Another good "simple but great idea".
Gameplay:
- Here lies everything. You have three simple controls (move, shoot, explode) and one mecanics: grownig. Mechanics that also you enemy can use, creating more and more challage. You have to think well when to shoot/explode, before you have no more space to move.
If you wanted to recreate the feeling of an old game, you did it very well.
Graphics:
- Perfect for this game. Maybe a little bit minimal, but this is only personal taste.
Music:
- One of the few time where SFXs can do the job alone. Usually I like to hear something on the background, but here would take away the retro-taste of this game.
Relevance to the Game Jam's Theme:
- Perfectly on theme. And not only that: you were able to use in a very good way the small amount of time given to you. Four days are still four days.
GG, you're on a good path.
I always love to see more Pico-8 games! It's a fun idea and I love the feeling when you explode and the screen changes. Great job!
Really fun and addictive game loop. The particle effects are great! And always nice to see other Pico-8 entries! Well done.
Really addictive! Can't stop playing, love the explosion detail
Really easy to pick up, but difficult to master, I love how you pack so many decisions into such a simple game, like whether to focus on taking out enemies as they spawn, or risk leaving them be until you can use the explosion, and whether to stay small and nimble, but with very little ammo, or pick up more ammo, but take on the risks of slower movement and a bigger hitbox. Overall an amazing entry.
Really easy to play and instantly enjoyable. Hitboxes felt a bit unfair at some point, but nothing dramatic. Nice entry !
"Its's Orbin Time!" power rangers mentioned??
The gameplay is very polished, clean, and easy to understand. The sfx were appreciated too, they suit the game perfectly! Great job!!
Orbz is GOTY
very fun little game, lots of good juice, makes sense from the theme. definitely more potential but nice job
PICO 8 MENTIONED 🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥 seriously, the game’s really fun. it’s impressive how juicy it is for a game made in 4 days, especially in pico 8 great job!
Pretty difficult game, loved the idea that when the player gets bigger it gets slower. Also, the background turning black when exploding is chef's kiss.
Great entry!
the arcade style of this game is cool. it also fits the theme well!
