thank you everyone for your kind comments on my 1st ever jam.
i've been using shmup creator for over a year now and it's the best piece of software i've ever bought!
big shout out to all the guys and gals on the SC discord channel too, top notch support, wouldn't have been able to make a game like this without it
Really awesome game, the visuals are stunning, the lights and laser effects are impressive, i like them a lot, the feel of the game is awesome, i really like it, i hope you can make complete game after the jam, Im sorry i couldnt comment before on this game, i had no time, its a cool game
thanks!
i like that you would want a full game of this, and maybe in the future i would make a full game of a similar type, but for now i have to return to finishing my main game CollidEscape, a hand drawn twin stick shooter!
i do have another boss rush game that i did prior to this called Deca-Destruct, which i did primarily to learn bullet patterns, i also had fun with the soundtrack, which i won't spoil for you in case you play it?
oh, good luck with the jam!
amazing game! super fun and i rarely rate games 5 stars for fun
the controls were tight! and the game was very polished! and the music was amazing!
i like how you added enemies even tho it's a boss rush jam! bold move ;)
the games feels like a full game tbh but you can add more bosses maybe
yes you're right about the smaller enemies, prob shouldn't have put them in, but what the heck dude!
This is definitely one of the most fun games in the entire jam (in my opinion). The boss designs, both aesthetically and mechanically, are excellent. I loved all the art in general, and the music is a solid 10/10. The mechanic of being able to shoot in different directions is original, and using the laser is really satisfying. It’s also great that there’s a leaderboard to compete, encouraging players to improve their scores. My game also has a leaderboard, but only in the desktop version—I still haven’t figured out how to make it work in the web version. Either way, an excellent game. I gave it an almost perfect score. Hopefully, more people rate it before the jam ends because this game truly deserves it.
thank you very much.
to be fair, the leaderboard is an automatic part of a SHMUP CREATOR build.
sorry i didn't try your game in time but there's SO many.....
i'll have a go anyway
hey your game is really good!
i wasn't very good at it but i love the whole idea, with charming graphics and great sound.
good use of the spin theme.
i especially like it when you get hit that the music slows down, nice touch!
i'm afraid i haven't as yet been able to kill any boss, but i'm still trying
Those Blend Modes Bro! This game deserves way more ratings!!!
Rated! ;)
Thank you, if you check out and rate mine as well!
All the best! ;)
ok, i was just about to try your game when i noticed the file was named shitfinity and i became suspicious, so i haven't tried it yet?
can you confirm for me please that this is your game spinfinity
Don't worry about it, the name was intentional! I got overwhelmed when I realized I wouldn't be able to submit it on time or would have to do so without testing. :D I named it that way myself - gave it my all! ;)
Would have loved to try the game, but it just scaled my screen size down and crashed instantly after spamming my console when running it through WINE. Probbably just a linux bug, but still sad :C
not linux compatable as far as i know, sorry about that
Really fun game! love the concept and the visuals/VFX with it!
(PS: If you're willing to I'd love it if you can rate and leave some feedback on my game! This is my first ever jam and I'd love to see where I can improve for the future!)
After the early versions, I played the latest version again. It has been very good. The three lasers when powered up are very exciting.
yeah thanks!
i finally managed with this game to draw a decent looking laser beam!
i got lucky with the 'crackles' by trying out a brush effect on krita on top of a graduated glow line
game is super good, great concept! I’ve played
Really fun. Would definitely beat up the sun again.
Cool retro graphics and lasers especially looks very cool. Started to be easy after few fire ups. Would be easier if show also default keyboard buttons for firing. Boss is too far from start.
Fun concept, love the art very fun to play :)
Great work! A fun experience with great art
Star Orbit is a very atmospheric shoot 'em-up. I think it is very well put together, and it was rather easy. Great concept and good job :D
