I've started development about a week ago, the game is going to be a 2D PvE shooter set in a desert environment. I've made all of the pixel art myself, the pictures above are in-game screenshots. What do you think about the general appeal of the visuals so far?

I've made a small prototype over the course of the last days attempting to mimic the experience you get on a rollercoaster or a similar fun fair ride! This is of course really difficult in 2D, but I'd like to know if this is an idea worth continueing. 

You play as a ghost in a haunted mansion, every 30 seconds, a new event starts, which alters the game in just a small way that might mess with your perception. You need to keep moving to avoid touching an enemy following you and your goal is to score as many points as possible by collecting orbs.

Test the prototype here

I'd really appreciate it if you checked it out!

Great! I'll join the Discord and keep an eye on the development

Cool! I think a bit more variation in the overall pacing would be very beneficial, the game so far either gets too overwhelming with the amount of enemies or too boring if you are too strong. Maybe consider spawning the enemies in waves instead of all of them spawning "at once". A volume slider would be good too!

Thanks! What exactly makes the inputs feels restrictive?

Thanks! I'll definitely make some adjustments in the future, I will post some updates in the devlog

The controls were not that intuitive at first, but it was fun to figure out things along the way! I think action remapping would really add to this game. I expected a dark / scary game at first, then I was surprised by the lightheartedness of the game, and then came the ending! Interesting story progressing

I will add a few more mechanics and levels to really finish up this project, thanks for your feedback!

Fun game! It took me a while to find an approach to solve it. I would have liked to see the theme be implemented a bit more, so, you could have made use of the special features of a train. Maybe stopping the train with a brake or having the characters spread out across different wagons. Nice work overall!

Interesting, my first approach would have been selecting a tile with the arrow keys, then hitting another key and then being able to move it into a free space with the arrow keys again.

Yeah, I thought I had to make it a little harder because of the lack of levels. I guess that was a bit too much 😂

Really cool! I think you've found the balance between fun and difficulty. However, once you have upgraded your turrets enough the game gets way too easy, consider adding stronger enemies or larger enemy waves after some time. Additionally, you should practice shading when drawing 2D textures, just to give the game a more polished look.

This was really fun! I think the game has got a lot of potential, some spiced up graphics and better sounds would really polish this. Good job!

Really nice idea! The levels were challenging but still fun. For future game jams, try to keep in my mind that the theme should be a core element of the game. For example, in your game the train was only a side element and game centered around the frog.

Nice way of using Godot's physics as a game mechanic! Maybe there's a way to implement the train theme a little more, and multiple levels would have been cool!

Nice work!

Really interesting idea, maybe you could try to make the rail layout clearer, possibly by placing them a bit further away from each other. Also, you could turn down the specular property of your green floor texture, just to give it a more finished look. A grass texture would have improved the overall graphics too. The controls were straightforward and the game was quite fun!

The game sounds and looks great! The puzzles are all well thought out, but the controls were not really intuitive in my opinion.

Overall the textures looked good, but I feel like the colour scheme could be a bit more appealing. Really nice game!

Really fun game, I don't know if it is because of my monitor size, but the train appears pretty small for me. Very creative idea and awesome sound!
