Shooting the bullets and watching them bend around the blackholes was really fun and interesting, maybe mixing up the gamplay a little more as you go on would be cool. Good job!
Thank you for playing and leaving feedback! I definitely agree with you, some more variety or a different core structure to the game would improve the experience.
Trying to bank shots off of blackholes was definitely fun, even if I was not able to hit anything. Maybe trying to lean into that more would be interesting. Well Done, all things considered!
Thank you for playing! My original idea was some kind of level based trick shot game but time restrictions led me to implement a simpler game structure. Appreciate the feedback!
cool idea with good execution. i wasnt a fan of the side chaning continue buttons during the intro. and the buttens in general could have needed some sound feedback.
For the game itself i think it was fun. There was missing some goal though or increasing difficulty. Think it stayed too easy. Being ablue to move was useless and the moving itself was the worst part of the game. Didnt felt good, so i skipped it altogether. Other than that good job!
Thanks for playing and for the detailed feedback! You're totally right, I missed adding sfx to the UI - I'll keep that in mind for future projects. Sorry if the intro screens didn't appeal, it was something I threw together at the end as I had a little time left over. Theoretically the movement was intended to allow repositioning to get a better angle at some of the more distant blackholes but I agree it didn't serve much gameplay function in the final build.
Thanks so much for taking the time to play and review!
Oh and i forgot on one small thing: next time chage the cursor to match the game. Will make a significant difference.
Another good idea I'll definitely keep in mind for whatever I make next!
the game is really cool but its missing something like types of enemies but it does not effect it that much since the core concept is good enough to carry any lack in any direction also the sounds are good to peak game i loved it one of the best 2d ones so far
Thanks heaps for playing! I definitely agree with you - with more time to work on the project, I think at the minimum an enemy that shot a projectile and some kind of dodge would have added to the experience. I'm really glad you enjoyed it so much, thanks for your review!
Cool art, great gameplay. It’s missing some kind of counter or a bit more dynamism, but otherwise, it’s really cool.
Thank you so much for playing and reviewing! I definitely agree more variety in enemies would have helped - if I had more time and experience, I think a level based structure to the game might have helped. Thanks again for giving it a go!
This was so cool. I love that the black holes suck up your bullets. The effect looks really cool. Also, the sound design is very nice. Great job!
Thanks so much for the kind feedback! Glad you enjoyed it!
that's a very original idea - the difficulty ramped up a bit too suddenly so I think I lost relatively quickly. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for playing and for your feedback!
This is a really fun game, I could imagine this in an arcade! My only wish is that the difficulty ramped a little more, and there was a points based score rather than just time. The bullets curving around the black holes was such a great addition.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the feedback, and I'll consider ways to implement different difficulties and scoring systems in future projects.
