Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • Interesting shooter. However, things like basic graphics, not being sure about what you should shoot and what you should catch and some scary sound effects worsen the experience.
  • Great concept, though I found it almost impossible to be in the right place at the right time
  • Neat and original idea. Reminds me of playing maths invaders when I was younger. The only issue is it is too difficult to get to the numbers or modifiers that I need. Ended up waiting for something just to miss it and wait again.

Jam ROM submission

Ok - understood! I attached the GBA ROM file as "MYGAMENAME_jam.gba".

Hello, I got this error message when I played. I'm using MGBA 0.9.3, if that helps.

"field 'valueOperator' is not accessible for type 'Modifier' using 'kind = 0'

I’ll try to debug it further, but this has been an issue for a while for some people and I’m still unsure what’s happening (I could barely replicate it, it may have been because of the emulators?).

I couldn't get it to happen on hardware, so I assume it is an emulator issue.
