This game has some really good ideas. The graphics are simple but charming, and the sound effects are really satisfying.
The RNG can be a real pain sometimes. If an upgrade spawns on the opposite side of the screen, there's often no way to reach it before it disappears.
Also, since upgrades spawn over time, I tried to "break" the game. I stopped using the grappling hook and just dodged the starting enemies while waiting for upgrades to spawn, hoping I'd become strong enough to beat the game. After collecting around 20 upgrades, I finally started using the hook. I managed to reach 600 points before dying. This game is tough, I couldn't beat it even with that strategy. xD
wow you realy are a pro gamer
i only got it 300
ofc cus i didnt have time to game test so i didnt knaw not body can win LOL
simple But Fun I like it
Thanks :)
The game idea and execution is lovely. It's like so small amount of ingredients coming together to complete a lovely recipe.
BUT, game is unfortunately a no for me. The idea is amazig, some of the SFX is just perfect. The background glitch ambience is lovely, the hook and after you hit the High Score, those like small bitings being ripped out from it, they are lovely. But the game is so slow, such a big horizontal movement area for such a small vehicle.
Ingame feels so RNG since you may never be close enough the get some upgrades. And then, there is the biggest issue. I did not give up on "Catch your High Score" quickly but tried like 4-5 times, but each time after I get and select the 1 of 3 upgrades, game just freezed up.
It's a good idea and could definitely use some polishing, some engine like sound for vehicle, better movement in manner of speed, some less cooldowns from beginning... These would make it nice arcadelike game. With what it is right now, it's just an amazing idea with a mediocre ingame design.
I loved what you did with the sounds, small but perfect for the vibe visuals... All great, but the ingame feel needs polishin for sure.
Well done A7med, I also loved the main screen bottom right. You're the best! Good job completing your jam entry as a working prototype. Feel free to reach out to us, go check out our games and feel free to come say hi in our Discord. We're a indie studio from Turkey, we might find a thing or two to chat about :)
thx for your great comment a lot of people tell the game is slow i didn't know that cuz i didn't have time for game testing, but i'm planning for more updates after the game jam end and thx agean
It'll be far better after your upgrades, well done!
Hey this is great. I love how the high score looks and the art of the game. it did feel a little slow also a couple of times the upgrade spawned and even though I moved right when I saw it , I could not reach it.
yah sorry i think i make the upgrade hit box so small
Nice game!
Oh noo my highscore win
Yah his realy strong for number
Reminded me of some old arcade classics.
thx that i want the game to be a retro
fun game loved everything about it
Hiii I really liked the enemy types and all that stuff, I think you did a really great job all around! I will say though, that the early game is a little bit slow and I feel like things could've ramped up a little sooner. Other than that, I liked the sounds, the aesthetic of the game, it looks pretty polished ^^
