Nice take on theme
Thanks!
My feedback for Bloodbot:
What your game does well:
Your game has all the hallmarks of any good top-down space shooter. The art and graphics complement one another.
This is a simple interpretation of the theme 'inside out' but works.
Enemies and power-ups are balanced. There's no enemy too difficult and power-ups last a good amount of time for players to make use of them.
What your game doesn't do well:
The game lacks enough feedback when the bloodbot takes a hit. The flashing is there, yes, but the player will only know they got hit if they're looking at their ship. Most of the time the player's eyes are on the enemies.
The theme is baked into the game's aesthetic, but that is the only part. The entire game, as an abstract system, has been done so many times. I would have liked to see you incorporate the theme with the player's actions or the behaviors of enemies/objects/etc.
Areas of Opportunity:
If you're approaching the theme as the game's setting, and the bloodbot is inside the human body, perhaps a way to integrate the gameplay with the theme is to consider the health of the human you are shooting lasers & destroying viruses inside of. That might add an extra layer and affect the player's choices. There are, of course, other ways you can approach this.
I hope this feedback helps!
Thank you for the feedback!
I know that it's hard to know when you get hit, but theres wasn't enough time to fix that. I thought of the screen flashing red, or the ship sprite getting partially destroyed. I will work on an update to the game after the voting period ends.
Adding human health is a good idea, maybe if the bacterias don't get killed it depletes the health. It's true that the theme just fits the visuals, not the mechanics, next time I will try to merge those things togheter.
No problem. DM me on Discord @salsero if you ever wanna talk games.
Thanks for giving feedback!
No problem!
this was really fun! i played it for like 45 minutes and enjoyed it a lot even if i sucked at the bossfight lol
Great to hear!
The gameplay is a lot of fun, really cool entry. I like the concept and the pixel art.
I’m happy you enjoyed it :)
i had a ton of fun, i spent hours upon hours spamming galaga as a kid and playing something that scratched that same itch made me happy. the leaderboard was a very cool touch too. the execution on the theme maybe didn't land for me, but personally i had too much fun to care about it. insanely addicting, great job :s
I’m happy that you enjoyed it :)
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Very cool game, also pretty juicy. Presentation graphics and audio are very well done, gameplay is fun and interesting since you don't have to shoot everything on screen, there are consequences (got a negative score multiple times :D). Super fun and strong competitor for the jam IMO. Good job!
Thank you very much!
Nice Game! I had a lot of fun with it!
Good Job to both of you!
Thanks for enjoying our game!
Thanks!
I really enjoyed this game! Nice job!
Thank you very much!
An oldie but a goodie! Nice execution. Great submission!
Thanks!
Pretty solid arcade shooter experience.
Thanks!
Pixel,
I really liked this game. I had so much fun just shooting away and listening to the cool sounds. Great job. I personally missed a bit of the theme, but then again I did a weird take on it too haha. Nice one!
Thanks! This theme interpretation was actually very popular this jam 😅
I like how theres infinite ammo makes it super satisfying taking out the enemies. Also the added collect me cells to ensure you cant just spam bullets. Great game!
Thanks!
3rd Place on Leaderboard.... seems like i am going Esports with this Game.
Yeah we’re totally going to host a bloodbot competition
The next esport match will hapen in the year 2467, stay tuned!
That was really fun, loved the art and music. I think it would be nice if there was a little more feedback every time you take out enemies, but regardless i had a really good time playing!
Thanks!
Very cool game! Loved the art, sadly I'm not the best player for this, but it is really good. Good job!
Thanks regardless!
Cool game! it’s giving me Chicken Invaders vibes xd
Thanks!
I’ll be sure to check out most of the games that rate ours :) (and leave a comment of course)
A well made and polished game, well done on your submission
Thanks!
