This was really fun. Several of the early levels I could run through without caring too much about my phone charge. The music is good. The shooting noises are a little abrasive for my ears. Overall awesome.

I love the idea of managing the battery. Though the sfx are a bit off for me

I actually realy liked the magnifying powerup. the low fov made the game difficult, and using that as a bonus drop was crative. Good job on this game :)

The idea is really creative, I also loved the minimalistic graphics and the gameplay, good job guys! The UI was simple but pretty, I also liked they way the instructions were given, sound effects could be a bit better though, overall good job!

@locksmitharmy Thx for the feedback! @nickdevr Also thanks! We know our sound effects aren't the best... We'll try to do a better job in our next game!

Good ole classic robo shooter :). Good game all around.

The gameplay is well done, the graphics could be improved by animations and zooming out so the player can see more.

this was fun. The concept was different if not a little strange. I felt like the phone was more a mugguffin to keep the battery charged. Other than the arrow(map) feature, it didn't really seem to do anything. honestly, the game was more fun without the arrow feature. I found with using it, I could just run past everything all the way to the safe zone on most of the levels. I was initially annoyed by the close camera view because it made everything terribly hard to see, especially when I was returning fire offscreen. Then I got a magnifying glass off the ground. I realized it was intentional. Well played.

My only really complaint is that while I could shoot a robot when we were both standing on ground, if there was water between us, the laser wouldn't fly over it. Not sure that should be the case. Overall though, good job.

Good job with the game. It lacks the animations though.

@psychic-ash thanks for your feedback! Yes, the 'not over water shooting' was intentional;) We wanted to implement more features with the phone, but we just didn't had inspiration... But I like to hear you still liked it!

Fun little game, I think the collider on the character is a bit wonky thought, but overall a good entry.

This game is awesome. I love the slow motion. The game is really well polished and the controls are insanely smooth. Awesome work!

Well done for your first jam!! I really liked the idea and take on the theme, it was cool and original :)
fabula_rasa24 Apr 2020, 11:31
Very well done for your first jam! After I found my first magnifying glass, I wished the view was like that all the time - it was a nice gimmick :).
The sounds were the only thing that I really didn't like. They are too high and too overwhelming, get unpleasant after a while.
