Indeed very similar, most likely from reusing the same codebase.
But it adheres to the main theme very well.
I remember playing global game jams with the theme "wave" and we decided to use "sound wave". I literally copied one of my teammate's sound processing code (in js) and slapped into my phaser.io codebase (also js. The platformer logic came from watching a tutorial on the fly)
It saved massive time and we were able to finish making the game: A platformer with platforms controlled by singing to the mic. (note: Wrestling with the HTML5 audio API isn't fun)
My artist drawn completely new set of assets just for this theme, and my other friend (who gave me the audio code) did not actually participate in the jam. The platforming code and the game logic (and difficulty tuning and design decisions put into the thing) were all new, inspired by the theme and made just for the theme.
You are still free to say that he cheated, but I see it as reusing some hard work and making substantial work (look at the bullet hell choreography! Compare that to the crappy Nier Automata bullet hell) to make it a completely new game.
Most importantly, this does look like 48 hours of work, as the mechanic is very simple, considering he had bullet hell experience
Thanks for the defense. It's alright if a couple of people think I'm cheating. I agree that they may be a little too similar, but the only thing I really copied from "I Was Hacked" is the teleportation.
(I redid the code tho for some reason lol)
"I Was Hacked" was clunky with all cells activating on-mouse-down
This game accepts click-swipe, which makes the gameplay much more fluid
lol I haven't even played I was hacked in a while
guess I'll have to go revisit it soon to compare
Played your previews and did not have the chance to rate at the time!
Now rated yours and super hyped to dive into the essentially bullet hell with teleportation!
Thank you very much! :D
A pickle a day keeps the doctor at bay! I managed 145. Once the screen started spinning, I sorta lost it.
O dang, that's a great score!Good joke too lol
if you look at this guy's games you can see one called "l was hacked" which he copied a good bit of design from and reused code from. Which means means he cheated. This was mentioned by someone else in the comments as well.
wow so at first I thought the game was grid based movement and then I accidentally clicked on something that wasn't adjacent and I was like ohhhh now I get it. Then the game got harder and harder. Different enemy patterns then the spaces you could click on began to get limited. It started getting really intense.
I made it to a score of 94 and felt pretty awesome. I dunno if that's a decent score for this game but it felt really fun to achieve.
Hey man, thanks! :D
94 is really good! I'm quite impressed lol
Your game is really smooth, I like it!
Thank you! :D
I think, I found a pickle somewhere in there.

Glad to see that people find it weird, but not TOO weird lol
Super awesome sound effects.
