I suggest to add a brief tutorial for shooting
I felt I was playing an NES game. Great job, I'll come back to this one
Thanks! Highest honour honestly, I do hope to update this once the jam is entirely over and make it a slightly longerr more varied experienc
Love the art style!
I liked how you could block the enemy projectiles with your own bullets, and the space theme clicked very well with me.
Until halfway through the game i found out how to switch weapons. Maybe to avoid confusion, you could add text for how to switch guns? Also tiny nitpick, I noticed that when i pressed 1 for example, the gun in the middle of the ui was selected instead.
Anyway great game!
rated!
Really nice style and I loved the arcade feel of the visuals + audio! Overall a really nice constructed classic game style.
I loved the variations---in the enemies and the player's weapons. In addition, the map is really well built and has a lot of well constructed rooms.
One small suggestion is to probably change where the player starts at---because if I keep going right, I get to the final room much faster than original. However, it is still nice since both ways provided a decent challenge. I ended up beating the game and went back for another run to go the upper way haha.
Great job!
Thank you so much! The final room is definately too easy to get to, if I had more time I would've liked to have added some more meandering before the player got there
(Big fan of your game btw, gave it a rating!)
No way to switch weapons :(
1, 2, 3 keys should work! shout if they don't as there may be a bug related to different kinds of keyboard
It was ok... although there were no options but to die if you run out of ammo :')
Really cool concept, Loved the retro arcade game feel. Good variety of enemies and weapons too! Great job! Only issue I had is that game didn't fullscreen properly and instead took up only the top left quarter of my screen.
