Love the idea of using time as a resource. Would be awesome to see the ideas of the game expanded upon :)

Developer

Thanks so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the core idea. I had a lot more planned, but I had to cut the scope to finish in time. I'd love to expand on the mechanic in a future update or project :)

creativity: simple idea, fits the game.

enjoyment: a bit challanging. enemies were fast. 

narrative: not a narrative game.

artwork: simple but good.

audio: nice basic audio

Developer

Thanks for playing and for  giving the feedback! I'm glad you liked the idea, art and audio. I was aiming for a more challenging experience, but I'll keep your feedback in mind and see if I can make the difficulty feel more fair while still staying challenging, maybe I will add difficulty options in the future. Tho thanks for taking the time to rate my game!

Very interesting mechanic using your time as bullet capacity, makes you try to aim more precisely! Otherwise maybe needs some more polish. Well done anyways tho :)

Developer

Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed the mechanic. I wanted players to think carefully about when to shoot or dash, so I'm happy that you came across that. I'll definitely work on polishing it even more in future projects! Ur game was chaotic in a good way, and I loved it :)

Time being used as a resource for your bullets/dashes is a really neat mechanic, fun!

Developer

Thanks! I'm really happy you enjoyed the mechanic. I wanted to make players think carefully about when to shoot or dash instead of just simply spamming them, so I'm glad that you came across that! Love ur game btw.

The game is interesting. Just needs polish. Otherwise good job

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you found the game interesting. It was my first game jam, so I'll definitely focus on adding more polish in my next project.

Love the art style, I'd recommend having a boss or something as a clear goal as to what to beat, instead of just a highscore. I did a highscore game in my first jam and got similar feedback. nice idea too

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! That's a great idea. I was originally planning to have levels, where you hit enemies to bring the timer down while it naturally counted up, but I had to cut the scope to finish in time. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

The idea seems ok just needs a lot more polish

Developer

Thanks, this was my 1st game jam, so I will try to do better next time.
