The art is good, and the music is rad; really love it!
The gameplay however... leaves a lot to be desired. First of all having to repeatedly press space over and over again is tiring; most SHMUPs shoot continuously. Secondly, the bullets fired by the enemies disappear when the enemy that shot said bullet die, and knowing the engine you used I know exactly what you did and how to fix it: you added the bullets as the child of whatever entity shot the bullet instead of as the child of the world or at least get_tree().get_root()
Thanks for participating!
I enjoyed this one! I greatly appreciate the large health pool, especially since I'm normally awful at these types of games. I also appreciate the damaged artwork that Kasumi takes - that's some very nice polish.
Matte's suggestions are spot on (though the 1920x1080 issue wasn't that much of an issue for me, fortunately). The only other thing I'd add is that I'd like some kind of incentive or reward for defeating enemies beyond score. Since they only fire straight ahead, I'm not motivated to run the risk of losing HP to take them down.
Overall, I think this is a really solid entry to the jam! Excellent work!
Nice jiggle physics!
Fun little scrolling shooter. I've got 102900 points with 22 lives left ¦3
Amazing art of the menu, background, UI, character, and enemy animations. And extra kudos for smaller unnecessary details, like shadows, main menu design, and different fonts!
Music is great too! There are not much sounds, I love to hear more of them (e.g. for shots and hits).
The fact that the character's hitbox is of the size of its body is fine as it is compensated by the amount of health. It would be cool to have some visual/audio feedback when the character catches a bullet though.
My only minor complaints are:
Hope to see the game expanding!
Character design is peak, I also had a lot of fun with the game, even when it's not polished and juiced completely.
