Red Entity is a game about a bunny girl, her giant mech, the connection between them and a couple thousand fearsome enemies against them.
We interpreted the "connected worlds" theme as two connected, but seperate entities, with their own different approaches to things. A mech game seemed like a fun notion for this, but since this was a collaboration between artists and programmers, perhaps there are more connected worlds than meet the eye?
Tips : * The pilot kick C/L is paramount to success outside of the mech. You're invincible while using it and it lets you traverse the level easily! It's also a lot of fun, which is good. * You will regain health while in the mech.
There might be a bug with altering screen scaling on some graphics cards... similarly, if the volume is too high, I apologize.
I had a lot of fun playing this, the only thing problem with the game is that There were no instructions regarding what the GUI actually meant and the random weapon changes when picking up weapons without knowing them is kinda annoying. The mech idea was AWESOME seriously although I could spam it all the way making it kinda easy toward the end. Overall, its a really fun game to play :D
Holy shit this rocks! Very cool graphics and animations. The sound effects pack a punch and the music is catchy. Although the connection to the theme is not entirely clear to me, I think you guys made a an awesome game.
I think that shooting using the mouse cursor as direction could fit in this game. I found myself trapped in the caos wishing to shoot in all directions.
Art & music are fantastic! I also love the controls, but it would be much better if it had gamepad support... Well, nothing that "joytokey" can't solve ;) Great game, one of my favourites of the Jam, I hope you'll decide to make a full game out of this, cause I'd love to see this on Steam! :D
Very cool game! The controls were a little difficult, but I got used to it. Her jumps aren't that high, but maybe that's intended. The mech is really nice, but I wasn't aware if there was a limit on how many times you can summon the mech. The mech itself was a little hard to control. The graphics and music were awesome.
I can definitely see the influences here - I can feel some rocket knight, gunstar heroes, and a hell, even a bit of armored core with the mech's seriously destructive laser blade. You guys had the feel down pat, on top of an absolutely pumping soundtrack and incredible pixel art.
The rhythm of switching from melee use to special weapons (and timing mech transformation!) and the feedback of blowing up enemies was absolutely perfect. I have to admit I actually got goosebumps every time I laserbladed some enemy mechs.
Only comment I had was the connected worlds theme was a bit of a stretch, but hell, this is a 5* entry. Hats off to you guys for making this in 72 hours.
Nevermind playing more if you made more. I would buy this game no question if you made a full release.
WOW, it was relly awesome I was like addicted to the game, it is so cool when I call the mech and he slashes through the enemies, I enjoyed it it is exactly the kind of a game that I like: Not too hard, not too easy, but gets you wanna play it, also popcorn enemy monologue at the end: L - O - L !!! :D
one of the best jam games this LD, the melee/dash feels just perfect! This is really a game that's all about the "feel", atleast in my perspective. Only thing i found a bit off is that the mech doesn't really seem that much better than the pilot. Either way, made multiple 10 round tries, still haven't completed it though :(
Very impressive for only 72 hours. Awesome title screen, great in-game graphics and animation, solid sound effects and music, and a cute little ending sequence. Well done.
But I almost didn't play as the mech. The pilot kick is too OP (and fun to use), so everything else was kind useless... I fell like the game needs to be better balanced...
One of the best looking games I've played this LD. Was fun to play and liked the different attack waves. Think you just need a bit more difference in gameplay between the mech and the normal player but overall an extremely polished entry, great music, great art.
Looks and feels nice, but the gameplay is honestly somewhat dull as it is. I guess the feel of progression just isn't there, since you're confined to a certain area and the enemies spawn in waves, which are indeed always a bit harder, but still pretty similar to the last wave. Not much to do but run and gun (hehe) around the stage at the moment. If only it had actual levels with bosses..!
Don't get me wrong though, it was a great entry!

Please tell me you're making a full game out of this.
But what does it have to do with the theme?
I think that shooting using the mouse cursor as direction could fit in this game. I found myself trapped in the caos wishing to shoot in all directions.
that was ridiculous
like a mix of aces wild + gunstar heroes
only complaint is that getting hit didn't feel like getting hit
that is, it felt like monsters/bullets were just gliding through me
and the gun sound was ehhh
but overall yeah
THAT WAS AWESOME.

Often I didn't notice the correlation of getting hit and losing hp.
