A downloadable game for Windows

It is simple topdown shooter. Magician Krist moved into strange dimension.
Into dimension of purple eyes-killers. He is flying through darkness.




As idea, it is variation of Space Invaders. But with arthouse visual.
And very simple in a terms of visual and gameplay.

Main colors - purple and black. Like on some early Black Sabbath albums cover.


Control:
For menu - arrows keys, SPACE, ESCAPE buttons.
Ingame - LEFT, RIGHT arrows for move,
SPACE for shoot, ESCAPE for pause menu.

I played your game up to region 13, and it's a neat little strange game. If I may offer some feedback, the flashing purple squares that fill up the whole screen are a bit too harsh. it might help if you had them fade in and out instead of had them pop up instantly. it was by far the biggest problem I had, I don't even have epilepsy and it still caused me physical pain.

 aside from that I thought it had a lot of neat and interesting spins on the space invaders formula, I especially liked the falling blocks that forced you onto one side of the screen or the other.

Hello! Cool! good advice! And thanks for playing this far!

You played it pretty ok! Lv 13- congrats!

You are exactly right- strange and space invaders! 

Yes, of course! thx for feedback! if i start development part II, than i will do like you say.

It will be clouds, and you can in or out and avoid them. 

Have a cool no clouds day!

Hi there DimaLink, I have played your game but I had to stop at one point! The reason is that I am one of those people who have a problem with flashing images and your game contains that sometimes! I will be happy if you can hit me with a subscription to my YouTube channel, it really motivates more to do these itch.io reviews seeing you developers joining in. Here are some small notes.



  • I am beyond impressed to the fact that your game has auto generated levels each time you press a new game! It is so good to see how much different the start of each new game.
  • I was hoping for the music to be lowered down a little bit as an option better than turning it off (it was loud to be honest).
  • Your gameplay is so good and it has that element of challenging.
  • I love the score system and all related to the gameplay. However, I see that the loading screen takes time and it seems that it is made of chunks! Not sure how to explain it better.
  • There is an issue with the going to the full screen when recording only! It is only related to recording results (it works perfectly normal on the PC).

If I could handle the pain in my eyes because of the flashing images, I would for sure try to finish the game! Hope this video and these notes can help you out sir.
