A Simple and addictive game that does a good job of drawing you in and making you want to come back and keep beating your high score. Do you have any plans to adapt it for mobile?
Love the addition of the perks and new cards I saw so far btw (e.g. 'love' and '+1 every time you use it')! I think it was also a wise decision to make the 3 bombs more expensive.
It became much harder at the start though, I might have to find a new balance there, but I have the feeling you run out of energy too soon and it's a bit too much based on luck whether you make it. However, I just played it a few times now, so maybe I'm too early with my feedback. As soon as you have a perk it becomes more manageable.
Did you remove the 'refill energy' card btw or is it just more rare now?
The 'refill energy' card seems to be one of the cards you can unlock with the 'unlocks after 3 levels' card. I miss the Refill Energy cards being in the normal pool of cards though! I agree that it makes the early game much more difficult and up to chance.
If that's where it is, they should probably tell you what card you're going to unlock. I only ever took one of those cards and then I swapped it out before it even unlocked because it was dead weight in my hand
there's a glitch where if you have the perk that shoots an extra bullet and you use the shoot 4 bullets in a row card, there will be 2 rows of shots (8 bullets) instead of 5 bullets in a row
Edit: this also happens with any other card that shoots beams of bullets
Edit: Never mind, I didn't have the perks yet, wasn't in the previous version and thought you were talking about the cards.
There is no perk 'extra bullet' I think, unless it was added in the last update. There is however 'fire next attack twice' which would behave like you explained.
Very fun game! A small error I noticed is that I got the perk that makes 1 cost bullets shoot twice, and then I lost and when I restarted, the perk was still applied starting on round 1.
it starts a bit too much after level 15. I laptop isn't dying, but its hard to play cards fast and to keep up. :) also maybe add a pause option? great game also fun!
Okay I love this game I'm just sad that my phone can't handle past level22 I had a broken build where I made the Shoot 4 X times turned into bombs and I had the card that let me play it twice. Then I just lightning bolted and I was ready to do it again XD
I got to level 56, I only stopped because my wrist was breaking haha. I had mostly triple bombs and energy refills. The problem is if you're not completely on it then it gets pretty laggy as more enemies appear. You need to destroy them quick!
I also found that the "Next shot is bouncy" combined with the quad pierce shot is pretty OP but any build needs energy refill
This game is very addictive, I played for a long time when I got the time, but it has almost nothing, and this game has the potential to have more stuff in it.
My note: 7/10 [NICE]
I really like the way we play, shoot to defeat(kill?) the enemies ahead to level up, but still they feel empty doing the same thing over and over again, but besides that I had so much fun while playing it with various options of different shots.
Love the game! Currently I have the feeling I can go on forever, but I have to do some work still so I quit :-) Might still need some balancing. I've got a bunch of Full Energies, Explosive Upgrades, Single Bombs and 9 Bullets, which proves to be quite a deadly combination. How many card slots are there in total btw? 6 as mentioned below by Kyocus?
So, 2x Energy, 2x explosive shot, 2x 9 shot. I died because I accidentally went down to 1 energy while no paying attention. I think the difficulty should ramp up more, because nothing was getting away from the edge of the screen.
Quite a good combination indeed. I found out that the single bomb sometimes helps, you can use it quickly to get rid of some frontrunners before setting up a new explosive barrage.
Are you seriously releasing a really solid gameplay, interesting, and new game every week!? This is nuts. Please tell me this is actually a backlog that you're slowly releasing. Or you're actually three developers in a trench coat a team of people. Or this is literally the only thing you do with your time (not just free time, all of it).
But... Seriously, keep it up. I'm continually impressed with your output.
A potentially nice feature for this one would be able to see the state of your overall deck when you're trading your cards - but not being allowed to trade anything but three. Though I do kinda like that "nah, you have to remember/do it by feel", and it keeps the UI less cluttered - I guess sometimes it would just be nice to have a better idea of how balanced your deck currently is.
Neat deck-building game! I like the variety of cards. Seems like there’s a good amount of strategies and types of decks you can build to deal with enemies. I only got to level 8, but I had a fun time! Great work on this!
Lovely mechanic. But I think the learning curve is waaay too steep, I am very curious to build a dynamic deck and use all the cards. But I feel like I can't reach that point because you get overwhelmed with enemies too fast. The amount of enemies is going up too fast I think. And it feels a bit frustrating that it involves a lot of waiting and that I have no influence on how fast my energy regenerates. I do think it has a lot of potential!! Very creative <3

This game is way too fun! Made it to level 55 thanks to the power of love.

agree ! the new update bring lot of new interesting mechanics but also lot of difficulty ! still a really great game tho

Super fun!!
I found a bug. If you use the freeze ability as you die, when you start a new round, enemies don't spawn
Wow! Very fun and addictive game!
Good work!

Oops thank you I will fix that ASAP
Should be fixed :)

Hey man! Great game(: I just was wondering, what music did you use in your game "Driftr"?
I wrote the music :)
Where can I find your music?
I used energy refill, the one that makes the bullets a bomb, and shoot 4 x times. I got to 62 before dying.
I got to level 56, I only stopped because my wrist was breaking haha. I had mostly triple bombs and energy refills. The problem is if you're not completely on it then it gets pretty laggy as more enemies appear. You need to destroy them quick!
I also found that the "Next shot is bouncy" combined with the quad pierce shot is pretty OP but any build needs energy refill
You should try the 9 shot with the card that says "Next attack is bouncy"
The bullets that just kill 1 enemy aren't strong enough, you need at least pierce
I know and there's a card that makes it piercing and then another card that makes it bouncy.
This game is very addictive, I played for a long time when I got the time, but it has almost nothing, and this game has the potential to have more stuff in it.

There are 8 card slots. Still working on the balance
bomb!bomb!bomb!
common kindanice w
good!! we need more content

Congrats on the RPS article!
Thank you! I found out about it from this comment, haha.
nice game
"We were this close to perfection"
so clever!
Great gameplay. I'd love to see a "curse" card where it has more power, but you don't get the guidance on where the bullet will go. :)
Very fun，Played for 2 hours and finally reached level 41

ong he's good
Haha, thanks so much! It's just me and my free time :) Planning on shifting my focus to weekly "game-sized" updates to dire decks for the next while.

I don't know how I did it but I somehow got to level 23.
how do you come up with such original fun ideas?? very fun, I played for quite a while :)
Very little nice charming game, wish there was a way to pause and view all of your current cards tho. Otherwise, I’m hooked :D
Is there a way to not change cards?
i like this game a lot! it just needs a pause button
Take my like 👍

Appreciate it! I did a quick balance patch today which should address some of this :)
