Ranked from 21 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
Theres a calm phase where its easier to collect coins, and a "storm" phase, where enemies swarm you, making it difficult to collect coins.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code and made the sound effects.
I suck at art and have never done music, so the level pixel art is from a free asset pack in the Unity Store, and the music is from OpenGameArt.org

Very neat little game. I think I would have liked an indicator to know which direction the enemies were coming from, but overall I had, good work!

Developer

I agree. The intention with one of the upgrades was to point in the direction enemies spawned, towards nearest enemy or something similar.

Another guy also suggested zooming out the camera a bit, which I like more.

Submitted

That was really fun, the sound effects were pretty funny

Thank you

Nice little game, I've always enjoyed these little top down survival style games. Good work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you, I feel like our games sort-of had that in common :D

Submitted

good little game, i like it.  

Developer(+1)

Very fun, easy to understand and play.  Good Job.

Developer

Thank you :)

really fun game, i ended up playing multiples times. Maybe there should be a limit to coin spawns per wave because i was able to keep collecting coins on wave 1 while keeping an enemy alive and bought like the whole shop ahah. But it was very fun playing, well done !!

Developer(+1)

Thank you :)

It spawns 1 coin per second, so if you need more upgrades to pass next round, you pay for it with the time you spend running around. If you dont need as many coins, you can complete levels faster. I see it as a "pick your own difficulty/pace" system :P

aaah i see, well in that case that's pretty clever yeah. good game !

This voice acting is crazy, and the basic shapes were an interesting approach to graphics lol. Good attempt at creating a game like vampire survivors!

Developer

Thank you :)

Submitted

really good stuff, I played it many times. Great work!

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad to hear that :)

The voice acting was so good that when I typed to give some compliments about the voice when you get powered up(and yes I typed the whole "oh yeah...") I got a temporary ban =)))

Developer

Thank you XD

Submitted

Really fun survival-like concept! I appreciate that the readability is very high, and the graphics still look very nice. Loved the upgrade options :D  

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it :)

I wasn't expecting the voice acting :D

Submitted

Very fun and addicting, positioning the camera a bit further a way would awesome

Developer(+1)

Thank you.

I briefly considered moving the camera away at one point, since enemy spawns feel very sudden if they come from above you while you're moving upwards, so I may play around with that.
