the game is simple and polished, mecanics are fun and in theme, good job!
Thank you!!
Cool! Interest mechanics in this game! This is snake 2.0 in space!
I was originally using snakes!! But they occupied more space!! SO switched to rockets!! Thank you for playing.
Thank you for the game :)
Just....awesome!! One of my favourites so far. So elegant, And the music is perfect! Congrats!!
Glad it's one of your favorites!!
Super cool game! I must say that the idea was simple but brilliant - I had a ton of fun playing it!
Glad you liked it!!
Wow! it was fun! good job! congrats!
thanks for playing!!
Really fun game, nice graphics and music, really cool concept, tho I did not like that when you pick up start that spawn on the middle of screen, the ship spawn and telefrags you. My highscore was 24
Yeah ik that's annoying. I didnt get enough time to think of that, but I got really good suggestions on how to improve the spawning! I'll do it after the jam.
Really fun game! My 2 pieces of constructive criticism is I would have liked it if the main ship was a little different color from the clones so it was more easily noticeable (I know it had a glowing light behind it but it took me awhile before I noticed, wasn't immediately obvious)
The second thing is I would have liked a little break after I lost a life to get a little breather. Like used the time skip power code to pause the game while a respawn animation played out (kinda like geometry wars)
Well done! Excellent gameplay loop!
Thank you for the idea! Yeah, that makes sense! If I had released my game earlier I would have heard about all this in the beginning and would have tried to incorporate that. I will take your suggestions! Thanks a lot!
I'd like to add to this because I agree with developRHUNT. I think the foundation for the game is amazing, and the concept is executed perfectly! The few things I think could make this game feel more complete is what developRHUNT said, as well as the functionality of slowly zooming out the screen to give the player some more space to work with. I think this could make the game more fun but at the same time less challenging/competitive, which, depending on what you're going for, may be a good thing or a bad thing. But I think it would be cool to give the player more space and see hundreds of rockets flying around. It might make the rockets smaller of course, which is probably bad, maybe make a limit to how much it can zoom out? Idk just throwing out an idea. Otherwise, I think the game is amazing!
yup makes sense!! I'll probably do that! I'm so glad to get such nice feedback and suggestions. Thanks to everyone!!
:)
I like the idea and the execution is on point Great job!
Thanks for playing!
Love the lighting and how the time freeze power-up turns everything dark. I think the game could use some hit-stop when you get hit by your clone to make it feel more impactful. Simple but really fun!
I tried doing that, but one of my friends suggested keeping the clones moving and all! I guess I could try implementing this in the next update! But thanks for playing and the suggestion!
Time freeze is my fav too. The music also slows down a bit!
This was a really fun game! The visuals are great, everything looks very polished. The game's difficulty ramped up nicely, and the limited turn speed of the rocket was a bit tricky and frustrating, but in a good way! And I LOVED that music!! Great job!
Thank you!!
Edit:
Why am I not able to see your submission?
This is a very pretty game, hard and well polished, great job! :)
Thanks for playing!
Very simple, but still very enjoyable. Nice job.
Thanks for playing!
This game is really cool! Lots of fun to play, really pretty to look at, and that music is FUNKY - in a good way! Great job!
Thanks for playing :)
The music was amazing and the FX were incredibly juicy and satisfying, especially the powerup that destroys other clones!
Thank you!! I think you mean the "Mines" powerup! I personally like the "Time Freeze" powerup!
This is the kind of mechanic that is in need of expansion.
First of all, I really like this game. The music and art fits the style you're going for. Nice job on adding a tutorial video.
Now here's some of my suggestions. They will not work on there own, but I believe they will work if you decide to expand upon the game in general.
- Clones should be able to pickup scores and powerups.
- Clones should be able to collide with each other
For the ideas above to work, you would need to rework the lives system and the overall goal of the game. It's just a suggestion, but I feel like this game would really shine with more complexity and mayhem.
Thank for you playing and the suggestions! At first, I did allow clones to pickup scores (not powerups though). But that seemed weird and difficult to focus on the player. And I had to remove the clones colliding with each other because that would make the game easier and no need for power-ups at all! But I'm glad you brought this up as I'm planning to expand this game!
Maybe I will create a new powerup that temporarily lets clones collide! That could work I guess!
Like some other games in this jam, it seems very simple but it can get interesting and more complex as you keep going and get further into a run. I really enjoyed the controls, art style, MUSIC!!!, and general concept.
There are a few things that I would suggest to improve:
I enjoyed what I played, despite my criticisms, good job!
Thank you for your wonderful comment! And thanks for the suggestions! I already have some ideas and I will consider your suggestions. Initially, this was supposed to be multiple levels, not endless mode. I planned to have snakes instead of rockets! With different level designs. But I thought to make it endless due to time constraints! But I will definitely add what you suggested!
Cool game man! At first it wasn't working but I think it was more itch than your game.
Oh yeah! I think I guess what happened! Maybe you clicked outside the game window which stopped the game to respond! Itchio does that sometimes :(
Really nice game, i like it a lot!
Thank you!
Fun addicting game, the art and the music is good!, nice concept. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! You're game was fun too!
I enjoyed this game, the more clones the more frantic it gets and difficulty spikes too.
Yup! The initial game name was "CHAOS"
