Beautiful pixel art and animations! Controls felt a little strange (enter to fire?!) but they were easy enough to grasp, and then it was all about the waves and zapping and zapping. Have to admit I didn't last very long, it's pretty unforgiving! But I tried and tried again because it was so nice to look at :)
The only reason the art shined was due to having such a wonderful engine to present it all! Thank you for taking the time, Father Photonstorm!
Very beautiful art! Well done! gameplay with dash mechanics - cool
Nice pixel art
Do rate mine.
Seriously such a great game! Charge Guardian reminds me of risk of rain how there are waves of enemies being summoned to battle. the robot was fun to control and i found fighting easy. But after a few waves the difficulty was too much. would have loved some power ups to assist in the fight. Thanks for making this.
Really cool game. I really liked the graphics, art style and the different types of enemies. One thing I would for sure improve is the difficulty. Make sure the first few levels are pretty easy, so that players can explore and learn the mechanics. Keep in mind that you do a lot of play testing when developing the game and you get pretty good in it. If it feels too easy for you it is usually right for new players.
Congratulations to this nice game. Had fun playing it!
Nice art and animations! The mixed variety of enemies and attack patterns were interesting. I like how the enemy corpse melts and stays on the ground without covering other UI elements.
Solid entry! I think the way you worked in the theme is top-notch! While I liked the back-and-white aesthetic, I thought some of the enemy designs were pretty cool and I would have liked to see them in more detail. Since it was kind of challenging maybe it would be a good idea to break it up into escalating levels. Great work!
What in incredible game! I really enjoyed the music and the gameplay. I found it challenging and fun, great job =)
Love the art and the take on the theme, great idea. The gameplay is smooth and very engaging! Great Work!
OMG it is so easy for me to get GAME OVER....!!
I would like an assist mode to get the game easier for me.
Otherwise the enemy sprites are great and I love the monochromic style.
Music is good too.
I just hope I can dash jump over enemies and they are not tanky.
Really nice art style and animations with great music too! Also really enjoyed the gameplay! An all-round good entry!
Good game
The overall package is solid, though I wish there was some verticality added in the mix. The main character's jump proves to not be useful in practice and enemies can entrap you from both sides relatively easily on flat ground. Good visuals and music.
The double jump can help out a bit but more verticality is a great idea! Thanks for the feedback.
Love the art, tough game though. Managed to get full power, but did not survive to reach the ship. Great work!
Loved the the presentation of the game and the sound design.
Thank you! The subtle touches add a world of difference.
Very good looking game, the sprites are very creative, and the black and white adds a nice simplicity.
Cool submission!
Thank you!
Well executed looks good and is fun. I couldn't figure out how to launch my ship once I got full power though?
There's an interactable zone near the cockpit of the ship!
Fun game and great execution! Loved the art style :)
Good
Fun game! Get's an A+ from me!
Awesome! So glad you liked it! Thanks for playing it!
