I remember seeing this on the discord channel and was keen to play it! I love how it's kind of an RTS Bullet Hell, interesting and very cool!
Thanks for playing and rating! Btw, what level did you get to??
I played this game before it was open for review and now that I've played it again some of the issues I had with the game got worked out.
I think the idea nd the strategy style of this game doesn't exactly fit a traditional bullet hell but I don't find that to detract from the player experience as this game can stand on its own as a strategy game.
I had some changes I wanted to make with the control scheme and knowing when I am going to deploy which was fixed/changed before this build came out.
Well done on this submission!
Thanks for playing and playtesting! Btw, what level did u reach?
Level 4
Unfortunately, the game doesn't work on macOS :(
Try waiting for a few seconds, it takes a while to load
This is a truly interesting game and very detailed and thoughtful tutorial session. But still the game mech seems too hard for me. If we can just place the soldiers to the right place, and let them auto aim and fire that will be much easier to play and we can focus more on the strategy instead of control.
BTW, didn't thought that water cannot pass bullets for me...
Nice music and art!
Thank you for playing! Water cannot pass bullets?? Please explain, this sounds like a bug or misunderstanding
Hello! 👋
Overall: ✨ This game had a lot of mechanics and systems, impressive for such a short development time. Great job on the submission!
Fun: 🎉 The game was fun, and I could see the effort you've put into it. I wasn't able to beat level 7 after a few attempts, but it seems doable with the right upgrades (I kept trying to increase my melee damage).
Visual: 🎨 The visuals were minimalistic but didn't detract from the game experience.
Audio: 🎶 The audio was basic but fitting and didn't take away from the gameplay.
Theme: 📚 I did not see the theme of "consequences" implemented, and it didn't quite feel like a bullet hell game.
Other feedback: Loved the tutorial that highlighted things and walked you through the mechanics. This must have been a lot of great programming fun!
Good job on the submission regardless! 👏
Thanks for playing and writing such a detailed review! About the theme, i implemented buffs which have consequences as the enemy gets a buff as well.
Ooh I see! Sorry I missed that. Great job again on the submission!
This was such a refreshing thing to see, having an RTS type experience awesome job. Got to level 3
Wow, I'm really impressed at how many mechanics there are and the full tutorial. This was a really awesome game. Unfortunately I'm playing on a trackpad and it was difficult for me to beat level 6 haha. If I had a mouse I would keep trying for sure. Some small things that could be fixed: sometimes the characters were getting hidden behind the menu on the right, when highlighting multiple guys and then moving the highlighting-square off of them, they remained selected. I think the tutorial could be broken up into even more pieces to showcase each action a little clearer, but given the fact that it was just a 10day jam, it was really good. Also would have liked a way to be able to re-pick my cards maybe, since I wasn't sure i had picked very good ones and maybe that hindered my progress. Anyway, really fun submission, great work!!
Really good game, very intresting concept! :D it felt very tactial you made good job!
Thanks for playing! Btw, what level did u get to??
I was at 7th lvl but i will beat this when i back home :D
cool, get the ultimate victory at the end!
Good game! Lvl 7 sure is a difficulty spike, gotta be creative to beat it!
Thanks for rating! Were you able to secure the Ultimate Victory??
I had great time playing your game, it's a very creative take on the bullet hell genre!. Got to 7th level.
Thanks for playing and rating! The seventh level is meant to be the second hardest level but depending on the buffs you pick it can end up being the hardest haha
Fun to see a completely different take on how to make a bullet hell.
I got stuck on the level with two forts, but enjoyed it until then (gave up after five or six attempts...)
Seems like a lot of mechanics to implement in such a short timespan, well done!
Thank you for playing ! To beat the two forts level, try using the hint in the defeat screen, punch 'em up!
This is an amazing game. There are small little quirks, but overall really fun and something completely different from the other games. The third level was a bit of a hassle, but I managed to beat it after using the hint :D. Thanks for the amazing game!
Thanks for rating! 3rd level?? Wasn't that the tutorial? Do you mean the 6th level?
It was the 30s challenge one, I made it to level 5 before moving on. But will come back to it :)
i see, there are two levels with 30s challenges, i think you mean the earlier one. Good luck!
Damn, those are some advanced mechanics! the tutorial is a bit heavy at first, but it's also an advanced game
thank you for rating the game! to what level did you get??
complex game, and I love complicity. I rather discover the mechanics and the tricks by myself rather than play the somewhat overwhelming tutorial. overall the idea is very neat keep going
thank you for rating! Btw how far did you get with the game??
I'm still wondering how to kill these guys under 30s fun challenge
check the hint in the defeat screen
Try punching 'em up!
yep that worked thanks for the tip
Tutorials a bit much but I dig the rts idea
Interesting Idea! The tutorial might be a bit too long but can't think of a better way to show the outstanding amount of mechanics you implemented. Great job!
The art is great! The tutorial is pretty good and interactive but I would introduce features a bit slower so people can understand the game as it is quite complex. Really liked it as a whole
While it doesn't fit the theme, This is actually a very Interesting strategy game to be honest and can turn into something big. Here is my feedback:
-I have actually faced a couple of issues with the path finding and the soldiers were stuck in walls and the edge of the screen, so I think you should look more into this.
-I Really liked the variety in the goal system you made, and the variations in every level is really cool.
-The Music choice was also really suitable for the game and I really liked it, and the same goes for the art style.
Overall the game has really complicated and cool systems implemented, and I really applaud this effort you had in this game, Looking forward for future updates!!
Note: The game loaded Pretty fast to me, so no worries regarding its loading time, maybe adding a loading screen would be a good decision.
Thank you for rating! As for the theme, i did add buffs which has consequences as the enemy got a buff as well. The problem with soldiers pathing has been my most persistent headache throughout the jam, I didn't have the time fix it completely unfortunately.
The game takes a few seconds to load, not much time but don't mistake it for a crash, please.
