Update 1: Fixed flying enemies so they can be killed.
Mini shooter-RPG with a cute aesthetic. Not well balanced or tested, so could possibly be frustrating? Any comments appreciated.
-how to play-
a & d: move
left click: fire gun
right click: teleport to planet
e: heal
space: run
q: cycle dialogue
esc: access menu/level up screen
upgrades:
energy: health
love: action bar (shoot, run heal)
heal: amount e heals
therapy: bullet strength
the world is overrun with cuteness! time to take them out with your handy love shotgun. destroy the cute spawners in each planet system and save the galaxy from cuteification.
Everything except for music by me.
Created in Construct 2.
Music from the Youtube audio library (New Land - ALBIS)
This is a super chill and relaxing game :) If you want some constructive criticism, the only thing that really stuck out to me was that it was kind of hard to tell the difference between warping and dying if you weren't paying close attention.. which is hard, because it's easy to get lost in the pretty visuals and relaxing music. Great job!
DrPrettyPatty - I had planned on doing this whole death/revival scene but it slipped my mind in my rush to finish! Thank you for reminding me.
avultima - Thank you, I had thought I'd fixed the problem with the flying ones, but apparently I was mistaken! I'll have to take a look at it again later.
Fantastic artwork! The controls could be a little faster. While I loved the chill vibe, I found that sometimes I wanted to shoot faster than allowed. Need to love the tiny things moooore!
I think the game play could definitely use some fine tuning. Things got repetitive kind of quickly, and the controls needed to be tightened. Lovely art style, and the music fit perfectly. Put me in a relaxing mood.
Very original idea, and sickeningly cute graphics. I liked the teleport mechanic as well as the amusing dialog. I feel like the gameplay could be faster paced though, like faster shooting speed and faster movement speed, or maybe just reduce the amount of "love" used for shooting and running. As it stands now, when on a planet with lots of enemies, it seems like you don't have a lot of options other than mashing the shoot button, then mashing the heal button when you get low on health. You could try to evade them a bit by running, but then that also leaves you out of love and unable to shoot. I think more mobility would make it more fun.
A couple possible bugs: Is it normal that when you click on a level/planet system on the menu screen, it gives you ability points? I'm assuming not. Also, some planets seem to spin the wrong way around when you sprint on them (like, objects I'm supposed to be moving towards were suddenly moving away).

Odd that you had to click the levels on the menu screen before your character was able to get ability points. Also, I could not kill the flying cutes.

I would love to see that visual on more polished mechanics. Great job nonetheless!
Very pretty color schemes, and the planet walks are ultra trippy!

Overall cool entry, nice work.
Also, come back to GAF. :)
