Decent game. Rated. Thanks for help. Good luck to ya mate.

Very nice little game, it has cool game feel with very simple and very few elements, which is not easy. Not sure about the theme, but enjoyed it :).

Interesting little game. Like how you have to charge each shot, adds an element of tactics and makes you think about how you're gonna shoot. Pop on over and give ours a look and rate if you get the chance :)

The background is a bit disorientating, especially when moving up or down. I like how the charge beam feels fun to use.

Hrmm. It's a stretch to fit the concept in with the theme. While yes, the more gold you have, the harder the game gets, as far as I can tell it is your only option to get to the next level. We did our jam in 72 hours so I can't imagine how hard the 48 hour one is, I just think the concept could be fleshed out a little more. With some more polish though it could be a decent game so keep at it.

Good fun little game, good potential for further development too! Some feedback I'd give includes: I don't think the run button is necessary, just run all the time? at the end of the level, the buttons fading in means you can't click them for a while, which is a bit frustrating. after about level 11, when the end of level screen comes up, all the text starts flickering on the "home or continue?" screen? also, i'm not sure what XP and levelling up is for? I couldn't tell if it was having any effect? I felt a little cheated at the end, I must say, since I played long enough to gain >3k gold, pressed the button and it just threw all my money away for no reward? Seems a bit cruel! but yes, ultimately, neat game :)

PS. your game is distrubuted as a .RAR file, but I think most people don't have tools installed to open these, I'd recommend .ZIP! I had to download 7Zip to open this :)

Thank you all for playing my game and for the amazing feedback!!

Leveling was supposed to unlock new weapons in a store that you could then unlock with the gold you have, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time to implement the store :(.

It seems that the font I used sometimes glitches and becomes unreadable, I'll see if I can find a new font.

My sincere apologies for the cruel 3K button :sweat_smile: :joy: , since there was no shop I felt like I needed at least something for the player to work towards.

Again, thanks for all the feedback and a wonderful day to all of you!!!

That is difficult ! When I played the first wave : "Okay, that is challenging", when I saw the second wave : "Oh my ! Stop ! Please let me live a little more !!" x) Be sure making a crescent difficulty next time x) The concept is quite good though, but it would have been cool if it was explained in game, because that is complicated to guess that by nowhere. (and it lacks sounds)

But anyway ! That is a cool game ! Keep coding !

Big plus for lasers. Good movement and shooting, killing hordes of enemies is always fun. Difficulty progression is a bit slow, and the vertical stripe background makes it hard to track vertical movement. Fun solid top down shooter!

Transitions between levels are very slick, but a bit too slow.

The transitions between waves are too slow.

Fun little game, very glad the font isn't Arial haha. I like the risk reward mechanics with the gold but I think upgrades would have made it more fun.

Pretty solid game! There are some game design reflections I would like to bring; if there is no reason not to gain move speed using shift, why should I not press it? That's an input that creates no interesting choices or game complexity, same goes for playing with zoom in. Overall, that gambit concept works well, nice job!

Good concept and polished game!

Here are some suggestions for you:
- It seems no need for sprint key because you will almost always sprint to dodge the bullets.
- The background has no horizontal hint, which makes the vertical movement not obvious.
- The game definitely needs sound effects :)

Good job!

I found the hold-and-release-to-shoot controls kind of tedious in the beginning, but I got used to it pretty quickly. I agree that the sprinting mechanic is pretty redundant at the moment, but maybe you can make it work by adding another gameplay element? Gameplay isn't too complex at the moment, so there's definitely room for expansion. Visually, it could be a little more polished, but the UI is really beautiful. And of course, realistically this would need some stereotypical laser sounds, and some overly intense music when the waves start ;)
Overall, solid entry -- you kept it simple, and that's good. I'd rather play a simple but fun game than a half-finished complex one. Nice work!

It is good simple idea. But this blue text "wave n.." is little bit anoying. And text blinks at wave 5-7.

Unfortunately, I could not play due to .rar file format. It would be nice to have a .zip as well.

@turbulentwinds Thanks for letting me know, I never realised that that may be an issue. Can't get to my PC at the moment but I'll upload a .zip as soon as I can!

Hi, nice little game ! I tried to get the 3K gold but it took a little bit too long :). I think you should make the game a bit more difficult because it didn't really get harder as I earned more and more gold. A grid pattern for the floor would also be nice because I didn't understood I could move freely on the vertical axis. The laser shooting mechanic is funnier than I expected ! Good job !

Gameplay was nice and fresh/challenging. Could be a very good game with polished graphics and soundeffects.

A simple game with obvious execution problems, but it gets the point. I cleared the first wave, and when the second started i got literally swarmed by enemies that crushed me. Can't advance beyond that point.

The gameplay is ok, gets a bit dull after a while. It's fun to try to line up the enemies and kill more than one at a time. Really liked the GUI!
