Congrats on finishing your game, team! This is a wild ride
I love these big swarmy shooter things. They have so much chaos and getting that build-up is part of the charge. The charming little rolling frogs really make it stand out. And the snakes with arms are *chefs kiss*
The gameplay felt really hard, then way too easy, then back to way too hard. Getting the level going felt difficult as your firepower is lower and the enemies overwhelm you quickly. Didn't help that I didn't see the fireflies they were dropping until my 3rd or 4th attempt. I couldn't figure out why I was leveling up. Either a small glow up on those for the early moments, or a "eat flies!" flash across the screen might have helped. But once I got to about 20 frogs, it seemed to swap to just too easy. I wasn't really making any decisions, and most of the enemies felt the same except for the speedy red guys. The journey from 20 to 100 was just too long for how little I actually got to do. And then the boss at 100 comes in with little ability to dodge and cut me back down to around 20. From there it felt insurmountable because the enemies were too frequent and half my screen was a giant unavoidable snake.
I didn't beat the boss, but I couldn't imagine going back up to try again. Maybe it's just not for me. But I'm sure feel like that would be polished up with more time than 96 hours.
Still, this is an ambitious and amphibious project. I'm happy y'all made this and shared this and that I got to experience it because it's still super cool. And to be honest, I'm still trying to say more so I can have a reason to keep watching that lil frog roll on the side of my screen. Keep making games!
