Cool concept, an interesting spin on the theme! The visuals are simple but nice (good work on the menu btw) and the controls sharp and responsive; the absence of music is really a bummer, but it is not that big of a deal after all.
Unfortunately the game is a bit too hard to play even at standard difficulty due to a series of factors: first of all the fact that you can only hit the highlighted pusher, meaning that if you happen to get one highlighted that you are physically unable to hit because of the random generation of platforms you have to wait for a long time, increasing your chances to get accidentally hit. Also, the visual hint that the laser is about to shoot is a bit too short and often I found myself jumping, having the laser stop mid-air and getting hit on the way down, which can feel a bit frustrating.
Apart from these issues, though, the game idea is really interesting and its difficulty cam mean that you get motivated to try it a bunch of times. If you polish the mechanics a little bit more this can really become a cute little game, so keep up the work! ^-^
Cool concept and I like the way you interprated the prompt!
Pros: cool visuals, fun and simple concept, good amount of polish. I also appreciate the different difficulties though standard was definitely hard enough for me haha.
Cons: physics are a bit janky at times, music would be nice and a couple more sound effects would have added a lot esspecially sound ques for the lazer charging up, the precedural generation was a bit unforgiving and I would sometimes have to survive for a minute or longer before the game happened to grace me with the tile position I needed to destroy the next booster and I ultimately didn't finish the game because of it.
Overall fun game and creative concept.
Well Done! I really liked the concept and visuals.
foe the answer is foe
I found it a bit hard to direct the laser so it hits the right pusher.
Also, some music wouldn't have been bad.
Apart from that, I like the sfx and the visuals are great.
Overal a fun game
Interesting concept, I love how you have to juggle staying on top of the platforms, avoiding the laser, and baiting the laser into hitting one of the pushers. The jump feels a little on the floaty side, but otherwise it's pretty fun. As another person suggested, it might be better if the laser affected any pusher you aim it at instead of only the red one.
First of all, it is a really cool and intresting idea to explore
But i so wish that i could kill every pusher and not only red one (even logically, how can pusher that pushes spikes at me be my friend)
For me game was too hard, actually only rotating platforms, but after one fail i have to restart... Be aware that i haven't complited the game writing this comment
I need some identification that the laser soon will be activated
Nice menu with all that sliding part. Only want buttons to highlight when mouse hovered on them
If i were better at platforming, i would enjoied game more, but even as i am i had some fun
First of all, thank you for your feedback!
Personally I found, that the game would be too short and unchallenging if you had the option to kill every pusher. And the title refers to the laser which can kill You but also is your wincondition.
There is a short gray beam where the laser will be, before it is finally shot, I guess this isn't enough indication.
I didn't prioritized the buttons, so that's my bad there.
But again thank you for your great feedback <3
Impressive !
