Protocol: SPIN
This is a game made for the Solo Dev Game Jam #4
You are a ship in space being attacked by the Cult of Triangles. Initiate Protocol: SPIN. All your ship can do is spin in either direction and shoot at them. Press 'A' to change spin direction. Press 'D' to Shoot. After each wave, upgrade your ship to fight off the next wave. Game is kind of a Roguelike with the luck based things. Post your HighScores in the comments!
I made this game all by myself as the game jam requires. I did use publically available music by Jan125. https://opengameart.org/content/stereotypical-90s-space-shooter-music
This game was a lot of fun to make, I know of some problems and things I'd have liked to fix, but that's what a game jam is all about lol. Please let me know of any other problems with the game and feedback so that I can improve. Thank you for checking out my game!
If you are interested in the development of this game, I am going to upload a video about the development on my Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@tnbrbrad

I really loved the style and the nice glow. Very intuitive controls, the rotation was something I had fidget with until I got a feel for it. Pretty solid gameplay, although I feel like I hit a difficulty plateau when I had certain upgrades leveled a bit, notably the amount of cannons. Eventually it felt like wave 30 and 60 were about the same(the game crashed at wave 63, that might have been my browser though). I also noticed that the choice between two downgrades at once showed up very rarely, maybe more often could help put more tension on the player when they get too strong. It's ok to be mean the player sometimes haha. Overall, great game! Well done!
Thank you for playing and your great feedback! I think if I added different types of enemies like I planned it might’ve fixed the samey feeling. Yeah I tried being a bit mean, but apparently the game was hard on some people because of the balancing so tough balance for sure. Also sorry to hear your game crashed lol, different and less enemies might’ve fixed that too 😅
Put's my game to shame. Amazing partial effects, awesome art, and fun gameplay, and the crunch when you kill an enemy 10/10 effect.
Thank you so much! I'll have to try your game.
