The game is simple yet oddly beautiful.
There may not be intricate art assets but the aesthetic is gorgeous to me. Moreover the uses of the colours and of the effects! I wish I had a Bad Apple!!-type reflection too.
I want to be haunted by a tiny angry ghost fairy. Where fairy?
Here angry fairy (she admittedly isn't quite ghosty)
Fairy Aside ,thank you so much for your comment!
It's like the cool IN mechanic but we don't have to babysit grandma! I liked that the gimmick was super simple to understand, but difficult to fully master. You definitely made good use of it!
Oh, and I really loved the sprite for the big green flower fairies in particular, they look great!
Fun and short game. Although the boss' last pattern does linger for a while longer than other patterns. I especially like the boss' second pattern and the stage pattern (which i suppose you can call the midboss sorta?) with the spinny bullets.
Fun game ! Only issue is that the difficulty isn't very consistent. One pattern you are chilling, the other you fight for your life. And is it me, or there is a short invincibility frames when you switch form ? Not sure if it was intended, but if it was, a small sound would have been great, because it feels rewarding !
The invincibility was intended! .... though indeed i made it by accident
It also does reset the invincibility timer so you can get hit multiple times quickly if you abuse it
I see the problem with the difficulty definetly, thank you so much for pointing it out
This was really good, I enjoyed it a lot and it functioned so smoothly. The concept was so easy to grasp and then play around with. Nice work!
Thank you! It makes me happy that you liked it!
Jam host here - do you have permission to use that song (Illusion)?
It's from the game engine i used
On the game page it says "no royalties aside from what you paid for the ost" , i assumed it was fine as other games used it
It's number 16 from here : https://store.steampowered.com/app/2561350/Shooting_Game_Builder_Soundtrack/
Oh I see. Yeah that seems fine.
