Pretty awesome controls, however you're simultaneously punished for being slow (with snake spawning) and punished for being too fast with enemy crowding.
Thanks for the feedback! I think I need to make some simpler levels to communicate some of the mechanics better rather than just throwing everything at the player simultaneously. The gametes spawn from the phallic looking enemy when you're in range of them so you're incentivized to kill them first. I do a really bad job of showing this to the player
Personally I understood what the gametes spawn from, but to be able to kill the spawners I'd have to waddle through the corpses which all suck the HP out of me, so it's hard to get to them before they start spawning a lot of gametes.
O.K. thank you bro. I'll look at reducing the spawn rate or number of spawners in the scene. I posted a new build where corpses dealing damage was fixed among other things ( there's still hit feedback but it deals 0 damage)
Nice this was very good game i liked a lot and the right lick slow move nice and great music too well done keep it up!
Thanks bro I'm glad you liked it. Hope you check out some future updates when its less buggy
