The visuals were good, although as other has pointed out, the colours were a bit too intense.
I think you hit your concept good, you took a simple idea and made fun gameplay out of it. Nice variation on the bosses.

Well done!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback

I love that you got creative here with the patters. All bosses felt different to deal with. Good job!

As others already mentioned, people with sensitive eyes could not enjoy this game to the fullest currently. I'd advise muted colors, but this is again depending on the overall style.

For Toxic Bok's homing missiles I'd suggest adding a blinking animation or something similar to indicate that they'll blow up. Was not clear for me from the start.

I hope you keep on making games if you enjoyed this jam.

Developer

I did enjoy this jam it was fun thanks for the feedback

Enjoyed this game!

Would however like it to be more noticable when you're "hit"/when you die as it just seamlessly starts over, often I wouldn't see how long I had survived so couldn't compare.


The colours are also intense on the eyes and gave me a little eye strain after a while - would maybe tone down the contasting colours in future as a game like this is meant to be played repeatedly! :)

Developer

thanks for the feedback yah I should turn it down

Pretty impressive for a 2 day jam! The visuals can be a little intense to look at. Decent job overall.

Developer

thanks for the feedback

Will take this to consideration after looking at some reviews complaining about the visuals. I think it's due to the same colour background. Thanks for the review

With some additional / better feedback I would have enjoyed it even more!

Examples: I don't know how long I'm supposed to try to survive / The last Boss Wings of hell shoots red bullets on a red background (seems not the best combination xD?) / I don't see when I'm getting hit (and having some frames of invincibility could have been nice).

Regardless - well done :)


 

Developer

there’s a timer at the top telling you how long you survived the good is to survive as long as you can and get new high scores

Simple and nice. I am quite curious how was done all the bullet patterns. Not the type of game I am use to play, but I really enjoyed, even if I died quite a lot in the process XD

The game is amazing except for one super small thing. While fighting the chickamancer, you can hide behind the menu button and nothing hits you. Was that a bug or intentional. Out of all the games I've played so far, other than Theo's and Zaetu's,  yours is the best, so good luck. But sadly, my slow-ass PC lagged super hard because of so many particles, so didn't have the full experience. Me and my friend rated your game a 4.8 out of 5 btw so you have a good chance!!! 

Developer

Thanks for the lovely review. Regarding the bug that was not intentional lol but could always be a cool easter egg. 

Developer

thnkas for the feeedback

Cool idea, was a little unpredicatable, but it's always fun to survive. Toxic Bok was so hard to survive xD
Mechanics seem complex enugh to develop, good work. Music <3

I couldn't tell when the level was over - simple retry button would have been nice :)

Personally for me Toxic Boc is my favourite too! We had talks about a death screen but unfortunately had no time... Thanks for the feedback!

Bullet hell game in the garden. The idea though simple is quite addictive and constantly makes me try another one and improve the record. I was most successful in the third toxic garden. The only remark is that the mouse pointer or player is not a well-set Z value, I would set it to be above the text in the home menu or maybe I'm cleaving too much :) Overall fun and playful.

Developer

We're always here for feedback whether it's bad or good! Glad you liked the idea but you'd have to thank Mango for that! Have a lovely day.

Pretty fun, managed to find a op spot on the second game mode, of hiding in the bottom corner!

Developer(+1)

Lol so did I when testing but I mean what's a game without cheats am I right... πŸ˜…

all the greatest games have secrets!

Developer

seems like the second one has many cheat spots

Cool game! It is way too difficult for me though
