I don't know how it matches with theme and how to survive in this game

Enjoyed the music, I didn't realize my shield was depleting when I used to to attack or I would have been more sparse with my space bar. I never did get to the end though even though I roamed for what felt for ever. The music kept me going though. Good Job!

I loved the graphics and the machanics!
The energy bubble is a very good interpretation of the theme!

Congrats!!

Doesn't work for me. It loads and then just display "Index out of bounds".

Nice graphics and gampeplay idea!
I liked the fact that the swarms can push you even if you walk towards them.
It was a little bit repetitive though, when you understand that killing ennemies gives you enough energy to survive, it gets somehow too easy ^^'

Gameplay is fun and the music is cool. The artstyle is good too. I love the look of the enemies. Good job!

Great visuals and the music goes really well together.
Love the simplicity of everything and just the overall idea.
Controls are also very easy to understand. Great job team!!!

I ran until I got bored and then a little further. I don't really get the point of this one, but some of the sprites are super clean and the music is good. Also, it seems to miss the mark a bit. This time last year, the theme was 'Running out of Power' and this would have fit that perfectly, but the theme wasn't that and it really missed the mark.

The art is very nice, but I think this game really needs some navigational cues, right now you just run until you die.
lespaul5914 Aug 2018, 17:20
hey @fizzpowmike1 thank you very much! Yes your right we will keep on working on the gameplay. :)

Really nice entry, I love your game mechanics and graphics!
Well done!

The graphics are nice! Crisp and clean. Character silhouettes stand out well.

One thing I should mention is, there's a strange jitter on the screen when I move the character. Not sure what that was. But, I liked the enemy sprite movement!

The character is too slow. But I liked the music, though.

Has a great aesthetic to it! I don't know if I was playing really poorly or if I was missing the goal, but I found myself mostly walking until I ran out of energy, as my attacks didn't seem to do much to the enemies and I never encountered an energy tower. I think if the way to kill enemies was made more clear, then I would have been much more engaged.

Overall the game felt fun and polished, but the lack of variation was disappointing for how long you're playing it. I think adding different enemies or more abilities for the player would bring this game from a good to a great! Good job, and keep up the great work!

Nice graphics and music. I got to walk around for quite a while but the map seems a bit too big to try and find the portal only by luck with no traceability.
lespaul5914 Aug 2018, 19:15
hey @shafournee thank you for playing! Yes we will add some more enemies but the lack of time has forced us to finish it in this stage :)

Good answer for the theme and graphics are nice but the gameplay feels heavy, good job anyway!
