Cute game, I'm curious how you got the leaderboard working and hosted.
This might be the game that truly fits the Jams theme best; it's very fun to make combos.
Nice game! I like how it has one mechanic and it is charge! Played it during development phase and now, it became better! Good job!
I had fun playing this. The charge up mechanism works really well. I liked the visuals too. Good job.
very fun and simple game, i loved the core mechanics, it works very well. great use of the theme. i love the overcharge mechanic also. this is just a super fun game, awesome job!
Fun little game! In some ways I think it'd be nice to have a warning of some kind when one of the enemies were going to appear as right now my main times dying was when I charged to an edge to hit an enemy and then another one spawned right beside before I was able to move away. That being said I had a good time and would play again. Good work!
Extreeeeemely fun, I can feel myself coming back to play this for sure. Everything is on point- audio, visuals, game feel, mechanics, the rewarding feeling popping them, challenge etc 5/5 currently my high score is 4455, will be back to beat that
I reached the score of 5586 for now, a really tense scoring game, nice work!
Really clean take on "hold to charge" — I built a charge-blast game for this same jam, so I came in curious how someone else read the theme, and the dash-through-the-swarm loop feels great. The "what you are looking at" primer up front is a smart touch: swarm/gold/volatile/sentinel/star-spark all read as distinct roles before the timer even starts. The weekly leaderboard is doing real work as a return hook too (lordricker's 10797 is intimidating). My honest first-timer note: my early runs scored almost nothing because I was dashing on instinct into empty space — the depth is clearly in timing a near-max charge through a cluster for the chain, but that "aha" is a little hidden on run one. A subtle in-run cue when a dash actually connects with 2+ enemies (a bigger pop / combo flash) might surface the skill ceiling faster. Fun, tight, and very on-theme. Nice work!
Pretty cool, really makes me want to add a leader board to my game but not sure its ready for that.
I did get the high score (5000 something) at the time of playing, Im not sure if its intended but my best strategy was to click rapidly to position myself and only charge shot the guys that require the charge. Was confused the first two times I timed out after 60 seconds, thought i died lol. Might add a victory or death message maybe.
its an interesting concept forcing a player to get as many points in 60 seconds as you can. my suggestion would be to lean into that, like some sort of in depth combo system with a high skill ceiling.
I got around 1700 after my first couple tries, then I saw someone got 3000??? I’m gonna try to break that score now!
Fun short arcade loop. I liked the immediate feedback when clicking/charging and seeing the score jump quickly.
One small thing: at first I was mostly clicking around and watching the score go up, so I think a clearer first-run cue about the best timing for hold/release could make the strategy click faster.
Very clever “60-second game” once you get the hang of it; scored over 2300.. :)
