The theme reading is the most literal in the jam and that works in your favour: the enemies are literally deletion bots that erase data, and the goal is to survive deletion. In a jam about games being deleted, making deletion the monster is straight to the point.
Having a TUTORIAL button before Play on the title screen is worth praising too, it was rare here. And the controls are written clearly on the page (A/D to dodge, Space and W to jump on the bots).
Three things, and the third is the blocker. The background hurts a lot: it's a repeating pattern of blue and grey letters and shapes across the whole screen, with high contrast and heavy texture, and the character disappears into it. A much darker, flatter background would fix that instantly and make the game look twice as good. The character sprite is also a rectangle of green, yellow, purple and red blocks with no recognisable shape, so I couldn't tell what it's meant to be.
And the main one: I couldn't move. I clicked Play, the game opened with "coins: 10", but A, D, W and Space did nothing. The character stood still in the centre of the screen the whole time, and I never saw a single deletion bot appear.
The concept is right for the theme. What it needs is the basics: get the input working and change that background.
Thanks for the feedback. And i think i made start a litle bit unclear when you press play and open the screen with background 10 coins and the player there is a black box in which you need to enter the charcter name then there will apear a buttom to start playing
Was a bit slow paced.
Honestly? not alot to say.. You kinda just wait for delete bots to come your way. other than that, you sit there for a solid 30 seconds until you see something else to hop on.
Cool idea! I think the execution could use a bit more polish. The enemies take quite a while to spawn, so sometimes I ended up waiting around and getting free points. Also, enemies that spawn near the top of the screen don't seem reachable, so it felt like there wasn't much I could do in those situations. Still, I like the concept. Nice work! :)
Thank you for feedback.
Interesting game. Are the characters randomly generated?
Player character skin each time are randomly picked from few difrent skins
The idea is interesting, but the implementation is not very good, the gameplay is too long for me, especially in terms of the fact that you have to wait a very long time for more enemies to appear.
Thank you for feedback
It actually speed up during game how fast enemies spawn
Great music. The game could be better if you didn't have to wait for one enemy to pass below before going up with those above.
Thank you for feedback
