How does the game fit the theme?
You have to enter further into the level to get more resources and get closer to the finish point but harder enemies spawn and to not lose in the process you have to retreat and buy upgrades. The deeper you go the harder it is to get back!
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
everything was made by us
How many people worked on the game?2

really digged the visuals, and how you incorporated the infinite level depth, really cool! My only nitpick is that its super jarring when switching "depths" and i would take damage.
Interesting little idea.
Keep up the good work!
Innovative idea, great execution and polish.
Definitely a unique experience and great in both innovation and execution! It's a challenge while also feeling fair and I had fun playing it! Well done!
Such an innovative concept!! I absolutely love the stylization of the art, was this made 3D or 2D? Amazing work :D
Pretty fun concept and execution! The transition between levels of web can be a bit disorienting. Though I appreciate the moment of invulnerability afterward. I also noticed a handful of times when I dashed through a bug but it hurt me anyway. I love the simplicity of the controls (though the dash could be more immediate and I don't love how the bite makes you stop) and I like the upgrades. Can definitely see this being expanded and having many more upgrades and maybe even expanding your safe area, etc. Very cool overall!
I spent way longer playing this than I expected ^_^ very addictive once I understood about the upgrades, and the intention wasn't to go all the way to the end in just one go. Love the visuals, the way things get smaller in the centre, suggesting we are spiralling downwards. Brilliant work!
Thank you so much for the kind words!! Given the amazing game you've made this means a lot :)
Thank you. I honestly had a lot of fun :) Best of luck and hope many more peeps get to play it!
This is a fun and unique game. I like the visuals a lot. The gameplay was very unique but it’s a bit annoying when enemy suddenly spawn on you.
This was really unique! The linear path is an interesting concept and the way you progress down the spiral reminds me of some older arcade games. The transition between levels was a bit confusing and caused me to get hit but I was able to work around it by being careful about when I progressed towards the center. The visuals were really nice and reminded me of old vector monitors!
Fun game!
I was feeling a bit under powered for a bit in the beginning, but then garlic mode hit and everything started to pop off. At that point, it felt pretty good to cruise through on alternating dash + super dash while fumigating the other buggies on neighboring threads.
PS: That's the slimmest submission time I've seen yet! I pushed up to about 7 minutes and even then I was pondering how viscerally I would have to scream if I didn't get the damn build accepted in time. Glad you were able to make it!
A good and interesting use of the theme. The art style is simple but work really well for this game, To improve I would have it so the player goes down a level once they reach the centre and have a level counter on screen.
Thank you!
There is a level counter on the screen. It's in the center middle behind the web. Maybe it's a little hidden but we didn't want for the screen to be too cluttered.
I see it now, I think the issue is the background webs made me assume there was nothing behind them
wonderful stye and fun gameplay, changing levels makes my head dizzy, audio was missing for me not sure if this was a me problem. keep up the good work!
You're the first person that had this audio problem! Please can you check your tab is unmuted and the volumen intensity of your browser on your OS audio settings? If the problem is not on your end please send us what browser you are using and your OS so we can fix it.
Really glad you enjoyed it! Thank you :)
okey it was a me problem, adding to my comment, nice sfx and ost as well!
Like other people are saying, I think the game is very unique. It's sort of 1D+ which is super rare. It made me think of the arcade classic Tempest a little. I'm proud to say: I reached the biscuit! Great work!
The gameplay is very unique and creative. It's one of the best games out there. Keep it up.
Hella unique game, one of the more interesting games in this jam.
Loved the visuals, love the gameplay. Nice job!
top game i played so far.
very fun and unique and cool
loved the mechanics played it to the end got all upgrades and hardly made it to level 15
first i did not know shop will update and almost quit it when i got everything in shop
but when i got every upgrade it became a cooldown management game
too bad shop did not update at some i had like 500$, i thought it would go to a highscore or something
but anyway this was an amasing game with just the right amount of challenge
Sounds like you bought every item!! Those were the ones we had time to implement, i believe there are 8 or 9 right now. Thank you so much for playing our game! We are glad you enjoyed it! :D
Really interesting game love the art and animations especially, although I wan't able to get the the center haha not sure it it's a skill issue
One of the most unique games I've seen this jam
Pretty unique game haha.
I confess the visuals gave me too much of a headache that I feel like couldn't play too much. I think the visuals of the enemies could be made more distinct to help players orient better inside the web.
Such a trippy experience. Really well paced. and fun to play. Good job!
