Think I have some interesting additions to address this… it’s a somewhat bigger departure from my initial spec, which means substantially more to build and test before I know if it’s the right direction, but I think it’s for the best

Mechanically it’s what I planned, but it’s missing a soul… the driving force. The urgency pushing the player forward. Without that it’s just another survivor/roguelite game, and I’d really like to move away from that genre if I can for this one.

I loved puzzle bobble!

It's intimidating to try and find a unique angle for what, at it's core, is mechanically an arena twin stick shooter. Hoping to lean heavier into discovery and tone over the roguelike / survivor, but it's hard not to lean into that side for replay-ability's sake.

With this project I had a goal to make something I could sell for ~$5 and generate ~1,000 sales... but the scope has been (predictably) growing the more I explore, which has me a little nervous too

I've been shaping the visual identity and game design loop as I go, which has lead to some really exciting, organic ideas, but also a lot more jank. It's left me with a more embattled feeling about this one compared to my last 2 releases

How did you do this much in 4 days?!?!? 😮 looks awesome!

I feel this. Storytelling is evergreen. Authors have been finding ways to create meaningful new experiences for hundreds if not thousands of years at this point. People (designers and consumers) need to stop frothing at the mouth about novelty
