Love the gameplay loop of this! I do feel like point-blank shots should one-shot the weaker enemies and the recoil could be toned back a little on the Roomba, but aside from that really enjoyed the game.
The audio and art are amazing, it's so cool you were able to make 10 levels in such a short amount of time. The gameplay is so satisfying and fun to play. Overall a pretty fun game to play.
I love the Hotline Miami style. I also really like the way you give a second chance with faster shooting, that’s a clever design choice. And the score system is a great addition too. Awesome work!
Amazing art direction and really great gameplay, I loved being able to shoot faster after getting smashes against a wall. A difficult game having an incentive to get a better score with the letter gradings was very motivational and fun !
SO????????
This is insane. The art is gorgeous, and the gameplay is so awesome... admittedly I'm really bad. But. Really fun stuff and crazy fast, found myself dying tons, but still having a blast! The measure of a good game... it's difficult, but it's really really fun. I'm so glad I got to play it.
GOOD STUFF :)
This game is straight FIRE! I love blasting people down with shotguns (in-game). I always love the double mechanics with movement and attack using the shotgun, it's so fun to play around with!! You guys did amazing, keep up the good work!
This game is so fun, it reminded me of otxo with the whole red vibe its going and top down and OBVIOUSLY hotline miami which I love. I think this game would've been 5/5 for me in fun but I gotta say with the recoil and the enemy health ,it was odd to get thrown back so much and I think a dash or a roll would've been helpful to break that whole slowdown. Eitherway, 5 stars on everything else though, I loved it. I really like the whole corpses being thrown thing and it is very satisfying to kill enemies.
Very fun game, I kind of wish enemies died faster though since I have a boomstick vaccum cleaner
Very fun game with a very unique premise! There is definitely a lot of enjoyment in trying to figure out the order to take down enemies and getting into the risky state of having to kill someone to regain health after getting smashed against a wall.
While it's definitely a game with a mess ton of polish in its visuals and juiciness in its movement/mechanics, I think this is the type of game that'd benefit from going almost overboard with VFX and UI animations. Like having larger explosions when an enemy gets splatted against a wall/firing a huge weapon like a shotgun, or colorful text VFX that appear after an enemy dies. Using warmer colors so they don't get in the way of the visual clarity you have from having your characters be black and white, while also still staying within the color palette of your environment. Also, definitely something when you get a combo higher than, like, 10 that's making everything super intense on screen. Something that's making you feel like you're doing super well without looking at the UI, since if you have a 10x combo, you'd prefer to look for more enemies rather than at the combo most of the time.
In terms of sound, having more sounds when enemies die, when the combo meter hits past a certain point, etc. All to contribute to the insanity of being a Roomba on a rampage type deal. Also, sometimes the music doesn't play when you die and restart a level, but thats prob a small fix!
Def a lot of potential with this game! Really nice job!
Oh I definitely agree with the VFX point, if we had more time (and more ideas for places to stuff extra juice in) I think going all out would work very well. And I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it!
very fun game! kinda hard cus im on trackpad. who knew grandpas would be so durable?
Love me a Hotline Miami style game! Super punchy and a bunch of fun. I wish you could one-shot the lighter enemies. Great work team!
Very fun, these guys are so tanky though man I'm getting thrown around like a ragdoll LOL Good job and nice game!
Absolute banger of a Hotline Miami inspired game with a hilarious theme to boot. Amazing juice in this one too, I'm a sucker for a game super juicy primary action like this one. One thing you can add to that is hit stop where the game pauses the time scale for a super short amount of time.
LOOVVVVVVEEE THIS. This is the type of game I would never get bored with if it were a full release. Super snappy gameplay and stellar art and music.
ay thanks goat
It may genuinely be peak. Love the artstyle and the gameplay! I think some of the levels such as 4 were really well designed and made good use of enemy types! If there was one thing I would add, it would be either an overcharge type of shot that let you push yourself further or the ability to use your own momentum to barrel into enemies.
I like that overcharge shot idea...I would love to have different roomba types if we ever expand this game out.
The art, music, and gameplay feel all mesh together really well, super fun to play! Who wouldn't like roomba hotline miami lol. I also really like the last stand mechanic
great game with a great style (color palette is on-point). game feel is great, with particle effects, great sounds, and nice enemy death animations. well done!
Nice game! It felt really good to fire the gun, and the movement felt fair and not frustrating. The level select screen was a fun additon that allows u to replay levels more easily, I appreciate that. I was wondering, did Jeremy also make the music for this game? I wasn't sure from the credits.
He did! I'll update the description rq
Really fun gameplay loop! It's enjoyable to retry the levels and see how fast you can eliminate all enemies. Artstyle and presentation in general is top-notch. My only wish is if there were more weapons for the player to use. Other than that, really great game!
