Is there any way to make sure you and the squad members are on the same team? Sometimes I have to exit and rejoin rounds tons of times before me and my friends can get the same team.
We're sorry you had issues with lag, we'll work on making a download version or reducing lag if we ever make a post-jam patch. However, we spent most of our time getting the pixel-perfect to work in web version so sadly had no time to see if a windows or mac version would work.
This has a huge classic arcade look and feel, and it's pretty fun! I think the hitboxes could do with some work though; playing as the big chonky ship was weird because I had no idea where my hitbox was meant to be. The enemies were pretty neat, though there could be a bit more variety(however this is a jam and you've crammed a ton in already!), and I think the sound effects were pretty well done.
trying to open the game seems to murder my mac and makes me have to force quit, I've tried about 3 times and each time it lags to the point where I can't open a new tab.
The core gameplay is very fun, but reloading seems to be inconsistent like others have stated, and I think the game could do with more "juice" as killing enemies just isn't that satisfying, and you get very little feedback from taking damage. Weapons feel a bit unbalanced as well, and the shotgun seems to not fire as a shotgun would and works more like a pistol.The audio sounds pretty bad, and is way too loud: the AK-47 sounds very weird as well, and some weapons were incredibly loud. The visuals were neat, and the theme was fine.
Really? for me, Archer is the strongest. You can get 100% pierce chance easily, and then after that, getting extra arrows and extra damage lets you get a 5-shot that kills anything that isn't one of the really big enemies. Thank you for playing the game, and for the feedback!
A classic bullet-hell boss fight game! I like the theme though the description was slightly confusing.
This game definitely nails the "fun" part, all of the bosses were very hard without being too hard, and the whole game was just the right balance. I do think a big thing that subtracted from it was the fact that you have to constantly be rapidly clicking to deal damage and kill the boss before time runs out. Although the game is really fun, it COULD do with a bit more juice/polish
As for audio, well this game has none, so I can't really talk about it. The visuals are incredibly creative and look great, so congrats on that! They might not be the flashiest, but they're very consistent, which is important. I think on the aesthetics aspect, the game could do with a tad more polish, and by that I mean audio.
For theme, this goes for a more "boring" approach with a limit on time, but I think it still works well and fits.
To summarise, very very fun game, cool theme, neat art, but suffers from lack of audio and needs the ability to fire by holding down.
I have to admit i was not able to beat most of this because I'm using a trackpad, and will come back to it later once I can use the PC, but here's my thoughts:
Mouse sensitivity felt very high(because i was using a trackpad), and it felt incredibly hard to aim because I was unsure what was happening, but again, probably trackpad moment. The visuals were hands-down the best i've seen this jam so far, and the audio was incredible as well. Very juiced up game as well, and it has tons of polish, but a very big flaw which I will get to later. I don't think it implements the theme particularly well, but that's more optional anyways. And as for the big flaw?
This game is incredibly creative, and I think what it scores highest on for me is the theme and the way it implements it. And as a slight biology nerd, I have to say the idea of fighting bacteria is pretty awesome as well. However, I think it has some flaws.
The audio is.. Not the best, though the music seems to be made from in-game sounds or the like, and it sounds incredible. However, the sound of the bullets firing felt a bit shrill and hurt my ears slightly. I think it might need to be toned down slightly.
As for the "fun" aspect of the game, this nails it pretty well! Getting that basic gameplay loop of dodging and weaving as well as nailing a far-off enemy is really satisfying. I think the gameplay could do with some more polish and juice, though. For example, killing an enemy is not as satisfying as it could be, with just a dull thud and the said enemy vanishing. Perhaps you could add some screenshake and some particle effects to make the enemies be funner to kill? Furthermore, you could also add some particle effects and screenshake on death as well. However, the game is still very fun and interesting.
As for the visuals, I think they struggle from lack of consistency. For example, the text is in a completely different style to the game's pixelated art style, and the amount of pixelation seems to vary quite a bit. However, the pixel art itself is pretty good! For the sides of the game, I would recommend adding some sort of texture to them to help them be more visually interesting.
To summarise, this game has an incredible concept and nails the theme head-on, but struggles in some of the other areas and may need some more polish and juice. However, it's still a great game, and don't let my criticism pull you down!
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback and for commenting on this game. Next time, we'll try to add clearer indicators on UI(the bar on the edges was xp, but I can see how that could be unclear). Good luck on the jam!
Fun game, there's a bug where with bullet canister you can continue shooting even when your ammo's out with full auto weapons, and you shoot a full shot with the shotgun even at 1 or 0 ammo.
I did swords, AK stock, minigun barrel, full auto trigger, rubber grip, and all the other firerate stuff plus bullet canister.
Hey! I'm looking for a sound designer/composer for my team right now and would be happy to have you! My discord username's Pogpigeonfrog#5296, send me a friend request!
oh wow who would've guessed that a game made on a simple browser that focuses primarily on message and enviromental storytelling by letting some small pixels go a long way would NOT have swordfighting and titty mages
technically, mathswise you'll lose less mana from using intuition by not spinning, but since the revolver spins per shot, you'll slowly get closer to the actual bullet.
Beat it on my second try. Great game! It almost seemed like the creepy guy was slipping up as he started losing, and started making more mistakes. Was that intentional, or just me being lucky 😂😂
