This was really good! I love the artstyle and the song. Awesome that you can choose from 3 characters, a little strange that their selection quotes are so inspiring considering what kind of game this is. My original plan was to play as all three and switch out when I died, but then I didn't die so I only played as the cowboy hat guy. Only things I can think to improve would be balancing, a couple visual bugs, and an AI bug I encountered. 

For balancing, I was able to put all my points into damage and do more than 200 in a single shot by day 3-5, making it so I could one shot all enemies except for octagons, which I could 2 shot. By the time I had 1000 health and a 100 round clip, nothing but the missile triangles could touch me and they couldn't do enough. The health regenerates very slow by that point too, still only +5 every few seconds, so I never made it to full health. The visual bugs are just little things, like the day counter saying day twice and the ammo counter flipping when you look left. The AI bug was with the hexagons, which would all rush to the bottom of the map and stay there. I also couldn't kill them and they'd slow the round count and the enemy spawn rate. Other than that, this game is great! Well done!

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the detailed feedback :) you are totally right for the bugs, and I will fix all the bugs immediately after the game-jam, that with Hexagon was a terrible bug, and definitely will be solved the UI system :)) and everything you said, and upgrade system will have a limit and price for upgrading will increase by +10, +15 it will be something as that, your feedback will transform this game for much better, thanks a lot for this feedback :))

Cool art and cool game! Make sure to check out my game as well! :D

Developer

We've played for 8 waves and 7 days. In one moment we upgraded Reload Time to 0.026sec and moving + every other upgrade lost their sense (except damage), because you can just stay in one point and rotate your mouse + LMB. Maybe you want to add some limit for upgrades or increase money count for every of it? 


We absolutely love the art and music, great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for playing and for the feedback :) yes, I totally agree with your feedback, Upgrade system will be fixed after game-jam, I was just hurrying and didn't pay much attention to it :/ the game needs a lot of things to be improved xD and I will do it exactly after game-jam, thanks again :))

Interesting game. Loved the music and the mechanics are nice, however, I really don t know how you implemented the 3..2..1 theme.

Developer

Thanks for playing and for your feedback, before every wave of enemies, there is the countdown, 3...2...1 and go, and then enemies appear, after killing all the enemies, countdown 3.2.1 will appear again for next wave of enemies :)

Was not expecting a sci fi alien/zombie war as the plot but here we are! This game's pretty good honestly, upgrades a pretty good but some has a a couple of glitches, the enemy variety is great, the music goes super hard for no reason, overall a good shooter!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and for the feedback :)) I agree, for upgrades bullet power and player speed, the upgrade had an error that needed a bit of time to be solved, and I didn't have enough time :/ but thanks for positive review :)) 

Submitted(+1)

No no that wasn't the error, the error I found is that when you max out your reload speed upgrade the game doesn't prevent you from spending more money on it, and I assume that happens to all upgrades but I only maxed out Reload speed on my playthrough. But it is a small error, nothing game breaking

Developer(+1)

You are totally right, thanks for pointing it out :) but it was in short amount of time, and I didn't put much effort there :/ but I will fix it totally after game jam :)) I will make it to have a limit for upgrading :)) and next upgrade to need more money, smth as that

Developer

Thanks for playing, and glad you had fun :)

I loved the visuals in this game, it felt very reminiscent of something you would find on newgrounds. Like others have mentioned the UI was very small, but I also felt the upgrade menu was very unresponsive and I wasn't really sure if my upgrades were being applied. The main menu is also VERY loud when you hover over buttons for me. Looking past the UI though, it's a very promising game, really good job on creating it's art and gameplay in such a short time!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for playing and for the feedback, you are totally right, these will be fixed after gamejam, but it was in short amount of time, and I didn't went so deep into details, after I published it, I noticed too these problems, and I was like "oh damn" XD and for upgrade menu it doesn't work only for bullets damage and player speed, I was running out of time to fix these, but UI will be definitely fixed after game-jam, thanks again :D

On Safari the game is bugged, I just have a background color :/

Developer

Hello, sorry for the inconvenience,  I haven't tried the game in Safari, it is designed to be for Google browser, thanks for the understanding :))

Developer

And the game is played only in full-screen :) bc firstly I decided to make it a downloadable game, but I changed it because people have it easier to play it in a browser :)

The game is very polished good job ! Also why are you faster when you move vertically :/

Developer(+1)

Ah yes, that is a bug that I will solve it after game-jam, thanks for playing and the feedback :)) 

Submitted(+1)

The game feels very polished. The art was nice and the sound effects were great! Gameplay was fun and smooth. It was a little hard to read the UI because it was a bit small. Overall I really enjoyed this entry! Great job!

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback :)) I agree with you and everyone, UI will be fixed immediately after game-jam :D

This was really fun to play! As others have said, the UI can be worked on more but otherwise everything else was awesome. Great work :)

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing and feedback :) yes I agree, I didn't put too much effort on UI, but it definitely needs a lot of work to do :D

Nice game! I got to wave 7. It’s really addicting. The only changes I could think of are UI based since the settings menu was way too small and also the font doesn’t fit well but all in all, Well Done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and for the feedback, I will definitely change the settings menu to make it bigger after the game jam, also fonts as well :)) also I enjoyed playing your game, was perfect, great job!

Thanks and you’re welcome!

Nice animations and particle effects, the post processing effects like the blur and then the camera shake can get a little too much and makes it hard to look at after a while. However, overall it's a very enjoyable game, it's especially amazing that you implemented a very detailed upgrade system and 3 different characters. Keep up the good work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for feedback, I really appreciate it, and I will fix the post-processing effect and camera shake, I will make it not so strong shake, at the game I will add also new features in the future like, new enemies, power-ups, new guns etc. Thanks for playing :))

nice shooter, just the beep when you pass your mouse over a button is a bit irritating 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I will definitely remove it :)) 

Submitted(+1)

I really like this game! The art style is really cool, and I like how animated everything is! The upgrade cost should change later on, but other than that great job!

Developer

Thanks a lot for this comment, I really appreciate it, upgrade cost will change soon, but I will add also other things to the game to make it more fun :) for any suggestions, I'm open to listening to everything :))

Submitted(+1)

Fun endless shooter. But a little too easy later on, making each upgrade cost more money than the previous one would be a nice way to balance it out. But I like how many things to upgrade there are. The art and the effects were really nice :D

Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback :D and you are totally right, after game jam I will upgrade the game, I will add also, power-ups, more enemies, different weapons, upgrade cost I will do it as you said, and it will be nice product :D thanks a lot and good luck

Submitted(+1)

It looks very good. Upgrade system UI is not suit the game, but well done!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing my game and for the feedback, and you are right, I ran out of time, but I will definitely fix it after game-jam :))

Very solid top-down shooter! I’m not so sure about the continuous wobbly terrain effect, but that purple skull death animation stuff is friggin cool!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for the feedback Fodi, you are right for the screen shake, is a bit too strong, I will fix it to make it less stronger :))
