Cute, simple game with a solid core loop! I would've loved to see even bigger and faster waves of enemies as time goes on, though, since the challenge was more or less gone already when I had both gun and coil at level 2. Music got a little bit repetitive, but not enough that it was annoying.
Well done! I couldn't help but get all of the upgrades. Felt pretty overpowered after a few waves, but it was also fun to walk around melting enemies for a while. :D
@sleepymenace Thanks so much for playing and for your thoughts! The balance DEFINITELY needs some work, and Laika loves you too. :heart:
@blandprix I definitely lost some time to just walking around with everything tuned up and clearing tons of enemies. It's no wonder this genre is so satisfying. :smile: I couldn't find an entry from you for this year, am I looking in the wrong place?
Interesting game, I feel like the Tesla Coil wepaon is much more powerful than the other one ! Nice effort on the graphics and polishing, too. Good job !
I quite enjoyed the simplicity and the relaxed nature of the game. The auto-fire Tesla pack thing was a breath of fresh-air! I loved not having to worry too much about aiming for once!
Some tips:
Faster player movement! Was very slow! Compensate by increasing the difficulty if needed
Tesla gun was great but was available at the start and it made me lazy, maybe make player earn it first
Loved the graphic style here, but sound needed more work
Nice entry! I played until I got all the upgrades. It did not feel really challenging though as I went straight for damage. I never needed the backpack, nor the oxygen one.
I felt the dog movement could use some speed improvement upgrade! It felt a bit sluggish. The increase in enemy across time is nice, they could also become faster.
@dhim Thank you! It is definitely in desperate need of better balancing. Believe it or not, it felt significantly worse 2 hours before the deadline. :sweat_smile: Fully agreed that the player speed could use an upgradeable item, something we wanted to do but ran out of time for. :sob: Appreciate the feedback!
@pete-thorne Glad you appreciated the more relaxed nature of the game! Definitely something we sought as a departure from the genre. Overall speed is definitely something we wanted to address in terms of player and scaling enemy difficulty, but time is a cruel mistress. Godot high-five! :tada:
I really love the art direction and the concept of this game! But as others have mentioned, the movement is a bit slow for my taste. Overall, though, nice job!
I love the artwork! It looks very professionally drawn! It was a fun game but I will have to join the rest of the pile complaining about how slow the pace of the game is. That felt like a painfully slow walking doggo haha
Really nice job! I love the aesthetic, very Jetsons which was great, right down to the UI elements! As others have mentioned, it played like a Vampire Survivors type game which was a lot of fun. It was for sure slow to move around which caused some frustration but it wasn't too difficult so it didn't get too bad. I will also say I loved the small touch of the UI fading away as you blast back to your ship. Great job!
I really liked the aesthetic of this game, it was very pleasing and cohesive. To me it felt like a Vampire Survivors clone but everything was a little too sluggish and unresponsive. Additionally, it was a little unclear how the Oxygen system worked in terms of losing and gaining it.
Love the art so much! I found the game too slow, I feel like speeding it up and adding feedbacks (sounds, explosions, animations, etc.) would greatly improve the game!
I loooove the retro cartoon styled art in this -it looks amazing!! At first the player felt waaay too slow but as I played it I really liked it! Being able to jet pack back to safety at any time was a really cool risk/reward mechanic that kept me pushing for more bolts to spend! Music was great too! Really fun, well polished game! -excellent work!!! :D
What a great art style! Very The Jetsons-esque i love it.
Solid loop as well i absolutely wanted to keep playing to get more purchases and do better each time.
Theres room for impovement on the feedback side i think some form of effect/sprite on the enemies dying/being hit with projectiles would have gone a long way in really making it feel that much more satisfying.
The general speed of the game felt very slow to where it was a bit frustrating slogging around.
Terrific work I think the inclusion of the purhcases loop was ingenious for the game jam in extending the playtime in a fun and engaging way.
Art style was nice, and the vampire survivors gameplay was well done, however I felt sooo slow at the start it was really hard to want to keep going, I'm sure you can get upgrades for that later, but it would be nice to be a little quicker from the start. Nice work!
I really liked the art style and how it mimicked the jetsons vibe. I also liked the atmosphere and the game loop seemed fun. My main concern was just how slow your character moved, and It didn't seem super apparent where the 10 seconds was included.
I really liked the art style! Super unique. As far as gameplay, once I'd bought like 2 or 3 upgrades, it was a walk in the park. Which is fine, as I'm sure Laika loves walks in the park. It was a lot of fun though, thanks for sharing!
I loved the color palette and artstyle. I wish the doggo's movement speed could be upgraded, since with this speed, it's hard to use the Ray Gun to its max potential. I was walking mostly backwards, away from the enemy rather than towards them until I had more Tesla Coil upgrades.
Great entry, thanks for making it! I enjoyed playing and tinkering with it! 10/10 points for doggo!
Really nice game overall, I love the little dog!

Check out my jam game!

Godot user? Nice.

THe graphics are very nice!
