IO: Live Birthday

Great work! The pacing and difficulty is great and it's really easy to get into and enjoy! Definitely one of my favorites of this jam! :)

Nice twist with the teleport rather than just run and gun. I was skeptical at first but as soon as I played it worked really well!

Very polished little game. Looks nice and plays well. Small complaint is that there isn't really any point in getting a new weapon when you have a decent one, as you're more likely to get a bad one then. Wouldn't it make more sense to have the different weapons switch to pistol after a while? (as is common with powerups in shootemups and the like)

thanks for the feedback peeps!

I shall use these to improve the game and for future development

Awesome work on your game! Very replayable! It's very satisfying to play, nice and polished. good work :)

I really like the timing for the teleportation (it's really smooth), as a whole the game feels really polished and fast paced! The 'sniper' power-up didn't, seem to work but everything else was awesome! Bit of feedback is that you could include ammo / multiple guns so players are incentivised to pick up weapons. Really great job nonetheless !!

Lovely little game! it felt very polished and I spent a good bit of time on it!. Simplistic, but lots of fun!

I really love the concept for this game! I haven't seen teleportation as a dodging mechanic much, and the gameplay feels super smooth. The graphics are really cute too. One suggestion I have would be to add a small bar showing the cooldown of each weapon, to let the player know when e.g. the sniper is available to fire. The only other issue I have is that it takes a bit too long for the difficulty to start picking up; after a couple minutes it does a sharp jump fairly easy to really difficult, and dying there means you gotta wait the whole time for the difficulty to pick up again.

Really unique way of moving by teleporting instead of the usual walking around! In terms of balance maybe there could be a cooldown on the teleport since i could just spam it to avoid enemies. Overall a really fun game!

Nice little game! Runs smoothly, nicely polished. Artwork is nice and simple.
Surprisignly difficult, but that's what makes the game fun and replayable!
Great work!

nice game, very well made. and the teleport idea is something really nice. In my opinion would be interesting to have some sort of bullet count, game can become a little easier if you get one good weapon and just keep it.

I love the amount and variety of the weapons. The weapon designs definitely force you to adapt your playstyle.

My favorite gun is the SMG!

A really fun game. I enjoyed the teleport movement as a shake up to the regular twin stick shooter formula. My favourite gun was the sniper though Happy Birthday was a close second :P Overall really solid entry, well done. :)

Very fun and challenging game. The variety of weapons is a plus. Great work!

The teleportation was cool , but the death was a little unexpected / sudden and I wasn't sure what numbers were. If you dev beyond the Compo, add some different colours / particles for the weapons. The game mechanic was fun and pretty original. Would be good on mobile, where you can quickly tap where to teleport.

GREAT GAME!

Cool game, these mystery boxes are awesome, it's very interesting to play with them, because the speed of shooting in result is random, veeery nice, great job!

A really solid and well made game jam entry. Graphics and sound are beautiful, and the gameplay is smooth and fun! A really nice arcade style game with great and easy to learn controls. Simplistic and polished. Good job!

I like that you have to be lucky to get a good "weapon". It becomes kinda impossible after some time but still a cool game!

This was fun - the controls felt really nice and the game was simple to understand and enjoy immediately. It seemed like, about after you had killed 50 baddies, the spawn rate increased so high that no weapon could deal with the hoard as fast as it spawned - maybe introducing some new kind of challenge instead of just more enemies would have allowed the difficulty to grow further without becoming outright impossible.

thanks for the feedbacks guys! will use this information to add variety and balancing them difficulty spikes

Really fun game! I thought only being able to teleport to move was a cool idea. I stuck with the sniper weapon and it felt waaaay more effective than anything else early on, but I could see how another weapon might be better as more enemies spawn.

I did some minor updates to the game and added more weapon variants to it!

do check it out!

The SMG and SSMG may be a bit too overpowered but otherwise the shooting and teleportation game play loop was surprisingly fun! Good job!
