The more you hit, the stronger the projectile.\nI also enjoyed destroying the trash. There's something useful about it.\n\nOut of five runs, my best was level 17.\n\nIt's a shame they didn't have time to implement elemental leveling. Then the progression would have been even better!\nThanks for the game, you're great.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1204144,"author_name":"ManTou","author_uid":"mantou","epoch":1776851915,"text":"This review does not really say much, so I think the Ludum Dare website might have a bug.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1204214,"author_name":"ManTou","author_uid":"mantou","epoch":1776853172,"text":"This is a rhythm shooting game with a very beginner-friendly tutorial, and the music is really good.

The game itself could be more polished - better UI - especially in tutorial - the text was fading out too quickly (had to restart the game to actually get to know how to play).

We\u2019re really glad you enjoyed the music and found the tutorial beginner-friendly.\n\nThe issue with enemies getting stuck is likely due to our current obstacle setup making objects \u201cfeel\u201d bigger than they actually are, so enemies can get blocked. We\u2019ll definitely improve the algorithm and fix that.\n\nAnd yeah\u2026 the banana peels and plastic bottles do feel a bit off in terms of the environmental message \ud83d\ude05 We\u2019ll work on refining the enemy design to better match the theme.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1208364,"author_name":"Zhong Zhengchao","author_uid":"zhong-zhengchao","epoch":1776925577,"text":"@yarcha Thanks so much for the feedback! \nAnd wow, level 17 is seriously impressive \u2014 our own best during testing was only around level 11 haha.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1208372,"author_name":"YurisCat","author_uid":"yuriscat","epoch":1776926099,"text":"Really educational game! The trees block the view a bit, and monsters can get stuck on objects in the level. It might just be me, but the audio and visuals feel slightly out of sync. Overall though it's pretty fun.
