Hi! I'm the dev. Thanks a lot for playing. Appreciate your constructive criticisms and the feedback from the comments :)
Amazing game, and very pretty s2.
I agree that the "white flash" from "getting hit" and "ataking" should be diferent (and diferent from the white background probably too), probably more red but you could choose. Obs:. I also don't like, how in other games, everything is red (bullets, buffs, ataking animations, etc). So... idk, maybe a little diference between the colors that represent diferent things should help.
What about making the "Will attack" indicator small cute exclamation mark above their heads? :3
@@Touhitsublue might be better since the enemies are kinda red themselves but I always trust the dev knows best
were you inspired by ror2 at all? the power ups remind me of ror2
true, the DEV decides how much visual clarity the game will have, Marvel vs CAPCOM for example has a lot of visual pollution but is still a good game. But in a bullet hell game I always prefer things to be easy to see and understand, so we can TRY to react properly.@@xraidev
Boss idea: Do you remember these maze games where you couldn't touch the walls with your cursor? Boss creates a maze and it can teleport to several different spots in the maze and you have to race to get to it to do DPS phases before it teleports to the next spot.
Item idea: click and hold to teleport. It's a legendary super rare, but if this is a boss that has to be an item
without jumpscares please
@@blacxthornEdouble jump scares as a dominance play
the teleport works like the old right clicking trick
This idea is so sick
the enemies are cool but I feel they're a bit too grouped up, thats a big reason why its so easy, as well as no moving enemies, I wanna see enemies that chase your cursor.
Agreed, chasing enemies can make the game much more interesting.
Another cool addition would be special item combos.
Curious to see how this game will turn out.
Not many games that use the cursor as something you should pay attention to. The only other one I can think of being mini dead. And apart from the enemies attack warning being the same color as them being hit, this game seems so fun and has so much potential
I agree only wish that clicking was relevant to the gameplay.
I've been playing hammerfight in my childhood. Thats the best mouse physics game imo. And now i see more mouse swiping game, im gonna like this.
Come on how could you forget Clickertale, it's one of the classics.
It has a lot of potential. They might want to consider adding mini-health bars to make blasting enemies more satisfying (and for those numbers to make sense)... bosses.. different kinds of waves (like where the enemies are spread out, or where they spawn in waves), more enemy types (that can move and chase you around for instance, or get knocked back far away to make them harder to kill), elite enemies, minibosses, items/skills that go onto your left and right click etc etc, and of course the more items/skills they add, and perhaps make it so that they can level up in different ways, the merrier (gives more variety and replayability).
A "new" genre is born, I love it. Now I patiently wait for a comment that this was done already ala Vampire Survivors or The Simpsons.
Clickertale as well, search it up.
I did play a game like this a long time ago on one of the flash game websites. Couldn't tell you what it was called or anything else about it though.
@@Arvensa Cool story bro, I believe you.
i made this kind of mouse bullet hell game on scratch a few years ago but it sucked really bad
@Arvensa many such games - death vs monstars, frantic, bullet heaven, most bullet hell games that started the genre were mouse based
The game looks really cool, I would love more videos on it when it comes out.
That's awesome! I just tried it out on my steam deck, its awesome using the touch screen - kind of like a mobile game (can also use the touchpad). Great video, thanks!
I want sure about trying on steam deck. I appreciate u commenting on it. Definitely gonna check it out now!
@@heckzotica Happy to do it, that's the one thing about doing all my gaming on the deck, not every game works right - it can be frustrating. This one has a demo, that's what I downloaded to test before paying - give it a go!
Such a cool concept, can't wait for the full game!!
Ultimate bubble popping stimulator, Roguelite edition.
Wishlisted! Looks fun, and like the cursor is you thing.
This is a really neat looking game. Thanks for showing it off!
Unique game idea. Great job dev!
I love when indie games gets actually effort in the concept and gameplay, this is totally new and i'm excited for more!
It should reward slicing quickly in linear line. Like a slash sound with bonus Aoe and damage. So it encourages more cool movement and less mouse wiggling which is less fun.
