Nice idea. The art is very cute but the gameplay needs a little tuning because it takes way too long to fill the meter. This may be by design for the mental health message but it comes off a little tedious. I think one thing you could do to help is to make the clouds red and green with white +/-. That way it's more immediately clear which is which so people don't accidentally shoot the good thoughts just because they see "cloud". The sound effects are perhaps a little severe but otherwise it's a really nicely made game.
Thank you for the feedback! Colored clouds do sound like a good idea. I also agree that sound effects need adjusting, in general audio needs tweaks.
This game was adorable in its presentation, but a bit brutal in its gameplay. It was a bit hard to be precise when trying to shoot away the negative thoughts, but I still found it really fun and I'm glad I got to see the girl be happy. Great work overall.
Thank you! I agree it can be hard to be precise, especially toward the end. The speed of your turret goes up along with the difficulty and I didn't cap it so it's easy to miss in the later stage of the game.
The game's gameplay and visuals are nice overall. The audio is too high pitched for my taste though, and I feel like the theme should probably influence the gameplay more so over-all or at least be more clear in the game rather than in the description itself?
Thanks for the feedback!
Lovely art and I like that you had to balance the + and - when shooting, well done!
Thanks!
Really liked the style!
Thank you! I kinda wish I did more with the visuals but I ran out of time
Nicely done, it's a good idea to have the "+" collectable, it stops shooting in circles being a working strategy. Good job!
Thank you! Yeah I was just shooting around in circles before the inclusion of the +
