You start with 0 points, but the aim is simple. Shoot as many pink circles and gain as many points as you can! Left click the pink circle to shoot bullets and gain points, currently the highest score is 1105, good luck!
Made as part of a small university project in Unity. Sorry for there being no sound, it completely slipped my mind when making the game, hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day!
Really cool idea, very intense gameplay though really nice to test my fps skills, really like the colors overall would had been fun with a bunch of diferent colored enemies too.
@nachtwitch Thanks for compliments! The hit detection only works when the pinks circles are clicked on, so mouse click won't work when clicked on anything but the enemies. If there is an issue other than that, please let me know!
@artyom-volkov Thanks you! I had a particle effect on the player originally and I can't believe I took it out for the final version. Will keep your comment in mind when making my next game!
@pixamentory Thanks, I was going for that idea. I was inspired my Asteroids, as well as a quick arcade game my friend made that had bloom all over it!
Great style, and liked how some shots could take out multiple targets when timed right. There's a lot here to expand on, as it gives me modern Missile Command vibes.
@cobear25 & @alphaden Thaanks for the comments, I wish I added some audio, if I did it probably would have been some retro arcade shooting noise and some kind of 80s techno in the background. Next time I'll add some audio for sure! :)
@barrier Thank you for the feedback, a local player mamager to get 1120 and he said that his hand needs a rest afterwards and his eyes started watering from all the bloom. It was just a mini university project I was making and I thoight technically you start with 0 points, which is nothing.
@kirbloid Thank you! I have a few ideas to span upon this game, like adding audio, maybe reducing the screen shake on the bullet impact and adding a play field so then the enemies spawning from the top and bottom don't take you by surprise when they turn up.
Thank everyone for playing and voting for my game!
@sharkwithlasers 1. Great userrname 2. Thank you! At first I forgot to destroy them after the player death so it did kind of brerak the game, but that's probably one of my favourite parts about my game, adds a little edge to the overwhlming power of the pink circles.
The effects and lighting were super pleasing to look at! My score was 90, I unfortunately couldn't get to 100 :cry: The particle effects were also really cool, some audio would have been nice but then again it is a jam and there are a lot of time constraints, anyway I had fun experience playing your game! Overall, this was very good jam entry! PS the neon graphics were epic!
@black-flag I would have loved to add in some audio, I'll definatley add it next next, funnily enough it just slipped my mind until I saw the audio category! The neon graphics are done using the bloom effect, which I got from the asset store, Brackeys has a good tutorial for it! If it helps my highest score is only about 150, turns out I'm not very good at my own game XD
A simple game with nice visuals. As others have said, some good sound effects would have made it even better. I think my hand doesn't like this game though.
@nisovin I'm sorry about your hand, there are idle games out there that'll help calm the nerves, however if you are tempted the highest score so far is 1105. Thank you for the feedback either way!
Ha ha ha ! Beware the LORD OF SHOOTING ! Got 154 on my second game (the first was to understand). Simple but fun. I still got a question... why shooting on pink circles ? Is it because they don't have the same look at us ? (Just joking but when I see "Color Shot" it made me laught for the same reason XD)
The animation of shooting is simple to make but awesome in effect. I also believe that the mood of game will be enhanced if sound effects are added when shooting or hitting a pink circle.
@sir-galloy-de-fierpate Love the joke, I should've added some triangle in the mix so there wasn't circle-ism. Glad to hear you enjoyed my game!
@cirno Thank you! I plan to make another version in the future where I plan to add a few features and bring some sound effects into the mix. Glad you liked it!
Peaceful and enjoyable game! Played it to 300. Very nice visuals, pleasant to watch. Sound and extra points / effects when hitting on the circle would have been awesome. I also lacked the ability to shoot without a clear target, but that might be on purpose. I enjoyed it, nicely done :)
Strange mechanic in which you can shoot only directly in enemies kinda contrintuitive to what you're acustomed to. Also, the slowprogression of difficulty makes it rather tidious. On the other half absence of sounds and music makes it more alienating, in space no one can here youplay this game.
@piturnah I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! It does get weirdly hypnotic when playing for a while, but when I come back to it after the game jam finishes I'll add audio and post it on my Twitter
@onury Thank you! I wanted to go simple as I really wanted to incorporate bloom into my game and I feel like detailed characters would get lost with in the glow. I was thinking of adding other enemies that might be harder to click and be a range of colours
@frank-gevaerts If it helps I'm not very good at my own game, I've only got to 150 myself as I'm no MLG, glad to hear you enjoyed it!
@marcin-j Thank you very much, I wanted there to be a nostalgia factor of playing arcade games like Asteroid and Space Invaders as kids.
@bilalch213 Thanks for liking my game! I plan to make another version after the jam with much more bells and whistles, I'll post it on my Twitter when it's done so you can give that a go!
Looks good and has nice simple gameplay. I would also prefer it if you could click anywhere to shoot in a direction - it's quite difficult to do well using a laptop touchpad :computer:
@elbidev Thank you! I got inspired by Brackey's bloom tutorial, as well as a mini game my mate made a few weeks ago!
@kazatan Thanks for playing! Sorry for the incovienence of not being compatible for touch pad, I'll take your feedback into consideration when touching up my game after the jam finishes!
