Use of the limitation
in my game by picking up power-ups and getting upgrades you can become ridiculously overpowered but its not permanent as the game difficulty is still rising

yoooo i love the pop sound its very nice! also the collisions of the enemies are impecable, great job man!
Thanks!
For fairness, I ask you to play the Jam version as it was made in the Jam time span.
thank you - mordekaiserr
Solid foundation for a top-down survival-style auto-shooter. All the core pieces are there, and the simple Unity shape sprites work well for the concept. Zooming the camera out a bit could improve visibility since progression relies on pickups and upgrades. A compass-style arrow at the screen edge pointing toward nearby or important pickups (like the Diamond of Doom) could be a nice addition. And of course, a kick-butt soundtrack to slay to would really seal the deal, lol.
Good job on your first game jam! This is my 2nd (first one was last week) so I commend you :)
Decent prototype for a surviorslike! I think my hi score was 100 and something.
I feel like the camera could be a bit zoomed out, so there's a bit more breathing room.
Similarly, and maybe this is just a preference, but I would have liked it if when the player moves in a direction, the camera leads in the direction they're headed rather than showing more of the screen behind them.
Both of these things would help with the feeling of being overwhelmed by enemies later on. I also think the challenge could ramp up a bit quicker also, and the diamond spawn rate could be increased to make it a bit more action packed. All in all a good start, congrats on getting the game done!!
Neat little autoshooter. I never really got the sense of being overpowered before I got overwhelmed with enemies. Definitely a good foundation here for sure.!
Neat shooter that's super easy to pick up and play. It seems like the collision on the player a bit smaller so that evading enemies is a little easier. If so, I like that. I was hoping to find more upgrades as I played to get a sense of being ridiculously overpowered. However, I felt pretty average while playing. I managed to get like 110 which isn't too bad! Eventually there are so many enemies and it's very difficult to get to a power-up that isn't swarming with them. Overall, solid foundation here which can definitely benefit by having more upgrade opportunities!
yes the hitboxes were intended. Im kidna sad about not having enough time to complete it to perfection and give it some balancing. But im planning on making the game better.
This was a fun little shooter. I think it was lacking a little in the limitation, there was scope there for some real stupidly op upgrades but it definitely still felt like a steady increase. Nice one!
Thank you. In kinda sad that i didnt have enough time to play with the upgrades, but im planning to give the game more work.
Congrats on your first game for itch.io! This handles neatly and using shapes is a great idea to phase into creating a shoot-em-up title; the next step is to play around with sprites and assets that add a little more fidelity. Nice stuff!
Thanks for the feedback! :)
High score was 62! I liked that the shapes collided with each other. Saved me from those fast triangles! Cool game.
Thanks!
