I found out that You can become invincible if you make your enemies move to the center of the map and then just sprint with A and D again and again. Thank you. The idea is really crazy!
Very fun! movement feels good and main gameplay loop is engaging. Feels like there should be some other types of enemies or something to stop the player from just bouncing off of walls and going fast side to side. Great game!
That reload mechanic was implemented by thinking outside the box lol
I like the idea, it's unique and I haven't seen something similar in all the other games I've looked at. I think the playing are could be a bit bigger and the gameplay maybe a bit slower, I found it hard to properly line up hit (or maybe I just suck)
Neat idea, needs more visual feedback especially when hitting the enemies though! Also the game lands on a pretty repetitive pattern easily, one more mechanic of some kind would help. The screen being confined feels like it limits the speed aspect a lot too, maybe a bit larger playing field could serve the idea even better? The theming is very fun
Cool color palette, easy in the eyes yet still contrasting for each element. The needed scaling element is simple yet still challenging enough for the survivability aspect of this game. The dilemma between offense and defense might be the goal of the dev, and it is portrayed well. Might need to change the restart button from F5 though, since mac players like me might need other keyboard to just restart the game. Good job! :)
I was actually planning to make it a different button, but i ran out of time. F5 on Linux and Windows simply refreshes the page!
Fun game! Reminds me of Nova Drift :) Why glucose by the way LOL
Glucose gladiaotr just rolls off the tongue!
Cool game! I like the arcade feel and I loved zipping around the level I felt unstoppable... until I lost.
cool game, i just thought it was too easy once you figure out a strategy. pretty creative. maybe add a stamina bar or make the acceleration slower if you wanna update the game
I found a strat that let me farm them. just go up and down super fast and spam shift. W game tho
Thank you for playing!
The colors are smooth on this one, the movement also feels good, I would've liked more variation.
I would have added more variation but sadly ran out of time...
a very creative aspect of the theme this year, very unique and interesting. The music and sound effect are very good and I do not have much experience with JavaScript for game dev but I think it is very impressive.
Javascript is in my opinion quite convenient for making games, at least for my workflow.
When Glucose Gladiator collides with Glucose, the game lags. I think you should look into that.
That is actually supposes to happen so that it makes extra impact, but i might have made it a bit too long.
