Cardiac Assault by Charlie_Bror

[raw]
made by Charlie_Bror for LD 39 (COMPO)

EPILEPSY WARNING - Flashing lights

Wager your life by galvanising your heart, putting it under insane risk of rupturing forth under the stress, all for the power the unleash wild current to tear your enemies apart, eviscerating them with whipping lashes of rending lightning.

HOW TO PLAY

Click when your heart beats to shoot out lightning and generate current. The higher your current, the stronger you become. Touching the enemies evaporates them at the cost of draining your energy significantly.

Heart runs out of current, it'll kill you. Heart gets too much current, it'll kill you. In fact, you'll have to work Very Hard to stay alive.


PATCH NOTES: In my tired delirium I accidentally ruined a huge amount of the maths behind the power system. My brain was so tired I couldn't remember the start of a sentence by the end of it, never mind confusing spaghetti coded power systems. I've fixed them up, hopefully, I'm still to tired to do it properly hah!

Not enough is explained. Took a few tries to get what is going on, but after that it was fun.

I think I get it?

The biggest problem for me is the lack of clarity when it comes to what is "too much" or "too little." Maby a voltage meter or a progress bar of sorts will help out.

But I see what you're doing and I like it, congratz on releasing!

Took a bit to have some semblance of an idea on how to play, but after that, it's alright. I'm a bit too scatterbrained to handle both the "don't get murdered" aspect and the heart-rate management, to be frank. Fun idea, though, and I imagine there are people out there who would be absolute beasts at this. I'm just not one of them. :P

Hey! Not a standard idea. I like it. You need to get used to mechanics and after third try I did it. Simple game but interesting idea. Good job. :thumbsup:
