What engine did you use?
can you make tutorial on youtube?
how did you do it
Great game! Looks nice and it's quite satisfying to play.
One thing I'd like to point out is that the player's hurtbox seems… off? Like it doesn't really match the visuals? I'm not sure, but getting hit feels inconsistent.
I was messing around to confirm it wasn't just a skill issue and this happened.
Just finished a run and wanted to give you some feedback. I enjoyed the game and I had some genuine fun with it. I did however, run into some things that I wanted to mention.
I love a good screen shake, but I felt that it was a bit much as you are constantly shooting.
I think the game can be a bit too easy. I ended the run simply because I couldn't be killed. I wasn't losing any health, and my bullets were slaughtering everything in my path. Even when I did get hit, I would regain the health almost immediately.
After a good while in I found a pretty game breaking strategy. If you hover over near the edge of the block on the right end of the room, the zombies never seem to spawn behind you. With a couple of points into the penetration and damage perks, I could mow the zombies down almost standing still, as they were funneling straight toward me. Occasionally one would spawn behind me, but it was easy enough to deal with and turn back around.
The art is great and the shooting feels very nice! I would love to see this with more levels and definitely more guns!
Thanks for the review! Really appreciate it.
There is an option to turn off screenshake in the main menu, however it might be a good idea to have it off by default.
Yeah the level design allows such things. It needs tweaking.
More guns and more levels will surely come. There are a few already in the game files, but they are not usable as for now.
a true masterpiece of a shmup, just one problem...
WE NEED SUPPORT FOR SLOWER DEVICES WHEN ON THE BROWSER DEMO! PLEASE I DONT WANNA PLAY THIS ON 2 FPS
protip get max level fire asap i got it at the end of my run as like my last upgrade and its so good
Hey Manu, this game is fire!! Congrats!! I put my 10 y.o. nephew to play it and he went crazy! Can't wait to see what you add next!
Do you mind if I ask where did you get those sick gun blazing effects?
Thanks, it means a lot! The effects are a combination of the assets listed above plus some self made stuff, and particles from the Godot engine. The sound effects are a mix of the weapon sound assets listed above. :)
Hey !
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! The game is absolutely fantastic... my nephew and I both love it! He asked me to bookmark the URL in his browser so he could show it to his friends at school. Graphics and effects are fantastic, especially the ones that show guns firing. They add a lot to the immersive gameplay experience. Is there any chance that you could share the effects assets with us? I'm working on a game project with my nephew and a friend. I know they would be thrilled to incorporate those effects into our game.... would you let me know? ❤ thx (again lol)
Total Kills: 1170. Game gets even better with progress !!
Thanks again! Might do a video tutorial on how i achieved the effects. Will then post a link to the video here :)
can't wait! thx brother, it will be my pleasure to watch it 30000 times until I get it right haha
Good upgrade system
Nice video! You played in hardmode haha. When upgrading, you can buy more than 1 powerup. You can also dash with space. I will make it more clear in future updates.
Solid game
