Cool game. Am I supposed to be able to move the mouse while pressing WASD, out of curiosity?
LDJam user 267095author2 Oct 2022, 04:41
Thank you! Yes you use the mouse to control direction white bullets spawn.

ba da ba ba ba i'm lovin it!
LDJam user 2989532 Oct 2022, 16:17
Oh I love how you have influence over where the next bullets be!
LDJam user 38082 Oct 2022, 19:50
Nice. Movement could be more smoother. Dying to my own bullet surprised me :)
zoglu2 Oct 2022, 20:02
Interesting idea, controlling the bullets that will themselves kill you later. Nice little entry ! :smiley:

Just understand how to play, is the web version the latest version of the game?
LDJam user 267095author2 Oct 2022, 20:32
I just updated it again, my friend told me I should add some art so I learned how to use Paint3d.

Edit: Box colliders are better now. Sprites are added with transparent background now.
Kimynay2 Oct 2022, 21:50
mouse control has an unclear purpose and it could be that the bullet that spawns can be aimed with your bullets to destroy them? to add more interaction. gameplay is fluid, nice job.

23 is my best score, speed is quite high :)
Well done!

Nice premise! I tried to grab and/or shoot the big bag of money a bunch of times before I figured it out what I was actually supposed to do. Dodging your own bullet ricochets is fun idea.

You may want to take a look at your itch.io settings; part of the game was cropped off when I played it.

Very nice smooth movement, oddly relaxing. Well done!
LDJam user 267095author2 Oct 2022, 22:26
Adjusted the resolution in itch.io to 1200x600. Not sure if that is okay or if it should be 800x600

Also added a gun sprite so it should be more clear there is a gun

Great Idea. Loved how it gets so crazy after few minutes. Only thing that holds this game back is the art but it is a great idea nonetheless.

Pretty good concept. Presentation could use some work but the execution of the idea is still pretty fun.

Cool concept. Might be neat to make the bag dispense more money when a bullet hits it. I tried to get to 10 points a bunch of times and couldn't quite make it.
Rein2 Oct 2022, 22:49
Fun little physics game! SFX and graphics were both clean and straightforward. My only issue was it was hard to tell what prompted the money to come out of the bag. At first I thought it was when bullets hit the bag but they seem to just pop out randomly?
LDJam user 267095author2 Oct 2022, 22:53
New "money" spawns when once you collect the current one. So there is always another money to collect. I'll have to add something later on to interact with the bag since it seems to be a popular request.

It isn't loading for me! I hope it's just for me
LDJam user 267095author2 Oct 2022, 23:11
Try it on Itch.io, if its not working there then I'll have to look into it.
jcg2 Oct 2022, 23:16
Fun and straightforward; thank you for the volume slider!
LDJam user 3012452 Oct 2022, 23:35
Greta stuff, like the movement and the power up change
scifi65462 Oct 2022, 23:40
Cool game, the embeed is not working but the itch.io is. like the controlls but it would be nice to have some kind of visible element that tells me when a bullet is about to be fired
ColeB3 Oct 2022, 00:13
Fun Game. As you get into the later scores it definitely gets hectic

18 is my best score now. will try it again tomz after sleep :sleepy: :smile:
Castitatis3 Oct 2022, 01:21
18 is my best score too, it gets almost impossible at the end :D
LDJam user 2374133 Oct 2022, 04:19
Interesting Game
Not sure how I thematically ended up in this situation, but is a cool bullet hell.
It ramps up pretty quickly with all the bullets out there.
Nice one

my score \o/

This is really fun! ^^ reminds me of old miniclip.com games I'd play in class instead of doing work haha. The mechanic is simple but extremely effective, really good work! :)

I managed to reach 21!
Good work, very simple and fun to play.
I don't understand why my bullets should kill me ? And maybe add a 10 sec counter displayed smoewhere?
greenphox3 Oct 2022, 13:31
nice and simple game I enjoyed it pretty much, my highscore was 23. Well done!
LDJam user 267095author3 Oct 2022, 13:48
I usually lose around 18 :laughing:
I think my high score was around 24-26 when testing, but now I can't crack 23

Super fun to play. Maybe the display of the time remaining before the next shot would be a good additional feature.

Great job :thumbsup:
LDJam user 267095author3 Oct 2022, 15:32
I wanted some uncertainty of when it will fire but it seems that most people do not. I'll keep that in mind.
Flamus3 Oct 2022, 15:32
Interesting game! Simple yet satisfying gameplay!

OldDog3 Oct 2022, 15:46
cute simple funny game ,it is get harder and harder with more bullets ,nice job man ,,,although I think mouse button for bullet dir not useful very much ,I feels all bullet are random and hard to controller direction :)

Really nice game! Managed to get up to 36 after a few tries

Cute game but very difficult. The mechanic of having your own character spawn the bullets that will kill you is very unique! Though it is quite annoying when you die by running into a bullet you just shot in the wrong direction :D Solid entry. I thought it would have been nice to have more than one money at a time so as you don't feel like you're chasing the same thing for a long while, and it would add a bit more strategy rather than blindly running into the only cash in sight.
LDJam user 267095author3 Oct 2022, 20:31
I wanted to add a difficulty slider so you could control how many bullets are shot, but ran out of time :frowning2:. Gun should probably only shoot one bullet at a time, unless you are revolver ocelot.
LDJam user 2364163 Oct 2022, 21:29
My high score is 20! As I understood new money is spawned as soon as previous was collected. So you need to collect them fast.
LDJam user 278827
LDJam user 2788274 Oct 2022, 01:03
Really cool twist on the bullet hell genre, having two bullets spawn at once made for a really nice difficulty curve imo. Simple and satisfying! The physics for the objects was fun too (scored 28)

Very nice idea. Talk about shooting oneself in the foot :-)

Some random powerups besides money would be nice (temporary shield, extra life, temporarily stop shooting, temporarily slow down bullets, money multiplier etc.).

At times it felt like the bullets were chasing me :-D

A game that starts out simple, and remains simple and that´s what I love about it. You get the hang of the rules in one go and then work on getting a larger high score. Nicely done.
My constructive feedback is to change the default background to something else, maybe an image or latest another color. Overall a very good game.

Good application of the theme! Effective difficulty curve, starts out simple but gets hectic. Great sound effects. Some suggestions - a death animation would have been cool, like even a couple of simple circles increasing in radius can do a lot. Also I was hoping that shooting the money bag would make it explode with money! BUT compo is brutal and I'm sure you had lots of stuff you wanted to get in there and didn't have time for. Good job!

Awesome game - I really enjoyed that. I liked the elegant way the difficulty increased. Nice audio. The randomness in the ricochets off walls and money was good, preventing you setting up bullets in stable patterns. Nice work!

Simple but effective idea. Well realized. Controls are intuitive. Could be the core idea of a bigger game with levels of different shapes, bonuses, using money to buy upgrades... Cool micro game :)

Nice game! Fun to play, maybe the aiming feature is not too necessary! I had a nice time playing it!
