Really love the designs of all the enemies!
Thank you! Great video <3
Awesome shmup! Art, music and sound all merge together in a kinda unique feel. Letting go off the fire button and seeing a swarm of coins rush towards you feels quite satisfying. Never felt I died cheaply, which means good design. Variety of weapons, in-game pickup choices, and then the shop to top it all off. I found the game a bit unforgiving at first (and especially stingy with health) but quickly got used to it, feels like a fair challenge over all.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you're enjoying the game <3
I would recommend zipping the executables so the size is smaller to download. Other than that looks like a fun game!
Hi BB, not sure where to post this, my boss rush score hasn't uploaded to the online leaderboard, can anything be done to fix this?
Any chance you could join the discord to chat about this?
Hey thanks for getting back to me BB, yeah sure I'll drop you a message :)
can you add a rank meter, I would like to know how hard the game is. also, could you PLEASE make health a tiny bit less rare (chance to drop from champion enemies or something like that)
Thanks for the suggestions. I've been thinking about adding a rank graph for a while so I'll add it to the todo list.
what do you think about the health idea, hp is just sooo rare right now
will there be a story?
No story mode, no. Not my forte, I'm afraid.
not what I meant, I was wondering if there would be story to the game like lore and maybe endings (like TBOI level story)
There are two different endings based on how many levels you have completed, but it's pretty basic stuff admittedly :)
ah
Great game! Gameplay, music and graphics are all really well done.
Thank you!
