It looks really nice!
The one way platforms add to the simplicity of the gameplay. But I didn't get what actions trigger each state of the platforms!
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.
The game quickly becomes a bullet hell, couldn't survive for very long (max 6 kills and 1600 points). It is fun to play, although I am very bad at playing it.
There is some delay from the mouse movement and the char, and although it feels smoother to the eye, it makes it much harder since the game relies on precision.
I've submitted it yesterday, but for some reason, It isn't linked.

Nice little game! The artwork is really good!
We also delivered a game for GGJ'21, if you wanna play it ask a friend to play with, make a call and have fun.

Don't mind the bugs.
That was unexpected. Luckily I read the comment below and kept playing until the end.
One thing that almost made me give up on playing till the end was the fact that you never know what to expect from a movement. Some predictability helps the player know what is going on.
Overall great game, I enjoyed playing it.
Cool game, the visuals and sounds are really good.
The only con I noticed is that when you die you can't shoot and more ducks can get nearby. So the chances of getting killed again once you are not invulnerable are much higher.
Maybe while invulnerable you could still shoot or slow the enemies down a bit, idk.
Overall I had fun playing it.
Thank you very much for the feedbacks, I really appreciate it.
When hitting the spikes the should be invulnerable for 3 seconds, then that is a bug. I couldn't fix some of the issues in time, and spent the whole day trying to fix the spawn inside walls issue without success.
So I will just leave it for now, and will try fix it after the game jam rating ends.
The art is specially good! The background music fits well the game.
But as you play, you never know what will happen, so it's frustrating not knowing exactly what you did wrong. IMO It would be far better if there were more player feedback on what can happen on each step.
Not sure how this should be done tbh, but for example, you don't have any hint that the bear will eat you, or that the floor will crack when you step on it.
But it's nicely done considering you made it in 3 days!
Hey Augustin, thanks for the feedback.
The idea behind the teleport was not gettimg stuck on a dying/respawn loop. I didn't had time to make it properly.
Idk why the wall issue happens since i am verifying if there is anything in the spawn point before spawning it.
I will try to fix it later.
Thanks again.
This thread was created for an already finished game jam. You probably are looking for Begginers Circle #4 or something. https://itch.io/jam/beginners-circle-jam-4/community
Hi Marcelo, thanks for the feedbacks! It is nice to hear it from a fellow brazilian game dev pro.
As you can see no one besides myself play tested the game. I used rigidbody drag, so I could use velocity to end the turn and also to make the gravity field feel stronger.
Of course it is not meant to be like the "real" thing (what is real, maybe it is all a simulation, right?), but I didn't thought about how this would affect the gameplay, jsut like many other things.
I set the scale of the gravity fields to be always twice the radius of the planet for the sake of simplicity, but maybe making it non-linear would feel better.
I am not sure if I will keep updating this game after the GJ, but I will take your feedbacks for the next ones!
Thanks for playing!
You get a momentum from your speed and mass, so in order to stop for example you need a force of the same intensity in the opposite direction. I don't made it clear in the game.
I noticed from vlad's video that the asteroid is so tiny on the screen in some levels. Of course I knew where they were from the start, so I didn't noticed that was a problem. But yeah it lacks a visual aid to locate it.
