Honestly the idea of ammo and health being the same is best used in this game. The scoreboard makes this very addicting, at time of writing I am 3rd place as 'Dorcat'. Amazing game, graphics are a bit simple but I understand working within your own art skills can be hard. Great job!
Thanks so much! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Really dislike losing my shield when I touch them because they spawned on me. The music was a good fit. The death sound was a bit loud. I would have liked a little less randomness with the red enemies projectiles.
The mechanic with shooting using up your shield was cool. Its also cool how getting hit shrinks my hitbox. Unfortunately, because the movement wasn't super tight the smaller hitbox didn't do much for me. The scoreboard at the end is a very good idea.
Really fun game. I played for a while and managed to get 4th place.
Thanks for the feedback! Maybe I can try bouncing the player away from an enemy if they come into contact with them? I'll iterate on it and make a change in the future. Thanks for playing!
Had fun with it, maybe a bit to simple graphics but fun gameplay overall!
Thanks for playing! Visuals are definitely not my strong suit, but I am working to improve on it.
5/5 for everything on this one! You've taken such a simple game play and really done something unique with it. I LOVE the way your bullets reduce your shield and you can pick them back up and heal. So cool and really addictive! Nice one :)
Wow, thank you so much! I am really glad you enjoyed it :)
A very interesting take of the theme! The game is enjoyable, but the controls felt a little wonky, like the player was moving on ice. A nice game overall
Thanks for playing! The slippery controls were kind of intentional to go with the frantic vibe, but I can definitely iterate on them some more to make it easier for the player to control. Thanks for the feedback!
Took a little bit to figure out (I didn't notice the explanation in the description), but once I did it was a fairly enjoyable experience, with a clean easy to understand aesthetic and nice controls. I found it a little idfficult at times to try and collect my bouncing bullets but quite often they were destroying the spawning enemies anyway so it wasn't a major issue. Overall good experience.
Thanks for the feedback! Eventually I want to add a little in-game tutorial for the mechanics, but I just didn't have the time yet.
I love the idea! I didn't read the description first and got confused about the limited bullets, which gave me some crappy score at once. But when I figured it out, it made me so happy! So I'm glad I didn't read up about the mechanics before. Definitely re-playable!
Thanks for the fun!
Thanks so much! I love trying to figure out game mechanics without overt explanations, but I was slightly worried players wouldn't pick up on the reloading mechanic so I added some more explanation on the page. So I am really glad you were able to figure it out without the explanation text!
This was cool. I like the reloading mechanic. Movement felt a bit icey but maybe that was intention or my computer is a bit buggy. Got very crazy.
Thank you! The movement is supposed to be a little bit fast and slippery to go with the kind of hectic vibe, but I can probably iterate on it a bit to make it a little more controllable.
Really fun mechanics to reclaim your bullets. This gets hectic very fast! The movement and the bullets feel great. Nice job
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
The game works pretty well, getting your bullets back and throwing them back feels good and throwing your bullets before taking a refilling consumable feels even better.
Thanks so much! Making a game feel good to play is so important, so I am really glad you felt that way.
Really fun bullet hell once you get the hang of it and gets very chaotic after a while, good game.
Thanks so much!
This was surprisingly fun. The bullets bouncing around was super hectic and fun. Nice work!
Thanks for playing, and glad you liked it :)
The chaos, when multiple bullets are bouncing around, is wonderful. Thank you for sharing this with us.
