Tiny Terrors by MichaelShollaj

[raw]
made by MichaelShollaj for Ludum Dare 56 (JAM)

In Tiny Terrors, you play as a ghostly being fighting off waves of adorable yet deadly zombie enemies! With just your mouse, you'll take on endless waves of bunny zombies, teddy bear zombies, and creepy jack-in-the-box zombies. The goal? Survive, destroy, and collect as many skeletons as possible to increase your level and spawn new ghosts with different powers.

Gameplay Highlights:

Right-click to spawn ghosts that automatically attack zombies. Left-click to dash at enemies and take them down yourself. Every enemy killed drops skeletons that help you level up. As you level up (Level 10, 20, 30, etc.), new ghosts with unique abilities join your army. High-score-based gameplay: See how many waves you can survive and try to top the leaderboard! It's a quick, addictive game made in under 3 days for Ludum Dare 56. Do you have what it takes to master the mouse and become the ultimate ghostly champion?

I really like your game, interesting gameplay, a little challenging and certainly not boring. Graphics and music create a good atmosphere, nice job :)

Thanks for the feedback :) hp was taken because I made it that when player collides with enemy, he loses health, but I should've made longer the invincible after dashing

I had one game that stopped spawning enemies and had to restart it. But it is a fun game mechanic, controls feel good, and it is wel polished given the time frame. Good job!

Very fun little game although like someone already pointed out sometimes I don't know why I got damaged and I personally had trouble understanding how many ghosts I can spawn and when I can spawn new ones again.

Nice Game. I really like the concept of controlling the character with the mouse. Feels new for me but already intuitive. The Only weird thing was fast turning while leaving the mouse in one spot.

Thanks for the feedback :) yes it is my mistake, I should have add invincible in health after player dashing, but unfortunately I didn't, but I appreciate the feedback :DD

And yes when player is in the middle of mouse starts to flip quite fast left and right xD my fault

Awesome game. I like that it's a vampire survivor like where you control your character a bit more active.
Keep up the good work :blush:

The mood feels right, I like survivals. The attacking mechanic is interesting. But the concept feels shallow. You could have explored further to suit the theme in a more comprehensive way.

The movement and combat is very satisfying. I would have love a bit move variety with the enemies or the level. Great job! :)

Really satisfying game feel and I like that you combined the theme with some seasonal Halloween stuff. Really fun

fun game! i liked the swift attacks and lots of action here :)
in my first run i summoned 4 ghosts at the start and couldn't summon any more until i died (that was level 18 or so). is this by design or is there any mechanics that i missed?
i also wish to have a clearer indication of getting hit, maybe animation or so, as right now i can hear there is a sound, but you can miss it behind the music. and in my second run the music stopped around level 19.
i also accidentally clicked on an upgrade while clicking on the enemies х) maybe giving a slight pause before you can click on an upgrade would be nice!
overall everything was cool and neatly done :)

Hello, thanks for playing and for the feedbacks :)) and yes, there are only 4 ghosts that we can spawn, and when we reach level 10, and if we select the magic button, we can spawn 8 red ghosts that have new ability that can dash to enemies, while at level 20, if we choose magic again, we can spawn 16 black ghosts, that can shoot with projectiles at enemies :)) and yes, when I was working on it in the beginning, the bear was with walking and hit with player with animation, but the game was a bit easy, while the jack in the box zombie enemy, I made him threw bombs, but was having some problems with animations, time was running out because I did it alone, so I decided to do just following at player :// but thanks for playing :DD
