Very impressive.
Nice aesthetic, game felt very fun to play. SFX were nice too, the fact that you had voice lines in a 2D arcade space game kinda reminded me of the game Warblade (I remember that game fondly from when I was a lot younger).
Thanks, I have to check on Warblade more, looks like a fun game to play when I glimpsed about it fast in youtube.
Glad that you liked our game, I will be continuing the development of it after the jam is over.
Very addictive game and fun to play ! :3
high quality sound effects :o
Well made !
Thanks, glad you liked it, I'm going to expand heavily from this after the jam.
More stuff to come.
I love the art, and the game mechanic is very interesting!
This game is extremely fun to play and the movement feels good.
Thanks, nice that you liked it.
The majority of the graphics are from craftpix.net and by Kenney from GDevelop market place, some of them are made by us though.
Very intense gameplay and intresting mechanic, but I died almost 10 times in a row because of meteor arriving from sidescreen. I think player should have a couple of HP instead of restarting game only because of one hit.
P.S.: Pretty familiar ships :D
Thanks, glad you liked our game.
The one hit death is intentional on keeping the player really careful.
The side diving meteors are a nuisance that are to be addressed later on after the jam.
The ships are by Kenney and found them in GDevelop marketplace.
The games retro feel was awesome and the sound effects made the game great
Thanks, glad you liked it, we had so much fun making the sfx and speeches <3
The visual was great and it was a pretty fun game to play! I enjoy it a lot, good job :)
Thanks, glad you liked our game.
Keep following, there are more to come after the jam.
More levels, enemies, sips to fly with different fire patterns, more weapons and counter attacks and of course more speech lines and fantastic effects.
Pretty fun! I really like how the difficulty scales up, but I don't think the way the theme was put in very well, it was too fast paced that the number you got really didn't matter, just that you got extra time.
Yea I had loads of more dice mechanics planned but I ran out of time to properly implement them, but I'll continue developing this game further to a full fledged long game release.
oh no the red is power lost
Indeed, though power lost is power too :D
Nice visual and effects !Only thing is that the dice seem quite irrelevant.
The dice relevance is a bit lacking, true, it's function is to show the amount of life time given after each kill.
There was supposed to be more function to it but I ran out of time to implement them properly.
Nicely done! Congrats on finishing and submitting your game!
Honestly, I think my favorite design decision is the auto-fire lol. These top down shooters often ask you click to shoot or something, but in cases for jam games or more arcade-y styles, auto-fire feels better.
The core concept of extending your lifespan by a die roll is a good starting point, but it feels like it would just be a gimmick in a "full game" if that makes sense. Moment to moment gameplay it sounds like it'd be exciting, but in reality, it's really hard to keep track of and recognize how much time you're gaining each time. Maybe putting little +1 or +6 on screen when you kill something might help it feel more impactful? Ultimately, there isn't a way for the player to manipulate, react to, or otherwise care about the die rolls because over time it all averages out and they don't have any other choice.
Ooh, maybe the full version (if you go that way?) could have different die sizes (d4, d6, d8, etc) so players could prioritize killing tougher enemies for more time or something.
Sorry for the wall of text! Keep making games! Great jam entry.
Oh, and your hitboxes felt a bit off. Shooter games like this usually benefit from having super small player hitboxes so "close calls" feel better. I think a comet killed me a few times because it got too close but didn't hit.
No problem about the long wall of text, I like to read them :D
The dice amount was envisioned to be more apparent and profound as well as having multiple different effects, but alas I ran out of time to implement but only the basic effect.
The different die types are among the variety that was planned.
The hitbox on the player is intentionally precise as I myself don't like that much about the small hitbox type since I never can keep the track of when I'm hit or not.
Also there are some discrepancies on the hitbox accuracies since the tiny detail honing was left to last hours and ran out of time to fine tune them.
The game will be developed to a larger expanded full game later on with multiple stages and enemies to run through with multiple ships to fly with them having different fire patterns and weaponry upgrades.
Just wait and follow up after the jam to get more of this game <3
This was really snazzy, i loved the visuals and everything and once this gets updated itll be absolutely awesome
Thanks, glad that you liked our game.
It definitely will be continued, I have such great ideas on how to improve and expand from this.
Quite eager to get my hands on making more of it, already loads of improvement made at home waiting to be released after the jam and more to come.
Looking forward to it!
Cool effects and sounds. Game process is dynamic and hardcore
So glad that you liked our game. I will continue making it further and better with loads of more levels and ships and bullets and mayhem <3
Love voice lines, and like the fast paced action!
Thanks, we hade really much fun making the voice lines, and there is more to come after the jam is over.
Very polished and enjoyable! Only complaint is that the voicelines get old kind of fast.
Yea they tend to do that after a few hundred play throughs.
We're making more voicelines as well as levels after the jam is over and more.
Very slick! Both audio and video. But it feels like the dice was added after the fact (better without it)!
The dice had many other functions to be added but I ran out of time to implement all of them.
This is so much fun :D
Also the audio made me laugh, was not expecting something like that.
Thanks, glad that you liked our game and rest assured we had PLENTY of laughs ourselves when making the audio :D
There is more to come after the jam is over.
really fun, makes me feel like im playing an arcade game
THANKS! Glad you liked our game and especially nice to hear that the feel was captured and delivered to yuo as intended <3
This game is very polished and highly enjoyable. I just find it very unclear what the dice roll does
The dice rolls everytime you manage to destroy a target, rolling the dice gives you slight amount of life time added to the time you have left to live.
Nice! Awesome polish for a game made in 48 hours!
Thanks, glad you like our game.
