Its a nice game although the only thing i didnt liked is how much the camera moved, its very hard to focus and do quick mouse movement when the camera is all over the place, other than that its a great game!

Nice game! I liked how you had many different kinds of enemies, and I liked the effects for shooting and killing enemies. It all felt really juicy. The simple graphics also really work

Unfortunately I couldn't play this game for very long because the camera moved way too much when you aimed the mouse, and it made me kinda motion sick. Maybe consider toning that down because it makes it really unwieldy to aim and as mentioned before, is kinda sickening to follow the mouse movement

But besides that minor issue, good game well done!

thanks for the feedback and there seems to be alot of complaints about the camera throughout the games I made XD

Reply

I think the reason you get motion sickness might be the fact that the camera would offset too far from the player so I apply a script that would reset the camera position to the player :D

WOW THIS IS A LOT HARDER THAN IT LOOKS. Love the simplistic style, and I laughed too hard at the DED screen. Balancing out killing and dodging to heal and let yourself be hit to get money is a tough balance, but overall very fun!

This was a great game! The risk-reward aspect was pretty cool, and it was something I haven't seen in any of the other games I've played -- basically giving players incentive to jump into the mass of bullets in order to get points for upgrades, yet risking taking too much damage and dying. It was a great take on the topic! Also, I really liked the music, and the sound effects and particles were done really well!

My only issue with the game was that opening and closing the shop was a little difficult. I think having an option to bind it to right-click would be a good idea. That way, players wouldn't have to reach over to press V and then B from WASD.

Other than that, really nice job!!

congrats your the first player to realize that XD, I just don't bother about that since one there's no real advantage and two no time :3

Thanks for the award but you have to solve this as fast as you can

it makes the game too easy

Man, that was hard and intense.

You don't have much time to think. Basically, you have to survive while getting hit and killing enemies. You can only get 2 to 3 points in a row before dying, so it is almost impossible to get more than that before needing a heal. After some rounds, I got 130 kills and could buy some upgrades. 

I really like the concept, matches well the GJ theme.

well it's all about risk since your literally sacrificing yourself to survive, but yeah might be too hard :3
