Super Polished game, great job, i like that avoiding and the upgrades ( negatives ) my personal opinion is, that these Upgrade Button doesnt match with the whole game( color and design ) but i like the HIGHSCORE Table =)

Very smart take on the theme, love that you still pick the upgrades for your weapon which really adds to that whole give and take of making it more effective at taking out the enemies, but, also much more dangerous for yourself. The fact that your hearts refill each time you level up seems like a small thing, but, really adds a surprising layer to the game, with each level of the weapon being almost it's own survival challenge. Had a lot of fun and almost made it onto the leaderboard haha
While I was playing this fun game, I thought about advising to add a leaderboard... But you included that as well! A well build game!
We've read your mind beforehand so we knew 😈
But on a serious note, we learned about the leaderboard idea from our previous work, and since then it has always linger in the back of our mind. We then decided to implement it in this game as it made perfect sense to do so!
Thank you for playing our game and leaving your feedback here <3
Tried but couldn't make it to the leaderboard lol. Really nice game. The art, music, sfx and design are all very polished. great job! (games with a leaderboard are always a 10/10 for me lol)
very nice experience!
i love how dynamic and smooth it is :) the art also looks very nice!
the only two things i was wondering about are what the meaning of the game name is and why you use the statue's head as the main hero :) just curious, maybe there is some additional meaning? a little story would be nice even for a shooter, i believe :D
Thanks for commenting and playing our game :D I am glad you love our game and enjoyed it! In terms of story, you can check the description now, we have recently change and update it to better reflect our game. In terms of the naming, EB stands for Electric Boogaloo which was something we were joking about that was funny at that point, it's just a meme of having a sequel to something. Which perfectly fits cause the GMTK theme video is roles reversed, and essentially we are making a sequel to something (tbh we never thought much about it, it was just a joke).
As for statue head, the statue is actually the Statue of David by Michelangelo. A lot of these bust and statues head are very prominent in Vaporwave theme. If you search for vaporwave style, I am sure you can see a lot of references to statue head. We thought it fits to the theme Vaporwave as this is the style we are going for. David is just the one we picked that looked is the best.
Hope this answers your questions and thanks for taking interest in our game! We will be updating the game shortly after voting has ended so be sure to have a look :D
Nice game! A bit hard for me its really cool! Check out our game too
Love it! Great twist on an arena shooter!
I was losing hearts straight after getting a power-up whilst I moved my hand from the mouse back to the keyboard. It would be nice if you could select power-ups with the keyboard, or if there was a countdown before the game restarted.
Overall a really fun and unique game, well done!
We appreciate you for giving us your time to play our games and even leaving a comment below!
Regarding this issue, we're currently working on this fix. Initially we planned to implement the keyboard to select power-ups feature but then there were some bugs happening that we couldn't figure out how to solve it in time. But... in our next update you can finally select the power-ups with the keyboard! (hooray!) Please stay tuned to our next update!
Again appreciate your feedbacks on our game, it's always valuable to us :)
Thanks for commenting and playing our game! This is our first GMTK game jam, didn't really expect much, just want to make games with our friend group and have fun mainly! It warms our hearts to know that you feel our game is good. Appreciate your comments and support :D We will be updating our game very soon!
The game is cool and very enjoyable and the art was nice. The music and animation was really nice. This was a great little game.
Interesting concept with a pretty addictive gameplay. Picking your poison with the upgrades definitely forces you to adapt quickly and plan ahead.
Good job!
Really liked the concept of instead of you being upgraded but the enemy was. Very nicely executed. Smooth movement and an interesting art direction.
Appreciate you trying out our game and taking your time to leave a comment here!
Having smooth movement as we feel is very important in these type of games, so we really prioritized on it.
This artstyle is called "vaporwave" which is relatively unseen in games, but it's quite popular online. We were determined to make this style work and this is the result!
Very interesting take, as also a pretty unique art style and aesthetic. Loved the idea, its a design that basically automatically balances power-ups and difficulty to the player, which is amazing. Good job, really enjoyed this game!
This is some new level gameplay. Super happy I had the chance to try this out! From art direction to gameplay loop, it's addicting.
Great vaporwave aesthetic. Really enjoyable concept and the execution was immaculate. Great job!
Love the 80's vibe, the graphics are rad! Great game! The glitchy graphics and the thumbnail are cool! Though my browser freezes up (MS Edge on a RTX 3060 laptop) when starting the game but afterwards runs smoothly.
