Pretty good
This game was pretty good. At first I was thinking "Jeez just another game that is way too easy." But then more and more enemies appeared and I realized this actually got difficult. Good job on the game!
And to MetalFrog77: You can reach the upper level by wall jumping up there. Just press up on the wall a few times.
too easy
I like the cute graphics but the game was way too easy and felt pointless. There was like zero challenge until around 10 minute mark when there was some challenge but not much and the game really picks up at around 12 minute mark. But even then you are maxed out and just sitting in a corner holding X and watching everything die and it starts to lag when too many gems fly out.
Great that you made this in 2 weeks, but did you guys skip play testing? Having to play 10 minutes until any challenge is provided makes the replay value zero. The game felt pointless and a waste of time. The good looking graphics are this games only save.
Pretty cool
Only problem is that the upper level cant be reached, other then that it's pretty good
Needs some work
Game feels a bit unfinished, the mechanics are fun, like the way you get upgrades.
After a while of playing, a lot of mobs spawn, and with gems popping out of them like crazy, the game slows down heavily (and I have a decent machine)
I also got annoyed that gems would disappear if more than x gems were on the screen, with the number of mobs in my way, I hardly was able to pick anything up because as I was getting closer to some gems to pick them up and blasting mobs on the way, new gems would pop out and fly away from me, and the ones I was after disappear. I know you can use the magnet to get gems to come to you, but even then, before they come to me, they disappear from the massive amounts of gems flying all over the place.
Also, it took me a while to understand the point of the game, at first I thought I was suppose to complete the level somehow. Only later did I figure out it was sort of a never ending thing.
I think you this game would be more fun if it was made into more of a side scroller with levels you need to complete, using the same mechanics developed here, as I liked how you get upgrades.
Decent
Two main problems I have with the game.
First: No preloader. Make a blank page that shows me how much info my computer has downloaded. It can be a dynamic text box that shows how many bytes I've loaded.
Second: the top parts of the level are un-reachable. Powerups spawn up there, but i cannot reach it.
Suggestions:
Weapon upgrades? the enemies spawn at a rate that is enoguh to turn the game into a cluster fuck by minute 3 and the normal gun just dosent cut it anymore after that. also, perhaps an aiming system? maybe make the gun controled by the mouse vs the keyboard?
Wall jumps.
