I'm so bad at shooter, only made it to the third wave once monster started to spawn behind me
I did want to interact with the slot machine but it was fun.
this was very fun doomlike, smooth controls, responsive movement
enemies damage almost impossible to evade though.
but the afterdeath upgrades were very cool
thanks for playing! we will 100% be making the enemies a bit easier to avoid soon
Very enjoyable arena shooter! Ended up beating it after my first powerup, but wasn’t sure what the powerup was
Hey! Cool game, it's not the only one I've tried with the same concept of getting buffs after enemy waves, but I think it would be cooler if you had stacked effects instead of just 1 per round, at some point the controls randomly decided to invert and change, it felt intentional since even the WASD movement was inverted but I didn't knew why it happened and was very awkward to play. The music was very inmersive but the slow action of the game didn't made justice to it. Maybe making a bigger map and adding faster movement would make the game more addictive and satisfying to play. Keep polishing it, it is a promising project!
Thanks for the feedback! I am not sure why your controls inverted - it's certainly not intentional and I haven't heard it happen for anyone else. Will need to look into it. Yeah we did consider having stacked effects but didnt have enough time for balancing etc. Thanks for playing!
Really fun shooter game! You made really good use of the theme with each death giving a new effect! I also love he pixel art and music :) Well done!
i liked the visuals and the retro feeling of it, also loved the use of the theme in getting new effects for every death, the movements are also great :)
Good game for running around and shooting! Not much introduction or explanation needed which I like. I think having some sort of balance to the skills that can be rolled might help with enjoyability as I found that sometimes when I rolled awful stats I would rather just die and roll again. I liked the DOOM-like red setting and atmosphere a lot!
Really fun game! Loved the overall retro vibe and music. Favourite part was honestly having randomised affects, made things a lot more fun for me. Great job!
tysm for playing!! <3
Very cool retro shooter that has a lot of style. The movement and shooting felt good but is it just me or do the enemies always have pinpoint accuracy? It might just be me.
the enemies are definitely something I'd like to rework, seems to be a common point of feedback. thanks for playing!
It is a really nice doom-like arena shooter. Didn't quite see the jam prompt in your design, but who am I to judge :^) Keep it up yall!
tysm for playing <3
our take on the prompt was having the player faced with the choice of an upgrade/mystery effect for their next run when they die, so that room where u r given two choices is there u r given the "opportunity" :)
This is such a strong entry for a first gamejam! It was giving doom vibes in a good way. Good job!!
thank you so much for the kind feedback!
it’s fun I really like the movement i felt like I was a little over powered which made the game a little less of a challenge but the visuals and everything else is awesome!
I liked the movement, quite fun to jump around at high speed!
I think everything was great except the gameplay. The art, music, theme, and creativity. However, the gameplay can get quickly boring, with how easy it is to abuse the AI at certain points and also how limiting it is to strategize. However, the mechanic on choosing a random effect vs an effect you know is absolutely genius.
Also I hate and like the fact that the enemy bullets are random. It feels great when you dodge one, but also feels hard to even understand when to dodge. I wish the enemies made a little animation before they shoot so I can react better.
For a game jam made in 5 days, you both worked hard and im proud of what you made. I hope you guys improve and make cool stuff later, because I see a lot of potential
:3
tysm for ur feedback, it means a lot! this was our first game jam working together. This feedback is really detailed and useful, thanks again. If we had more time we would definitely incorporate more enemy variation and strengthen the level design so there's more ways to tackle the waves.
will check urs out today too <3

Thanks

thank you for taking the time to write such detailed feedback!
to give some insight about the enemies - the bullets aren't actually random - they generally project your velocity and then add some margin of error! it's definitely something i want to revisit and especially add more "juice" to fighting them (aim effects, death effects)
thank you for your lovely comments otherwise :)
Ah ok, thank you for replying.
I like this something about it with the retro shooter vibe and the catchy tune I died a lot but made it to the end with the longer range skill.
tysm for playing :D
Loved the music & the vibes! Fun, simple game. A bit tricky to get very far unless you get good perks between rounds, as someone not used to playing this type of game.
Play game was so great!!
looks like we both had pretty similar ideas, great minds think alike i guess ;)
i quite like your game, its challenging, the idea of a random effect is nice, and the music fits so well !! u did a good job
tysm!!im so glad u enjoyed our game!! having a look at urs now and i see what u mean about similar ideas ^^
will check urs out shortly <3
thanks so much for trying out our game! i'm glad to hear you enjoyed it