I've been looking at this game for a little bit. It sounds very fun.
This is a very cool idea! I can see a lot of potential in this. Obviously it's just a demo so I don't expect it to be fully realized yet, but there are some great bones to this. I look forward to the final release @RealPeach!
I had a dream about a game similar to this, only it was sort of a tower defense thing? But you defend an entire castle with your mouse that deals damage. I was wondering since then if a game like that actually exists. This is the closest thing I have found to it at least mechanically. I'm glad someone else thought of this
one of the fastest time-to-wishlists of any of your videos hahaha
3 upgrade ideas:
StarNova: Every 30 seconds, shoot a shooting star randomly and upon impact, it explodes and produces regular stars arranged in a circular pattern.
Friendship: When hitting an enemy, there's a chance to teleport and transform it into a green ally. The transformed enemy will then attack other foes.
Faster: Reduces the time it takes for the hit cooldown against enemies.
what a clever game idea. reminds of those old web pages with the custom mouse trails!
This seems really fun to play!
Hey there, Retro! There is an (kind of) old indie game with similar premise. It's called Point Perfect. The gameplay is very similar, though rather than going through enemies to defeat them, you need to select them (like multiple folders and shortcuts on your desktop).
Can’t wait to right click for punching enemies with the option panel.
Cool concept
There's also greedventory where you can also use the cursor for a variety of things
I could totally imagine some enemies like ones that chase to hurt you, and can only die when all other enemies are dead. or enemies that can only be attacked at a certain side/weakpoint. I do wonder how boss levels on this game could turn out. There's good potential in this simple lil game concept!
In this video retro gets jiggy with it
stopped a little bit into your video and went to go get the demo.... this game is gonna be amazing, had to stop myself before i played for an hour. def want to pick it up.
best website for downlaoding softwares
i litterally was just about to go to discord to ask if you were going to try this, and then boom, there was the video on the next scroll.
Cute game, but I feel like there should be more differences between the cursors. With heart pickups, having extra health with the stone cursor doesn't make a lot of sense. For example, the sword will kill things faster, and so health pickups will naturally present themselves more often so it balances out. Maybe if the stone cursor took half damage I'd definitely consider picking it. Because while you're losing damage, you're still getting something useful out of it for the entirety of the gameplay.
The music cutting in and out during the skill selection is a bit jarring, too. Additionally I'd love to see a damage breakdown on the results screen so you can see which skills were the most performant.
Reto always finds the rarest jems.
Dudeeee, this is coooool
you may have enabled enhanced cursor precision in windows cursor settings by default which makes your cursor go flying all over the screen, it is like sensetivity acceleration in quake but junky
Watching this made me want to play Fruit Ninja again
I think a boss that's a more traditional bullet he'll type boss that gets tired easily could be cool, lik it does the more complex and long string of attacks then it gets tired for a few seconds in which you're supposed to quickly swipe at it. Rinse and repeat to win
that musik sounds so much like eastward in the waves
Was feeling lucky and found this
Bosses in this game should capitalize off of the strengths moving with a cursor are and turn them against the player. Someboddy reccomended a maze game-like boss which is great. so heres another idea.
Boss idea: The floor would turn to lava except for a small floating platform. you have to keep your mouse on the platform as it moves. when the lava eventually goes away, the boss will pop up and you can damage it. after half health the platform gets smaller. and after a quarter health the platform moves faster.
Wonder if the Fire trail & Chance of Fire abilities aren't compatible? Since if the Fire Trail is a 100% chance for them to catch on fire then the other makes no difference if it triggers? Unless it's like the silly games where you can stack upon stacks upon stack abilities
Hey retro, I've been looking for a game and i was curious if you know of something that fits what I'm looking for!
I am looking for a game like heroes of might and magic or age of empires, but it is procedurally generated roguelike? Have you seen or played something like that?
Active abilities would be cool!
The look of the bullets give me enter the gungeon vibes
Seems like adrenaline could counteract the tanky sword's weakness, since the extra health turns into damage.
does anyone else recognise the track playing on the menu and when picking an upgrade? i swear i've heard it elsewhere....
