I love the game, but I have to say the soundtrack RULES.

Nice range of different enemies and attacks! I would love to fight the weeds in a slightly bigger arena, and I very much enjoyed the auto difficulty feature.

The soundtrack was awesome

Very complete game, many levels and achievements, nice work ! I didn't get how attack power worked tho. Maybe the incoming attack cues are a bit too sublte.

Really cool game, however in some levels I couldn't move. Apart from that adding something to indicate what direction you are facing would be helpful as sometimes I felt that it was difficult to see that. The audio was amazing and so were graphics, and it was a blast to play as well!

I had quite a lot of fun! nice entry, I felt the game got too hard at some point

This game has a lot going for it! I particularly liked the graphics. I think the environments, enemies, and even have a very unique and cool style. The music was pretty cool and the gameplay has a great fast-paced feel. I think the biggest improvements you could make would be in adding variety to the combat, or perhaps adding something to do between rounds of combat (the mostly empty screen is a bit strange). Overall, I'd say you have a lot to be proud of - this game has quite a lot of style!

Is there another link? I sadly can't get this to load in my browser

SciDevauthor10 Jan 2023, 22:15

@hfsevans it doesn't work in firefox for whatever reason, try another browser. I may add more links later.

Very good mood (music & graphics). ... Famous last words. I also liked the micro play-sessions: very fast outcome. Make it or break it kinda deal. No chit-chat. Good stuff.

Great rouge-lite submission.

bobbie11 Jan 2023, 21:04

Neat game, albeit slightly too fast-paced for my tastes. Hold attack felt really satisfying to use

RunicPixels11 Jan 2023, 21:26

Quite fun, interesting artstyle, too.

Nice game, great music.
The attack power was an interesting mechanic.
I would have liked some visual feedback to the direction you are facing.
Feels like something is missing from the menu screen.
It worked in firefox for me after opening the frame in its own tab. The http headers are not set up correctly on this site for for the iframe to work with some games.

It crashed after several levels though:
`TypeError: AudioParam.value setter: Value being assigned is not a finite floating-point value.`

@runicpixels that was one of the most fun parts actually. I avoided doing actual pixel art directly (because I've barely done it and I don't know how beyond the abstract principles lol). I made the style by overusing clone and filter layers lol. It's weird how once I figured out the layer setup I could kinda paint normally and nondestructively free transform and it just turns magically into pixel-looking art.

Can't beat your game's art tho wow.

@someone yeah the embed thing's likely a ludum dare or Unity problem, nothing I can do but use a working host service. (prolly shoulda put it on itch but oh well lol).

Cool game! I think I got all the achievements. Nice use of MilkyTracker! I would say some of the later difficulties were near impossible with too many electric things but thats a small complaint. Nice job!

Very energic Music !!
Fun to play ! I would have liked in addition to the achievements, to unlock new abilities, like a shield, a gun weapon, stuff like that :)
But overall it's a great jam game !
