Niceeeeee, I survived for 2 minutes and I won, got a score of 13650
The visuals are AWESOME, and the sfx is pretty good!
I love how the shield mechanic works, and how you can activate it for a second when you are about to get hit heavily by some missiles, and then turn it off to save some energy. 🔥(Took me a bit to figure that strat, but yeah)
But definitely try to make the game more optimized so it doesn't freeze at the start.
FIREEEEE GAME, LOVED IT!
Thanks for playing~ Yea, I couldn't reasonably optimize it any further because of time. Also... it's a web build problem :/ But thanks for your feedback and time!
ts fire, i personally would be happy to see like some sort of upgrade menu or roguelike/lite mehcanics cus the gameplay already looks promising and i feel like itll take a good while for me to get bored of the gameplay loop. also took me a second to realise what M2 does so maybe like add a small hint towards it or idk. besides that pretty cool game i love it
Thanks for playing~ Uh... do you mean M2 as in "right click"?
It took a little to understand the gameplay but when I got it, it was fun! Not sure if flying around makes a difference or not though.
Thanks for playing~ Movement was more for getting to locations to destroy stuff but I scrapped the features. Not enough time. So, the movement was just left there in the game. Thanks again for your time~
this is a really cool game, i loved how it looked, i loved the main menu even more. but i do feel like the move speed is too low, at the start i felt like i wasnt moving due to how slow i was. and its also very hard to live for a long time due to there being no upgrades. other than that, great game, enjoyed it a lot. good job!
Thanks for playing and feedback~ yea, movement was the general complaint. Gonna try to address that in future dev-ing. Thanks again for your time!
The game is genuinely very good! i loved the ui a lot, the controls were a bit tricky to figure out but with time i got the knack for them. i feel like with a lil bit of polish i feel like this would be a very successful commercial project! cheers mate. If you have some free time on your hands feel free to check out my submission as well and give me some honest feedback /jam/brainless-game-jam/rate/4775182 cheers!
Thanks for playing, buddy~ I am indeed polishing it for a commercial release now! And sure, I'll check out your entry tonight~
The vfx look really good so nice job!! And i like the design of Anferth? Dont know if thats the name of base you control, but somewhat reminds me of something from Evangelion.
Keep up the good work :)
Thanks for your time~ Yea, that's the mothership's name.
Web build doesn't run on my PC, would be nice to have a Windows build available.
Does it totally not start or does it stutter too much? What browser and cpu/ gpu are you using?
It's super laggy, frozen most of the time. I use Firefox, some old i5 and a GTX 1050 Ti.
I see, most likely it's firefox. If you like, you can try it on Google Chrome. So far, no problems after 1st load.
A little laggy, but cool game!
Thanks for playing~ Yea, it's a web build problem :(
Same in my game!
I think the presentation of the game is great; like the UI is super cool and also visually its pretty clear what's going on. I also like how you can lock onto enemies with right click and completely melt them with left click. The shield mechanic is also pretty good although I couldn't figure out how to move (wasd didn't really do much) At some point it feels a bit impossible to survive because of the sheer amount of enemies on screen, not sure if I was meant to dodge them or something. Couldn't figure out what q did either. But hey it was pretty fun and I hope you continue working on it.
- After targeting with right click, press Q
- WASD works but it takes some time to build up. Gotta hold them down longer. I made a mistake removing the visual part that indicates the movement is starting so it looks like they don't do anything.
But thanks for your time and feedback! And yea, I'll be working on the full build!
Now this is super impressive, the missile effects are crazy, the UI design beautiful, and it's rather hard considering movement is slow and linked to energy but man this is so cool! all i wish is to see how far you go with this :)
Thanks for playing~ Yeah, I had to wrestle with how to balance such a beast and yet make it not too easy for the player to just "do that one thing to win"
so much polish and the game play is fun , ITS PEAK
Thanks Kod~
This game is generally SO GOOD. The gameplay loop is very challenging, but in such a way that you slowly discover more each time. I think there's genuine potential for an amazing full game release if you give the ability to scroll out far, maybe have the camera follow the mouse slightly for long distance combat, maybe give some ui upgrades to see the enemies more effectively. I had a lot of fun slaughtering the little planes and desperately trying to stay alive.
Good news: i'll be developing this fully because... i like it HAHAHHA. Glad you found a lot of fun blasting down stuff. Thanks for playing!
Woah this game is Juiced !
The heavy movement really compliments the heavines of the Mothership, visuals are top notch, gamefeel is well crafted.
This get's a 5/5 in gameplay at least. Great job!
Oh dang, perfect score! Thanks~ Yea, I really gave it my all for this one. A bit disappointed i had to cut out some stuff because i couldnt get them done in time, but thanks a lot for your time and feedback!
Amazing game, I loved the presentation, the juice, the feedback is great. Its a bit short and somewhat difficult to get the hang of at first, a tutorial would be helpful (well its a jam game lol, who has the time for that 😭).
It's really satisfying, who doesn't like blowing up small things.
Other than one unexpected crash on dying, I had no issues, other than some lag, but that is a given in most web games.
Yea, i reaaaaally dislike building for web. I had to off the lights in the main menu otherwise the game would freeze. But thanks for your time and feedback!
This game is so cool. I like the artstyle you was going for but I cant move no matter what I do. I even tried to refresh the page but I coulnt stilll move. The music is good too
Thanks for playing~ The movement happens when you hold down the WASD longer. There's a slow buildup to give it a "heavy" feeling. But this is entirely my error: removed the visual that indicates the movement is starting.
the game is slightly laggy (probably my device's fault) but other than that its a really good game and i love the low poly-ish art
No, I'm pretty sure it's a web game issue XD. It happens on my friend's high-end computer as well. Thanks for playing, and thanks for the kind words~
I really like this game, it can get pretty hard but the music fits perfectly. Overall the game is great!
Thanks for the encouragement~
Heaviness is on point and the whole thing made me feel powerful! Sure, it might benefit from some instructions on controls and stuff but still
Yeah, I underestimated how long I'd take for the ui and some other things that kept me from working more XD. Had to scrap a bunch of features and the tutorial, but it is what it is~ Thanks for playing!
