  • Aesthetics are incredible, love the use of the theme. Incredibly replayable, challenging game with an addictive gameplay loop. Sound design was very pleasant as well

How does your submission fit the jam's theme?
The game is inspired by the scanlines and beams used by old CRT TVs.

Really incredible game with a lot of polish! The presentation is amazing, and not only are the aesthetics really beautiful, but they also help to incorporate the theme nicely into the gameplay with the scanlines. The gameplay loop is also really addicting and a ton of fun, especially with the variety of playable birds and weapons. Awesome work!

Theming is fantastic, the slow zoom out from the CRT right at the start is really cool

Cool concept, love a survivor-style game and visually looks really nice

This game was awesome! I really like survivor games, and I definitely think you have something great here you could polish up into a proper full game. The way you used the theme was really cool, the graphics look awesome, and I do think it's interesting to have the goal be preventing them from reaching the side of the screen like old defense games used to do but you can also distract enemies to have them follow you. If you add some more variety of weapons and passives, I bet you could definitely release this and people would dig it. Endless option after the boss would be really cool too, maybe looping around each 5 minutes with increasing enemy multipliers?

Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it! We very well may continue on this, but no promises yet!

I dont know why, my teammate was able to play this game perfectly fine, but on my machine it instantly crashes on the main menu :(

Strange... we've had a few people test on multiple machines and none of them had any issues. If you're at all interested, the game logs are at "%appdata%\LocalLow\Road Turtle Games\Scanline Survivors\Player.log". You can send them to support@roadturtlegames.com and we can take a look.

Turns out d3d12 was crashing on my machine for some reason? I don't recall having issues with it before so i'm not sure what was up, but I made a shortcut to your game and added -force-d3d11 to the target line and it doesn't crash for me now, so i'll play it and give a rating soon!
