the laser wouldn’t show up.
Hi! Hmm haven’t had this issue so far in testing... the laser only activates when the yellow energy bar is full so I’m assuming maybe it wasn’t full when you tried to shoot the laser? Gotta charge yer laser!😆
okay, good to know, it wasn’t full when i tried.
Such a cool idea and well executed. I felt like a space machine haha. Had a blast, appreciate the music and the art a lot. Good job, well polished game!
Thank you!!!
The sounds are top notch; really really good the art also; the title screen; gameplay; and that star in the end very cool! I thought maybe each attempt would add another star in the sky like all the souls as a motivator to replay lots. This is really fun I would love to play it with controller support and a buncha levels.
Oooooo! Thats a great idea!!!! Like for a high score table you can scroll through the stars to see who got what. I think I'll revisit it at some point and add controller support, more types of enemies, maybe a boss as well, and that idea for highscores...
Awesome! I came back to play this one again later last night and yeah; this is definitely a favorite for me :)
That hard to play with arrow keys after so much years with WASD and mouse xd
haha yeah true, I'll probably change it to controller support or mouse and WASD later!
Nice game.
Pros:
The graphics are great.
The gameplay is smooth and simple.
Cons:
I don't know the game fits the theme.
The gameplay is kind of boring late game, since there is nothing else besides the two ghost types.
Thank you! Yes I agree. I should have added some other enemy types and even a boss or something, just ran out of time! There is a third enemy type that starts spawning about 1 minute or so in, but it is very similar to the other 2. Thank you for playing my game!
The design of the game is simply amazing, as well as the gameplay and dynamics itself, I was also very pleased with the soundtrack, I really like games with an 8-bit theme, and here is such a drive!
Thank you so much!!! The music is made with Tiatracker which only gives you 2 channels, which really gave it a unique flavor even when compared to like Famitracker or other kind of chiptune music making programs. Definitely recommend for anyone into old-sounding game music making!
The art style is great. I liked the gameplay a lot and the music is awesome! :)
Thanks!!!
Seems fairly simple at first, but there is a level of depth to it. The ability to shift and beam allow for some pretty skilled and rewarding plays. The art and music look and sound amazing as well. Nice job
Thank you for this!
Very neat game ! Liked the art style :)
Thank you!
Aesthetically awesome. Nice work.
Thank you!
Good controls and clean design. I like the self-imposed console limitations - they really made this game feel from an arcade.
Thanks!
You have just insanely awesome music in the game! It fits your game perfectly. Excellent graphics in the game. Nice design for this game jam.
Thank you so much!!!! I used Tiatracker for the music!
The pixel art, the design and the music look super cool. I like that you took time to make a little back story. The menus are super polish. Great work.
Thank you
