I liked the juice, the game looks like it has sound because of the animations. Interesting making the game auto fire, this was ok, but sometimes it would be hard to face the enemies and also dodge the bullets which were at times out of FOV.

fun gameplay, nice spritework and graphics. Some audio would breathe life into it

I couldn't survive once it hit three digits, I assume it gets incredibly difficult further on. Really fun game!

This game is simple, but also really hard. It's a nice tiny game loop.

I played this game on stream, the vod is up at http://bit.ly/bean-stream

Thanks for streaming and for your feedback! :D

I rejected WASD. I played with arrow keys 3:)

 
Gave me some Doom and TormentorXPunisher vibes, definitely a fan. Are you going to add sounds post-jam? I'm looking forward to it cause I had real fun! Good job :D

Developer

Glad to hear you liked it! TxP was big inspiration for this game :D If I have the time and energy I would like to update this game with sounds and more enemies

Cute! Nice and simple gameplay, maybe a little too simple though. Removing the aspect to shoot removes a lot of interactivity, which makes it harder to engage

It had surprisingly good game feel though, and also nice visuals! Still felt nice to just run around and dodge bullets!

I like the easy to grasp, intuitive gameplay. just wasd around the map while your character does their thing. The transition between the menu and the level was also pretty cool

No sound tho? Might be a problem on my side ._.

I had too little time to finish this game, had to choose between proper start screen or sound effects & music :P

My highest score so far. Definitely playing more

Loved the spritework. Having the ground portals for enemies was great to know where they're spawning. However, because the corpses stay after you kill them, it becomes a little harder to see the other enemies which spawn. Mostly because even though the colour of the corpses is darker, it doesn't really contrast too well with the normal enemies.

The UI for a new wave looked cool, but it becomes a hindrance later since enemies still shoot at you even when the UI kind of blocks your vision. Enemies shooting you off screen was also a little annoying at times. I think maybe having enemies shoot at you only if they're more or less at the same height you're at would help with this.

Love how health is handled in the game though, getting hit activating berserk mode to help you since another immediate hit results in death. This results in things being even more tense since you're still on the offensive to try to regain your normal state. Makes me wonder if you could have enemies which require berserk mode to kill them.

Not really a fan of having to push WASD all at once to start the game XD. It's a good way of telling the player that all they'll need is WASD, but isn't really too intuitive. ( P.S Arrow keys also work during gameplay, but not during the opening, maybe mention them on your game page ? )

None the less, this was a very fun little run n gun

Thank you for all the feedback! Enemies didn't shoot offscreen before I reworked how camera works and then forget to change enemy shooting logic. Also that idea with enemies requiring berserk mode to kill them sounds interesting, need to try how it feels

This is why I play gamejam games. What a wild ride.

That was fun! At first I though I need to press wasd to shoot as well, but hopefully he managed to do it himself )

It has really fun gameplay. Great work!

Submitted(+1)

Cool, game! I like that you can only shoot left and right since it adds to the challenge of dodging the bullets wile still getting hits in. The art style, animations and ui are all really well done as well!

Submitted(+1)

Love the animations and style!

Though its actually about 300... I had a score bug, it wasn't resetting to 0 when I replayed so this number just kept going up. Great game :) all those bodies x_x

Thanks for feedback! Just Realized I forget to set the score back to 0 :D
