Super Pew-Pew by Charlie Hadden

[raw]
made by Charlie Hadden for LD28 (COMPO)
Barely finished, but it's late, I'm tired, and I won't get time to carry on working on it for the jam. Much like a typical bullet hell game, but you only get one hit point. I didn't get time to add any more patterns than what are already there, so it'll probably get very repetitive very quickly. Oh well.

Move with WASD, arrow keys, or the mouse.

Windows build I've been told works, and the linux build works for me, but your mileage may (probably will) vary.

Worked great on Windows for me. Very fluid gamepay, nice use of colour. Could have used a little sound, maybe. Fun though

Damn, that's very addictive. I'm glad to see that NOPE difficulty lives up to its name. No sound, unfortunately; this seems to be all fun, no bells/whistles. Not that I'm complaining :P
Doesn't much fit the theme, unfortunately.

Nice entry.
Can I suggest to assign the restart key to a mouse button? :D

It's funny that I've not seen this before - most bullet hell games make you press a key to shoot but there really isn't any need to. The graphics and gameplay were awesome and I probably replayed this more than any other game so far.

It might be deconstructed and minimalist, but this is a nice take on bullet hell. A pity you didn't get any sound in there.

The theme? Only one hit point? Just like it should be!

And now I'm going back for another go.

I've just uploaded new packages that fix a memory leak. That should solve the issues people have been having with it crashing after playing for a while.

Of course, as per the rules, that's the only thing the update changes.

It's difficult at times to cope with the constantly changing background color, but it was fun. I was really hoping that 'Nope' was a difficulty and not a button that closed the game. I was not disappointed. Thank you.

Nice little bullet hell. It does need more variety. The inputs seem to lag sometimes.

Would be nice with a boss or some goal other than score. More enemies would be nice also and some mechanic other than randomspawning.

The collisions are very frustrating, sometimes the bullet is just sliding on my side but I still die. Maybe they could be made slightly more forgiving? Just one more pixel maybe? :)

Apart from that, it鈥檚 nice. Fun, minimalist and addictive.

I really liked the simplicity of this game. Could have used some audio.

I liked the minimal controls but the lagging input was annoying.
