The movement feels really cool! I just think it’s a shame the game doesn’t make the most of it. I might not have gotten far enough into the game, so this feature may already be there, but I think having shots come from different directions, like from the sides, above, or below, would make better use of the movement system.

Great game, simple but done really well! Though there were times where I could kinda just sit in the middle and not get hit. Maybe include bullets coming from the top or bottom of the screen as well? To keep you on your toes! : P

Developer

Developer

Simple idea well executed.

However, feels like most of the time I’m just staying in one place waiting.

Maybe there should be a mechanic like pick-ups that reduce the count down, to motivate the player to maneuver more?

Developer

is can be a cool idea i like it and thx for feedback and im happy you enjoy it ! (✿◕‿◕✿)

i just joined itch.io juste 2weeks ago i dindt even see there is a game jam until i see something name GMTK Game jam i said in head why not to try i wanna to be in a team but i got rejected 8 time  (ノへ ̄、) but its okay i  understand people will not choose someone never do a game jam in his life

Submitted(+1)

Oh that's sad.

But you still made a really good game. If you don't mind, could you give me a brief summary on your thought process and how you did stuff so I can do better on the next jam (my idea was decent but I couldn't put everything in time)

Developer

i wouldnt lie i was thinking alots for a good idea more then 10+ ideas until the 3rd day i started the game play and in day one and 2 i was just drawing ranks and movement and credit and i was getting help with my uncle  like some advices in the game jam bc he is working actually in a big studio video game  in the start i make steps like to know what to do but i just take time to think about the game play to be good like my uncle says :

"Remember gameplay is king, if game is fun people will play"


i finish the game before 15 to 10 hours i just dididnt understand i need to submit it to the game jam  i just in last 5 min i check and i undersrand i didndt SUBMIT I Was  stressed 

Submitted(+1)

Woah XD. Thats amazing. I never thought of gameplay that way.

I also took the entire first day brainstorming and had like 14-ish ideas.

I mixwd two at the end for my final idea but I think scope creep got the better of me (Originally the idea was like a an arcade tower and you had to lose games to go from the top all the way down to level 0 (The leveling system wasnt logical) then I switched to a leaderboard style (each of the 5 games has a leaderboard and you have to get to the bottom)). I didn't have enough time making all the 5 games nor did I have the time to polish the 2 that went.

Thanks for sharing your experience. 

Developer

i think if the game was publish and have no problem  i think really u will have more ratings then me  i like the game idea and the core loop i understand   the only think i think if u dindt switch i think u try to solve problem even if its take time i will not lie is take all day to make a ranking system and its np to share my experience :D

way too tedius to get to the next level...

Developer (1 edit)

is normal bc normally people says to make it 60 some says 10 or even 5 or 20 i just the middle of it like 30sec like other saids  (like my friend says u need to amplified the timer and other people on comment says is need to be small timer like 20 idk but did u enjoye the game ? and what rank u are ? Ty for ur feedback  i like the honest people say what in inside of his mind is helping me to make better games 

Submitted(+1)

Nice one. I really like the artstyle, it's like pixelated 3d (like psx/ps1), but in 2d! Great job my man🔥 

Developer(+1)

ty for ur feedback im happy u enjoyed 🥹\(@^0^@)/

Submitted(+1)

Hey, fun game! I really like the movement of the white ball with a nicely balanced acceleration. I also like the artwork and the gameplay. Well done for this entry!

Developer (1 edit)

Thx 🥹for your feedback and im glad you like my game im triying at least to be having like 100 rating but is will be hard bc is my first game jam 

Submitted(+1)

Nice game!

Developer

TY :D

Submitted(+1)

I like the movement smoothment, getting reset to rank noob is quite harsh for me but thats probably because my reflexes arent that great lol. done nicely anyway!

Developer(+1)

i will not lie i wanna to make it competitive game like with a leaderboard and timer how many your survive and thx for your feedback and im cheerful you enjoyed my game !

Submitted(+1)

nice game and smooth movement!

Developer

thx tho and ty  for your feedback im cheerful u enjoyed my game  ! /ᐠ。ꞈ。ᐟ\

Submitted(+1)

So pretty and well excecuted ! The white ball move was akward as first, but then great to manipulate. Loved the fact that we can go outside the screen for a while

Developer(+1)

TY for ur feedback and im joyful u enjoyed the game normally i want to make it strategical like to go outside and when its spawn alots of bullet to dodge them like but i dindt add a rank with alots spawn rate (✿◕‿◕✿)

Submitted(+1)

ok. i say at first i played "normal". but then come the red bullets and im too old for them XD its more luck for me if i can dodge them. then i used the screen leaving tactic....AND then i used it even more...say i afk on the button screen and was not visible but without the counter counting ^^ 
then  i waited and waited....got to PRO...and then i sipped on my Coffee  and there it comes....somethign brown across the screen direct at me XD....got me
i dont know if this is intended or just bad luck...that made me smile ^^

Developer

the brown is normaly is lock on you is intended  i know people will stay afk no move i add this to supprise them XD  there is 4 types u dindt explore i think  im cheerful u enjoyedmy game and thx for feeedback 

Submitted(+1)


Farthest I could go, also what's special about purple bullet?

Developer (1 edit)

idk is just a mini bullet i dont have inspiration but normally i want it to be like a boucy bullet like its bouce 3 time then go outside of camera but i dindt do it  and i think u didnt see the last bullet and the other cyan  bullet i think i cant leak  u can discorver by yourself and im glad u enjoyed my game o(*≧▽≦)ツ and i think SS is good i never seen someone goes far then (rank) "Universe" (rank)

Submitted(+1)

Simple and addictive game with nice music. Really cool

Developer

im happy u enjoy it :D

Submitted(+1)

Fun stuff!  I was liking the dodging and the countdown is a clever way of getting the player back to the screen.  Nice cover art gif and nice colors in general.  I think each rank up could perhaps come a bit faster?  Pretty fun game though and quite nice to look at, well done!

Developer(+1)

ty for your feed back and i will not lie normally like i said for tother there some people says is need to be more 30+ and some people need to be more  like 10sec i just choose the middle of the more  but i think i will make it like small timer like 20sec  and im glad u enjoyed my game 👍o((>ω< ))o

Submitted(+1)

That makes sense it can be hard to parse when you get feedback in both directions.  20 seconds sounds good, follow your instincts.

Developer

if u so (❁´◡`❁)

Developer

Developer
