-Everything written here has some amount of bias from me-

I got through a few rounds, I thought it was kind of fun. One game it really reminds me of is geometry wars. I really liked that game, so that nostalgia might score bonus points for some people.

  • The weapons felt good, but some of them didn't work properly, so that was a little annoying. I think it was the sniper(Not sure) that just didn't work. I tried to replicate this on a separate instance, but I couldn't figure what happened.
  • The difficulty scale is a little weird, I thought that it should be more linear.
  • The enemies and their AI felt a little basic, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. 
  • If you made the map more interesting, I would enjoy this more. If you had blockers, that could slow down the AI and make the game a little easier. That's just preference tho

Thank you for playing and for your feedback!

What exactly happen with sniper weapon? Did it shoot but not making contact with enemies?

Adding full solid obstacles would add a whole new layer of complexity into enemies ai. I deliberately choose not to add them to cut through basics faster. But perhaps adding blockers only for bullets would make gameplay more interesting. I'll experiment with that if I have time!

The sniper weapon just wouldn’t fire, and it only happened one instance of the game. Also yeah the blockers for the bullets was kinda what I was thinking. Purely just food for thought since your probably working on other aspects.

Hello, i tested it for a few rounds and thats my first impression so far on whats there:

Its solid, but the last 2 rounds are pretty hard since they swarm you from all sides and you don't get room to breathe.

The Sniper is really good early when there are only the big ones

The Scatter is great for the small ones

I didn't like using the Pulse, not enough room for that in my opinion. Sniper one shots and Scatter kills the small ones really well.

The switching Weapon with Q/E works, but it does not work with 1-3

Also the small ones are pretty op :D

Well, all your feedback pretty much maps into how I felt about this build - I appreciate it!

Yeah, the Scatter is intended to be the anti-swarm weapon. Great to know I hit the right point

Huh, ok I guess I need to rework the pulse. Or maybe not, it's supposed to be the default starting weapon

Yes, for some reason 1-3 don't work in web build. I'll fix it in future versions

Would you like to try new builds?
