Really cool game! Very fun to play and get lost in!
Really juicy and fun! However, I really don't understand how pickups work. First few pickups were quite straight-forward - a die rolls a result, you pick up it to get a powerup. But then pickups started spawning enemies, and it took me a bit to come to a conclusion that some sides of a die spawn enemies instead of powerups, and I liked the idea. But then I started paying attention and saw that it didn't really matter - every single pickup spawned a boss, even if it rolled a healing icon, for example. To me it looked like a bug, but I'd love to hear from you. Again, great presentation, I still played a full session of it and enjoyed it!
I had feared the icons would look like pickups. So when you run out of ammo you reroll a new weapon and the icon over your character is the reroll animation selecting a new powerup. When an enemy dies it rolls a buff as well so it also shows an icon over where they died. The boss icon is a permanent buff (if you max out all his buffs and kill him you win) while the grunt enemies get a temporary buff for that life and basically exist to annoy you. The boss icons definitely look like powerups though since they're buff icons for the boss itself (+boss hp, + boss speed, + boss shoot pattern, + enemy spawn). I'm glad you still enjoyed the game though!
Really fun! I liked the visual effects, the clean UI and the weapons that get randomised when you run out of ammo (I used that mechanic in my game too!). Though a score system would be nice
Awesome game this is so fun love it. The boss gets so hectic later on. Only thing I would say is it would've been great to add a score at the end so that I can show off how good I am at it XD
This was a pretty fun game! I also enjoyed the overall Geometry Wars aesthetic and music. It would have been nice to have maybe a couple more weapons and map variations to add variety to the game but the core gameplay loop was engaging enough on its own!
I like the visuals of the game, and creative weapons.
