Good work dude! Shooting felt satisfying and the bullets look good. I guess the only thing would be to have more variety to keep the interest, but that's jams for you. What you have works well!

Cool take on the theme. I like how you can choose to pick up your upgrades at the right time to get an efficient weapon cycle.

I'm not a fan of this type of game but this one's fun, I like the stretegic elements! And nice visual style too.

@triangletriangle thanks! Yeah I agree, would definitely have added more enemy variations if I had time, feels like time moves faster during jams.

I see we had very similar ideas for our games haha! I love the idea of getting more and more weapons and each of them firing off at the end of a timer. Thats very cool. I love the sound effects and the gameplay felt really nice. Great game well done!

Nice game !

What I liked:
- The gameplay with all the different weapons !
- The way you used the theme.

Improvements:
- Sometimes the weapons are hard to find when they are not within the camera range. Maybe adding somthing that show where the weapons are ?

Good job !

The shooting and the special weapons feel very satisfying. I also like the choice of using 3D for a survivor-like game. Well done!

@lorwon thanks :D! By weapons do you mean the boxes/pickups? Yeah I agree it would have been good to have an indicator for where they spawned.
Sk Katea5 Oct 2022, 18:40
I loved it, especially the fact that you implemented the theme in such a original way

Very cool game, really like the precursor for the different abilitys. This makes targeting really intuitiv!
Cool Idea and nice entry!

Really fun game, it's so satisfying when you get the shotgun and just take out so many enemies at once. Great job!

Solid controls and a solid little game. The cooldown mechanic was a fun take on the theme.

An enjoyable game - the controls and shooting felt very smooth and well implemented, and clearing out chunks of enemies with the skills felt really satisfying.

A fun game. The shotgun and laser feel very nice. I liked the camera perspective of the game too.

I got sucked into this game haha. I like the visuals and the feedback is solid, gun feels fun to shoot and satifying fighting enemies. Powerups were fun too. Great job!
brunozisman6 Oct 2022, 05:16
Okay, so i ended up playing more than i should've... Very easy to understand and challenging at the same time. Great job!

I find the theme use was great, I loved this out of sync special attacks piling up, I was devastated when powerups stopped appearing after 3. How dare you take the chance of being op away from me?
Overall 10/10 if powerups are infinite.

Very cool; addictive little game! I know it wasn't _meant_ to be a "Vampire Survivors -like," but it has the beginnings of that vibe.
theheheo
theheheoauthor6 Oct 2022, 18:23
@resacaGames thanks! yeah you might be on to something there about not stopping at just 3 special attacks.
theheheo
theheheoauthor6 Oct 2022, 18:41
@saintchristopher777 thanks! yeah didn't really realize it was a Vampire Survivors-like until my friend pointed it out haha, I am definitely gonna try that game!
JustARoom6 Oct 2022, 20:31
Love the concept of each ability being on 10s cooldowns, very fun and made me strategize.

@cookiera damn thats probably the best score I've seen so far! really want to make an online scoreboard now

Would like a faster build up but it was fun and immeditaly grokable
Aldruin8 Oct 2022, 09:27
The different weapons bring variety and a fun gameplay to the game. Pretty fun one.
fabula_rasa9 Oct 2022, 18:44
This is quite fun! The special abilities are distinct and really make the game fun. Some energetic music would be great.

One thing that kinda confused me is that you say in the description that I can choose which abilities to use - I'm not sure how to do that. For me, the abilities just activated automatically some time after they finished their 10-second cooldown. I saw no way to chose anything. What did I miss?
infestedrabbit9 Oct 2022, 19:58
its fun
want more guns and right click pleae :)
theheheo
theheheoauthor9 Oct 2022, 21:02
@fabula_rasa thanks for playing and for the feedback! yeah I should have made it clearer that you can press Q to open up an action/ability menu to respec what abilities to use. I currently only have controls in the itch page.

This is a nice little game! Trying to position and time yourself to make the most of your cyber-abilities adds a nice level of strategy to the game. I agree with the other reviews in that it would have been nice to see more variation in terms of abilities and enemy types, but I understand the constraints of jams. It's also a bit disappointing that you can only take one hit before getting a game over, but it does add to the challenge considerably.

Cool use of the theme, our team thought about it too
