Ranked from 47 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
Enemy saws split into two smaller and faster saws upon destruction. Eventually, they'll become too small to split. Destroying larger enemies will yield better rewards. But focusing your fire on smaller saws will suppress the multiplication of enemies from going out of control.

Yes

We created all art during the game jam

Did your team create the audio for this game during the 48 hour time slot?

A big flaw, now way to quit the game? Pressed esc and nothing. Lots of fun, sometimes the effects would be too much, such as when you break a saw it's so flashy you can't tell where new smaller saw blades are spawning so end up hit by them.

Hey Zen! Thanks for checking my game out! :D

You can quit the game by holding escape for 1.2 seconds.

And hahaha yes maybe we did over-do the special effects

Super polished and satisfying to play, excellent pacing, great graphics and sound.

I usually don't like these kind of games but this is great fun.

Deserves more attention! Great job.

Really nice and polished game, had a blast playing it!

The weapons feels extremely good and the general tempo is rock solid. 

Really well made, good job!

This is a very great-looking polished game. Everything is great about it! Although there is a one tiny-tiny issue, and that is that you can't hold down your mouse button to fire, which doesn't ruin the overall experience, but I think rather than rapidly clicking your mouse button, holding it and firing bullets would've been a bit better. Other than that, amazing job done!

Thanks Danial! We appreciate the feedback too. We'll definately be polishing up the game even after the Jam's over!

Really cool game, I will probably play some more after the ratings are over! The only problem I had is that I think the first level is too difficult. Great entry!

Developer

Hey thank you for playing! Glad you enjoyed DodgeSaw!

Hopefully these tips and tricks will help you on beating the level once you have the time to play again

  • Destroy all the little saws first! They move the fastest but have the lowest health. The smallest ones will not spawn anything on death, so prioritize them.
  • Got hit and your shield is down? Quickly collect the energy shards to replenish your shield and take another hit!
  • Looking for more firepower? If you're currently equipped with a pistol, destroy the largest saw. It'll always drop a weapon upgrade!

This game is very fun. Easy to pickup and the Juice is just spot on epic. Great job. Sound effects work well and everything runs smoothly. Keep up the good work.

Please checkout out our little game if you get a moment.

IMPORTANT

There is a bug that causes you to be unable to release your supernova on the 2nd and 3rd level on the first time round. 

We found that killing yourself / dying (once) on level 2 and level 3 will ensure the variables for your supernova will be reset properly and you can release it at 100% charge.

Don't worry, dying will only make you restart the level, but closing the game will start you back at level 1.

Our sincere apologies that this bug was only discovered after the jam has ended.

Highly addictive, awesome job with the visual feedback and sound design! I lasted till Level 5 and wish I could save the game to continue later. Very juicy and polished for a gamejam game! Love the slow-mo ability and the warped audio that comes with it. I think the dash might be a bit faulty, at times I would press dash but I wouldn't move anywhere. I think it would be helpful if there was a way to know how much health we have left, whether it's from a simple healthbar or from the level or player changing colour (turning red perhaps). Other than that, awesome job, and I can't wait to see what you two can come up with in the future ^___^ 

As a public voter, I had to play and rate 25 other games (took me 4 hours @_@ ) before I could freely rate yours, so that's a testament to how much I look forward to playing and giving y'all high ratings because you guys deserve it :D
