That was a lot of fun; and well executed! I got caught out a few times by trying to get too many enemies in the reaction. :)
Thanks for trying my game! I got caught too many time doing that too ahah :)
The whole game is great, fits well with the theme. There was one thing that bugged me a bit, since I'm quite used to fast paced games like this one I found it a bit irritating when it took so long to fire, the animation for it was great but if yo could speed it up a little it would be great. And also, if you want to add something you could maybe add a dash or a sprint with limited stamina, would be able to have more skill expression.
Overall a nice game.
(edit) The sounds and music were great aswell.
I've updated the game and double the animation speed for the shoot mecanics, you're right it give a much better feel to the game. You should try it again see if feels better for you too.
I had the dash in my backlog, but decided to give up this mecanics for the scope of the game jam, but if I decided to continue this game afterward, I would much definitively add it.
Thanks for your helpful feedback!
Tried it again, feels much better. Good job! I also entered the game jam but when the theme was announced I had a bit of a creative block so right now I'm kinda out of projects, though I look forward to maybe seeing you in the next weekly game jam if you join.
I won't join the next one, but I will keep a eye on your profile. Looking forward to see what you will do :)
I love the theme you created for this game by using lightning as a chain reaction, the idea, and process towards creating this game. The gameplay is really good as well and the player and enemy movement is scripted so well. If you want a suggestion from me, I would try and add power ups. Other than that, this game is really cool and challenging! (The multiplier addition was a nice touch as well too!).
Thanks for the feedback! This is actually a good idea, I've thought about maybe special habilities, but having them as pickup would give a better challenge!
Yup! That would be a really nice touch to help increase the players power. 😀
nice game,loved it , i like that attack mechanics , u can even make it a full game
Thanks! It was so fun to make, having more time, I would definitely look to do a full game! Or at least update this down the line with more mecanics!
good job
thanks!
