Impressive considering you used pure js :O
I like how fast you made this game, and also, I like that you really followed the theme!

Well done! :)

Really nice! Man, I am terrible at these sorts of games though - even on easy mode I couldn't survive long! Simple, fun to play, sticks to the theme!

The game url is unreachable. Cant load ;(

I just got the highest score :) ! It's quite neat, even if classic. Job well done.

Web link doesn't seem to work for me

Cool that you used JS to make this. You deserve some sleep :')

Nice idea to get bonus becoming malus when stacked!

I would have loved that power-ups where more distinct from bullets (often ran into a bullet or dodged a power-up :) ) and to put my name on the leaderboard... But all that is details, great work!

Definitely a cool shmup game, but I found it pretty difficult? Maybe a HP bar and some iframes for the casual crowd?

Nicely done SHUMP, the controls and gameplay flow well and feel right. Super job on your entry!

P.S- Extra kudos for using only Javascript ;)

@insality @mess110 I don't know why web hosting I'm using doesn't work for some people, but here's a mirror: https://mega.nz/#!klRBgJBK!3zkKets8E747NH0hnyrNCOazT_u8cM_Guzwf2LFr9jY
You have to extract it and open index.html

Nice minimalistic design!
I always like the strategic choices that come with something that is both an advantage _and_ a disadvantage.

Speaking of the powerups, you could've just dropped a lot of them:
This wouldn't be overpowered, since each comes with the slowdown as well!
More importantly, the less players'd have to wait to get to the 'meat' of your game, the better :slight_smile:

There didn't seem to be a large difference between the modes.
Going from 'easy' to 'for weird people' seems like only slightly more than a single step should be.

Oooh, actual leaderboards ...
I guess these are the things those new half-stars are made for
(something that doesn't feel worth a _full_ extra star in and of itself, but should perhaps be rewarded anyway.)

@priweejt thank you

Its a cool game. In the beginning I detonated my bombs. That was no fun. Got over 20k score, quite challenging.

Yay, another person who decided to take a unique take on the shoot 'em up genre. Although I really enjoyed playing your game and appreciate the fact that you have an online leaderboard, I'd like to make some suggestions.
Firstly, please consider adding a description of what each power up do.
Secondly, the enemy and your character's collideable area is smaller than the actual sprite so that can get a bit confusing.
Thirdly, when I press the up or down arrow key the entire webpage scrolls up and down so I don't always have access to the UI at the top.

@priom Power ups are described in help (under items). Hitbox being smaller than sprite is intentional. It's made like this so you can't mistake your character for a bullet (or the other way around). Hitbox also becomes visible while holding shift. Regarding the scrolling problem, I guess it depends on the screen size. [Ctrl] + [-] can be used to zoom out in most modern browsers, so that may work as a workaround.
Glad you enjoyed it :)

Oh nice. Glad you had a response to all of my problems. I guess I'll try it out again XD

That was some nice and simple fun. It was really difficult though, and when I managed to get a (relatively) high score and rank 5th in the leaderboard, I was disappointed to see that I couldn't add my initials :`(

One thing I think could've made it somewhat better is if the powerups had a more unique shape. It's easy to confuse a powerup for a bullet when your screen is covered with them!

Gotta love them web games :) Nice job with this.

Challanging, simple game. I appreciate you used pure js. Well done
