dodging the swarming enemies was very satisyfing and the screenshake and soundtrack match the intensity of the gameplay perfectly!
Very different game. And very hard for me, as english is not my native language. But overall pretty fun
Very cool game! I never in a million years would have thought of this. The shooting is satisfying, and dodging the swarm of enemies is really fun. That said, some different types of enemies would definitely be beneficial, I think, or maybe just some different enemy behavior, as right now it's pretty easy to win just by moving in a circle. Also, while the healing puzzles are a great idea, sometimes it felt impossible to guess the word. I got the start and end of "flamethrower" with no middle letters, and I was at a complete and utter loss. Who knows? Maybe I'm just not smart enough for this. If you decide to expand this idea at all (which you absolutely should), I would also recommend implementing some different types of healing puzzles, as that would really add to the chaos! I'm seeing a Warioware style shooter in my head, and I'm loving every second of it. Thank you so much for the game!!
Loved playing this game. Great idea to combine the word puzzles as the healing system. Makes it educational even. My students would have more fun practicing spelling lists like this, that's for sure!!
Thank you! I might focus on the educational theme. Add some kind of word teaching before asking for guessing the word. Haven't really thought about that so will see...
A lot of fun, the only suggestion I have is to make the enemies a bit tougher as they are too easy to kite in the current state.
Yeah I was thinking of different kind of enemies too
Use of Limitation = 5 stars. I would never think these things would go together.
The gameplay feels solid. It was really fun
Thanks for your feedback! One of my friends actually gave me the idea. He is quite dumb but I guess he had good luck that day in order to think of this idea.
As people that don’t like to refer to people as “dumb” say, “He just has a different view on life” 😂
Sometimes a different perspective is a very good thing.
Cool game, I like the permanent firing.
Funny idea with the word puzzles. One time I got
gunand all the letters where already there => easy health ^^You got the word "gun" already made because you are special ;D Actually I didn't think there are words with 3 letters. Next update will fix it :D
Not bad, mixing frantic action with some brain teasers. :D
I only wished I could enter the words without clicking the textbox, and submitting them with 'ENTER' instead of clicking the submit button.
Thanks for your feedback! Noted.
The word puzzle part is just hilarious. Nice game. Also I feel you I´m also on a diet.
Hahaha. Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you liked it. Also health is first, and there's only hell if you are not on a diet. xD
Oh my. You realy got me there. The moment I had to type in the letters it made my jaw drop, thats a funny idea. Also I like the simple artwork. Well choosen colors.
Best choice for the music in the game and even when you die. It feels realy good.
I think you should change that thumbnail in this page, because at first glance I did not feel like clicking on that. Your game deserves to be seen!
Thank you for your feedback! I changed it, it isn't much, but that's the best I can do xD Next time I'll search for graphics designer beforehand.
Don´t worry. I think you did a really good choice on the overall gamedesign, especially colors, I enjoy it very much
By the way if I could make a wish: It would be hilarious to get a puzzle prompt when you die where you have to type in "Gameover''
That's a very interesting idea! Noted. 😂
Fun game. The shooting feels very satisfying
Thank you! Satisfying shooting is better than drugs.
This is a really fun concept. A little difficult until you figure out what you are supposed to do. I ran around shot enemies for a while until I accidentally ran into the yellow box.
Yeah, when you played it there wasn't any kind of an introduction to the game. Now I added little introduction under the game. Thanks for your feedback!
This game is super fast and adicting, the detail of the words being related to weaponry puts you into the context so well, however, English is not my main language so my ultimate strategy was to stay on level one and shoot enemies like there is no tomorrow, and I enjoyed a lot ^^
Thank you for your feedback! Well... you can always find a way to complete an objective when you have the spirit! That's the goal of my game... I guess... now that I read your comment XD
