Game crashed after death.  No idea what was going on, looked like I was just jumping all over the screen at random.  Which was unexpected, but not in a good way.

Developer

Odd, thanks for letting me know

Very cool idea about swapping with enemies! However, the shooting feels very unresponsive, like I need to click many times for it to fire. And it crashes for me after dying or after clicking “Play Again”, like others said. Here’s the Unity log, if it’s of any help. There’s an ArgumentOutOfRangeException with a stack trace.

It will be a very fun game once these issues are fixed! I gave you a higher rating in advance. ;-)

That's actually very helpful, that's not at all where I thought the crash was, I really appreciate it

I’m glad to be of help!

First time every attempting some type of leaderboard, so i'm not surprised it's the suspect

Hey, I liked the game play concept a lot and the audio was a really nice touch! The game crashed on me after I hit "Play Again", maybe that could help you figure out the source? My biggest gripe about the game was that there was a lack of visual clarity. Because it was all so bright it was really difficult for me to see bullets, or figure out when I was shooting. Congrats on your second game jam finish - you should be really proud because this is really cool :) 

Developer

Hey thanks! I think I know what's happening. 


Yeah I tried to find the best compromise between the look and not disorienting. Appreciate the feedback though

I quite liked the concept but i found it hard to get into then it crashed on me twice with the music still playing so that put me off the soundtrack. but overall a cool idea and much better than some of my own game jam entries from the past 

Developer

Ah damn, when did it crash on you? I'll take a look at it tonight to fix it. Thanks though!

It was hours since i played but from memory i was a few mins in it froze up stuff disappeared and the music carried on i hope that helps

It gives me something look for at least, thanks for the feedback though! Second attempt at a game jam so I'm still learning 🤷
