Thank you for playing and for the feedback. I probably could have made the goal clearer. The goal is sort of to NOT beat it in a minute. Sure, you can go directly to the cabin, but that doesn't get you the best score. Lasting longer in the forest to collect more items before the werewolf kills you is the goal. The more distance you put between you and the werewolf, the more you can collect before hedging your bets and running to the cabin.  But yeah, only had a week. Hehe

Odd bug I can't squish. when you reach the cabin front door, jump and it will register your success.

Random Item placement during each replay of the game.

During what was supposed to be a routine house cleansing, Nightskin uncovered a long-dormant secret ; and it happened on a full moon. Now, the chase is on! Make your way through the woods to reach your cabin before the werewolf you just angered catches you. Along the way, you'll find nocturnal flowers that can provide you with boosts to your movement speed or help repel the werewolf. The more distance you can put between yourself and the werewolf, the more of these items you can collect, which will contribute to your final score. Gather as many as you can before heading to the cabin and evading capture by the werewolf.

Wow.. thank you. The game Jam ends on Monday. So I am polishing a few things up. I am sure eventually one of these ideas will stick. LOL. Check back in through the weekend for updated versions.

hehe this was fun. I was waiting for Tisha Campbell to start singing.

It is a game jam game, not a full gaming experience. Yes, it is a simple game of hot and cold. The theme is "You should not be here", your character is cleansing a house of items that aren't supposed to be there and yes.. at the end the ancestor skull wants more power. If the game were to continue there would be other houses and environments etc. But it is a game jam submission, not a full horror experience. 

There seems to be a bug. The visuals stay on the cake shop as the rest of the dialogue and descriptions click through. It doesn't change after selecting which cake to take.

Thank you for playing it. I wish I had more time to hide things better and to optimize it. lol

The update willl fix a few known bugs, add a screen regarding controls, minor changes to projectiles. It is just one level and it is a prototype but let's make it work well now. lol

thank you! I was going for that. 

Thank you for the feedback. i too feel the ammo is too big. Depending on how this game does at the game jam, it may get developed. Only had 14 days to do this. 

Simple concept and once I got it, it was addicting. You kinda get in a zone with it. The monitor was right creepy. Good show

So simple and once I got the hang of what was expected, it becomes addictive in an en sorta way. The monitor is creepy for sure. Good show.

Added the instructions to the page. I don't want to change my submission. If I do update it, it will be a post-submission download or something maybe. Thank you for the insight.

Thank you! Depending on how this game does and the feedback, I may take my time a develop it further with an actual lightgun to test lol.

Gameplay Clarification:

This is an on rails shooter in the style of house of the dead. Your mouse is your controller if you do not have a lightgun.

Left Click Shoots
Right Click Reloads
Mouse movement moves the reticle
Esc opens the in-game volume options

After coming back from a neck injury which kept me away from coding for an entire year, I am back in the swing of things.

This game is still in development but I will probably have 1 or two alpha updates I can release here before it all goes to steam and playtesters etc. 

Progress Video:

A LOT of progress have been made over the past few days. There is still a lot to polish up. But some major bugs have been eradicated, some welcomed additions made, audio progress. It is all coming together.

I want to expand the options so you can change the volume of music, dialogue, and sound effects independently. I want to explore some other pathing methods to get more interesting enemy flight patterns, point values or dps values on ships (dps depends on if I implement weapon strength multipliers), more voice stuff like alerting when you hit the forcefield and a warning when the forcefield timer is about to run out, and achievements.

Not to mention the art. The levels have an aura but that's bout it. Thinking I may want to export my blender ship models to sprite sheets.

Release an alpha update

known issues: 

* autoshoot when getting new guns still happens for some reason
* audio levels are not consistent
*enemies do not "die" when they hit the forcefield but they do not cause damage either
* sometimes the score does not full reset on replay
* when you die the pause is really short so you end up hitting "replay" but even noticing you are dead. LOL

Enjoy the play test.

Considering changing the movement but we shall see. 

It really has been 2 years since I put this project down. A lot was happening in my real life and priorities had to shuffle.

But... things have calmed down recently. The events were mostly positive with a dash of negative tossed in for some razzle dazzle. 

But as of today, I am picking this project up again. A lot is left to do. The art is a disaster and is meant as placeholder while I get the systems fleshed out.  I have learned a lot in the past few months and will be looking at a rewrite of this project to bring it up to coding standards. This is not the longest game in history and is going to get finished.

Oh, I hear ya, I agree. I had ideas but this was as far as I could get. 1 idea was for a "wild card" soul that could match anything but gives double the soul count. But yeah, I had to stop somewhere manageable. 100% agreed.

Will there be a category for underrated games? Totally asking for a friend. LOL

Wow... this game was a lot of fun to play. Looks great, sounds great, plays great. Time limit adhered to. I enjoyed playing this one.

Interesting concept. A little hard to see. I would keep working on it though, the mechanics make sense and this could be a great mobile title.

I love the UI! I didn't understand what I was building til the end. So I definitely had to play it again once I got it. I like the sound, I like the comic book style.

I really did like this game. The controls are a bit wonky but I like the idea. Minor tweaks to enemy speed or how many bullets it takes to kill em may be needed. Overall, solid game. I may have missed the stream theme though.

Oh wow! That is awesome man! I much appreciate that!

Thank you! I appreciate that you played it and that you enjoyed it. I did find myself playing it a lot while I was making it.

I like the coin use to change the boat's stats. Some spaces feel impossible to get through without hitting something but I am also not the best at wasd controls as a lefty. The increase in speed is a good challenge. LOL 

Thank you for playing it! :-) 

It is a set rotation of 8 streams of 6 souls per stream each with at least 1 or two purple orbs that are randomized. I should have made the purple orbs yellow or something as they are too close to the blue on some monitors. Definitely a big oversight on my part. :-(

I cannot guarantee all or any feature requests will be included but all will be considered.

We will start using Butler before too long so that itch users can have timely build patches without having to redownload a new zip file version.

As a new game developer, feedback is important.

Please do provide and constructive feedback regarding Omega StarFighter as development of this title continues.
