interesting take on the theme, adding a score timer and health to the player would be great, fun game though.
It would really be great if you could check out my game too and let me know what you think.
Thanks for the feedback, I'm going to add a kind of practice mode featuring health (and other things) (as i said in other comments lol) and I will see about the score timer, maybe I will maybe I won't add it.
Also going to check out your game in a sec :D
Fun concept, I like the idea of using your mouse to dodge the bullets! I think some patterns are a bit too precise for this game though. It is really hard to precisely squeeze between the bullets with a mouse and some patterns appear just a bit too suddenly to react, and the fact that dying means starting over makes it very punishing if you don't manage to use your quick reflexes. Other than that I loved dodging the more forgiving patterns and especially the circle one, that was great! Once you get into the groove it really works nicely. I hope you can explore this idea further!
Thanks for the feedback! I plan to add a kind of practice mode later :)
Very fun! Mouse controls are an interesting gameplay experiment for this sort of genre, since it's so easy to accidentally move your mouse and bump into a bullet. (I ended up 'cheating' a little by zooming in.) The song really grew on me too. Good work!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Fun game, I liked the style, and the theme fit well! If your doing future updates I would add some more unique bullet sprites, but for a game jam this was one of the most well polished and enjoyable i've seen on here.
Thank you very much! I'm definitely going to add more shapes.
love it ! It was hard to understand at first but then I got the hang of it. Also, there is this glitch where if you move from one place to another fast enough you can glitch through bullets.
Thanks for telling me, will be fixed!
This was pretty hard! I liked that and gave it a higher score because of it. Fun and fantastic integration with the music. I just wanted to play more for the music XD Would be cool if there was a score or hp that went down instead of instantly losing.
The concept of instantly dying was chosen specifically, but I will add a "practice mode" in the future. (like other games, e.g. Geometry Dash do) Thanks for the feedback!
Nice game ! I love the idea ! The gameplay was a bit hard for me, patterns are hard to read and it go so fast but it is fun.
Nice one. Having any small sound effect (with some delay/echo) would do wonders compared to just abruptly ending the song on death (something that e.g., Super Hexagon did along with similar silent menu).
Definetly going to add that in the future! :)
Very cool idea, I like the mechanics and the control. I found the game a bit too difficult, some bullets were incredibly fast for me to dodge without memorizing the patterns, and I wish we could take a few hits before dying - because I really wanted to get through the entire song but I got a bit stuck on the triangle spiral (but tbh that was a super cool pattern, I just wasn't able to do it haha).
Overall very interesting game. Great job!
If I had the time, I would definetly have added hints, warnings and a practice mode (with checkpoints and invulnerability), but I didn't, those will come in a futute update.
very cool and amazing the idea of the game, and its mechanics and music theme
You made it went well with the theme :D.
Awesome way to implement the themes!
I like the idea! Nice entry!
Nice entry !
Got me playing for a lot of times, checkpoints would have been nice, and I was able to play better without the glow, so good that you included that option, Had fun trying to beat this (was not able to though :P)
Yeah, I would have included warnings and hints to make it more playable if I had the time to :D
I am hoping to add those in a future update!
Really like how this uses the theme, the visuals and music are really nice! Fun idea and will be interesting to see where it goes in the future!
Thank you very much!
