A complete assault on the senses - it’s wonderful. On a more serious note the inertia on the ship makes it really sluggish for picking up speed and changing directions, making dodging a bit of a chore.

Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback. Yeah I think id agree that for this genre it would of been better to make the player more responsive.

You know, I don't know which god created us, what brought us here. Maybe we are only the product of countless coincidences, maybe there is an entity above us, maybe all of this has no meaning. Nobody would know, except 2 individuals. Human has evolved since countless years, to create civilization, religion, art, culture, war, tik tok, internet, we went to space, but I didn't think we could go as far as we went today as a specie. This moment right here is historical, and will go down in history, as the term historical suggest. I'm tearing up right now as I write those lines. I just experienced what could be described (if it can even be described with our primitive languages) as a masterpiece. More than that, a cultural phenomenon. Art will be redefined, humanity as reached its full potential. Why are we here? To experience this. Who are the people behind this? I don't know, probably god himself. Thoses few minutes are what we can call a game, an interactive experience, where reality is blurred and your inner self just absorbed by this atmospheric masterpiece. The direction we go as a specie is uncertain, we may be all dead in 50 years for what I can tell, but playing this made me realize it doesn't matter. Death is just another boneR zone. I'm shaking just as I think of thos bears... those skulls, this piss... the meaning is so profound it reach a level where biblical texts seems trivial. I think we got here a new sacred piece of art guys. This is it. If you are breathing right now, you should play this. This is mind opening, this is life changing. I will now dedicate my life to spread the holy masterpiece that is this .exe file. Thank you so much for this... thank you

hardmode was made for this person because they keep speed running my games. It was meant to slow them down but only made them stronger.

Aahhahahahaha omg

This game is a masterpiece, it's like The Room of this jam's entries, truly misunderstood. Words aren't even enough to express my admiration for this game, just thank you for existing. :D/

Wow thanks, the greatest complement I can ever received is being compared to the Room. Does this make me the Tommy Wiseau of video games?

This game is insane...
It's great! lol
I don't think there's much to improve. In the bone zone it wasn't clear what to do, but other than that the difficulty is well balanced.

thanks for playing. Balancing is something we struggled with in the game-jam, some people found it too easy some people found it annoyingly hard. That's why there is a hard mode to be unfairly cruel to the player.

I think the bone zone is a bit of trail and error in an effort to complete, I'd would of liked to be more clear on what to do but time constraints and all left it the way it is now. It is Complete-able, which it originally wasn't (for some reason that level in particular kept crashing unity making it very impossible).

Anywho thanks for the feedback

I got stuck on the skull zone, no idea what to do, did I have to stop them hitting the floor? The dude who clips along the screen keeps killing me. XD This game is amazing.

GambsmooreSubmitted3 years ago

I got destroyed. I'll give it another try, this bad boy has reserved a permanent spot on my computer, but I'm trying to hunt for an oldschool geometry wars clone.
