Bon jeux, concept intéressant, mériterais d'être fini

Bon projet mais a terminer, très bonne suite a prévoir ! A tester !

I quite liked this cute game! The art is awesome, and the levels are cool. I really like the concept of balancing the enemies you leave alive so you don't die, it's in the vein of UltraKill with a damage over time effect on. Music could use some work. I really liked the vibe it gave, it's reminiscent of music from games like Quake and Doom, and very 8 bit. The lack of variance in instruments and songs led to it feeling bland, and to me it sounds like the quality of the samples are bad. The gameplay itself was very fun. I might just be bad at games, but I sometimes had difficulty finding where I needed to go next. I think this may be due to the lack of light adding emphasis on intended paths (though the arrows were very helpful lol). I would really like there to be a mechanism that would prevent me from missing a tank along the way. This is a problem because finding it can be difficult if I haven't yet learned the design language of the levels, and also because there may be no enemies left to sustain my trip back to the missed tank. I think, if the game were longer, having a section that teaches the player what the new enemies do would be very helpful. I killed the first few corn-lobbing enemies before even knowing what threat they posed to me. As well as that, the jumping of the slime/candyball enemies seemed very odd, as they feel like the float at the top of their jump each time. I'm a big fan of how the health/sugar system was handled. Being permanently harmed when getting two damaged but still getting a grace period is a very cool mechanic. I would love to see a longer version of the game having a difficulty where you can't heal back the permanent harm until after a series of levels (like each "world"), or potentially have the damage heal back partially after each level. I also really liked the minimum mechanic, as it dissuades the player from spraying and praying into large groups of enemies. Large groups of enemies did appear to happen commonly, however, and I didn't feel like I had the tools to avoid them or get rid of them. The hitboxes of the enemies were also quite large, and I didn't feel a lot of feedback for how well I was aiming, and consequently it did end up as a spray and pray situation. Generally, I really like this game. I would love to play something like this as a full fleged Indie title at some point, as the art is awesome and the concepts are great. If I read correctly, this is a student made game, so bravo! This was quite spectacular, and miles better than I could dream up myself.
