Really unique survival defense game with creepy visuals which makes the game looks fun. Nice game.

Developer

Glad you had fun with it :). I kinda wanna do a bit more with the visual style, I might explore it more later.

Awesome submission. Other than the game not having any music I have no points of critique. AWESOME/5 

Developer

Thanks! Yeah if I was good at music, I would've made some. It would've brought the quality of the game down :P

Wow, this game is actually just insanely cool!!!

The visuals are stunning and look so polished! Are there a lot of shaders going on here?? Or is it a lot of hand-animated sprite work? I'm very curious, but either way it's so well done.

The gameplay loop is super fun, and I can definitely see more additions to the gameplay, more content, some sort of progression system, and this game could be very very addicting to play.


I don't have much else to say. This is just an amazing submission. Great work.

-D

Developer

Heh, thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, there's a lot of shader and effect stuff going on here, with one or two actual hand animations. I was going to do a lot more, but decided that this was probably going to be enough with the time that I had, Either way, I'm happy with how it turned out :)

Muy lindo y muy  original, con buenos sonidos, aunque un poco simple, pero en general muy bien hecho, deberías ampliar el contenido y lanzar una versión más completa del juego.

Mmm yea. Good entry. I think my only feedback would be the guys who take multiple hits are hard to tell appart from the other guys. I liked the other enemy variants and enjoyed playin!

What a cool game! I think i died on the last level though a little sad. The art was great one of the best aesthetics in the whole jam for me! The audio was a little disgusting but appropriate for such a game. Honestly well done this was super cool!

Developer(+1)

Hehe, thanks for playing~ yeah I was feeling a lil' devious with the audio :p

Wowowow! So many positives across so many categories so well-deserved kudos. Critique wise, I was unaware of being able to fire the smaller chunks which resulted in the overwhelmingly screenshake-ridden whole head spamming. That being said, it is a pretty good sign when my only complaint is at the end of a lengthy chain of player decisions on my part. Outstanding work! 

Developer

Oh, that's interesting, yeah I was debating whether I needed to include a tutorial for that since I thought it was the next logical thing to try once you saw the little pieces also had the circles around them. I'll note that for the future though, thanks for playing :)

Wow that was juicy, managed to beat it! Those zigzaggy guys almost ended my run multiple times :) fun stuff! Amazing art and atmosphere too

Developer(+1)

The zigzaggy guys are some of the most stressful enemies to fight haha, they've ended a few of my runs too. Thanks for playing :p

Submitted(+1)

Brutal implementation of the theme! Good mechanics for controlling and collecting projectiles, pleasant sounds. The game looks like it's ready for release.

Developer

Thanks, I'm happy you enjoyed it :)

WOW! "Heart Locked" is a really polished product, vfx are amazing and the core theme (of Decay) is just oozing left and right. Well-crafted game, ScolonDev!

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

You got me on the " 1 Insane Female Protagonist..." lol
Fun to play, nice art, sfx are good, looks like you disabled the music so I can't give feedback on that...
Very nice game

Developer

Hahahahaha, thanks :)

Amazing game this is a 5/5 no doubt. I like that hitting enemies with your whole body does more damage than with the pieces making collecting them against enemies with more health quite useful so you 1 tap them.

Developer (1 edit)

Yee, I like the additional strategy that small little detail gives ya Your split body is a lot more well-suited for dealing with the few horde-like waves. Thanks for playing :)

Wow! the fact you made this in 48 hours is astonishing! The artstyle feels coherent, the sound effects are perfectly fine, the idea is creative, and I like how you have to get inventive with the use of your flesh ball depending on which enemies you have to kill. The small teleporting ones? Charge up the big ball and kill them in one hit. The ones with little health? Shoot them to death with the small pieces. I got to one heart, but managed to pull through and win the game at wave 14 :D. Very fun game, cool stuff, My favorite of the jam so far. 

5/5

Thanks! Yeah I had a lot of fun making this game :) Glad you enjoyed it

Wow, prety juice game you have here. I really liked the ZigZaging enemies. Dificulty seems to platou after the 7 wawe or something, so I quit after i reached wawe 11. Nice pixel art :3

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I had a lot of fun working on the pixel art for this game :3

That was such a crazy game. A little messy on-screen at times with a challenging difficulty curve. Love the aesthetics. Great work!

Developer

Hehe, yeah I was debating toning down the messiness, but decided that I kinda liked it in the end...

Good game. Very good fit for the theme.
