The gameplay loop is fun and the upgrades are cool, but the thing that really gets me here is the level of polish. In particular, the dynamic pan-and-zoom during combat is really well done; it really makes things feel like there's an intelligent person manning the camera and keeping the action in frame. The controls are great, too, and combat feels really nice. Not much else to say, just a great game all-around. Awesome work!
This was really fun, great working finishing on the sharp time limit!
This is amazing! Feels great, gameloop is really good and really polished!
The plane controls feel really good, especially dodging the bullets and missiles at the last second. The art looks so good and I love the retro arcadey feel you have going on. Never stop making games!
Not planning to stop so far. This game really was an exercise in making stuff with very limited dev time, so I'm glad it doesn't show that much.
AHA i was waiting for the incremental aspect and it delivered. camera movement on this feels great especially the zooms when engaging in combat. very nice!!
Glad you enjoyed it. I didn't have much time to work on it during the week, so I was hoping that I can make up for it by just focusing on my speciality which is game design. Thankfully seems to be working so far :P
I really like how you feel spinng and dodging
Nice work
Really cool game ! Just need a music in the background, like the Top Gun video game on gamecube :
i loved it when i was kidGood mechanic, good polish, nicely done!
This feels really polished! Some background music would have been nice at the start though. I didn't have the skills to win, but I had fun trying!
The animations and art are incredibly good! very satisfying doing last-second turn arounds and boosting into an enemy.
Reminds me of an old mobile or web game i used to play.
I love this game, saw it on Discord during the jam and was itching (heh) to play it. Love the art, the gameplay, the challenge. The repair seems weird, I feel bad using repair when it does full health while I could "repair" myself through help-upgrade which would make the repair instead of upgrade way more worthy later. "spin to win" is definitely delivered here, some music would be cool maybe, but that can be a design decision as well of course. Great submission!
Ok I see that Luftrausers had a similar impact on you as it did on me. I loved that game and frankly I think I am going to reinstall it now after playing this. Obviously comparing the two is a little unfair, I think they had a little longer than 7 days to craft that game. In fact, gimme a second, I'm gonna play a round of Luftrausers right now and then get right back to you. Please hold.
Okay. Yeah. Still rad. My skills have atrophied though, yikes. The two games are more different than memory might suggest, different controls and upgrade systems entirely. However, if I were to suggest you borrow one thing wholesale from Vlambeer's design, if you allowed the ship to auto-repair itself when the player wasn't firing the weapon, that would take a lot of edge off the difficulty and offer a push-and-pull in gameplay, attack vs. evade.
This was super fun and I'm stoked about it. Let me know if you're developing it further, I'll gladly show up for playtests at the very least.
Yeah in actuality I never in my life played Luftrausers, the first time I've heard about it was when I started sharing progress pics in the discord chat, after that I only looked at screenshots, so I haven't really been taking inspiration from it.
Loved the art and solid gameplay !!!!!
Seriously solid game. Controls are tight, combat is satisfying, gameplay is challenging, and progression works very well. I found myself trying multiple times to beat it! Would be a solid arcade game. I just wish there was some music! But the audio that was there worked well.
Well done!
This is a really fun game. I was amazing to control and the visuals are great, hit audit and feedback are great. Looking forward to play more of it <3
Really good art! Good work!
Pretty fun, with heavy Luftrausers vibes
Definitely appreciated the execution even if it isn't my usual type of game to enjoy!! Well done - a solid submission.
Ok, idk if im biased cuz i do like vampire survival likes. But it was def different here, the movement? OHH I LOVE THAT.. The maneuvers we can pull off? The dogfights? I FUCKIN LOVE THAT
Its sooo cool when you go head on against a missile/ another plane and go through the smoke lmao
Or when you let them follow you and dash to make a tight turn and kill them from above.. Oh its great!
I did play a testing build which didnt have the missiles and the timer and it was fun aswell.. but it was just that, kinda fun but too easy.. you could just fly straight and never face anything lol
AND THAT IS WHY i LOVE the missiles SO much! They are such a simple addition but fix the whole problem instantly!
I also noticed the enemy ai change lol, they def werent as aggressive before
I can mostly easily think how most people would come to their game ideas based on the theme, but i acutally find this really creative and a unique way to incorporate it!
For audio, I loved the 8 bit sfx, but wish there was more for the planes aswell.. Ig maybe they couldve been too much or smthin but still :P
For the visuals, ofc they are really simple but they are Still very effective at getting everything across and do their parts perfectly and it looks beautiful!
Tho i do have 1 suggestion :var:
Ik its intentional and kinda not there for a reason.. But i wish there was ground lmao.. Like you can dive straight down and pull back with help of some upgrades and maybe get a few kills or just die yourself ig.. Idk but i kinda wish it was a thing
Anyways, great entry as always. I saw the game got nerfed smh, wish i could try before nerf
This my high score for now :var:
This is just Luftrausers
