Game looks really neat.

Cheers Gerwancik, thanks for checking it out!

Cheers Gerwancik, thanks for checking it out!

I really like this, gameplay is brutal but addictive and the graphics and sound are perfect, great work.

Cheers Let'sGetCooking, it's banging to hear that another person enjoyed this!

I really can't gage the difficulty anymore - desensitised by too much development. It should be fair and deterministic. Every combat is a small puzzle that can mostly be solved in different ways. The enemies exhibit predictable behaviour. And then you act accordingly and blam away at, blow up, straight-up murder the enemy troopers...

 Thanks again for taking this game for a spin and getting in touch. Boss! How did you discover the game?

A very visually appealing game. I can hardly bet against games that look so interesting.

Hey, thanks for the kind words and taking it for a spin. There are loads of impressive titles out there. Also ones by hobbyists. (And it's not a zero sum equation.) Thanks for the comment, really.

Sorry nmodern, quick question: how did you discover the game?

Saw it on the Discord! Your work caught my eye. I dig deep into #project-promotion

Great game, Hawkwork. The aesthetics and sound were spot on, and the gameplay mechanics were a fantastic idea. It was challenging, but it wasn't so hard that I didn't want to continue. I'm pretty sure I played all of the levels because it looped back to the first one. My only gripe with it was that the webpage scrolled every time I pressed the down and up arrow keys, and I had some difficulties on the title screen getting the game to play. I would definitely find a way to freeze website controls while the game is in focus if you decide to flesh this game out further. Other than that, I was very pleased with the experience. Amazing work!

Cheers. Thanks for pointing out those issues, I will address them. There are a few other things I'm aware of also. There will be a post jam update.

There needs to be some balancing and a little more variation also. Corners were cut...

I totally understand. I think we all had to cut some corners, haha! However, I'll keep a lookout for your future updates after the contest results are in. I had fun playing this. :)

I found a way to fix the scrolling bug. Added some more different enemies also. But there are still a lot of bugs, I'm afraid.

That's awesome to hear. The scrolling bug was the most important one to fix in my opinion, so I'm glad that you were able to get it taken care of. I'll have to try this one out again once you're able to get a little more done on it. 🙂
