Great game! I really liked the face-paced action implementation of the rebirth theme. And also there are "broken" sprites of enemies that has been hit is interesting!
There are a few times I went out of screens and couldn't find myself back haha.
Fun game! The different weapons are cool and I liked the some of the weird sound effects, I think they fit with the art style. Some of them sounded like they were clipping, not sure, maybe it was just happening on my browser.
Probably going offscreen should be disallowed (I once got lost and couldn't go back xD), and interestingly I think at least some of the enemy ships did not have collisions, but in general it was fun. Nice game!
Great game with cool mechanics , the sound effects are a bit "strange," and at times the moving background is quite distracting. maybe darkening the background could be really helpful.
Thanks!! Basically all the sound effects were made by recording sounds from my ukulele (playing strings or hitting/scratching it) and then processing them a bit (or a lot for the “explosion” sound). I need to keep working on my sound design skills haha
Good to know on the background… I darkened the moving bits at one point so I’ll try taking them even darker, or maybe even darkening it a bit more at the center and less at the edges so you’ll still get a sense of moving forward but with less distraction.
Really cool idea! the sound effects got a bit annoying, but everything else was great!
Having a single bullet sound gets old when there’s a lot of bullets, even with pitch shifting :D
Thanks!
The game feels like a Shoot ‘em up. It’s fun, but I don’t see how it fits the jam’s theme. Also, the player can move off-screen, which looks odd. Still, the game has spirit!
It’s not explained super well, but the core idea behind the game is that you gain the weapon of the ship that killed you, so it’s kinda like rebirth in that when your ship regenerates it is reborn with a new weapon. Now that I explain it it sounds like a bit of a stretch :)
Shoot, I forgot to fix the offscreen part!! I was trying to decide between allowing and showing an indicator to show where you are offscreen, or just blocking it (probably should just do the latter).
Thanks for the comments!
Rebirth with new weapons. Okay. Good luck!
