There was no penalty when you missed a shot, so the ultimate strategy is just clicking at random to get a few extra seconds. Also, time was too short...
Nice idea, very brave of you to do a text based adventure!
My only complaint is that it feels more like a "click this and then click this", because whenever I made a wrong choice, I had to restart from the beginning. Sometimes choices are count as incorrect even if they're tame (such as "Let Mercer talk" results in a game over). I feel that you could've expanded more on those sub-choices, rather than making only one "correct flow"
That said, I liked the vibe you were going for. Congrats on the submission! :)
Classic bullet hell, I love them! My main complaint is that even chapter 1 is difficult, as in "you can lose in 5 hits, and the boss itself is a bullet sponge". Lowering the health of the enemies (or increasing the damage you deal) would make it lovely to play and replay :)
Very nice! Reminds me of the games I played from the cereal boxes :)
My only complaint is that the big map is too dispersive. I'd prefer playing a smaller, circular map with random civilians/enemies appearing at each drop off. It would make for an amazing relaxing AND frenetic game! :)
Congrats on the submission, visuals are absolutely stunning!
Pretty fun idea! I wish it used keyboard controls instead, or a more generous clicking window. Like this, it's more like an aim trainer, to make precise mouse movements.
Anyway, congrats on the submission! It was sweet :)
The concept of chaos around you is very nice! Even though it's overwhelming and unpredictable, which makes it hard to play (and unfortunately turns it into a ragdoll simulator)
Quitting every time you die is a bit punishing, as you said in the readme file, which makes the game take one minute before "the good part" comes up. I wish the game's pace was a bit faster.
Regardless, it was fun playing it! Congrats on the submission :)
I wish that animations were faster, because often it's just waiting for an animation to play. Other than that, it was a great game, especially given the limited time you had! Congrats on the submission, it was very fun to play :)
However, I couldn't finish the game. I couldn't manage to skip the cutscenes when I rewatched them... For future reference, give players the option to skip them, if the game is about running fast! :)
It's the first time I saw a "choose your adventure" story as a submission, it was a surprise!
Unfortunately it's not a videogame... Perhaps for future projects you can try Ren'py! It's a simple visual novel editor, I think it would make it more interactive :)
The only thing is that I didn't understand when I was hitting enemies, when they were dodging or when I was hit, so it felt more like I was fighting a timer. It may be more satisfying by adding a swoosh effect when you/enemies attack!
Nice take on the theme, and congrats on the submission :)
Hey, I'd love to join you! I'm an European college student, studying Informatics Engineering. If you're interested in working with me, lemme know how we can talk :)
Fun concept! Too bad my right click button is broken... Oh well, I'll save it and play it after the jam ends. Know that you did a wonderful job with this submission, and the amount of attention can be seen just by playing a couple of levels. I loved the unique idea!
Thank you for your kind words! I tried to make the game accessible, so I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it even though it was (sort of) a platformer. Thank you once again! :)
