Nice

Thanks!

Nice smooth movement. The enemies health was a bit of a mystery, I would have loved a health bar or something to help. Making music to add to the game is always a great touch!

Thanks for the feedback!

Right off the bat I liked the tutorial room explaining the controls and goal. 

The Good:

  • Controls are very smooth and responsive. Using mouse and WASD keys works well.
  • The overall goal of the game was straightforward and understood from the beginning
  • Custom graphics and music. That stuff takes time and that effort earns points in my book.

The Less Good:

  • Graphics are not bad but also don't stand out. Colors were easy on the eyes but a little bland/samey
  • No damage indication on the enemies, you simply had to shoot them until they disappeared. Needed some kind of feedback on that front. This was especially the case with the boss where I was unsure if i needed to shoot him or outlast him.
  • While most enemies were good and made you dance around while shooting them, some enemies were completely unavoidable due to their speed compared to yours. You had to hope you could get lucky enough to kill them before they killed you. 
  • Very linear. Always to the right, rooms always the same shape. I think some variety would have gone a long way. Vary up the room styles a bit, and make it more 'dungeon/maze-y' where the player needed to not only fight off enemies but find their way out.

Overall certainly not bad, especially within the time limit. Concept is workable, just needs polish and more too it.

Solid game, I enjoyed it and found it just the right level of challenging. If you want to take this game further, I'd suggest adding more "juice" to the game, like camera shake, more animations, etc. Totally understandable that they're not in the game yet due to the 48 hour time limit, of course. Good work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I tried to add camera shake, but I ran out of time.

At first, I expected that it is enough to roll more than the number depicted on the enemies. so, it was a bit confusing that they didn't die :D 

However, the concept and its realization is great! good job!

Developer

Thanks!

Hey. A couple of things:

- Having a health bar on top of the boss would have been nice.

- I don't really like the music that much... maybe you can work with a musician or use someone's music.

- Taking damage feels kind of weird.

- It'd have been nice if the player's health bar wasn't so small.


Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Nice little dungeon shooter! I couldn't quite work out if I just needed to survive against the boss, or whether shooting at it was doing damage! Good job overall!

Developer

Thanks! Yes, shooting the boss is the way to kill it.
