Super fun arcade scroller! some things i think that could be improved on or maybe changed. I personally felt that having your flap button right next to your fire button was just...idk it was a bit of a mindbender for me for some reason. I couldn't time my flapping and my gun firing enough to control going through corridors successfully.
I think the flap button should probably be on the Up arrow and then you should also add a Dive mechanic. Some instances it was just impossible to dodge both enemies and walls or whatever was coming at you because you could not drop fast enough.
you could also make the dive a skill thing too. you could have so they dive super fast or however you best feel fits to get through those tight squeezes.
Nice job!
Really like the side scrolling shooter style with plenty to dodge but also the added difficulty of staying a float! The giant laser beam is a great touch too! Well done :)
Very fun game! Hard, but easy to get into after dying. It would be nice to play the themed levels for each god.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it ! I think I'll make a version after the jam that has the themed levels, but I don't want to "spoil the jam" by adding extra content aside. Juration should be as fair as possible, but thank you so much ! I really appreciate it !
good stuff, though I suck at the game, I tried the boss rush and leonides glitched and just stood still not attacking, and I still died from flapping too much into the ceiling
Thanks ! Yeah I still couldn't figure out why the bosses sometimes glitch up... I think it has something to do with the transition in attack patterns, it seems to happen when they're preparing to rush you (there is an audio queue for that). But thanks for playing !
Very good game! It took me a while but i beated Boss Rush, i like the art style and are the palettes are great. Leonidas power is OP.
Heeeey you made it ! Great job ! Sorry the timer doesn't properly reset, that one's on me ^-^ But that again isn't a game breaking bug, I hope you don't mind. You still get MAD bragging rights for finishing ! :D
super fun! took me awhile to learn but it was very rewarding.
Thank you for playing :) Glad you enjoyed it !
Really great entry, I love the juice and especially that slowed time on the charged attack!
Thank you ! Means a lot to me ! :D
Very challenging! But also very rewarding, those hit effects for the player's shots are very satisfying. Nice game!
Thank you so much :)
I forgot how bad I was at Flappy Bird until I had to shoot things at the same time. I still had some fun with it and can easily imagine others would like it too.
Thank you for playing :) Yeah it was designed to be as challenging as possible while being simple enough to work with limited controls. Thanks again !
Had fun playing this game. Nice artstyle and music, and really good gameplay that puts a twist on the flappy bird formula. Good job!
Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it ! :)
Honestly this game is just incredible. It's really difficult, but it fits the game's mechanics really well. For people who love optimizing their play, this game will feel right at home. The gorgeous visuals and amazing the sound track go along great as well drawing in more casual individuals who enjoy slow improvement after frustration like in games such as flappy bird. My biggest gripe is probably sound effects being a little bit loud (especially during boss fights) and the weapons the bosses drop although powerful, feel much more difficult to handle which makes learning them also difficult since you unlock a different weapon depending on bosss. Overall a really good game that is tons of fun to play over and over again.
Thanks for playing ! I agree about the boss weapons. There's actually a completely different system in the backend, the boss weapons should be a LOT more rare... This is what happens when you change code an hour before the deadline :D . You're supposed to get health frequently, then a multishot powerup that is rare and the boss drops that are even more rare... They were intended as an "extra", a secret tidbit ... but yeah, bug decided otherwise and I don't want to "cheat" by fixing it :)
BUT thank you so much for playing it !!!!
This is really fun! A bit on the harder side, though, it's easy to lose all three hearts at once when navigating a tight gap. Maybe smaller enemies could drop health pickups? Love the boss weapon system, though, that's really cool.
Hi Fredison,
Yes, the smaller monsters should drop them... But the main intention was for the bosses to drop health items more frequently so you at least get a fighting chance :) Either way, thank you so much for playing !
A very simple yet addictive game. Mixing Flappy Bird with a shoot 'em up was a great idea and the charged shot is oh so satisfying to use. The game is stupidly hard (I wasn't able to beat it) and highscore based, just like a good arcade should do. Game is a little slow paced for my liking and the collision boxes could use a little bit of tweaking, but overall this is a really fun game.
And seriously, that charged shot makes you feel like a god, more so if you collect weapons from bosses a la Megaman.
Oh, also, this really feels Gameboy-ish
Thank you so much, really appreciate it :) Very glad you liked it. I am a big fan of megaman and seeing people notice a bit of it coming back in my game warms my heart ! :D
