That's a really good game! 

1. enemies only start shooting when you perform the very first shot, and the big guy spawns projectiles every time you shoot: nicely done for the consequences theme!!

2. the game has a clear goal (killing all the other bad (bad?) guys) and a manageable learning curve

3. are those really the bad guys? well you're the first one who started shooting

4. visuals, bullets and music - all high quality stuff, also nice that you can turn off the music at a later point if you got bored of the same tune

5. also impressive that you did music/visuals all by yourself, although you used AI assistance for some of the assets

Overall very good job!

I win !

It's funny that small bullets only damage your shield but don't kill you (obviously as is the game would be impossible if they did), that's unusual. I like that you included asteroids as they add to the tension but also allow the game to feel less rigid and static despite all these not animated ships which stay in place and overall tend to do always do the same thing. I was not completely sure whether bonuses come with a drawback, I think they do, or if the ship simply shot faster sometimes which would be fine too anyway. The hp of the ships is on point and the difficulty of the game is fine as you need to be really careful during the shieldless phases and the asteroids create real tension as already mention. 

I think just allowing autofire is fine (I actually like autofire but mashing the button goes as fast as you mash so potentially faster than autofire).

That was a fun playthrough, thanks for sharing.

Thank you!

It's a bit difficult with everything flying at you the moment you start. I would have to agree with Brandon's comment. Other than that the visuals are clean, the music is nice and the sound effects are crisp. Good job!

Developer

Thanks Maestro.  Appreciate it.

Really like the ammo and shield system, and the effect of the ship turning towards your movement is really nice. Though it starts too fast, it would be nice for the enemies shots to gradually get faster so the player can adjust, right now it's a bit too much. But just a bit of fixing and this can be very fun, really nice job.

Hey Brandon, Thanks for the kind words and checking out the game.  You are not the first person to say that it might be to hard.  I thought that was part of the Hell aspect. lol.  I like the idea of ramping things up and will have to do that post Jam! Cheers.

Yeah, it's too hard. Too many bullets and obstacles too fast. 

But it looks amazing, and it plays great. With some tweaks it could be a banger

Developer

 I should have started the player with the shield.  It was meant to be one of the many consequences. To wait and acquire shield prior to attacking.   thanks for checking it out.

Hmm got a problem running this one. Using Windows 10, and after trying to open exe file i am getting error about UnityPlayer.dll

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the heads up.  The host had opened up the submission for me to fix and have uploaded all the files from the build.  My first upload and just put up the .exe......hehe.  Anyhow it should be working now and thanks again.

Okey now i could play. :D Very good style, and fast pace game. Also challenging - but for me it's a plus i really like it. Sometimes i got some problems with UI after dying ( buttons are not responding ), but it wasn't a big problem. Very solid game, good job buddy!

I couldn't get this one to run on my computer on fortunately :/


Developer

Hmm Weird I tested it on Mac and PC.  Which OS are you on?  Just want to be able to correct this error for the future.  Thanks for trying🙏

Developer

I have fixed the download.  Game should be working now.  Thanks again for bringing this to my attention. Cheers
