Game was highly addictive and I can't believe the music was made in Pico-8!?
Great replay value on this one! I felt like ”OK, next time I’m really gonna focus on upgrading the shuriken” Oh, and the music is outstanding, and that game over sfx made me think of Castlevania on the Game Boy! 💜🦇 Really liked that the items hang around for quite a while, so even if I mess up in the moment, I can come back later and grab that xp! I didn’t get the upgrade system until I read about it, helped a lot getting that extra boost right from the start of the following rounds. 😄
As expected this game ended up being very addicting, I'm not very good at survivors but managed to beat 2 modes after maxing out the shop. I found the pistol to be harder than the katana, maybe because I played the katana a lot to farm chits.
Just nitpicking but it looks like the best run text only showed the time from the last run. Also I found it hard to tell when I got hit, especially when the screen would get busy towards the end.
Anyway there is a lot of content for a jam game and I had a ton of fun experimenting with different item combinations. Looking forward to playing the full game!
It's fun and quite challenging, though I would recommend tweaking the difficulty a bit as I feel it progresses really fast and you level up really slow.
That's a lot for a little jam game! Honestly I only have good things to say: it's fun and plays well, the challenge is there, the music fits perfectly and the graphics are rad within the rules. Outstanding job!
Wow, so much fun in such a small package. The weapons and upgrades all felt great. Stylish lowrez graphics. Absolutely banging music from @VAVMUSICMAGIC once again. Superb as always :)
Good job Mr. Johan, you never disappoint, by the way, when will picoCAD 2 be released? hahaha
Nice! I'm one of the few people who, after an hour of vampire survivors, said 'meh', but I really enjoyed this. I think I like the faster pace of movement - it feels like you have more agency.
I found the pistol and katana quite hard to use. I might have preferred higher usability but with the same chit ratio (the whip in VS is a really solid weapon, vs the starter katana here being quite difficult). Really liked this, obviously.
I'm colorblind, and I had a little trouble with the darker enemies against the background. Not sure how to address that one within pico8's boundaries.
Can't say anything bad about the game, I really enjoyed. The only downside, maybe, is that it is another survivor game, no new mechanics but that is not bad because it was really fun as all survivors.
It is awesome you made so much content for a jam and the UI and controls were great too. You have a perfect score in my eyes.
I lasted almost 5 mins, I was distracted when the green spiders attacked me, I probably will come back to to complete the game but now I want to play more jam games.
