Flying bird go pew pew, I like the way the scoring worked, it forced me to think and move a bit before shooting but those spinny things are awesome, I basically played a whole minigame with them haha
Haha it's actually a bug, in the later levels you can find power ups that mutate you into mosquito and spider. although all they do is make your laser bigger.
Nice game, with good but simple graphics and sounds. Nice job
Really like the mood of the game! Well done!!! Hope you like mine as well! Also what engine did you use?
i used Godot. Id be happy to make a gameplay vid of ur game, since i usually like reviewing games that way. i just need to know ur discord name.
We worked 2 people on this game, both of our usernames are: anleglift and panterasbook29. Can’t wait to see the review if you make one!!!
i just put it in the #general scorespace chat: https://discord.com/channels/481868362041917450/481868362041917452/1202772124499...
i tried to send it you anleglift, but it didnt work.
Thank you! Will surely check it out!
The game is nice, I really enjoyed the music and art style, simple but functional. I didn't quite understand what the cylinder does, sometimes it shoots me in a direction infinitely until I die.
PS: I really appreciated the video, if you have a YouTube channel, give me the link, if you don't have one, open it because you're too funny.
haha yeah, the white spinning cylinder is meant to make you warp to the next level when you get 150.
haha i do have a YT but its old and dead, i stopped when i was 12. maybe ill open my YT channel again.
Nice game, I like the aesthetic, reminds me of "Polybuis"(not an actual game) graphics. I got 11152, and I found the symbols corresponding to the intro screen aren't the actual symbols containing those values, is that intentional?
PS: I Love the gameplay videos you've been posting on Discord.
yeah i actually based this game off of polybius. there was cut content where i planned to have the white spinny triangle enemy act like the polybius pentagram or whatever u call it.
also i think your confused on how the scoring system works, or maybe i took what you said the wrong way.
for example if you shoot the blue symbole that contains the number "3" you would get 3000. but then if you shoot it again it would be 3300. so if you shoot the "9" symbol you get 9000 points on the spot. basically it goes to (score * 1000), (score * 100), (Score * 10) and then (Score * 1)
if your still confused let me know, sorry haha.
Oh, I think I get it now, I was confused because I thought shooting the symbol sets the place value rather than adding to it, for example, let's say I had a score of 2112 and then I shoot the '3' symbol, I was expecting it to change the first 2 to 3, but now I understand that it adds 3000 to the score so the score becomes 5112 rather than 3112. I thought the goal would be to just hunt the 9 symbols and shoot them to have the maximum score of 9999. That also could've been cool. Anyway, Thanks for clarifying it.
Hey if you can send ur discord name i would love to do a vid on your game in the general chat.
Oh, I would love that, my discord tag is CorpseRider.
ok its done: https://discord.com/channels/481868362041917450/481868362041917452/1202891977025...
The gameplay was interesting but a bit confusing - still not 100% sure what the spinning cylinder does. the way the score works made it pretty interesting trying to figure out which symbol to shoot next, but it's pretty hard to remember which symbol is which digit.
Im very sorry.
I've updated the description to include what the spinny thing does.
basically its meant to warp you to the next level when you press the laser button. You just have to use warp speed for 150 seconds.
No need to apologize! it was a fun game and I really like the idea of score being affected digit-by-digit
I really like the whole neon pixel game feel! Would be sick as a movement type game.
At some point all my symbols were gone while I still had quite a lot of time left on the clock, but perhaps im missing something. Oh and I love that spinny thing.
loved the idea, the controls were bugged a bit, the animations were cool and it felt like it was an old IBM game. nicely done!
haha interesting you say that. i was trying to do a mix of Commodore games and polybius.
Please read Description before playing game. thank you.
