LudumData

Ghost Arena! by thiagowaw

[raw]
made by thiagowaw for LD35 (COMPO)
Hello!
This is my first ludumdare Solo and ended up spending a bit of scope. xD

About the game:


The idea is a endless battle, you dont die.

It is a rackinslash where you only use the mouse , clicking the left button to give dash.
You should give dash towards your enemies to kill them .

You can increase the level , killing a certain amount of enemies! (This will increase the speed of your dash)


Commands:
Left Click = Dash

Well, here's my contribution , I hope you enjoy .
Please let feedback and suggestions.

Try get the final level! :D

tried it, looks great but the gameplay... i got score of 100, and there is nothing after it. the ghost doesnt become harder or something.

Looks cool, feels cool. Ocasionally i had to click twice to get it move. I was expecting some sound, and any progress, but got nothing. Still it was fun for some time.

Doesn't fit in embed properly. Score can go negative, not sure if that is deliberate or not. looks good.

Fun! Not much replayability, but the initial play was nice. The controls are rough to get used to, but worth it to get the hang of! The art is splendid, nice light/glare effects. Nice work :)

It's a fun fight! I keep getting my butt kicked because I dashed to kill one ghost and his buddy ambushed me when my dash ended. It took a while to master the art of attacking more than one ghost at a time.

Pretty graphics, too.

I assume the way your guy changes as you eat more ghosts was how you fit the "shapeshift" theme in?

its nice, i liked the graphics, it gets repetitive after awhile maybe if you layer some other mechanics , like more dangerous enemies that shot or stuff you cant dash into.
and add sound too.
overall its cute i liked what you did there with the theme.

The art looks good. The fire and that other ghost/water thing is good animated. The mechanics needs improvement

Not bad~ Definitely has nice art and promising gameplay, although the lack of content made it really repetitive really fast.

It's fun and looks very cool. I'd have added some kind of variation to the main mechanic when you change form so it has more variation. Good work!

Enemies spawning on top of you makes it really hard. Dig the art though!

Simple and clever, could be expanded in a lot of ways!
Good job and thanks for the desktop build! <3

Good result for your first LD! Scope can be tricky to figure out, but you'll get better the more you jam :)

The gameplay is fun, although is's a little bit off-theme. What's more, I'm expecting the Boss.lol

It is a funny game but it feels a little repetitive to me. The art is nice and the gameplay/mechanics simple.
I miss a little more challenge, it woul be interesting if you could die. I like also the fast gameplay.

If after life means fighting flame ghosts forever, this must be hell ha ha !
A little pointless, but who cares ? It's working, and that's not bad for a first LD ! :)

It gets really repetitive but still had a nice feel to it if the controls were touched up a bit
