Fun game !
I like how it switch from : "You can kill people" to "Run for your life" ! :)
I found there is a lot of enemies sometimes and if you mess-up your attack you're a bit screwed.
Maybe adapt the number of enemies on the screen ? Or maybe make them kill each other ? :P
Good submission anyway !
Here is the game I made for this jam in case : https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/462077
This is actually pretty fun for pretty much just being avoidance! The camera was a little disorienting sometimes but I got it used to it. Good job!
I am incredibly impressed by the number of maps. I played for about half an hour, and I didn't notice any repeats. It was rather interesting really, because some of the maps were open, and others had tight corridors, and others had you weaving round the place, and alot had places that enemies ambushed you. I still don't understand what triggers the 'survive' phase or if that is random or if there is waves, but it ended up being a very fun experience!
The game is put together well with nice visuals, music and controls.
There were a couple of bugs like enemies would spawn in walls and get stuck.
It was a bit too unforgiving when you used a weapon, but missed and then couldn't acquire another weapon again for the remainder of the round. It would have been nice to have spawn locations around the map that you can run to and get more weapons.
Overall a pretty cool bullet hell style game.
I don't mind the camera too much as i basically run around ok.
The arena design though, makes it very hard to pick up the weapon after you killed some enemies.
I tried luring them to one side and run back, but often see them already run back. |
In the end i have to lure them well past obstacles to really get back the next weapon, not without very high risk though.
Nice graphics, good enough sound, good enough control. Weapon type seem very diverse. If i am given more room to strategize this will be a very good game to play
This game looks beautiful and it cant be emphazised enough, the concept of killing an enemy and take their weapon is one i like because i did one similar, but what i find it detrimental is that there is no weapon laying around and killing multiple enemies only reward one weapon, that makes it a bit unfair because some of the time projectiles go through the enemies.
The camera is bonkers, it tends to zoom or spin like crazy its really hard to dodge when your screen is going nuts, please fix this as soon as possible.
Summary, gorgeous game that is unfair with a broken camera, try teamming up with a good Game Designer or Programmer next time and your game will be perfect.
Thank you for your feedback! I have started making changes to make it better. Didn't have time for play testing, so some features came out really wrong
I like the design and the concept quite a bit. It's very endearing. Because there is no way to recover ammo, any miss becomes hugely detrimental. If I missed a shot the game became running around the outside for 30 seconds until the map shifts and I get a new weapon. Often even dropped weapons were inaccessible because so many enemies spawned and would end up stuck in the middle so any weapons there were impossible to get. Also the camera has a way of flipping around uncontrollably. It would be good if that could calm down a little. It is an impressive game for 48 hours and with a little work I think it could be a great little survival game.
I appreciate your feedback very much! The waiting and camera are indeed something I messed up, but I'll work on it for when game can be updated!
Cool game but an option to change the music volume was much needed
nice entry, but sometimes it feels like the camera is my enemy too
Loved the game! Really fun and original. The sound track it great, I spent a good while playing it. Some minor bugs though with the UI, the score sometimes is too big. Also the camera is a bit too high up for my taste. I think there could be a better way to get a new weapon if you poorly aim then to run around for a few seconds. Also the mobs grouping up makes it hard to get the weapon again (maybe it could drop a little closer to the player)
Overall one of the best ones I've seen so far!!
I am very glad you liked it! Thank you for the feedback!
I might upload a better version in the future with feedback changes ^^
