Good job on this one! The graphics are simple but get the job done, and the gameplay was pretty fun :) Nice logo too!
Only thing is from the start the player cannot block more than one enemy bullet at once, especially if they're coming from very different directions. Maybe a little warning for each enemy before it shoots, so the player knows to quickly block the bullet. You could also come up with different ways of balancing the difficulty. However, considering the little amount of damage dealt by each bullet, that didn't stop me from having a good time!
Overall good job :) Keep it up!
Hey, Whisker Games! Thank you for playing and for your valued feedback! I'm happy you enjoyed playing! ๐
Really fun and addictive! Would make a great mobile game! Congrats!
Hey, DougyDev! Thanks for playing and for your kind feedback! ๐
For me the gameplay was really challenging as I felt like there wasnt much to prevent getting hit, even from early stages, there are just to many to avoid being hit. That being said I feel like that was the only draw back. The game play is fun and simple. Easy to pick up and fun to hunt for a better score. Well done
Hey CornerPoint, thank you for playing and I'm glad you found it challenging! Some balancing is definitely needed to improve the spawning of the enemies! Thanks! ๐
The game is fun, but the spawning of enemies can be very annoying sometimes, they can even just spawn close to you and almost immediately hit you which isnt too nice.
The graphics are a bit too simplistic for my taste but theyre good at showing as to what does what.
The music and sfx are quite good and not getting annoying good job on that!
Hey, Skunkynator! Thanks for playing and for your valuable feedback! I understand the spawning system isn't perfect! Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to go back and improve on it!
As for graphics, I totally agree! I envisioned something a bit more elegant but ultimately kept it simple due to time constraints!
Glad you liked it! ๐
+: music, zorb text is cool, 2 control variants, theme fitting
-: graphics are a little strange
Hey, krengdroid! Thank you for your kind feedback and for playing! The graphics could definitely be improved! Thanks! ๐
Nice, reminds me of the fight in undertale against undyne. All in all, a good game. The music is cool and the sounds aren't annoying. Love it!
Hey, RezeKuS! Thanks for playing! I'm happy you enjoyed! ๐
neat and nice game. it was simple, but fun to play.
Hey, DragonBean! Thanks for playing! I'm glad you had fun! ๐
This one is well made. It was solid overall, but my biggest gripe with this game is that a lot of shots are just kind of unavoidable in some circumstances. Fun nontheless!
Hey, ronsiv8! Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I understand what you mean regarding unavoidable shots, which is why I included a health drop and to make the game a bit more of a challenge rather than it be too easy! ๐
I got into the top 3, yay! Well-made game, nice job! For me the most difficult part is when enemies become slow and shoot dozens of projectiles at my little ball with a little shield))
Hey, Delinester! Well done for making it into the top 3! I'm happy you had fun playing! ๐
The simplicity makes this really fun, and I'm surprised I still hold the #1 spot on the leaderboard. The only thing I don't like is the power ups arent really intuitive in how to use them. Fun gam all around though
Hey, River Banks! Thanks for playing, and I'm happy that you had fun! Congrats on holding first place on the leaderboard! It's an impressive score! Thank you for your suggestion too! ๐
Love the simplicity of the concept, definitely makes the game scaleable. I would say though that it gets a bit unrealistic to block all incoming projectiles when you get too surrounded. Perhaps if there was more of a noticeable rhythm to it all then one could more easily time it.
Hey, Anthony! Thanks for playing, I'm glad you like the concept! I definitely agree with you that the spawning can certainly be improved! ๐
I like how your mechanic incorporates the theme -- rather than the player absorbing things, the player's shield absorbs incoming obstacles. The only thing I'd recommend is to have an option for aiming the shield at the mouse. I really dig it, stellar job!!!
Hey FartFish, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your suggestion! ๐
It was very nice and simple. Personally, I would love it if there was a leveling system and upgrades.
Hey, Flawed! Thanks for playing and for your suggestions! ๐
this is realy good
Thank you, JUSTdev! I'm glad you like it! ๐
It is an interesting game, I like the concept of the powerups
Thanks, AtomicAnt! I'm glad you like it! ๐
Its nice :)
Great logo as well. it got me interested.
Thanks, martinbauer! Glad you enjoyed! ๐
Nice game! It was fun!
It got hard too fast though lol!
Thanks, Lion In A Box Games! I'm glad you enjoyed it and thought it as challenging! ๐
Too challenging way too fast haha!
Cool game, nice concept, nice execution, although a downloadable option would be appreciated since it lagged alot for me on web (probably since my laptop is old as hell)
Sorry to hear that, Vetticon! I hope you enjoyed it regardless!
