fun 'cute' pixel arcade wave game! really enjoyed it.
Small nit-pick I found the game to be a little bit difficult, and mistook my score for coins initially.
but those are really small things and maybe just me haha.
all in all, well done. great submission!
Thank you for creating such a fun game) Awesome pixel art by the way
Feels nice. Gets addictive. I'm bad at it. Gets annoying. Have to try again. Gets addictive... :D
I really enjoyed the style, the palette and also the gameplay, really funny game! Hope to get to the top of the leaderboard asap :P Well done!
Played for a bit and then it encountered an error and crashed. What I did get to play was pretty great. We were also very inspired by auto-shooters/survivors-likes and I love the genre. your presentation and art are really nice. Good job!
WOW . I love the color palette and the art. So simple yet so addicting. Due to some WebGL bug it kicked me after 5 minutes. Anyway, amazing work.
Awesome style, especially the graphics are lovely. Classic main mechanics, so it’s as intuitive as it gets, especially if you’ve played Vampire Survivors or the like. This goes on my “revisit” list, really nice job!
Fun Vampire Surivors style wave based shooter. Adorable Game Boy Colorish art.
I ran into some issues:
Game crashed around wave 21 with a score of almost 500,000.
Games like these always have a tipping point where you become so powerful that nothing can touch you - which means you need some way to end the game besides death. If it's a timer or wave count...I have no way of telling. If death is the only way out to register your score, then health upgrades actually become a detriment at a certain point because death became pretty much impossible once I was hitting waves 12 +. This is kind of funny in a strategic way.
I would suggest having the option to get an additional 3 power up cards something you can only use once per wave to keep the difficulty curve a bit more stable.
I wasn't a fan of the large amount of hitstop and knockback on hit. It was a bit jarring and marred the otherwise precise and enjoyable movement.
With that all out of the way, this was incredibly charming, fun, and ambitious for a game jam game. Excellent work!!
*also i'll def be checking out LootLocker, looks neat*
What I liked:
What could be improved:
Everything about this game is great. I just personally feel that picking the vampire survivor-like game for game jam is risky, as these games in my opinion feels best when they have a lot of equipment options and when player learns how they interact with each other.
Great game. Love the walk cycles on the player and enemies. Very effective animations with a low color palette. Also love some vampire survivors styled gameplay.
The addition of a leaderboard was a nice touch. Great jam entry.
Fun game!
Loved the art, music, and overall presentation. The description was also pretty funny. Good job.
Greate job!
The game is very good and addictive !
The only problem I have with it is that is crashes when you reach high scores :'(
This game is amazing. Just loved it!
Really addictive, really good progression system, nice visuals and nice music and sfx, what can I say? Just the right amount of juice, without being overwhelming, really great!
The only thing I'm sad about is that I was going to high score this game (116830, wave 14), and it crashed :'( (webgl version). I think I would have stayed too much time on this game if it didn't crash haha.
Edit: the game crashed again :'(. Do you think you could upload a native (windows? linux?) version? I'd happily play it!
A nice little game! Pretty addictive, but my first run ended up stuck on a wall :'(
I love the color palette and the upgrades system. I feel like enemy or player hitboxes are a little to big.
Finally, a game about eLdRiTcH bLaSt xD
Jokes aside, a high quality entry. It's simple, addictive (in a good way), and feels good to play - which was a goal of this jam. Love the theme, hits home for me as for Dungeon Master, ehe!
Would be nice to implement some new type of enemies, which would affect player's survival strategy. Leader board is a great plus, I will surely try to get first positions later -^-
Loved the music, too. Overall, thank you for this little game, it surely is inspiring!)
I love this game so much