It was quite slow on my computer, so I tried to download it as an exe. But it doesn't work because you have to include the entire folder of the build, not just the exe. Nice game nonetheless!
I ha to run it in Firefox rather than Chrome but then it ran great, looked great, and was fun to play. I'd throw in some simple powerups and score boosts just to mix up the game play a bit but great effort for 48 hours.
@digitallimestone Oh no! Thanks for letting me know, it should be changed now! If it doesn't work, just image Tron meets Asteroid, but made in 48 hours by a ameture game dev and that's the game xD
@2-odd-diodes Thank you! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it!
@locomule Thank you so much! Yeah I'd love to add a power-ups where the circles get slower, or even dual shooting when I get back to it after the jam!
Cool game, even as an exercise for the university, if feels like something that could be played for a while. Add more enemies and ways to score points and it's a finished game! GJ!
Graphics are simple but I always think simple and clean is best for ludum. I am amazed someone can score so high, I tried around 10 times and I think I got maybe 20/25 points!
I think this game would be much improved with a little sound, if you've not already seen it, there's a great little tool called sfxr that was made for a Ludum Dare years ago that lets you synthesis simple 8/16 bit sounds really quickly. Just a little pew pew sound would make the game really satisfying i think.
@coffeedrinkers First of all I love your name! Second, I'd love to make extra enemies especially that have a different speed and/ or size to make it was more playful. Thank you for enjoying my game!
@blaster391 I totally understand, I can't believe I forgot the audio, but I will definatley make another version that has 80s arcade sounds in it to really tie it together. Thank you for the tip! I was planning on going to freesound, but knowing that there's a specific place for Ludum Dare I will for sure go check that out!
thank you so much! My friends at university are using it to help their reaction times for their CS:GO games, which is definitely something I wasn't expecting to come out of the game xD
The game is good, cool wheel, it's fun, but it has nothing to do with the theme, OK is not the end of the world.. But the general is a very fun and difficult game.
@alexsogge Yeah that sounds like a great idea! I'll try that when I get back to my game after the jam, thanks for the suggestion!
@pedromgdo That's a pretty great score considering I only got to about 150 and I only play the Sims 4 and Fallout Shelter, great job! Thanks for enjoying my game!
@chaosround It was a little game I made on the side which happened to collide with the dates of Ludum Dare and I thought that technically it starts from 0 points and the more you shoot the more points you get, but your conclusion is toitally fair :) Thanks for liking my game!
@candlesan Yeah before I fully submitted I had some local play tester suggest that and I super glad that it payed off, I'm happy you picked up on that! I'm very tempted to make it for mobile, and if I do I'll "shoot" it your way!
@djee I totally agree, will add some music once the jam finishes, but thank you so much for enjoying my game! Turns out I was the only one in my class who entered so I'm feeling pretty proud when folks like you like my game!
Simple mechanic that get's your mouse aim in check =) I struggled to get past 100 for some reason, feels like I got a lot more enemies coming compared to your animated gif above though?? =) Nice compo entry!
@imphenzia I didn't get far in the gif, didn't want to ruin the surprise of rushing the player when the circles begin to swarm in ;) Glad to hear you liked my game!
Does the difficulty increase over time? I didn't feel like it was getting harder. I did eventually loose after about 15 minutes or so. I feel like it needs to get a harder a little faster.
@maaya Thank you! I'm glad you had fun playing, it's pretty fun seeing people get a kick out of my game!
@u-tsang-clan It does gradually get more difficult over time, however it does cap out after the first minute or so. After the jam I'll work more on the progressive difficulty, thanks for the feedback!
@kevinworkman I plan to go back to this game after the jam is over and I can't wait to add features like enemies, powerups and especially audio. I'd love for you to play it when I make it, would love for some more feedback!
@hcursino Glad you had fun! Thanks for playing my game!
Hey @humphreysmedia, It might've been me but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to consistently shoot. Was there some sort of reloading mechanism that I missed? I'll come back and try again :laughing: Enemies would just run me over consistantly!
@croewens THe shooting mechanic only worked when the pink circles themselves were clicked (sorry about not being clear on that) and the player should have infinite bullets. I just thought it limits the player from going nuts with the bullets xD
@dcrdro Yeah I can agree with that, it was a game I made on the side within 48 hours, just when Ludum Dare started so I thought I might as well add it in. Glad you enjoyed my game! :)
Nice game! Simple but fun. Some music & some more mechanics would have been fun, but it's already nice for a compo game :) Also not sure about the link with the theme. (I scored 119 btw) Good job! :D
That was fun! I wish there was a little more to this game, some music and some more mechanics that would build as the game progressed, but it was fun and the aesthetics were nice. Nicely done!
@mrstari Thank you! I'd love to make something more graphical next time, hopefully with some audio too!
@captain-nakou I'd love to explore this on mobile, I find it fun exploring simple and quirky mechanics and I hope to expand this some more!
@game-mon When the game jam is over I'm going to fully upgrade my audio and some add some funky fresh power ups to make the game extra fun! When I made this, it was timed well with the weekend of LD45 and I thought that I might as well slip it in as the player technically starts from 0. Glad to hear you liked it!
@cole-and-jordan-studios It was my first time exploring bloom and I'm super glad it paid off, next time you play imagine an 80s arcade backing track with some asteroid-inspired shoot sounds and that'll hopefully be the audio in the next update!
