this is amazing! the gameplay's great and the art and sfx fits really well together. well done!
Really fun and creative concept! The risk/reward mechanic with the clouds was unique, and charging the turret added a cool layer of strategy. Some balancing tweaks and upgrades for the turret would make it even better, but overall, awesome job for a game jam entry!
really smart mechanic of having the turret be charged by something that you need to avoid- was a really cool challenge! found it a little difficult to survive past 80-100 seconds, maybe having some way to gain health or upgrade could be cool! thanks for making this :D
Great suggestion!
Thanks for playing!
Atmosphere and art was great, having to keep the turret charged was super cool! I'd like to see where you take this in the future!
Thanks for playing!
I really like the atmosphere and gameplay of this game! Immerses instantly into the storm theme!
I'm glad you liked it!
Like others have said, the idea of charging the turret with the storm clouds and being able to move it is really unique. This could become a stand out game if given enough time and polish. Keep up the awesome work guys!
Thanks for the encouragement and thank you for playing!
I'm a sucker for top down shooters so this was definitely up my alley. The cloud mechanic felt unique and encouraged the player to move without the use of a million enemy bullets on screen.
The only thing I would like to see different would be the player's bullets doing a bit more damage and maybe going a little further. Had fun playing your game!
Thanks for the constructive feedback. Balancing is always a struggle so we dicided to make it pretty difficult.
Thanks for playing!
Had some fun playing this shooter! In a lesson in actually reading instructions, once I understood how the game worked I stopped dying in the storm and surivived a while. using the clouds to power the turret is a great mechanic, Nice work!
Thanks for playing!
It's very creative to use the clouds to energize the turret
Decent top-down shooter, but even after reading the game description, I was still left confused about certain parts of the game (mostly how damage is dealt); a bit more elaboration there would've helped. Also the font looks out of place.
The artstyle is pretty good though
Thanks for the constructive feedback!
And thank you for playing :)
Cool! Nice idea to charging the turret and move it.
I really like the camera movement. Also the art is super unique and cool! Very Good Game 👍
Decent little shooter. I did better when I read the instructions :P
Good concept and easy to pick up. The theme and feel were nice too, fitting with the theme.
Thanks for playing!
That was pretty cool! I love the risk/reward thing with the clouds
Yes, I think so too. It was my idea, though :) Anyway, thanks for playing the game!
I like the idea, but would have liked to upgrade the turret or had more turrets or some kind of next step
Yes, we had this idea but didn’t have enough time to implement it… It was a 2 men project and i had to work a full-time job on the side. But thanks for playing the game, and we appreciate the feedback.
I love how you can get hit by a lightning if you stay under the storm cloud for too long.
Would have loved seeing some sort of progression for the player weapons.
Yes, thanks for the suggestion and thanks for playing!
Wow this one's a lot of fun and I really like the unique mechanics with charging the turret and moving it around. I like the subtle detail of trying not to get zapped by the storm clouds. Really nice job on this!
Thanks for playing!
This is super cool!! I think its a really unique interpretation of the theme and the gameplay is super solid!!
Thank you!
This was my first ever game jam. I liked it a lot and i will be joining more in the future :)
