Had the same problem of space making the browser scroll, but I played from your link and it was pretty cool! It's funny watching everyone just sort of flail their limbs around, and it sure gets hilariously messy when they all bunch up. I liked that there was variety in the weapons and cosmetics.
Can't play because pressing space makes my browser to scroll down and I lose the game, haha, nice little trick. Otherwise, looks promising.
Ah ok. Kinda weird. Worked for everybody else - sorry that u can't play it. If you want to try the game (outside of itch.io), you can play it here: https://n8python.github.io/apolloX/
Thanks for the link! I've finally played properly to your game, and it's amazingly addictive! The graphics are simple but the whole lot of hats made me laugh. Music is AWESOME. And the gameplay and mechanics feels pretty well. Oh boy, I'm hating those harpoons, so annoying, haha. I'm only missing the 200 waves achievement (and the last one, obviously) because at wave 105 my browser started to lag. Very good job anyway!
I'm so glad you liked it! Yeah, the harpoon enemies are really tough - until you get your own harpoon. Cool that you grinded for almost all the achievements. Don't know if you already did this, but you can prevent your computer from lagging (as much), by going to "Settings" and switching the graphics from "Good" to "Fast". Thanks for the kind review!
That was a very interesting idea :-)
Somehow I never felt fully in control of how I was damaging the enemies, but they died. Maybe a health bar on the enemies could help?
You are clearly going all in on the ragdoll physics, and it is an amusing game. I had trouble controlling the sword - I was poking them but had trouble getting enough force to hurt them. Nice job on all the animations and the tone of the game.
If you like platformers, please try our game.
When I saw a preview of this game on discord I thought "well, that's silly"... and it is! Every bit silly and fun to play, the enemies crowding on you make your life hard but not frustrating, finding myself shooting away for a while before realising I had no hands (but the shooting sound was there) was hilarious
Brilliant. I don' know why I am winning but I am winning and i love it. Great gameplay. Superb soundtrack. Got addicted to slashing everything out there.
hahaha I really enjoyed it, it feels like those io games, silly but you just like it. I also like that it has the shop and achievements and level selection and everything! feels like already a game ready to be published lol
Rly loved this. It was a bit tough but I retained coins I got on failed levels so it was a 'negative gameplay loop' that helped me buy upgrades so I could get strong enough to beat it.
Kind of wish pure skill had a bit more of a lasting viability since I felt forced to buy upgrades at around level 3 and I think this could have been done to slight improvements w the movement. But overall I had lots of fun once I started cashing in those coins.
