Great entry! Loved the audio and the presentation!
Really love this. It's fun to play and has an amazing concept. It feels extremely polished with the great sound and particle effects. Great game. However the player felt a bit slow
Thanks! Did you try using Spacebar to dash? We noticed many people didn't know you can dash, we'll be making some updates to make sure people know about this ability in future!
Very cool game. My only complaint is that I felt out of control, but that's the theme so that's good I suppose.
Love the design work here, everything works in service of the theme and leaves plenty of space for interesting moment to moment decisions.
Wonderful job, congratulations on finishing it!
Losing control is both awesome and terrifying!
The way you go on a killing spree when you take enough damage reminds me of the NES dr jekyll and mr hyde game how you set yourself back. Good use of pros/cons trade off. But holy crap, that out of control mode was uhhh out of control.
Ohh my god, this is amazing and needs more attention, I am totally in love with your game
Very addicting game! The effects are awesome and I love the concept of the red balls coming together! Well done!
Love it. I'm so frustrated in a good way! any tips for not losing control?
Use Dash a lot. Keep collecting yellow eggs. When you're out of control, use walls to help minimise collateral damage
Thanks! Also avoid spamming Shoot. Shooting drains your control too. Try to be accurate with shots.
Wasn't able to play myself, but I saw your game played by the man himself on his stream today! Very well made game, love the effects and gameplay. Reminds me of a game I'd play in computer class when the teacher wasn't looking haha. Good luck, I honestly think Mark may pick this to showcase in the final video.
Cheers! I too had games open in computer class waiting for the teacher to look away :)
I love the graphics of this, It’s so addicting to look at and play! Amazing entry.
Dang, this is really nice.
1) Main menu is very original, though quite over-saturated. I like the font and how you have delivered all the needed info to the player
2) (Suggestion) Should add ESCAPE as a pause key imho
3) You should introduce the player the available actions. As for me, I've found out that I can intently turn on berserk mode and explode just by hitting all the keys just to see if there's something. As for dash, I guessed that it was for SPACE, though it is worthy enough to tell the player about it.
3) The FX are awesome
4) The "out-of-control" mode is very interesting, more like "berserk" mode. I like the idea that you don't lose but something else happens, especially actually making you outrageous. It is rarely presented in games, and it worth an approval
It worth 5 stars for everything.
Thank you so much! Yes about the controls, I definitely agree with you, we should have put them in the game somewhere, everyone who's played the game never knew there was a dash button. We're planning on making some updates after the jam is finished, so we'll definitely improve this!
Hey what do you think of reaching you out and talking a bit? Can you give me your e-mail?
if you're on discord, add me arvz#9996, or dm me on twitter @arvz88
Glad you enjoyed the game Chappi and cheers for the feedback! I've just added some of your suggestions to our Trello board :)
This game is addicting. The concept is original. My favorite mechanic in the jam so far. My only complain is the start menu is blinding my eyes haha.
Thanks a lot! We'll look into toning down the brightness of the start menu :)
I like things that bounce around
Amazing game and effects :)
This game makes me go YES!
Love the theming of this. The gameplay is a good loop that makes you want to play more. It looks good, plays well. Poor green boi.
this game is really amazing! loved the explosion effects. This game should be launch on mobile platform.
Fun and beautiful! The feeling is great. Great job!
