Interesting game! I like that the characters and weapons give different buffs! I think it would be nice to have a little more feedback when you get hit (besides the hearts draining) and maybe a running count of orbs collected while playing. It might be interesting to go for a Loop Hero kind of thing where you can use the orbs to build and kind of grow your orb harvesting empire the more you play but you mentioned you didn't get levelling done in time so maybe you had something like that in mind.
I did notice quite a bit of slow down as more enemies started spawning. If you're using physics objects (area/kinematicbody etc) and you don't need the enemies to collide with each other, it might be worth putting them on their own layer and have them only collide with the player layer mask, might get you more frames.
Really nice game!
Really nice start to a bigger game. Took me a couple of turns to get a strategy, but then I went okay. Played long enough to get over 200 orbs but none of the unlocks were available (I think you mentioned this in the description?). If more content were unlocked I probably would have kept playing. My only other suggestion would be that 5 minutes is a long time to ask the player to try and last on a first play. Audio and graphics fit really well, great submission. :)
thanks you for your feedback! All of the characters and weapons can be bought using orbs you collect, to unlock them press the text that says unlock under the image, It is unintuitive and I’ll probably fix it after the jam is over.
Really nice job. Loved the sprite work and the feeling when the sword slashed through multiple enemies at once. It took me a while to realize I couldn't move diagonally, also the XP orbs were difficult to see.
Great job!
