the music is a bit much (the volume is quite loud) but is a great choice when it comes to atmosphere.
The ideia is very good, art are beautiful and sound is cool!
The bubble/helmet is so cute.
For some reason, I can't see the game over the screen, so I never know how many points I have scored.
Nice work :smiley:
I really loved the graphics, especially Diver herself. Music is also quite cool.
Gameplay is totally fine and feels polished. There is a nice variety of enemy behavior, which really adds some meat to the game. I only met one bit of a bug with pickups - sometimes they just don't react, and you have to swim over them a few times before our heroine actually picks it up. And I wished I had a health bar or something to that effect.
The boss cheats and does not take damage until he fully reveals himself. It was surprising. But I forgave him - after all, he (she, it?) is the THE BOSS :wink:
Incidentally, we called our game "Catlantis". Great minds think alike :laughing:
Great quick game, enjoyed the different enemy types. The air bubble as the health mechanic is a cool twist on it. My only suggestion is turn up the speed of play.
The item spawns felt a bit too unpredictable, but other than that this is quite a solid entry. ¡Great job everyone!
You have a real good variety of enemies and I like how its not just scrolling right, but down, this is very different from usual bullethells and works great!
After clawing my way around the many different sea animals and finally puncing the gategeeper, I eventually managed to reach this long-rumoured gradle of cat-civilization. The music here is rocking hard and after you get to know the sometimes aggressive sea animals, you can start enjoying their beauty.
Altogether enjoyable trip down here, wish you join me down here soon enough!
PS. Remember your cat-helmet can use the bombs with shift. It wasn't included in the manual and took me few tries to figure out!
The life counter in the bottom left seems to be broken unfortunately, it always showed 2 (instead of 7 :P)
