So this was a more polished game then most (although I've only rated 1 jam i think, the rest have been compos).

I&#039;ll try to break down the game through all the aspects, but I don&#039;t have much time so I will have to replay it later to get a better understanding. Note: I didn&#039;t play as much as I want, and I&#039;ll change the ratings later, but I can&#039;t gaurentee I&#039;ll make a new comment >-<

First off the biggest part to me was: Graphics!

The game had very nice, clear, appeasing, and polished graphics. I am a huge fan of pixel art, and an aspiring pixel artist, as I am not too good.

Next, gameplay. Gameplay was fun enough, although I was all alone for the few minutes I played it xD When my brother wakes up tomorrow, we can play and I will go over my ratings.

I liked the audio for sure. I also liked the smooth animations and the pixel art style that was fantastic.

Didn&#039;t understand how often I could use the orbs but I did like that the orbs seemed to target automatically so it&#039;s probably best that you can&#039;t spam them and leave them up to the opponent to dodge them with line of sight.

Really good mood.

@kataware Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback! I&#039;d love to hear more after you play the game, as I am trying to understand what is good/bad about the mechanism.

Glad you liked it!

@candlesan Thanks a lot :) ! I had very little time to implement the orbs because I was busy with exams and stuff. In earlier builds the orbs could actually spammed, and we found out that it was problematic when our friends kept spamming the orbs. I will definitely take your advice and make it eaiser for players to see when they can use the orb and how many orbs they can use.

@tetristar-interactive Hi! Thanks for bringing this issue up! Could you provide a screenshot or any relevant information so I could try to look into this problem?

Sweet graphics! I liked the audio too! The sperms did not particularly looked like sperms to be honest though, hahah. I would have loved an indicator to know when I had the orb ready as well.

But overall good stuff!

@diptoman Haha good point! We didn&#039;t want them to look exactly like sperms but instead more in human forms so that it would be easier to come up with attack moves. I will add the indicator at some point in the future. Thanks for the feedback!

Huh.. I download the windows file, and after a warning from Avast, I run it and an error on an asian language pop-up. I can&#039;t play your entry. Looks good though

Hi, I get this error when I try to launch the game (Linux release):

```

megabrutal@thinkpad:~/Ludum Dare/LD38/Spermy$ ./Spermy.x86

Set current directory to /home/megabrutal/Ludum Dare/LD38/Spermy

Found path: /home/megabrutal/Ludum Dare/LD38/Spermy/Spermy.x86

There is no data folder

```

Indeed, there is no game data in the archive, only the executable is there.

Not rated.

The art is amazing! It&#039;s hard to find a multiplayer game this nice around here. You guys made it with expertise. I just missed a more intense soundtrack for the arena.

Nice! The graphics are really gorgeous, awesome work there. Nice audio too. Gameplay mechanics are pretty solid, I think my only complaint is that the shot cooldown is so long. Either some sort of cooldown indicator or balancing it such that it&#039;s a bit worse (less homing so it&#039;s easier to dodge?) but can be used more often might feel a bit better. I liked the zooming as well, it was a little off-putting at first but I got used to it pretty quickly. Fun game, nice work!
