Honestly, the perfect jam game. Every element, from the visuals, to the sound, to the gameplay, is straight to the point and streamlined for ease of use. Well done!
thanks and im glad you had a good time!
good game agario like
post effects and music are good all feel good cool
not quite clear how damage and xp works
I did them is a rush so even I dont get how they fully work xD. But basically if youre a smaller shape you do more damage and get more energy and its the opposite if youre bigger
Fun game! Took me a bit to realize how to evolve but once I understood it it was awesome. Would have loved even more shapes but awesome work for a game jam!
cool game! there are enemies that are the same shape and color of me, kinda confusing but good job!
thanks for playing the game! Maybe adding an ourline on the player would fix that issue
Nice take on the tastyplanet/agar genre, I thought the music was particularly good!
Would be very grateful if you tried our game!
Thanks! Ill defiantly check it out
Simple but fun! Like others, watching the video helped me understand evolving. I also wish the action button was on the mouse. If there was a score system, I would have played it longer. My favorite attack was actually the triangle.
Thanks! I'll defiantly add those to my next update
The game is great! I did not find the evolve mechanic intuitive, but after watching the video, it was really fun to mess around with evolving. The style of the game is incredible, and the unique abilities are very entertaining.
Thanks for playing!
It was enjoyable although I suck a lot <3
Sound effects are really niceee
thanks! I do realise now that the game is a bit hard and the instructions not that clear
Loved it.
At first, my reaction was "Is this just another Agar.io spinoffs?"
But after played it quite a bit, it's actually fun <3 even though I don't know where's the "scale" system implemented (cmiiw)
the scale is when supposed to happen when you turn into more angled shapes you also grow by a lot. Hope that clarified and thanks!
ah I see sorry for not knowing that lol
A simple but fun game! Getting to play as each different shape was an interesting experience. I think the concept could be taken much further too but for the time frame of the game jam it's well made!
thank you very much! I plan to do another update to finish the game fully
I really enjoyed the game and while I couldn't figure out how to kill pentagons (skill issue on my part), i really enjoyed the evolution of the game and how the gameplay loop worked!
pro tip the square skill collision is big enough to do damage even if the sprite doesnt quite hit the pentagon. Also they are vulnerable after shooting their bullets for a solid 3 seconds
ooh!!
This game is really good, it's a solid example of using simple assets but using other methods to create stunning VFX which I think you nailed here. I enjoyed being the blue triangle, the mechanic of dashing around through enemies was honestly really fun, and I think you can do a lot with the mechanic alone in another game. Amazing job!
Ngl the triangle had the ability i liked the most. I think a game mode where you play the final stage as the triangle would be fun too
I really like the look of this and the soundtrack fits very well! But it needs a tutorial or at least a decent explanation on the page, because I don't know what I'm supposed to do after having filled up on energy from the dots. Any contact with the enemy just turned them red an then they killed me... thing is, I really like the presentation so if I get an explanation I want to try again! :-)
You need to beat and eat the drop of an stronger enemy to evolve. I was really in a rush to finish the game and overlook such details. Thanks for bringing it up!
Also added a link of a video showcasing that!
Would really prefer Mouse 1 as the ability key, using E while trying to move with WASD isn't easy.
The evolution animation was cool, would love some score or timer as something to do once you reach the max shape
I was planning to have score system that makes that increases your point per enemy killed and have constant increase once in your final form. I will defiantly add that if I make an update. Also the control suggestion is appreciated
Lack of tutorial almost ruined it for me. took me a few minutes to realize what "skill" was and why it was always going left.
Thanks for playing it through. I knew the mechanics needed a tutorial but didnt have the time to add that and some other stuff to polish it more
Uhhhh, i did enjoy this one quite a lot :)
I would love to see more enemies and further upgrades. :)
Just one thing. There is a bug on the html version where the shader is only applied to the top left corner
Thanks for letting me know. I discovered it happens when the page gets resized. I defiantly should've had locked the resize option
Great soundtrack and a fun experience :D
Stroger enemies have been eaten
Super fun game to play! Really fits my vibe. It feels very sleek with the look and sound and I really like the dashing mechanic. I still don't quite understand when I can eat other enemies, but it was exciting when it happened and I transformed to a new ability! I will come back to play this again!
