This game makes me go YES! Great art!
Thank you! I also really enjoyed your game! I'm glad you liked it!!
pretty cool game
high score: 3500
really action packed, nice level design, and fluid mechanics. overall a well-polished game
Thank you! it was a very tight 48 hours, but we tried to maximize the game feel! I'm glad you liked it.
Very nice music and aesthetics! I agree with all the points Agecaf made. I think having the enemies simply follow the player makes it pretty easy, I only got hit like once. Maybe have some different enemy movement patterns, or ways the enemies can attack you back? And maybe you could have the Hacker villain noticeably power up certain enemies? Great job with what you've got though!
Yes, but as it was a prototype for Jam, we didn't have time to implement artificial intelligence and more complex game mechanics. But we are aware of that, and we will continue development following the feedback from players! Thank you very much for the comment / evaluation! Obrigado!
That's some great teamwork! The graphics, audio and gameplay complemented each other really nicely.
The background was distracting, I thought it was the green thing, but looking at it again it's more of the tiles lighting up; it makes a bit too much contrast. The color scheme is really nice, and the sprites are lovely! The spider (?) enemies were easy to distinguish from the skeletons, but their color is a bit too similar to the background. The 0s and 1s particle effects are a really nice touch! I didn't like too much how the health bars looked like?
The music is great! I love the instrumentation, but it does get a bit repetitive when one keeps playing.
While there doesn't seem to be anything too extravagant design-wise in terms of combat, it is a really nice touch how the skeletons and spiders are affected differently by the bullets. The controls feel just right! The procedural generation of levels is also quite good (is this the "hacker changing the properties of the game"? or was it something else I didn't notice?).
In any case, it looks like you make a great team! It's quite an enjoyable game you've made.
I am very happy for your considerations. Thank you!
I agree with you, there was an exaggeration in the visual details, and it ended up being very "polluted", in a way, for the player. In addition, we didn't have time to implement the various mechanics that we thought of for Hacker.
Anyway, we will continue the development with the same love that we had to make it for Jam. One more time, thank you!
not my type of the game but i's made well you did a great job)
Thank you!
This is very, very impressive game actually. I liked so many aspects of its mechanics, such as being repelled by enemies etc. Also, I'm not sure if it was made deliberately, but it's for the first time seeing someone switching off the music when I hide the game. What a detail! A little suggestion would be to change the visuals a little bit. I think there is way too many unnecessary distractions, maybe you can simplify it?
Overall, the game was so intense, especially because of the music, you created a good atmosphere with the music and art. Continue working on it, it really is good!
Very cool game, I felt like the visuals could be simplified a bit so it's easier to see what's going on and understand the theme better, the player sprite was especially confusing since I couldn't understand what it was. However, the hacker taunting you the entire time was good motivation to keep playing and made me laugh a few times and the combat did feel fun. I saw from your discord that you are going to keep developing it after the jam, I think the game has great potential so good luck :)
Thank you! The game got a bigger scope than expected, and we couldn't implement everything we wanted in time. Even so, we are already continuing the development, thank you! If possible, stay tuned!
🤘🏾!!!
Great job! This felt very polished and its obvious you worked very hard on this. I understand how people might find the background confusing or distracting, but I had no problem with it. It felt very satisfying to play and I mean it as a compliment when I say I wish there was more (upgrades, enemies, etc.) The original art and music is excellent, but nothing new as far as game design. I was hoping to see the theme of the Jam in the mechanics of the game. I'm sure with more time, the originalty would have shone through.
Hi, thanks so much for the words! It was a super run to weeks, and unfortunately we could not implement everything we wanted. But we will continue the development and make the game much more complete! Thank you!
A little difficult to read, but great concept, soundtrack and really fun!
Thank you! The musician and the artists really dedicated themselves a lot!
Very nice game which engine did you use?
Thank you! We used Game Maker Studio 2!
That was challenging, and it looks great! Very nicely done.
haha Thank you!
I liked this one. The background was a little much, and I couldn't tell what exactly the hacker was changing, but the presentation was great, and the gameplay was fast-paced and entertaining. Well done!
True, it ended up not being able to implement everything we had in mind. But that's ok, we will continue with the project! Thanks! :D
The controls felt very nice, and hitting enemies was very satisfying! I would remove the flashy background though, it felt very distracting and overwhelming
You're right, the background ends up taking a lot of attention! Thanks for the feedback!
:)
Very nice, i found teh background a bit confusing but great art overall !
I agree with you, we should have left less epileptic! hahaha Thanks!
The pixel art was very nice. The gameplay was also smooth. Good work on the game :D
Thanks for the feedback!
Gostei do jogo. Se colocassem mais armas seria muito melhor (Joguei até o stage 9).
A função de pegar a hora do computador com as frases do hacker ficou genial. Parabéns aos desenvolvedores.
Tem razão. É apenas um protótipo, mas com muitas janelas a serem exploradas, como armas e alterações nas fases, por exemplo. Obrigado pelo feedback! =)
Por nada. Fico feliz em ter ajudado xD
Nossa muito pica o jogo, parabéns!
O chat dos hacker é bem legal
Pow muito obrigado! Colocamos um chat estilo jogo online, para dar mais imersão! Valeu!
It seems like the hacker it's too powerfull. It's forcing my pc to give you 5/5!
Now seriously, awesome music! And tight controls!
Hahahah thank you very much!
Nice! I liked the hacker idea and how you can read what he says. Makes up for some nice possibilities in game desing. Visuals are very nice. Good job!
Thank you my friend!
Jogão
Hahah obrigado!
