullet hell in more of a puzzle game where you have to solve rooms to move on and with no weapon for the player you essetially just focus on dodging.
The vector art is really good, it has that distinctive cartoony flash game style to it ^^
also a good point on approachability hre as it starts slow and the fact you don't fight back really helps learning how to avoid certain patterns since the game is focus on one task to either survive or activate items.
My only gripe here is that you can accidentally go backwards if you didn't remember which door you came from afet some intense dodging, so it could be nice to have only the next level's door open.
Other than that like i said solid and polished, good job :)
Many thanks for your kind words and for testing the game ;)
Yeah for the door, at the start of the jam, I think about a complicated maze where you can get lost, but I simplify this as the game is already difficult like this.
No problem, haha well it is an interesting idea of mixing all this with a maze, but still this would definitively make the game harder so good call there ^^
this was so much fun tough but very addictive... this one is a keeper, you should make this into a full game with more features , will you continue to make this game after the Jam ? love the music, where did you get it ?
Wow. A big thanks for your feedback.
If the game is apreciated, I can consider continue working on it, but I have already some other projects to finish ;)
The music come from GDC audio bundle 2019. You can grab it for free on their site, good ressource ;)
sounds good thanks .
I thought it was very good, and well done, the look is very different, it draws attention, the gameplay and mechanics are great, and the audio and music, I thought there was something missing that would bring an emotion to the game, but it is well
agreed ! A bit more narrative for example ;)
Very good game! Quite addicting, I must say. It really shows that you put some time into this! Gameplay and mechanics worked quite well, the controls were almost perfect and easy to get into. It's also great that you managed to put some options for sound in this game. Some things that would be a nice addition to the game:
- a clearer visual or sound feedback of when the dash has become active again
- timer would not start again after death (so you'd see the duration of your whole session)
- you couldn't go back to earlier rooms (some times I accidentally went back)
- a death counter (as you die a lot xD)
Overall, super good gaming experience! I got to the last stage but didn't manage to beat the final level, it was brutal. For me the difficulty was just fine, games like these should be really challenging.
Thanks for your detailed feedback and your kind words.
Your propositions was on my todo list, but miss some time.
Don’t say to others, but the final level is kind of brutal because I miss time to create a finish scene ;) I never success to finish it !
Ok, now I feel better, knowing that even the dev didn't manage to beat the level! ;D
Good graphics, UI, and game feel. Gameplay was kind of difficult.
Thanks,
I was bad at bullet hell game, so was not sure about the difficulty :)
I try to had something progressive btw
Really hard game but it has very good graphics and it's very fun
Rating and comment based on Video (as i'm on a Mac, and there's no WebGL Build.. please make one! :P, but good job adding video to watch as it gave me a good feel).
Great art and sound, great theme implementation (both confinement and bullet hell), looks quick to get to grips with, but also fun to play. And for a solo dev in 10 days as well! Great going! Hope you slept! :D
Thanks, I will try to add a Mac build. WebGL is kinda not as optimized as deskptop version.
