PyWeek - Orcses - feedback

Fun! It looks great and it has a nice variety of enemies and power-ups (though I wasn't always sure what each power-up did). Nice work.

Interesting! I like the mechanic of finding the dark matter a lot. It seemed easier to sit in the corner and fire tracers randomly, but I tried to do it the right way, and it was certainly more fun. The action was pretty overwhelming but the large amount of health made it manageable. The one part that felt a little unfair was how close I had to get to the edge of the screen before it would start scrolling, so I couldn't really see what was coming up. The bosses were fun. Once I got the hang of it I made it through 2 sectors.

The game does have a certain polish but due to using a fixed sized window for a mouse heavy game when I accidentally moved the mouse outside of the game window caused issues. breaking illusion. furthermore the button mapping did not make much sense why not space for "accelerate". and numbers for "weapons". Clearly a lot of effort did go into the game though

Nice game! I had several minutes of pure shmupping pleasure. I appreciated having enough shield or heatlh to see a good chunk of the game. I wish I could have finished it. The controls took quite a bit of getting used to; having to orient the ship to move and also to shoot - basically moving and shooting in the direction you are facing - is always a bit hard on my brain. The SFX were great and provided good solid feedback; the music was cool. A very nice entry.

I had an unhandled exception when my ship was destroyed. Here it is for your debugging pleasure:

Nice gam

Well done, have not overcome any boss yet. Navigation takes a bit of practice.

I liked the visuals and general art style. I had some issues with the text clipping into each other.

Good one!

Nice Game

Nice shooter game to build in a week
maybe a more complex tool to locate the dark matter?
i just fired lasers to every direction

Amazing, complete and well reflecting the theme. The ship was a bit slow and the dark matter gravity pits could have been more disastrous on impact especially for the enemies.

Pretty cool little game.

Cool game guys! The mechanics were pretty fun and I liked all the extras with blackholes pushing you around and everything. The graphics looked really cool, I liked the boss ship art. Good choice of sounds and music for a polished experience!

-A lot of stuff happening on screen
-Had some issues with the score label moving around weirdly

Fun little game! I played for a while but there didn't seem to be a "win" condition or maybe I didn't play long enough, but if there is one it wasn't clear

Tried both Linux executable and running python via command line. Unfortunately both attempts ended up freezing pretty early on into the game so I didn't have a chance to fully test
