Listen I managed one lap!  I'm proud that I got that far.

Developer

Oops, I think I made it a bit too hard. Thanks for playing!

Nice experience ! Would love a more easy start for the first lap, so that I can figure things out/build up my ship, but appart from that looks/works great :D !

Well... when I read roguelike, I felt the urge to test it! I did many runs, tried to win, but I think I got some skill issues hahaha

The graphics and music are very well tunned, and power-ups really make the game fun! Tried to go with some 10% damage increase early, only to find out how op the granades are.


The only thing I think I can say is that I had some difficulties keeping my height, couldnt be super precise about my movements, but other than that, really cool experience! Got to 5th loop

Developer

5th lap is great

Yeah I think making enemies bigger/movement easier could make this much more accessible. or just more damage.

Thanks for playing and glad you had fun!

Nice Game!

You wanna check out my game too maybe would be very happy!

The hardest part in the game is to gain level 2 and find grenade launcher. After this it is a joyful 7 laps ride ;) I was having fun playing the game!

Developer

Hahahahaha def the hardest part is getting there. I think I should give lvl2 a bit earlier.

Glad you had fun!

I love how the game gets you in the zone! It was really fun experiment with the different upgrades XD

It was a bit tricky to get the hang of the spacebar in the beginning, but nothing that a bit more loops couldn't resolve!

Developer

I'm glad you had fun playing it! It's always reassuring knowing that people eventually get the hang of it :)

Very nice! I kept trying to get a better run. If I could give a piece of feedback, maybe clear the area around the ship whenever an upgrade is just chosen. I lost most my lives from upgrades interupting the flow in a tight passage.

Great job, solid game!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! That's a great idea, def needed this feature

Submitted

Had lots of fun figuring out the optimal route to get through the obstacles!

Developer

Thank you for playing, glad you had fun :)

Damn, now this was addictive! I made a shmup too, so glad to finally see another one : D

First game this jam that I couldn't put down until I had it beaten, and even then I wished it had gone on longer ^^

At first I thought the physics were a bit floaty, but I got used to it by the end. I find it particularly fun how the order of upgrades you take kind of determines the difficulty. My first idea was "more damage, sounds good", but turns out that's way less useful in the beginning than the grenade launcher.

Overall really solid entry,I think you could turn this easily into a pretty good full game!

Developer

Wow that's so nice to hear, I'm glad you liked it :')

Balancing physics and gameplay was the trickiest part, so glad that didn't stop you!

Really enjoyed the vibe and the loop survival concept! Shooting the blocks felt satisfying and the gameplay kept me hooked. Great job balancing the challenge and fun . Definitely a solid jam entry!

I'm glad you enjoyed playing the game, and you didn't find it too difficult. Thanks for your time :)

Thanks for playing :)

Very good and solid infinite runner. Had a very fun time trying to get overpowered and destroy the blocks. The feel of the game was very nice, and it felt really nice to shoot the blocks. It would also mean a lot if you could review my game. This is my first game jam.

Developer

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you had a good time :) gonna check your game in a bit

Submitted

Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy it!

Submitted

Very Fun game. I really enjoyed it. 

Developer

Thanks for playing :)

Solid flappy-birdy infinite runner.  The physics are a bit floaty for my taste, but the look & feel is otherwise pretty unique, and the backing track is pretty nice.  Check out my game if you get a minute.

Developer

Thanks for playing my game! It was tricky to nail the physics but I'm glad you found something that you enjoyed. I'll def check your game out
