really cool game, good job :)
Great game! I really liked it! The only thing I would like to see is some sort of feedback when you or an enemy takes damage.
cool game, but why do all these scientists have guns?! :P
that's a really good question tbh
This was really well done, had fun playing it. I think I encountered a bug where I got one-shot by a bullet despite having full health but only once. I think the dash could use some tweaking, it's so small and the cool down long enough that it was something I mostly just ignored but other than that it was a great game. nice job!
thanks for reporting the bug! I'll definitely look into fixing that
Quite simple but enjoyable! That might be just my taste, but adding some glow, crunchier sound effects, and destructible terrain (I noticed the lights are breakable, for instance )would make this game incredible!
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback, I'm definitely going to add some more sound effects and feedback for the player. I tried to add glow for the laser, but ran into issues because I'm using GLES2.
Destructible terrain is a really cool idea! Could use that for secrets
Cool game, I love mad scientists) Of course, this is just a top-down shooter, but a good job has been done on the mechanics and details (the chain reaction is super). Well, the boss is cool, despite the simple design
Nice game! I enjoyed that satisfying chaining reaction! I just think that the plutonium is not presented enough and blends with another lights (at first i did not notice it and did not know where to take it from). Additionally I would say that the dash is a little too short. Love the graphics and the tileset.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback, I'll definitely tweak some things after judging is over to make the game a bit more approachable
Very nice game! I'm surprised by the quality of all the tiles and variety of sprites. I even saw some skin tone variations in the soldiers. The gameplay worked pretty well although the dash was so short that I couldn't actually find a use for it. I liked the idea of having to maintain a balance between power and safety.
My only real complaint is that for half the game I thought there was no audio until I saw the text in the top right and turned my volume WAY up. :D
Hey thanks! I wrote a shader to give the scientists and soldiers variety in skin and hair tone, so I'm glad you noticed that haha. The dash goes farther if you have more charge, but it still might be a little weak overall. That's surprising to me about the audio, but thanks for letting me know
game is super fun! love top down shooters, only thing I would change is maybe make the plutonium pick ups float up and down cause at first i didn't realise you could pick them up. also for added game juice make the enemies blink when they are getting shot. amazing game, keep it up!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! And I appreciate the feedback
Sadly didnt manage to get to the boss (I suck at top down shooters), will come later to try again when I'm done rating games, but it for sure is a very good submission !
The plutonium mechanic works pretty well, and I love the HUD representing it. It is a very good use of the theme.
Anyway, congrats !
Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I definitely made it a bit harder than it needs to be - might have to add in difficulty settings after judging
Awesome entry! I loved the laser mechanic with the plutonium pick ups. The game actually had a nice difficulty. I had to play a little carefully. Really enjoyed the environment art, and the boss battle at the end. :)
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