Ehat about skills and spells activated by specific movement? :D
ya totaly should try Hammerfight. that's where your cursor is real character!
Bro when he got the cactus upgrades he just sounded like a mini-blender
Maybe an item that allows you to dodge one attack and takes a certain amount of time to recharge?
A new character could be a glass knife that either does a lot of damage or a gets 2 upgrades per level for but has 1 hp so it lives up 2 it’s name got this idea from tainted lost in BOI
Awesome looking game. It’s giving fruit ninja and I love that
Cute idea
I can't help but think that using touch pad rather than mouse would be a self imposed challenge mode
OSU HELL?? Did Retro pull out the drawing tablet to play? 🤯
Congratulation, you slowly become an OSU! player.
Try adding mouse selection and different weapons for it
i like automation, so when i saw cacti and destructive mushrooms, i knew i HAD to play, i like cacti, shroom, star, magma and bubble forcefield. really nice, every 10 secs you can do some brief CARNAGE. away from the field of force, and to the weapons, cacti and shroom are for when you don't have forcefield, star and magma are for XTRA CARNAGE!!!
i forgot shield, for when you're facing goblins and you don't have forcefield
This is just like the soul of a ds game put into a mkb game!
Am i going crazy or Is this the Yu-gi-oh GX song from the map, i hear in the background ?
I feel like like i heard this song somewhere but i am not sure, maybe it's similar.
You could definitely get away with the no care build if you had the more immediate damage weapons. You had all the weapons that are about caring when you tried to no care if you had done that with the lighting and stars you'd be beyond fine
Decks
Deck 1: Fire Deck
Magma and Fire. Lays Out A Path Of Fire Leaving No Survivors
Deck 2: Damage Deck
Pufferfish, Shootibg Star, and Electricity. Everyone Gets Hurt Even Yourself.
Deck 3: Aura Deck
Cactus and Shroom. An Aura of Death with Spikes and Poison.
Best Support Abilities IMO
i.e Target, Bomb
1. Target: A Crit Hit seems really good to me.
2. Porcupine: Shooting Star Mixed With Shroom.
3. Bomb: Really Good Damage But bad Spawn Rate.
This is the evolution of Fruit Ninja?
The game would add endless mode, new enemies, hard bosses, and more
Don't forget that the game needs to go through it's alpha and beta versions until it's official then few years it's remastered
this game is giving me carpal tunnel :D
The cursade
Audio kinda sounds like dodgeball academia, but the shop is 100% from neophyte
I hope this get to home sweet home level of popularity.
WoW
if i were to describe this game's artstyle, i would say gingerpale, if you watch A SINGLE VIDEO he has made, you would get it (this is a good thing)
Tf what a cool game
I just want to say I really enjoy your videos, but I wish so many of the games were finished rather than demos.
Porcupine would be great if he actually got it
Oh cool a new game... wait IS THAT CLICKER TALE oh its not... cool
clicker tale is not the first clicker game lol, and this ISN'T a clicker game haha what
Am I tripping or does the music sound like the yugioh game on pc fighting Kaiba
And sonny, this is how I got arthritis 😊
The dev was from thailand you know🎉
bro, the new osu is crazy!!!1??11?!1?!!!1
I think it would be cool with this game had a timed mode wear instead of enemies doing damage to you you had to kill them in a few seconds otherwise you take damage also I will definitely be looking forward to when the game is out of the demo
this is LITTERALLY clicker tale 2
I just looked it up, they look very little alike. Clicker Tale 2 is a clicker game, a genre that there are thousands of. This isn't even in that genre, it just uses the cursor, but so does almost every game lol.
@@Retromation didnt think youd respond but.
True
clickertale did this years ago
If this is what passes as a bullet hell these days then Fortnite must seem like a bullet nightmare
i love cute graphics games
ok but why cursorblade and not cursword i mean come on
e
2 cent game not more.
cute cursor unalive everything on sight
Nice one actually.
Hyped for the final release 💞🥹
