Really fun game. The billboard art fits very well together with the 3d environment. The polishment here was extremly high and it was fun to play. I played until wave 33. The audio was also nice and silly and supported the game pretty well. Good job to the team!
Thanks! Glad it was fun :) Lots of waves!
Great job! A very polished and well made game!
Thanks! Great you enjoyed it!
I love this game! It is extremely polished, has amazing visuals, runs surprisingly smoothly in the browser and has some nice sound effects! However, there's still some room for improvements.
Firstly, I believe you went with something like DOOM, right? But not being able to move the camera up or down is kinda annoying in my opinion. Also, I wish the aim (the transparent dot in the center of the screen) was more visible, I find it kinda difficult to aim, and the bullet spread doesn't help with that.
Anyways, you managed to come up with something really good for this jam and I think this game has high chances of winning!
Thankyou! We wanted to keep the scope with up/down as it’s a bit trickier but thanks for the feedback :)
Really appreciate your feedback - we went all oldskool Wolfenstein only allowing the left right camera movement, this helped us time wise to focus more on the other mechanics, and get away with our billboard 2D enemies. We'll gather all feedback from here and see which parts we can improve on. Thanks again for giving our game a play!
Fun game! I made it to round 50 to see if it would break in any way and it's too polished for that. if you're open to some feedback this is a game that could use a drop shadow under the enemies so i can track where they are better. I could also say that the bullet spread was pretty high for the machine gun and somewhat high for the shotgun. I love the art Direction on this game, great stuff.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the game! 50 waves would have been hard, I die too much from 20s lol. Thanks for the feedback!
This was amazing! It's a nice combination of 2D and 3D! It seemed really polished. I had a bit of trouble seeing where I was aiming. 10/10 though!
Thank you so much for your praise! I'll take a note on the aiming indicator, see if we can make it a little more obvious.
The graphics look super clean and charming. It's nice that there were multiple different levels.
The upgrades actually felt impactful, and getting new weapons was cool.
Thank you for testing our game, and for the nice feedback - hopefully we can do even more after this Jam.
This was awsome mate! The music is slick!
Cheers! Thanks for giving our game a play!
Really enjoyed this! Art, audio and theme are great. I thought the controls were easy to pick up. The AI projectile trajectory could be a bit off at times, but I'm sure this could be enhanced if needed. The level of difficulty was just right.
Thank you! I know our devs put a lot of effort into trying to balance the game - more can always be done, but it'll require time. Happy you enjoyed the experience.
Super well done, I loved the art style!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the game and our quirky characters.
I played until level 25! :D
If I understand correctly, the enemy tries to predict my direction to attack. If I'm moving left, it fires further to my left instead of directly at my current position, correct? I had the impression that the shot is going too far to the side, perhaps the adjustment should be smaller or take into account the average movement of the last few seconds instead of just the current movement (although I know that doing this is a little more complicated). I say this because sometimes I would adjust my character to the side and the enemy would shoot towards the wall, and the greater the distance between us, the more visible this difference was.
Another thing is that enemies absorb bullets from other enemies, I think it would be more interesting if this wasn't the case, as it would make the level a little more chaotic and difficult.
Other than that, super creative and fun. I loved the art and the sfx. Congrats!
Thank you so much for your feedback - I'll let the devs answer, concerning the enemy bullet trajectory as I have no clue what they've done! And well done reaching level 25!
The projectile predicts where it hits based on velocity, so if the player is holding moving or stationary the projectile will hit - made them a bit stronger instead of just stationary the location from the AI
OK, finally got around to playing this and it’s great! The only browser performance problem I saw was a stutter when (I think) a particle effect is first used. Otherwise, very smooth gameplay performance. The music, art and juice are fantastic and all very polished. Superb entry!
I was surprised controllers don’t seem to work… still, didn’t affect the fun.
Happy you got around to testing our little game - Thank you!
The stutter is a know issue we'll be trying to address. Concerning using game controllers, we had that up and running at some point, but think we cut back to ensure compatibility on all platforms for the Jam.
I really enjoyed playing. Really liked the 2D and 3D mix. The animations and sound effects were amazing. Great work!
Thanks for playing :)
Enjoyed playing-especially once I got the staple shotgun- and I'm impressed at the art/animations, great work!
The staple shotgun and rubber band gatling gun definitively adds to the experience! Thank you for playing, and the kind words concerning the visuals.
Cool game! i got to round 17, the stapler and rubber band guns are awesome!! would love to see some stationary themed boss battles if this were to continue development!
Thank you for your feedback, and well done making it that far, glad you liked our selection of weapons.
Concerning boss battles, we had planned to have the coffee mug as a boss, but just ran out of time to do it properly.
Very silly little game. I kinda wish I could keep buying upgrades from the shop instead of it running out :( I wanted INFINITE DAMAGE
Me too! Me too.
Just realized I didn't say but I loved it, it was really well made!
Thank you so much!
The web build is unplayable for me, I'm glad I tried the desktop version. Fantastic game, the style, the graphics and the audio is so much fun, nice take on the theme. Very well done, strong contender for the jam.
Thank you for giving our game a second chance by getting the desktop version, and sorry to hear the web build didn't work for you - was this playing full screen? Would you be able to tell us which browser and system you used?
Really happy you enjoyed the experience otherwise.
I was playing on the browser window, the game would not go to full screen, the problem is related to mouse capture, if the game window was focused and the mouse captured, then mouse sensitivity would skyrocket to ludicrous speed :), if the window would lose focus (by pressing escape) then the mouse movement would be somewhat fixed. I also have a multi-screen setup, I don't know if that could contribute to the problem. I'm using Firefox on Linux and KDE Plasma as DE.
Thank you for the feedback, highly appreciated! We'll keep note of it, and see if its something we can fix our end.
I saw your progress video posted throughout the week and I was so excited to finally get to play. The tiki themed stationary is so clever and the art style is great. The weapon ideas were a lot of fun and good use of sticking to the stationary theme. This was a lot of fun to play. I got to round 11 before I accidentally backed up into a lava pit! Great job!
so happy you took your time to play our game and enjoyed it, and sorry to hear you ended up in the lava pit! We had planned to add more weapons, enemies etc. but we had to cut back to focus on the game mechanics.
Funny :-)
The only thing I'd wish is a minimap.
Thanks!
Thought about that but couldn’t fit in the 9 days
Really enjoyed playing this game. It's fun and challenging.
Thank you for trying our game - happy you enjoyed it!
