Wanna see more mechanics in the game! But cool concept keeping tree alive
nice game! the graphic style is really cool, i like this pixel art. the mmechanics are simply but enjoyable and fun. it is a really cute game. nice work!!
if you want you can rate my game, i rated your's :)
It's a good start for a game. Maybe adding some upgrade progression adn enemy variety would make the game less repetitive.
It's fun to play. I like once the magic attack gets upgraded to do the chain attack. If you keep working on it, definitely adding more cool power ups will make a big impact.
A simple concept, but well executed! I like the way the projectiles target/ricochet between enemies.
Even as an unfinished game, this is still a cool game. I love how the projectiles ricochet between the enemies. And the artwork was cute.
Sweat simple game. Wish there could be more enemy types from the progression! Great work!
Good core, what is there is a bit easy for now but the vision is definitely there. Something to force you away from the tree for longer and tougher enemies alone would be huge
i debated over that, but i still chose auto aim just cause the similar game has the same shooting system. also if you had the option to shoot manually, people just could've waited at the tree for enemies to come closer and shoot, making it possible to clear without moving but ik this is not a good way to make people move. but considering if i add more stuff to the game, that would incentivise people to move better and i would be able to have both manual and auto shoot modes
Fun twist on the survivor-like where you have to come back to the center every time.
Was a bit too easy tho...
This game has a ton of potential! I really enjoy bullet-heaven games with objectives since it forces you to stay still, and this has good potential with that! I think that the objective should require you to deposit orbs instead of just standing near it, as currently you can idle near it infinitely, but I'm excited to see if you work on this more!
Kewl little game buddo! Even for an unfinished project, the mechanics that exist currently do jive and complement each other creating a balance and progression too!
As mentioned by others, the homing bullets are quite a neat touch! Great work!
Nice ambience. However, the game is a bit repetitive. It would be nice if you could choose the upgrades for your attack instead of automatically upgrading it. Also, maybe there should be enemies which also add difficulty by hurting the player. Overall a nice working little game.
