For this jam I made an arcade-style shooter; the game itself is simple to play but takes some practice to get a good score. This is in contrast with games that have a story mode or an ending etc. that you play through. Iām looking for similar challenging games where we can share high scores! See my challenge below.
The reason Iām doing this is because I tested my own game to try to get a good balance between easy enough to be fun/rewarding while at the same time hard enough to not be boring. I tweaked a lot of different mechanics which affect difficulty, and I thought not just myself, but also others with similar style games, could benefit from some ācrowdsourcedā testing to see how hard the levels are to beat.
Participate and challenge me back!
Have you made a game thatās similarly arcade-style, focused on getting high scores in short rounds that last only a few seconds or a few minutes? Challenge me back with a link to your game and your high score and Iāll see if I can beat it!
Letās do a challenge thread, Iāll start! šŖšš®

Challenges
For challenges, include a short description of your game with a screenshot or cover image (market it a bit) and optionally anything affecting difficulty. You should also make it clear what you expect as score; does your game have a āscoreā count, infinitely harder levels, waves of enemies, what do you want as a sign of progress in the challenge?
Responses
For responses to a challenge, respond in a comment to the challenge, including your score and some proof, e.g. a screenshot or a play-through video. Optionally include any comments on the difficulty and its factors.
