Minimalism


Game mechanics

With only 8 directional movement and a single action button we achieved a deep gameplay experience:
  • Proximity damage multiplier: The closer you get, the harder you hit.
  • Charge attack: Stop shooting to charge, shoot to unleash the an attack that cleans bullets in it's way.
  • Parry: Press the shoot button right before getting hit to parry.
  • Parry dash: After a successful parry, keep the shoot button pressed for a short invulnerability time and speed boost.
  • Damage proration: On hit, the player activates a shield that lowers the next hits damage.

Graphics

We created a visually pleasing look inspired by flat principles.
  • No HUD: We replaced the traditional HUD by other indicators such as screen shakes, sound effects, color effects. Now the player will be more focused on the fast paced action.
  • Random generated backgrounds: Every time the game starts a new background will be generated. All backgrounds are carefully designed with colors and shapes that will surprise the player senses every time.

It's a good game for the price tag. The music is great and the game looks very good. Controls are decent and there are a few unfair difficulty spikes (luckily you don't have to play all the levels in order) but I would reccomend it for such a small price.

Avoid. This is garbage. Dev can make shapes, but has no clue about control schemes or controllers.

This is generally a good game. PROS: 1. Unique and challenging bosses 2. Leaderboards that make you want to complete the game 3. Minimalistic style 4. Simpilistic boss fights. Hard, but not complicated to make you understand and study every single stage and shot that makes the game annoying. 5. A large variety of bullets that each have different powers that change the gameplay of every boss in many different ways. CONS: 1. Game frequently fails to register scores and makes you restart the game just to play one level 2. Menu is confusing for those who just bought the game 3. Bosses have too little health to add a lot more playtime. 2 suggestions that i would add is to add something like a boss rush: a sequence of bosses that each have unique firing stages. The 2nd one would be is to let the game allow you to keep playing with an unknown score. On the bottom of the screen could be a note that you have to restart your game to get your scores for each of the bosses. TLDR: 8/10. Minim...

I've got some issues on windows, no really sure if they are my own problems related with windows or graphics card related or driver related but I know it is Linux target game and windows secondary so I don't complain at all but I'm not able for the moment to run it on linux not for a game issue but for personal issue on linux related with graphics card so consider it as a really good shooter hell game and I do recomend it and I'm as well happy with the philosophy of "free as freedom" and I encourage you to continue its development and I'd like to colaborate on developing so I'll do a chanse for it.
